Posted August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023712 This has been one of the best built PPV cards in AEW history. So many matches I am excited for. Dragon has to be winning.
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023713 After Dynamite I'm 90% sure Swerve is winning convincingly. Even though I think that is the right call in all honesty , I don't think I can stomach watching it live. Probably gonna watch it with an hour delay on Thriller.
August 25, 20241 yr Author comment_6023715 Maybe Hangman loses the gauntlet and in his hatred and fury at Swerve, costs him the title in the main event
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023727 Brian Cage and Sammy Guevara both dressing like Wolverine while on opposite teams in the same match is pretty funny.
August 25, 20241 yr Author comment_6023735 Toni receiving far more cheers than I would have thought she would get at Wembley. Both a sign of the changing nature of stadium crowds as well as a testament to the excellent work these two did in the build
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023738 Loved the opener as it had some fun bumps, minimal dead time/set up spots and they did a good job shifting focus to different folks throughout. But what I love even more is an afternoon PPV! No getting tired for the biggest matches or conflicts about staying up super late ahead of work. As far as I'm concerned all PPVs should be from Europe.
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023740 Until that spot on the steps and ensuing juice this was just a television match and it seemed the moment was much bigger than the match. Let's see what the back half has to offer.
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023742 Major props to Toni Storm. Found a completely new character, got it over huge AND got to make someone new from scratch in Mariah. That was a very good match and much better than I expected (didn't really like May matches prior to this one).

August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023746 Taz should've done that 5 minutes earlier so the match was shorter, lol.

August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023750 It sure looks like they didn’t get to 80k based on crowd shots. They keep going back to wide shots and it’s not looking nearly as full in the top levels like last year. Interesting. The show has a meandering pace after the opener. Hoping the tag title match picks things up a bit.

There was a Taylor Swift concert that made it basically impossible for them to change the set up from her shows (either that or they just piggy backed on that set up to cut costs on production crews). After the 1st advance, they just set their goal to 50k and that's what they got (53k according to WrestleTix).
August 25, 20241 yr comment_6023756 Good for him and I will say he looks pretty crisp. Also I don’t recognize any of these theme songs. lol.
