Tourism is dead but let's shove two different groups of people from all over the US in the same hotel for no apparent reason. We get what we deserve supporting these two forms of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 When introducing the Cody vs Janela match, why did JR say Cody is the #1 contender to the AEW title? Was he just confused about the tournament final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in here to post this, definitely audible on FITE replay thought it was Jericho though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted May 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 Between Jake stepping on the poor snake's tail when he picked it up, and letting off fireworks around Pharaoh, AEW have a poor track record with live animals. Maybe they should stop doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted May 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2020 On the one hand the kid in me loves jake doing the snake thing but the current me can't believe anyone would let him near a snake. Still with the exception of him standing on on the tail it was a great segment. The main event was magic. If anything my real criticism was they seriously failed to proper hype up that match, which is weird because the the passable empty arena match was brilliantly hyped. No doubt everyone will see this match but going head to head with nxt I'm sure they could have pulled over some live viewers with proper hype. Still though that was so much fun.

Paid Members Chris B Posted May 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2020 That main event was hilarious - just enormous fun from start to finish. Omega's moonsault off the top of the platform was just fantastic. Him leaning out of the kart was hilarious too. That bump Sammy took - Jesus. This kid is such a star. Shame it's so long until we get real crowds. The pop whenever Hangman returns could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chris B Posted May 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2020 Being fined for the deathmatch is great for them. It means the next time they go to do one, they can talk about how the previous one was so wild they got a $10k fine for it. Gives them more credibility than the match itself did.

Love-Wilcox Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 On top of everything that's already been said about the street fight, Sammy ramming Kenny into the ATM and then pulling out a wad of cash was just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavemanLynn Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I expect the next Street Fight to include a comeback started by the face knocking over a bin and finding a roast chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
