Kenny did a great job selling those neck bumps. Had me wince a few times.
He's a good babyface, no way he would work injured but the spots he does and the selling has me invested.
A "Happy Birthday" chant for Adam Cole. That's awesome.
THE NUTS OF SLAP
That popped me 🤣 I'm still a mark for Broken Matt Hardy
Hahaha, I love/hate MJF. He's such a fake asshole.
He is absolutely crushing it
He's got a voice like Christina Aguilera.
Don has HEAT!!
Just catching the promo now and good god, the booing is non-stop lol
Has a Canadian ever gotten such heat in Canada?
The crowd is def hot but that Yuta Omega match was good.
Fun match, both Darby and OC may be in full body casts by the end of the tournament.
Darby's going to turn OC into a hardcore wrestler just like he did Sting.
And the match was great. Crowds been solid too.
The Darby and OC vs Keith Lee and Swerve was so good
As soon as Lee launched Darby with that biel I knew we were in for a show.
Since Collision, it feels like the whole product has had more room to breathe. I'm really liking it.
Just realized I need MJF to try calling Cole BUDGE at least once
Wow what a show. My first ever AEW show in person, some thoughts from the experience.
I hope the crowd volume translated well on TV - it was electric in there all night
Don Callis heat was absolutely nuclear, I don't think anyone in the arena heard a word he said
I can now put on my resume that I've been scissored by Anthony Bowens. On that note - The Acclaimed are potentially the single most over act with the crowd. 50% of the merch is Acclaimed merch and outside of booing Don Callis, the crowd was definitely the hottest for either them or Kenny.
Kenny Omega is somehow even more impressive in person - hot damn he's just a level above when it comes to making you believe it's real with how he performs every move
Without any spoilers, rampage is a really fun one. Definitely worth tuning in on Friday.
The only other live show I've been to is when Smackdown came to edmo like 15 years ago - even with the large gap I'm wowed by the difference in experience between a WWE show and an AEW show - you hear people talk about how WWE shows are shows made for TV that happen to be filmed live and AEW shows are shows made for the live experience that happen to be on TV and I can definitely agree - you almost don't realize there's commercial breaks going on at an AEW show if you're not actively paying attention for it.
I apologize for us accidentally booing Stu Hart. We're all hardwired to boo the moment anyone says the word Calgary, even in casual conversation. It's not something any of us can control
Fuck calgary.
A person after my heart
Great write-up! You guys were one of the best crowds in a long time. I'd be surprised if AEW isn't back within a year.
Hopefully! I've heard that ticket sales weren't quite what they were hoping across the Canada tour, so here's hoping that doesn't deter them from coming around again in the near future.
I wish Keith Lee had stuck with the grey hair.
He went from bearcat to polar bearcat and now back to bearcat...
Whoever gave Wheeler Yuta that chain deserves a raise.
Maybe? Wut, Chris?
Hell yeah Eddie Kingston
Prince Nana dances like Elaine from Seinfeld
Everything with adam Cole and mjf is gold lol
Did Taz mention that the Acclaimed and Bollywood Boys are in the same gear? That used to be one of his pet peeves on Dark.
Lethal Lottery was the first PPV I ever watched so I'm really loving the blind eliminator tournament.
Adam Cole is Cady Heron to MJF's Regina George.
It's MJF's party and he'll cry if he wants to.
Damn! I wish that show was a minute longer.
I say that every week
For anyone wondering why they booed Stu Hart: Stu Hart's from Calgary. They're in Edmonton. Edmonton and Calgary are rival cities.
Daddy Magic on Dynamite is always a good thing
The Ruby/Britt match was so good! <3
