Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 11, 2021 Awards Moderator Posted November 11, 2021 Highlights of this show - PAC and Dax having an excellent match, Jungle Boy having a good little beard growing, the closing segment which I enjoyed because I didn’t see the twist coming, and had actually been thinking it was a shame Callis wasn’t with Kenny any longer when Kenny made his entrance. Rest of the show felt a bit lacklustre, seemed a lot of ‘match finishes, heels run in to beat up face, face’s friends run in and see them off’. Must have happened three or four times last night. Still hyped for Full Gear though. And just read that Kingston article. Fantastic stuff.
The King Of Swing Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 I'm sure the CHAOS stuff is just AEW throwing New Japan a bone. Dan Lambert is fucking tremendous. It's called a Boston Crab. Before info dropping a wrestling show from the 70's.
Paid Members Supremo Posted November 11, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2021 Anyone else hoping someone from the Inner Circle turns heel, resulting in them breaking up? The last few times they’ve teased a break up or made it a potential match stipulation I’ve hoped they’d stay together, but that ship has long since sailed. They’ve completely jumped the shark and Sammy, Santana and Ortiz now feel held back by remaining in the group and being associated with Jericho. They’re lucky Lambert always gets the heel heat he does because anyone else would be top babyface after interrupting them last night and saving us from another tired, outdated promo filled with five men ripping into one woman and/or making gay jokes like it’s 1989.

Yeah. I'm like 80% sure Hager is going to turn on them.
The King Of Swing Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Cody running in through the crowd while the Lucha Bros ran in from the entrance got a smirk out of me. Even a run in for a feud he's involved in feels separate from everyone now. Cody has to be trolling at this point.

I feel like Sammy has to turn at some point. Story wise it would be a really interesting feud and just from a performance standpoint Sammy is incredibly unlikeable as a babyface. When Jericho saw Sammy for the first time just before AEW started he said "he's a great wrestler but why is he a babyface? He looks like a complete asshole" and he was 100% spot on.
The King Of Swing Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 If there's a heel turn I'm leaning towards Sammy as well. No one is giving a shit about Hager Vs. Jericho even with AEW's solid track record.
Guest Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 I was searching back the old ppvs earlier to find a match, and found Hager vs Dustin Rhodes on a card. That would barely get on Dark elevation now never mind a ppv now the roster has expanded so well.
Paid Members Lenin Posted November 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 12, 2021 I wasn't thrilled with the contract signing. I think it was very "WWE" levels of trying too hard to generate some buzz when everyone's already at fever pitch. It all felt a bit unnecessary and the presence of Don Callis? Big nope. The best storyline in years does not need a blade job or Don Callis to get over. Second week in a row Hangman's mic work was a bit flat so I'm really hoping they deliver a classic on Saturday. Hard to believe that two years has flown in since staying up to see Jericho crowned the first AEW champion.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 12, 2021 Don Callis having a fake moustache on under his facemask and acting like taking the fake moustache off was The Big Reveal was hilarious top notch heel goodness.

That's true, but Hager is just as shit a babyface as Sammy, so would benefit from a heel turn, and would be a far better fit with American Top Team than Sammy if that's the route they're going. Though saying that, the presence of American Top Team - which has some actual name MMA fighters on-board - really wipes out whatever credibility Hager's Bellator career brings to the table, so he's surplus to requirements in general, really.
Infinity Land Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 I don't want a Hager heel turn because i'm not sure you need ATT hanging around. With Fozzy finally going on their at the end of the month, Hager and Jericho can just disappear for a bit. Leaving Sammy and PnP to do their own thing again.
simonworden Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Surely this ppv is it for ATT? Feels like they are done for a while after this. MOTY could have Sammy join them or Hager as a bodyguard and then feud with p&p possibly. Sami seems better to fit with them and await a Jericho return for a feud that I'm certain will happen eventually. Speaking of MOTY I realised we also have Leo Rush as man of the hour. Admittedly WWE/ Vince are mental not allowing two surnames or even first names be remotely similar but having two men/man of the.. teams seems a little too much. Oh and was FTRs music always so retro 70s Miami vice like?

It's a reference to this. Personally I bloody love it. Hell of a theme, both versions. The original is based on a Georgio Moroder theme for the film of the same name.
