Joining us late? Sort by new to keep up!
Metallica? tony khan right now
Queen and Metallica in the same show.
And yet they still couldn't get the actual Evanescence song for Christian Cage.
Just want Amy Lee to sing it live in person for Christian. It's what the father of the year deserves.
Can't believe 80,000 people in London got to see Metallica open for Fozzy
MJF: No I can't hurt my best buddies
Cole: Coward. I'll show you how it's done.
Cole is not being a good brochacho rn
Cole needs a lesson in hugonomics.
We are blessed that TK is a mark with money
All the entrances have not disappointed.
Moxley with a nice tribute to Terry Funk there :')
That was great. This whole match feels like a tribute to Funk.
😂 Mf'er comes out as the Devil and is about to get cheered
I didn't buy the show, so I'm not here to comment on it. But...
SRS is reporting that Jack Perry and CM Punk got into a physical altercation... I've never been anti-punk but I'm really fucking getting there. It's going to depend on if SRS can get the circumstances.
https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1695847180861362218?s=20
Damn. If only I could figure out the common denominator in all these issues...
Did SRS say when it happened? Before or after Zero Hour?
Just before Punk came out.
Apparently, it's the glass comment.
https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1695847735079916015?s=20
Awesome. Thanks for the info and links, too.
Jack vs Punk could be a nice feud as well. Alot to explore on both sides and Punk could showcase Jack
Fucking hell.
Punk picking fights with Jack now great job dude pick fights with the biggest stars today and now a future aew world champion what a clown punk is
My assumption is that Punk was pissed about Jack’s real glass comment
Is there a backstory about the glass, or why did that set him off.
https://wrestlingjunkie.usatoday.com/2023/08/15/cm-punk-jack-perry-reportedly-had-backstage-conflict-at-aew-collision-over-planned-glass-spot/
Apparently adding to the issues Punk has already faced, Fightful Select (subscription required but recommended) reports that he and Jack Perry had a backstage disagreement over a planned spot that the FTW Champion wanted to do. It happened near the start of Punk’s run on Collision.
Perry came to Collision to film a segment where he wanted to use real glass for a backstage segment. Punk thought that Perry wanted to do this so he wouldn’t have to come to work next week, which he saw as a big problem with the company.
Who you got? Cole or MJF?
I feel like Adam Cole is turning on MJF. A long shot but the kingdom or Kyle O'reilly interferes.
I love The Kingdom and you have no idea how much I would love heel Cole, O'Reilly, Bennett, Taven, and Maria as a mega stable.
I can't wait for KOR to come back.
I'm sticking with my Cole prediction.
That's what I feel.
I feel like MJF retains, if only because the whole "Real World Champion" angle doesn't really work without a unification match between Punk and MJF down the line.
Or winning the in a battle royal after entering at number 3
MJF
😂😂😂 Penta is a menace
It's so wild for him to sing Judas while Sammy his last friend accompanies him
😂😂 Now that I think about it, I don't think this is going to be a happy emotional ending
It's funny how Jericho's theme is all about someone giving in to his darker impulses and alienating everyone around him, and everyone is so shocked that he keeps doing exactly that.
Eddie and Mox have the energy of "FUCK YOU and I'll see you tomorrow at dinner."
Are they going full WM 17 with this?
Nigel is a great Christian shill
Cole has had several party fouls
Good to see Kip getting a bit of a spotlight on commentary.
And I had no idea this started an hour ago. Don't know how I missed that...
I don't think they advertised an earlier start time at all, that caught me by surprise as well. Also really glad to see Kip getting to do something on this show.
Same here! I was awake but still in bed because I didn't think it started until 9am! So I'll probably be an hour behind because I'm watching from the beginning!
Yeah they didn't really emphasize it, but I've been burned several times on overseas UFC cards
I know I'm waaaaay behind but I can't believe they put the ROH belts on BTYBB! I haven't even started the actual PPV and I'm already getting swerved!
It's been awesome. Just all gas no brakes.
You are in for a treat, my friend.
Wrestlers who watched Sting growing up getting to put on banger after banger with him you love to see it
No joke, I'm gonna shed tears when Sting finally retires.
Legitimately happy that he got to go on a fantastic run after WWE stunk up his run in WWE in 2015 though. I like that his is what we remember not that.
Broooooo no!
That looked bad
What did?
God I really wish AEW was spending the week post All In here.
Getting All In, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision as a tour would have been great. :(
THIS SHOW FUCKS
I want to start seeing Swerve win big matches.
I think they're at least moving him in the right direction. He gels with The Embassy incredibly well, much better that when he had the Brock and Umaga knock-offs.
We all deserve a friend like MJF
That dropkick from Darby was insane.
Jack Perry, you motherfucker. You would roll up in a damn limo. I love this shit.
Jericho deciding no friends is better than being friends with Sammy
I was half expecting Sammy to betray Jericho during the match.
Sammy was in his Inner Circle gear, because Sammy is not an appreciator, Sammy is a friend.
I low key love that Sammy is a ride or die while explicitly saying he doesn't agree with Chris, but he should be there for him especially when he's being an idiot.
Gives Sammy a really strong "actual good friend" vibe.
Aww, no Cutler for the Young Bucks entrance so no UK Cutler Cam on BTE :(
Great catch. And yeah, that's really disappointing...
It's just because Cutler's going to run in on the Cole/MJF winner, cash in, and become champion, clearly. I choose to believe.
They need some sort of split cam for these type of matches.
Looks like they heard you lol
We better basically get a best of 7 between FTR and the Bucks over the ylnext few years
I love how they all got "Wrestlemania" style entrances but I literally want them all to win. Ahh. The division is so good I just want them to get the time and the respect they deserve <3
100%. They have everything they need but the time.
Toni's new old Hollywood gimmick is so fucking good. Finally has the gear and music to match.
I don't think she will be using God Save the Queen at every show, but yeah, the whole presentation was aces.
Literally the reason God Save The Queen was written for tbh

Fear the Revolver
You beautiful bastard.
A coffin drop onto a coffin!? Holy shit.
Wow. What a fucking match. Not the ending I expected but damn what a match.
They must be confident cash is going to beat the charges
That match really picked up at the end. Didn't think FTR would win.
Same. I thought losing would sort of act as a punishment for the whole Cash thing...
FTR should come out to the Sopranos theme.
Every apron bump today has made me wince.
Ditto
That Takeshita forearm shot had a serious echo to it
What does FTR's armbands say? I was thinking something Bray but I can't make it out and it looks more like Brodie
Bray, Brodie, and Briscoe
Thank you! I couldn't make it out!
Man I love the new version of Jack Perry. It feels like he's really found himself as a heel.
Yeah, as much as I loved Jungle Boy, it really feels like he found himself with the heel character.
Absolutely. You have to think Christian's rubbed off on him somehow.
Christian was a father figure to Jack so it's only natural that he ends up acting like him
A father figure? I don't know how Christian would feel about that...
Once he came out to Beethoven everything clicked into place.
Who you got for FTR vs Young Bucks?
As a California expat, I gotta support the Bucks.
I'm team Bucks all the way.
Young Bucks. Fuck the Revival!
Now, where is eddie kingston
Takeshita vs Omega at All Out is gonna fuck
The one right thing Cole did cost him the match
FTR/Bucks already? Does Cash have a court date to make?
Takeshita is so freaking good
He's so good x4
But seriously he's crushed it as a heel and as a face. Really impressive for a guy who has limited English.
I love how the streamers have just been hanging out the whole show above the ring
I've noticed that throughout the show, when were they used?
The Young Bucks' entrance.
Maybe the Bucks entrance?
Roddy with the Dynamite diamond kick to the dick
Battle Cry gets me hyped everytime
Ospreay is a beast
Awesome show. I'll come back with some comments later, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for taking part. It was a fun show and a really fun thread.
"Right in the yam bag", Taz? Have a seat, buddy. We need to have a chat.
I can't guarantee I'll be posting during the show since I'm hosting a watching party. But I'll be watching live and at the very least, all comment contributors will receive their upvotes and boosts after the show.
Congrats to our new RoH Tag Champs.
I wouldn't call it excessive, but this FTW title match is bloodier than I was expecting.
It's strange to see this many people and it not being wwe
I know, right? This feels like a Wrestlemania, doesn't it?
It really is. It's shocking they were able to pull in 80k+.
I'll say it again Cult of Personality fits him so well. He's so good at going between face and heel.
Definitely. If I was facing him I'd come out to Incubus' Megalomaniac and point at him the whole time lol
My choice would be "Moron" by KMFDM, and we'd just be pointing at each other like that Spider-Man meme.
Another great choice.
I AM THE SKATEBOARD!
Damnit Jericho just shut up and let the crowd sing
I hope everyone watching has a blast and everyone attending tears the roof down! This one feels special
Seven times world champion; one time (and current) TNT champion.
Westside Gunn always sticks out
My guess for how MJF/Cole shakes out:
– Win RoH belts
– Quick celebration mid-show with Renee. Cole says something like, "No matter what happens later I love you and you're my best friend." Max agrees. It seems wholesome.
– Cole wins the world title due to "shenanigans" he'll claim he had nothing to do with. MJF believes him. But we won't.
Was Simon Miller one of the security guards during the Miro and Powerhouse contract signing?
Yeah it was 100% Simon Miller!
Jericho. Ever the showman.
I really want to see Ruby and Session Moth Martina as a team tbh because honestly it would be so fun
😂😂😂 Should've known he was bleeding when he came out in white
Joker (Sting) the Ripper. Nice.
Lol Don is great at what he does
I’ve been a huge Don Callis fan since his Jackyl days. I’m so happy to see him on TV weekly
Reminds me that I want to see Don do the jackal as Jackyl.
He's definitely my favorite Carny Piece of Shit.
This match is basically a try to stay straight challenge, my god.
Lmao that's gold Jerry, gold.
Nice swerve with Penta!
Jeezum fuckin' crow, that was a wild ride.
Agreed. Aside from the ladder, they all gave 110% in that match
Hey, that ladder gave its all.
XD
OC had a picture of a dalek on the video wall in his opening obvs
I don't like that I'm not seeing Penta. :(
Bastards worked us
And I couldn't be happier about it.
I think we all predicted that one, but I'm not disappointed.
Yeah it was still a good match. And I thought the break-up between Toni/the Outcasts was really well done.
Oh, brb. Time for my bathroom break.
☠️☠️ Best in the World at being a Bitch sign
Hearing Bush really tickles my nostalgia bone
Right? Machine Head is such a fucking banger.
Hell yeah. Sixteen Stone was a great album.
what has anthony ogogo been up to. has he been injured?
The last I heard (maybe a year ago?) is that his eyesight keeps worsening. I'm not certain, though.
He's had a number of eye surgeries and maybe some others as well. Hopefully he's all good to go.
It's gonna be hard to get him the reps he needs to get better though. Especially without Dark/Elevation now.
I'm guessing Punk vs Joe opens and MJF vs Cole closes
With JR coming out already, it's pretty much confirmed and Schiavone will swap out after the first few matches
That makes sense. Especially MJF/Cole. You want to give them extra time to recoup after their tag match.
...Also that match is gonna slap. Has to be the main event lol
For sure, biggest story and most unpredictable. I love JR, he was the voice of my childhood, but the more super indy style of AEW doesn't mesh with him and he shits on it.
Totally agree. His voice is one of the reasons I started watching AEW.
😂😂😂 A double clothesline as a tag team finisher
I love that the "Real" World Championship match is more of a blood feud rivalry and the AEW match is between 2 friends
Just realized that they stopped doing interim because of how weird it made things.
Then Punk returns and basically says MJF is the interim champ so he basically makes his own interim title
I'll only recognize it if Joe takes it.
Ouch. Rough landing for Takeshita there. Hope he’s okay!
CM Punk really is a merchant banker
😂😂😂 From one megalomaniac to my favorite
Bang Bang Gang has arrived!
Great job on the comments, upvotes, and boosting guys. We're the second hottest thing on Kbin right now despite the issues.
I'm team Kingston on this one.
How's Carny Piece of Shit gonna (try to) fuck over OmegaMan this time?
This "match" is pure chaos!
Only thing missing is Kris randomly showing up to attack Wheeler just like old times :')
Darby terrifies me everytime I see him wrestle
Hahaha AEW being cheeky putting Punk and the Elite back to back so they have to be crossing paths backstage
Either my internet or Bleacher Report is acting up and I'm somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes behind. Gonna bow out of the live discussion to avoid spoilers.
Sorry to hear, bro. Hopefully you can get caught up somehow
I think I'm good now.
Good to hear. Hell of a show!
Juice growling and acting like a dog was hilarious. I love these guys.
This show is just nonstop bangers
Is it just me, or did Santana get HUGE?
I want Shida to retain, but I'm not holding my breath.
Same. I'm worried it's going Saraya's way.
If she can stay healthy and wrestle regularly, I’d be okay with that
She's gotta be champion at least until Jamie comes back! :(
😂😂 Eddie is the definition of its on sight
WHAT THE FUCK, MOX?!
Gross decision
Toni is kind of above both of them anyway
Yeah. And I think her new gimmick kinda calls for her to be on her own.
That awful waffle was beautiful
All four of these ladies are legit candidates to win the match. I love it!
Did anyone see what happened to Penta?
He got piledriven onto a chair, hope he's not really hurt.
It's kind of cool that Sting and Darby are pretty much undefeated
Didn't take long for the Outcasts to butt heads at all.
Time to buckle up
London loves scissoring with Julia
What a show... And now 5 adults are all scrambling home to try to get some kind of sleep before we all have to clock in at work in 4 hours. We're fucked. XD
The Brochachos live!
We're still talking wrestling, right Taz?
Mediocre match IMO
FTW match should have been on the main card. Put CM on the pre-show lol
Yeah, but the good news is things should only get better from here.
Agreed. I’m kinda glad they got the cloud of Punk out of the way early
Absolutely. It was probably the smartest thing they could do.
