Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 27, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Jericho's attempt at running to the ring was hilariously sad. Hopefully he's fucking off on tour sooner rather than later. Kingston/Garcia was great. Garcia being this good at 22...he's definitely one to watch. Kingston is one of the few guys around whose unique style perfectly fits his character. He grew up on the streets but loved watching Japanese wrestling at home so as an adult he wrestles in a perfect mix of street fighting brawling and the strikes/moves of all his childhood heroes. Love it. Edited November 27, 2021 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Only positive I can see is that with any luck, Eddie can keep up his good friend run and Jericho ends up getting the help he needs when their runs over as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherCrapUsername Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Has Jericho ever had time off for any surgery related to wrestling? I can't recall a time when that's been the case. Whilst physically he's a shadow of himself, his body must be absolutely screaming at him to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 27, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2021 Is this the first time AEW have gone for that WWE trope we all hate where you have to beat the champion to get a chance to beat the champion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be something you know the champ will lose. Because of that, I thought Britt would win here which made it a mild surprise. Jericho was really good in that opening match. His best stuff on commentary for ages. Agree he then looked crap at the end. Milking a pop that wasn't coming didn't help either. Having made it so obvious that Jericho would run in, Mox coming out instead would have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure where they’re going with this outside of the tag match, if anywhere, but I quite like the idea of a Kingston/Jericho feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) They've also had Sydal v. Omega which was billed as an Eliminator match. I can't think of any other specific examples and its hard to find since that's been the name of the tournaments they've ran. There might have been at least one tag one for instance. It's something they throw out on occasion to spice up a singles match with a champion and someone else not seen as deserving a title shot. Riho might have been the first one to win. ____________Edit to add___________________ according to Cagematch World Title Eliminators: Omega (c) beat Sydal Women's World Title: Riho beat Baker (c) Shida (c) beat Reba/Rebel World Tag Titles: Kingston & Penta beat the Young Bucks (c) Young Bucks (c) beat the Sydals  Edited November 27, 2021 by Infinity Land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's touring Europe most of December. It'll be good to get a break from him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it would’ve made a bit more sense having her go against Hayter, who was responsible for Riho’s “elimination” but otherwise I don’t have a problem with it.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 27, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 That was probably the best episode of Rampage. That opening tag match was great stuff. Everyone got there bits in, Yuta looked good in it and it just had a nice pace. Never got into Rhio. She is so danty compared to everyone else, but it was another good match with a nice update win. Love Garcia and Kingston, again another good back and forth where, even though he lost again, Garcia doesn’t look a loser.  The Jericho run in was pants though.

Guest Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Bit of a fantasy booking run, but thinking if Eddie took out Jericho for jerichos tour, it could set some interesting things up while he’s away. You could have Eddie take the TNT title, going after Sammys ribs. Put tension with Santana and Ortiz if he calls back their history. Just a random Sunday thought, but it’d be good to have him have something to get deep into since all the great work with Punk just ground to a halt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
