July 12Jul 12 comment_6032460 So the Continental and International Titles aren't on the line, and we are crowning a new champion..... cause this company needs more belts..... Contrary to my posts, I am enjoying this show!!
July 12Jul 12 comment_6032463 3 minutes ago, Timbo Slice said: They are and they’re being combined to become the United title? I thought Tony Khan said in an interview thar they weren't being unified and this was just a new title.
July 12Jul 12 comment_6032466 If they've committed to these mega long shows, then they should keep doing them as matinees. I've been enjoying watching and cooking and straightening up the place as opposed to being up at 12 am trying not to fall asleep.
July 12Jul 12 comment_6032467 Well you know, the World, International, Continental, TNT, Tag Team, Trios, RoH World, RoH Tag Team, RoH Pure, and RoH Trios titles just weren't giving the men enough to compete for, so a new title had to be created......
July 12Jul 12 comment_6032468 Both guys being so beat up means this doesn’t have the kinetic energy the matches in Japan had, and while this is fundamentally sound, it’s not what a lot of folks wanted it to be.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032469 Well, they just made it sound like the belts are unified. Here is hoping!! All right....let's end this Death Riders nightmare!
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032470 Holy Shit! She was amazing. Props to the crowd for being respectful during that as well.
July 13Jul 13 Author comment_6032472 We all knew there were going to be interferences, but they were done very well. I thought they did an excellent job conveying hatred and desperation than a stunt show or a typical plunder match. Loved the match. Look at how incredibly hot they are for Hangman, after more than 7 hours in the building. That's how you know he's the ace
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032473 That match was everything it needed to be times a hundred. The Death Riders vanquished, Hangman is redeemed, Danielson avenging the end of his career....everything was perfection.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032475 Those fork shots were something else! That show was definitely worth the money.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032476 What an absolutely incredible main event. The involvement of everyone was pitch perfect and Danielson being a part of it was just amazing. Couldn't love it more. I don't throw 5 stars at much but this is one was easy. Running a 6 hour show is a kick in the nuts no matter what, but if you're going to do that a least close it like this.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032484 Holy fucking shit of a hell that main event. Nothing like it. Absolutely surreal match. Has to be the MOTY.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032487 Really good show. Bucks-Swerve/Ospreay was the best kind of melodramatic kickout fest, Okada-Omega had probably their "worst" match but it was still pretty damn great, and the main event gets a bajillion stars.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032496 So Adam Cole got hurt taking a lariat in the six man on Collision, and it sounds like it might legit be a career ender but like he said in his promo he isn't in the right head space to make that decision at the moment.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032497 All timer good vibes PPV. Can't even think of one that felt the same. AEW is delightful and thank goodness it exists.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032498 Watched this late and could skip/fast forward stuff so didn't feel as long as it really was. Tremendous stuff by pretty much everyone throughout the show. Mercedes outfit had me weak, not gonna lie, my gawd. I hope they run that Toni match back soon, really liked the match and felt they have another one (or even two) in their pocket. I hope they get the main event spot though. Mox vs Hangman was incredible. Cannot state how fucking happy I was at Hangmayne stabbing Mox not 4 minutes in with that fork. That shit set the tone for the rest of match and it was QUICK, just a perfect spot. Mox was great as well, y'all know I can't fucking stand him 99% of the time but tonight was that 1% were he was dope as fuck. All the run ins and interference were done perfectly as well, the fact we all knew each of those were gonna happen and still worked so well just shows you the level of execution. Also, E&C vs FTR for All Out in Canada might be something special.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032499 Oh, and Jojo coming out singing Ain't Nobody got a huge pop from me. If Swerve would've come out dancing I would've lost it the match/moment wasn't right but I'd love to watch him do that entrance once again. How much does Chaka Khan is charging for that song, goddamn.
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032500 By the way, I assume everyone has seen the Players Tribune short film on the Briscoe family but if for some reason you haven't you need to watch it immediately. Easily one of the best wrestling related things I've ever seen. It's sometimes hard to separate Mark from his more goofy TV persona, but the way he stepped up for his family is remarkable. Him talking about the day Jay died and there's a moment where he just stops mid sentence and it's clear he's reliving it in his mind was heartbreaking. It should also not be overlooked how badass Jay's girls are for how they've recovered from their (serious) injuries. The older girl even seemed to be channeling Jay when she was talking about being told she would have a difficult road to recovery and her response was basically "fuck that, I'm not letting my dad down".
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032501 Spent that whole show with a smile plastered across my face. Well, other than that very serious sounding Adam Cole promo. Daddy Magic saying that they shared some “I love you’s” set the alarm bells ringing that it’s more than a wrestling injury but let’s hope not. Whole show was great, even if the pre-show matches were rough as toast. Men’s gauntlet probably went too long but I guess TK wanted to give everyone their moment at the big show and Cope doing his full entrance on his return was stupid but those are my two gripes. It would have been easy to just crown Fletcher in the 4-way but giving Dustin that moment in Texas and giving us a couple of months of the DUSTIN RHODES TNT OPEN CHALLENGE before having Fletcher win will rule. All the interference in the main kind of went down how I expected but that’s no bad thing as it was so great. The best Moxley match of his AEW run? Hangman feels some degrees bigger and better than during his last run and he really does feel like the man in a way nobody else is. Awesome show. Felt like a huge celebration of what has made AEW so great in the last 6 months and has set up plenty for down the road. Athena vs Toni Storm is going to be so great
July 13Jul 13 comment_6032502 Mox's best match anywhere that I've seen IMO. Him panicking over his impending death after eight months of him leaving bodies in his wake was the perfect capper to this storyline.

He played it absolutely perfect as his chickens came home to roost all at once. An absolute stadium sized performance. I’m intrigued to see just how he and Darby attempt to kill each other over the next few months
