January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997133 Darby and Joe with two TV matches of the year contenders either side of the new year

Even 30 minute Ironman matches in the modern era bore me to tears. It ain’t Steamboat & Rude out there and PWO as a whole has always liked Danielson more than I do. Absolutely the worst stipulation for someone with his style. Specially with his main event cycling.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997135 Darby deserves this and nothing will ever beat Sting showing up on my tv. Awesome moment, awesome match, and just all around awesome story. That Sting promo last week set the tone for this match and it delivered.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997136 Joe as a killer champion is always hard to lose but Darby had to win.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997137 Wardlow getting fucked over just so Darby could get that title win. I AM DISGUSTED.

Wardlow stopped being over - or interesting at all - the minute he won the title from Max. Blame Tony Khan all you want for that - and there's definitely plenty of blame to go around - but start-stop booking hasn't diminished Darby or Eddie Kingston in the eyes of the fans.

Yeah but do you really think Danielson can’t make it work? Dude got a near perfect match out of Bray fucking Wyatt. I know hating on MJF is the modus operandi of this board, but there is absolutely nothing in his history that indicates that he can’t follow a vet like Danielson to a great result.

January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997141 MJF had a really good 40 minute match with Punk. Danielson had a masterclass for 60 minutes against Hangman. I don't like Iron Man matches as they tend to get too cute with the falls and structure but I'm for sure looking forward seeing if Dragon and Max are able to pull off a great PPV main event.

Kingston has vet cred, and Darby always was featured in dope tag matches with Sting. Both got way more in terms of booking than Big Ward. 1 minute ago, Embrodak said: Yeah but do you really think Danielson can’t make it work? Dude got a near perfect match out of Bray fucking Wyatt.

I mean, if he does he's truly a miracle worker. 1 minute ago, NintendoLogic said: Except Darby is better in every way that matters. Why not have both, tho?

MJF had a MOTY candidate with Darby, a comparably experienced worker, he’s fine.

Wardlow got over by being Goldberg and killing people. Jade Cargill has shown that kind of act may get over huge initially but has a limited shelf life in this day and age. It was only a matter of time before the bubble burst.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997151 Wardlow not gunning for the AEW World Title while giving the stupidest fucking excuse KILLED him.

I'm not overly excited about a Bryan-MJF Iron Man match either, but I think everyone acting like MJF is some talentless scrub who can't work have really bought into the gimmick hook, line, and sinker. It's still real to all of you, I guess.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997153 The list of people who can get me hyped for an honest to God 60 minute Ironman match is pretty short and MJF is not there. That is all.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997154 Toni Storm as the mystery partner (after Britt dropped a "boss" reference) is so anti climatic it almost has to be a swerve.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997155 the tag title match was great old school bullshit, btw. There's a reason Dusty abused that finish until it became cliche, that shit would always work. Plus Aubrey got the chance to be a hero in her hometown.
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997156 "I'm the boss WINK WINK*", yeah this is screaming swerve (I'm rewatching it now)

That is all. I mean I think this is totally fair. Bret and HBK couldn’t even do an iron man match that has stood the test of time, at least going by most “best matches of all time” lists. I will say that a 60-minute iron man match is, on paper, a conceptually HORRIBLE idea for any AEW PPV as long as they insist on having such long fucking PPVs. Danielson could wrestle a newly resurrected Macho Man and not get it over in light of all the burnout those crowds undergo by any main event match. The thing that worked in the tag title match finish btw was that the referees were already out there to throw out Satnam and Daivari, so it wasn’t a total contrivance. It’s a shame that AEW didn’t actually go the “sports based presentation” route, there is genuine creativity that flowers forth from having a consistent set of rules and protocols. The crowd was infinitely hotter for that than they were for yet another JAS beat down. (BTW, Does Aubrey usually wear that much eyeshadow? It was genuinely distractingly much, for me, and I’ve never noticed it on her before.)
January 5, 20232 yr comment_5997158 Shida seems to be playing it up on Twitter that she's pissed that Saraya picked Toni, so I'm thinking she's gonna beat Toni's ass and leave an opening for another partner.

That guy has nothing but upside. He should be and hopefully will be a Main Event level player, and hopefully sooner rather than later. His ring skills are consistently solid to sometimes excellent, but more importantly he just has that mythical “It Factor.” Charisma and personality to spare. If TK has half a brain, he will push the hell out of this guy. It absolutely baffles me that WWE had him, and released him.

Reminds me of Abyss and AJ in TNA. Every time they faced off, it was watchable no matter what the stakes were. Hell, screw the damn Elite, give me those guys in a Best of 7.
