Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 7, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2021 It was a solid show. Eddie & Miro was a fun brawl. There's also something there to let them do a rematch if they wanted to. Moxley & Kojima was good. I marked out when MiSu turned up. That'll be fun to watch on Dynamite. There were a few dull moments early on in the Battle Royal, but it happens in those kinds of matches sometimes. I can't see Ruby beating Britt, but it'll be a decent match. I'd like to see her against Thunder Rosa in a proper match. The cage match was a heck of a spectacle, but not the kind of wrestling i tend to enjoy. I enjoyed Punk & Darby. Wight Vs Marshall was what it was. Presumably he'll go after Billy Gunn and his clones next. MJF with the bait and switch entrance was fun. I understood the whole thing with his back injury during the match, but is he now the only person Jericho has beaten without needing to use the Judas Effect? Does it not make him look a bit weak? The title match was alright, but I just never thought Christian had a chance of winning it. Them pivoting from what we thought was Page's big moment to this was a let down. Danielson Vs Cole at Full Gear? It was a loaded finish to the show, but as was mentioned elsewhere that's a LOT of ex WWE guys. It could be good if it doesn't turn into late 90s WCW. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Jim Bob Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I certainly think Punk was on the wind up with his comments but he took the right time to take that potshot. That was an incredible PPV and a definite statement of intent from AEW. Â Vince can not care and ignore them all he wants but I'm sure there is alot of people behind the scenes running the WWE atm, getting increasingly nervous about AEW. Its obvious most of their talent would happily jump there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way MJF screamed after landing off the top rope clutching his back, I thought he’d properly injured it. They set it up so when the hold was locked in, he had to tap, but not because he was giving up, if that made sense. It was tap or risk permanent damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Might have been seeing things bit it looked like Jericho tried for a full on Lion Tamer but changed his mind or was unable to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 7, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2021 If he'd gone for a lion tamer it would have been a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 7, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2021 It’s not a match I’d even considered before, but watching Danielson and Nick Jackson get physical? That’s got the potential to be the greatest TV match of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just stuck the show on to watch for a second time. I honestly don’t think I’ve gone back to a PPV to watch it again in consecutive days since 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukhy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I've watched the end segment of the show 4 times already, made my missus watch the cage match as well, she was also marking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winners doing a Bret Hart tribute match whilst Triple H and HBK’s territory dies a sad, humiliating death? Beautiful. Bret should re-release his book with an extra chapter covering this.  I'm sure that's exactly what they thought too.. not that they would go out and put on a great match it was all about bret getting one over on Shawn somehow.. your point is bordering on ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted September 7, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2021 I've only dipped my toe into AEW a few times, but I've watched that end segment from All Out about 5 times. Its just perfect. Bringing out Cole was a nice surprise but I'm sure a few felt dissapointed it wasn't BD, only to lose their shit moments later. Turning Cole and having him side with the Elite and having Danielson as the babyface to challenge them took nothing away from either guys debut and made everyone look big time in the process. Wonderful stuff. I have faith that despite the shiny new toys, Hangman will still be the one to take the belt off Omega. AEW seems to want to do things right, so I can't see them tossing Woody to the side because Buzzlight year showed up.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 7, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2021 If you look closely, just before the finish, CM Punk even mouths the words, “Hunter and Shawn weren’t even on Simpsons.” Another victory for the Hitman.

Factotum Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I know people keep saying about 'not too many WWE guys' but the way they use guys who were there have been absolutely perfect. The total opposite of TNA syndrome No doubt we're gonna get Punk/Danielson V The Young Bucks at some point and I cannot fucking wait.
