October 12, 2024Oct 12 comment_6025082 I wonder who will show up as MxMs third. I’m guessing it’s not a blowaway pick up since it’s on the pre-show but I like the act and I hope it’s somebody that rounds it off nicely
October 12, 2024Oct 12 comment_6025088 Ha, I must admit I didn’t see that coming. I wonder if Rico is in for the weekly schedule
October 12, 2024Oct 12 Author comment_6025089 Zippy little pre show so far, AEW has it down pat where an hour or so just flies by on their shows.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025092 Apparently it puts me on an island with my boy Wilson, but MXM is an absolute zero for me. On a good day. Just doesn't move the needle at all in the right direction. Page/White is absolutely rocking now but it feels a PPV or 2 early for for a babyface White to face this strong a heel. Just not there yet as a face but no surprise the work is overcoming it.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 Author comment_6025096 Love the announcers pointing out Willow learned lucha submissions during her time as CMLL champ
October 13, 2024Oct 13 Author comment_6025099 Well that three way kicked all sorts of ass, even if the ending ended up being angle advancement it still didn't bring it down for me imo

Loved it.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025104 Darby is absolutely incredible. Him and Orange Cassidy have been the AEW MVPs through their 5 years
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025105 I liked how in the three-way, Ospereay's and Ricochet's stupid power ranger spot/pose resulted in a foot to the face from Takeshita. If you're going to, in kayfabe, fuck around during a match, then you should get your face kicked in
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025106 This main event has been incredible so far. The buzz, the aura, whatever you want to call it, is off the charts

The buzz, the aura, whatever you want to call it, is off the charts Really incredible thus far. Even the unexpected use of Shafir has been pitch perfect. Moxley pacing his violence has really been something.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025108 Absolutely incredible match but the finish somehow felt a bit sudden.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025109 What an incredible match. I don't like the result but I am willing to wait and watch. Oh look, emo Yuta
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025112 In the moment I didn't like the ending. Its not at all what I wanted and isn't remotely satisfying to me. But its probably not the end. This may set up the next 3-6+ months of feuds at the top of the card. It may set up Danielson returning once or twice next year. I may feel very differently about it all then. But right now it was a sour note to wrap an absolutely incredible, riveting match.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 Author comment_6025113 I thought the ending was perfect, Bryan didn't quit and went out on his shield like we all knew he would. Since him losing would already be a bummer, it's the perfect time to do a big heat angle to get the new Big Bads over huge. The babyfaces sitting around the ring looking despondent really sold what a big deal it was. I was sort of expecting Nigel to get involved since it seemed like they were setting it up when Mox took a swipe at him, but I suppose it will probably be the next part of the story. Sometimes the bad guys need to get a big win to make it even sweeter when the heroes prevail.
October 13, 2024Oct 13 comment_6025114 I am sure some people will like it but it's also easy to see how and why others will hate it. The announcers also did a horrible job at getting that angle over. Ross basically by saying "where have they been" about talent coming down the ramp to save Bryan. Then Excalibur just basically on the verge of tears with Tony spouting off his whole "Worst thing I have ever seen in the history of this sport" hyperbole. Well, that sure didn't help it either. That three-man booth with Excalibur, Ross and Tony is ROUGH to listen to. They basically just ignore Ross the whole time and everything feels off. The match that we saw deserved a better ending than that. Maybe when Bryan comes back and fights The BCC and Moxley it might change the way I feel about this right now, but I guess I will wait and see what story AEW tells from this and if it all pays off in the end but for me it just felt off tonight. If I am in the minority on that I will take it, but that ending in my opinion was absolutely horribly executed. It's like they say. You can have a great PPV but how you end it is all people will talk about. Even though Murtos was completely awesome tonight and deserved to win his match with Hologram and Takeshita FINALLY won a title in AEW. They had some positives, but it sucks that last angle left me with such a sour taste. I guess it just all boils down to that I just don't have any desire to see Darby/Mox which is now the obvious build from that angle, because I didn't like their Grand Slam match and I highly doubt their next one would be better and I also don't care for OC/Mox either which will probably be their side quest before they do the Mox/Darby. Unless they find better dancing partners for Mox. I just don't give a damn about his title reign.
