Chili Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Old man Arn is great. I know gun references freak people, but lots of other shows have it and while a tad extreme, coming out of Arn's voice it sounded less jarring and more 'well, would you fuck with him really'. Bout time Double A landed one. The idea that Cody is soft of his wrestling career but still thinks he can long promo another match with Black is good. In a way, Black is living rent free. All for Sammy winning. Miro's run was not about feuds, but about being a scary dominant champion. I loved the finish, Sammy refusing to die and Miro going full movie monster at the end, ripping off the pads while angry but wounded enough to sort of panic. The finish sequence was like watching the health bar of a boss get depleted. Darby taking a deep breath as MJF says the worst schoolyard abuse he can think of, only to have it no sold and MJF's backs off like an embarrassed bully. Lovely stuff. That feud should really be something special. The big Dark Order tag started looking a mess but by the end just became a great spot. Everyone in the DO has really delivered and I love the theme of older veterans and the younger lads falling out over their mates instructions. We didn't get Hangman but having -1 & THE EXALTED MOM turn up to hand out bollockings was great. John Silvers big mad combo at the end. God he's lovely.

Its almost like its filmed out of order and those comments should be made before they made up and got back together Did you miss the part of the match where Alex accidentally hit Uno and they stormed up the ramp? The dissent in the group has been played up for weeks across the various shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69MeDon Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 That show was...weird. Some good matches and stuff but MJF talking about Bruce fucking Pritchard was weird, the commentary seemed weird, stuff like that. I really don't need to hear quite so many references to the other company. There were a few during this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 30, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2021 JR sounded like he got really into the main event this week, which was lovely to hear. Adam Cole’s kept his “shocked they kicked out” face from those interminable NXT matches, but other than that I enjoyed the match with Jungle Boy very much. JB’s getting better and better the more he interacts with the veterans and upper card types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Nice to see such a young lad drag Adam Cole to a great match, but jokes aside that show was a really good way of pushing "The Four Pillars" (Misawa is rolling elbowing in his grave) of AEW. I'm 50/50 on MJF's cheap-heat promos but this one stuck, can't wait to see him eventually murdered with a Coffin Drop in some mental way. I'm not sure about the presentation of CM Punk.. I'll wait it out but there is that scent of him being watered down too much too soon. I dunno. Edited September 30, 2021 by Merzbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Surely Hangman is a surprise return to win the ladder match next week? It seems set up for him to jump back to the top ready for the PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Found it brilliant that after all the speculation and theories that Wyatt would debut or Hangman would come back to bring peace and order to Dark Order and in the end it was Brodie's wife who had the final say in talking sense into Uno, Colt and Stu to get back and help the rest of the team, also the throwback of Neg 1 doing his dad's paper throwing bit from BTE and Uno selling it was *chef's kiss* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its lovely having him back but he definitely needs tweaking to work as a medium-to-long term character eh? I think they'll have a few goes at landing on a babyface character but sooner or later we're going to get Punk as sellout heel. It just makes too much sense for them to never go to that well.

AshC Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I enjoyed it overall, but the kickouts from the Canadian Destroyer and the Verterbreaker took me out of it. If those aren't a finish, what could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 When was the last time a destroyer or verterbreaker even finished a match? Reminds me of ECW killing the DDT and even that occasionally was still the finish, though usually it took about half a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted October 1, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2021 According to news sources (and no surprise at all really), but Tony Khan has taken total control of creative now and the EVP's are no longer involved. I think that's been obvious there has been a shift with the quality they have been putting out consistently of late. Apparently, Cody was the only person who used to turn up to the creative meetings, which would also explain his stuff feeling like its in a vacuum compared to others. Between AEW, Fulham and whatever he does with the Jaguars, Tony is on his way to not sleeping for 6 days and getting 24 hours in one stint. God help him if someone sneezes near him.
