I don't think Skye's shoulders were on the mat during that pin. I think she might have grounds for a rematch...
They weren't even close lol
That really stood out to me. A really good match but that ending was so botched.
Jay steals one
I can see him and Swerve meeting again but idk if they would have Mox lose twice
LFG!!
Roddy can walk #NeckStrong
Speculation on who the masked men are tonight?
Wardlow is totally one of them
Wardlow and the Kingdom
Wardlow makes sense. The other name is tricky though...if it's Kingdom/Roddy/Fish or O'Reilly that would kinda giveaway that Cole is the devil.
Marko Stunt finally returns to the ring
marko and griff airing their grievances.
Skye Blue has really come out of her shell and I love it.
Definitely. 'Nice local gal/guy' as a gimmick only goes so far for a lot of people, the change has done her a lot of good just like Julia.
Whoa, does this mean the Von Erich's are joining AEW?
I'm guessing a one off or a short program to promote the movie.
That'd make sense.
lets go jay <3
My money's also on Jay. It's a longshot but I think he takes it!
Wtf is going on
I guess this means no MJF/Joe match...
honestly roderick is an inspiration to the world. what a miracle. <3
He's even nice enough to warn SAMOA joe about MJF
Noooo I know Mama Wayne isn't out here
Everybody is hot for daddy these days
The only thing that would've made it worse is if she and Christian made out in the ring lol
No, he could do his own take on the rated R live sex sessions with her call it an attempt and father-ing a new child. Giving Nick Wayne the brother he deserves. That would be worse.
I honestly thought they were going to take it there
So did I lol. They would've got nuclear heat.
Joe putting his property in check
Lot of passive aggressiveness there
I'm stretching a bit, but that was basically a recreation of All In backstage
Like two prisoners fighting over their prison bitch lol
I don't think that's how you get STD's, Max.
I thought the same, but he/they probably didn't want (him) to say "AIDS". It could have come off as super racist.
Are they saying "boooo" or "Ruuuush?" 😂
RUUUUUUUUSH
RUUUUUUUUSH
RUUUUUUUUSH
I'm happy Roddy can walk again but I really don't think his wheelchair deserved that.
It supported him when he was at his lowest
RIHO!
R I H O !
Love the "Timeless Toni" chant. I think that's the first time I've heard it.
Ben Mankiewicz skipped the "tits out" part. The coward.
I noticed that too. It would've been great with his professional delivery.
Disappoint.
Everything about Toni is sooo extra
And it's the BEST.
The crowds become unhinged for this match! It's awesome.
Adam Copeland is an unhinged psychopath
RIHO!!!
RIHO!!!
Weird that the comment count isn't updating but whatever.
Wtf man Christian is so reprehensible
Bryce ain't shit for that slow ass count
Mox vs Rush should be fun
For sure. I wonder what the over/under is on Mox bleeding lol
I thought we moved on to how much as the default bet
Put me down for .74 Muta.
He's gonna go light because it's basic cable.
lmao I don't know but in a hockey town he should definitely blade 😂
Lutha almost played the part of his old pal Serpentico there the way he helped Toni
This crowd is having waaaay too much fun over the fact they're both named Jay lol
Is it just me, or is Adam Copeland starting to look like James Hetfield?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfx9IX-TH-4 Again!
adam cole why?
Shit, don't even fucking play like that I was a couple of minutes behind and you damn near gave me a heart attack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfx9IX-TH-4
I thought Briscoe had it there.
RIHO!!!!!
So nice it's worth saying twice!
Mox really choked out the bull
Tough to say who'll take this. I'm thinking Christian via interference but man is it close...
Are you implying the Patriarch of AEW would win by nefarious means?
I hate it but yes.
ben was the only thing about tyt that i liked. :)
I'm thinking Swerve wins
I'm a shameless Jay mark
If he loses I'm gonna be pissed
😭Roddy has arrived, he's such an inspiration
I'm a little disappointed that most of the CC match winners have been predictable. There's missed opportunities at some upsets there. Especially given that it's a point-based, round robin tournament.
Don't fuckin' bury me...
but Timeless Toni Storm is just not clicking with me. I certainly understand the gimmick, and can appreciate it, but I'm just not enjoying it. It probably doesn't help that it seems like she has been involved (at least tangentially) in every women's division storyline on tv for the past year. I don't want Toni Storm to become AEW's Charlotte Flair.
Welcome back, RIHO!
The main event was everything I wanted out of Edge v Christian, at least until the finish. Wrestling is dumb, and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here. (Probably a rematch at a ppv)
Sidenote: I'm getting error messages when I try to boost comments. You'll just have to get updoots for now.
I agree about the CC being predictable. The only one I wasn't sure about was Swerve/Switchblade. I've noticed a lot of roll-up victories too which I'm not crazy about.
On Toni: I love the character but I'm still not sure she should be champ. I wanted to see more of a downward spiral from her...
Overall I thought the show was solid. But I'm annoyed we didn't get that MJF/Joe tag match and I'm disappointed there were no in-ring promos. The crowd was pretty hot and I would've loved to hear their reaction to an MJF, Hangman, Kingston, hell pretty-much-anyone live promo.
Kbin/the fediverse was behaving weird yesterday. The comment count (and even comments themselves, I think?) wasn't updating last night which made it a pain in the ass to follow along. At least for me.
I'd probably enjoy Toni a lot more if she wasn't champ. It just leans a lot harder into the whole "one match division" thing. "Oh, your character is suddenly interesting now? TITLE PICTURE!" A storyline involving women can be interesting even if there isn't a championship involved. Unless it's in AEW, apparently.
I really don't know if it's TK's booking or if it's the network, but I'm tired of the ability to watch most of the women signed to AEW being locked behind a $9.99/mo pay wall. And if the current situation with RoH's next ppv is anything to go on, that might not be an option for much longer.
Rant over. 😅
HARD agree. A great gimmick doesn't need a belt; It draws people in on its own.
And Tony's booking is just so weird when it comes to women. Remember the Outcasts versus Britt/AEW OG's story? That could've been pretty interesting but nope! It was dropped pretty fucking quickly with almost no resolution. It wouldn't have been the best story ever but at least it's a storyline that would've allowed them to feature more women regularly. Maybe even led to a women's Blood & Guts match. But nope. The whole thing just seemed to vanish.
I agree but Devils advocate, I think a good portion of the women's division has been out for various reasons.
Nyla, Marina, and Taya may be the only available women that haven't had matches recently
Britt had the back injury and Cole
Hayter is injured
Red Velvet just recently returned
Riho just recently returned
Deeb has been out injured
Statlander returned and replaced Jade
I guess we could've had more Mercerdes, Diamante and Kiera
We still have some time, I do think Briscoe should've beaten Swerve fresh off of a Texas Death Match and Garcia is definitely going to spoil someone's run.
I kind of get the Toni thing, but she's so insane and committed that I'm just happy to be along for the ride. I do feel like the Toni to Shida to Saraya to Shida to Toni thing was all audible after Hayter went down. It's make more sense for Hayter to have retained at Wembley causing the Timeless Toni split and Outcasts soft breakup.
She probably shouldn't have won it back so soon but Saraya was British fan service and I like Shida but Toni is just more entertaining
It got Ben Mankiewicz on a wrestling show, which I never thought I'd see, so that alone makes it worth it.
