Posted June 25, 20232 yr comment_6006149 The card was haphazardly put together and has some suboptimal matches outside of the main event, but the big question is how much the NJPW folks outside the two big matches are gonna dog it.
June 25, 20232 yr comment_6006154 Last year's card was even more haphazardly put together and was missing half the AEW main event roster and was still probably the best AEW PPV last year.
June 25, 20232 yr comment_6006158 After watching Collision, Punk vs Kojima might have a bigger atmosphere/heat than Kenny vs Ospreay

This might be the one and only acceptable time to watch Jake Hager wrestle, if he could step in as a substitute, and they agreed to work “snug.” Dude has been in AEW since day one, he may as well make himself useful for once.
June 25, 20232 yr comment_6006163 Man I hope nobody shows Chris Jericho El Phantasmo's jacket. Stu Grayson is now in the Righteous in Ring of Honor? That is a strange pairing but better than Tyler Bateman
June 25, 20232 yr comment_6006164 There once was a lady from Lunt - no, that's not it... LET US GO!!!! That's it.
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006167 I don't watch a lot of New Japan but has Kevin Kelly normally mention how incredibly physically limited Tanahashi is in the ring on New Japan shows? And not limited because MJF work in the ring but because of his career. Seems like something that isn't really featured in Japan I know this is probably naïve but wonder if Tana problem with climbing to the top rope is another way of dealing with his physical issue? I mean it isn't like the turnbuckles were different against Moxley last year Well Punk always wanted to be Bret Hart and he is definitely that. Except instead of Canada it is just the city of Chicago

Homicide was a huge Kojima fan and one of Punk's best stories was him prank calling Gabe as Homicide screaming LARIAT LARIAT
June 26, 20232 yr Author comment_6006171 Much better than the opener in so many ways, Kojima killed it this time around after an okay showing last year.
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006172 Couple of smartly-worked openers which didn't try to steal the show. Refreshing.
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006173 Damn, those two opening matches were both way better than I was expecting.
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006177 Love Daniel Garcia as the guy who desperately wants to prove that he should be sitting at the big boys table in this match and over delivered. Have a really bad feeling that the person who beats Orange for the title is someone who probably doesn't deserve it but can easily do it because he is way bigger and Orange is week after week getting destroyed. Love seeing Red Shoes getting put over by the fans
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006178 "The white elephant in the room". Don't ever stop mixing metaphors, Taz.
June 26, 20232 yr Author comment_6006179 Better four way than most, really good mesh of personalities, DG is the best Fandango ever
June 26, 20232 yr Author comment_6006180 Good little title match, SANADA looked really good and crisp, got over well with the crowd. Enjoyable first few matches in the show so far.
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006182 Not sure if Jungle Boy feuding with HOOK is good for him but anything is better than that shit with the Hardy's . TAZ looking and acting legit pissed off was a great touch
June 26, 20232 yr comment_6006184 Thought Sanada vs Jungle Boy was by far the worst match on the show. I have no idea how Perry is gonna work as a heel, hopefully he finds his footing but I wont get my hopes up. Kojima vs Punk really good and the 4 way was very, very good.
