July 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5958217 Yeah but they didn't say it would be on AEW. PnP are so over
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958218 Also makes sense he would be on an AEW show considering the rumors of the bearded vegan guy who really wants to work NJPW guys coming in.
July 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5958220 A lot of heel wins on this show. I don't know what I feel about it
July 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5958221 I mean this guarantees that Punk is coming soon. But if he is working Darby, then who is facing Omega?

July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958224 Just now, MoS said: Was it a cut or did he break his arm? I'm not sure Looked like he got sliced along his wrist/forearm and there was a huge puddle of blood under him already

July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958235 Holy balls, I was not expecting them to go Full Nick Gage here. Also THE JUICE IS LOOSE next week!
July 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5958236 THE JUICE IS LOOSE!!! (Also how is it just been 15 years MJF?) That main event was certainly a spectacle. Credit to Jericho, he clearly got his feelings hurt about his big Blood and Guts bump being mocked, so he killed himself to get the match over, and I thought it worked. I have a lot of questions and second guesses about some booking decisions tonight, but despite all of that, AEW just feels like a red-hot promotion right now. One week, Nick Gage shows up. Net week, Juventud will show up. Another week, Hiroshi Tanahashi might show up. Today Meng was there. Punk and Danielson are coming. It's just a hot promotion, even if I question some of its storytelling
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958237 I'm not crazy about Hangman being back-burnered, but if you got Punk coming in and your next PPV happens to be in Chicago you gotta strike while the iron is hot.
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958238 I think a lot of the storytelling issues are BECAUSE they all of a sudden have a lot of hot talent at their disposal and they don’t really know what to do. I mean, Bryan/Omega is obviously the match, but they also have to pay off Hangman and now he’s getting pushed out of the picture. Things happened extremely quickly and I think they had their plans post-COVID blown up when both Bryan and Punk showed interest. Now Moxley is most likely facing Okada, which probably wasn’t in the cards until a few weeks ago either.

Dave was very clear that this is the kind of match to expect when the forbidden door was open, the only thing preventing it was the travel restrictions to and from Japan.
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958241 My hope was actually Moxley/Gage in a Deathmatch to play off the Dark Side doc and the pizza cutter, which came into play tonight, but I don’t know how good a Moxley/Okada match would actually be. Okada is broken down something fierce, but I also wonder if maybe what’s been happening in New Japan over the last 18 months or so has sapped him of his interest a bit? Maybe this is to get him motivated?
July 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5958242 Does Bryan-Omega or Punk-Omega need the world title? In fact, if there is no world title on the line, it means that Omega can actually lose and Bryan and Punk don't lose their first major match back. Booking them just to pop one big gate or for one major show instead of trusting their process and letting the big stars fit in and enhance their product doesn't seem far-sighted imo. It is, dare I say, what WCW used to do
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958245 I've been going on an early ECW bender since most of it is up on the 'Cock now, and I just watched Rey and Juvi have a match from like 94 or 95 and now in 2021 both will be on opposing national promotions. I still am wondering if 2021 is just a mass hallucination from everyone being cooped up for most of 2020.
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958246 Well, it was clear to me who was carrying whose sorry ass in that GCW main event. I don't have an issue with Gage being a former bank robber but as a fundamental worker he's painful to watch (and I'm not talking about the gore, I mean like how his sorry ass apparently doesn't even know how to execute running the ropes).
July 29, 20214 yr comment_5958247 Watching the 10 man tag right now.... You remember those Mr. Perfect vignettes? They left you thinking "that guy can do anything he wants athletically to anybody". The Space Jam tie in had the exact opposite affect. I watched The Young Bucks and Omega trying to dribble a basketball and came away with the conclusion that they probably got stuffed in a locker more than once.
