Chili Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 6 minutes ago, WyattSheepMask said: They did have a 3-Way between Darby, Joey Janella and Jimmy Havoc on one of the early PPV’s, I want to say it was at the first All Out. Stadium Stampede 2 doesn’t seem to have got the reaction they were hoping for on social media, but they’ve got 2 more weeks of TV to get people into it. It shouldn’t be an annual thing though, that’s why things like Hell in a Cell don’t mean anything anymore. Do it when the feud calls for it rather than just because you did it this time last year. Personally I think a gimmick match between Jericho and MJF would be a better way to go, but perhaps they’re saving that until what PPV comes in August or September (or maybe even on TV at Fytr Fest if they end up doing that again).  I figured they were doing the Casino Ladder Match instead of the Battle Royal again so I marked The Hardy Family Office and Dark Order for the Stampede match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2021 Stadium Stampede 2 feels way too early and Jericho returned too early. I was hoping for MJF vs Sammy at Double or Nothing. Also not sure why they are having a huge match that won't take place in front of a crowd at their first full capacity show. They should have gone with MJF/Sammy at DoN and had Jericho return there to help Sammy defeat MJF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavigatorFan Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Looks like Orange Cassidy was OK after the show so hopefully hasn't got a concussion. According to twitter it seems the original plan was for them to go to time limit and then the 3 way be announced. Explains the strange ending which was pretty creative to come up with on the fly and still get them to where they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyjokerz Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Decent show this week, but way too much going on and hard to keep track! Are they all doing Coke when booking this show?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Stadium Stampede again disappoints me largely because not only was the first so good that I find it hard to imagine them doing anything which doesn't seem a let down in comparison but also it immediately gives me the fear that Blood & Guts will be an annual event too. I know wrestling is a big fake dance but having feuds which climax in perfect timing with annual themed PPV's is just so fucking ridiculous. War Games and HIAC are things that have lost so much impact being wheeled out every year in WWE with whoever they can shoe horn into them being involved and I really hoped AEW were going to avoid that.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2021 Other than the initial house show run, War Games was a once a year gimmick anyway, first at Wrestle War and then at Fall Brawl.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I saw some AEW toys in the wild earlier, The Entertainer had a Jericho and two Orange Cassidy figures and I was tempted to get one but the boxes were tatty as fuck.. They had a ring and foam belt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Most Smyths toy stores have them, my local in Linwood just outside Glasgow had multiple of everyone when I was there at the weekend. Edited May 14, 2021 by Jonny Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Eddie Kingston is just perfect as Moxely's partner/hype man and is great even when just shouting behind Moxely as they walk to the ring. Moxely is the complete package imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted May 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2021 That was an absolutely cracking episode. The worst I could say about it is that I'd have liked a few things to breathe a bit more, and some more from women wrestlers. But other than that, it was a reminder that so much happening in a show back in the attitude era was so much fun. I couldn't have a show like that every week, but it was fun this time. Highlights were the opener (which was just really, really good fun), the tag match (poor Daniels - that looked grim, but the payoff was great, and Matt Jackson acting like a dickhead while covered in his blood was amazing), Orange/Pac (even with the injury and the improvising), and the main event. A ridiculously over-booked two hours, but a lot of fun because of it.
