RedRooster Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Is it just me, or has Rampage gone from being skippable to just plain bad? The past few weeks have been nothing short of awful viewing, which is a shame. At the very least, the wrestling used to be fun. I was expecting big things from Dustin/Claudio, but wow, that was surely Dustin’s worst ever match in AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 It's bad, even Hook's promo stank. I know he's aloof but not coming back and smacking the two guys he could obviously hear.. weak shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 They had a decent enough format. Solid opener-some simple stuff in the middle-Solid main event. They're squeezing in way too much. We've had a few 5 match cards and multiple promos/videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I noticed that a Jacksonville Rampage has been added in October. That's all the Rampages in October with their own taping. 3/4 will be live with the one in Toronto taped on a Thursday. No obvious reason for it but rumours will have it be about an ROH or AEW Women show. If it's becoming the norm it'll be a good thing for Rampage.

RedRooster Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I thought that was an excellent Rampage, even if they did cram a little too much into it. Pretty much every angle was a strong one, the opener was great, QT and Starks was fun, the FTR promo was excellent and the Jade/Athena angle was probably one of the stronger women’s angles they’ve ever done (granted, the bar is low with that one) - although, are they just going to drop Stokely from Jade’s act with no explanation? The show was a nice shot of adrenaline for a Saturday morning, which is the complete opposite of what Rampage has been in recent weeks. I hope they can keep this up.

Merzbow Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The Athena promo was bollocks, whiney shite that justified an absolute superstar looking newbie being champion over the long time wrassler. The six man was excellent, Don getting involved after has me more curious about Hangman and The Elite. Ruby gets worse... Paparazzi Productions baby, shame about Jay being a nonce like.

Infinity Land Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Darby Allin v. Sammy Guevara Claudio Castagnoli v. Dax Harwood Serena Deeb v. Madison Rayne Samoa Joe speaks Another set of Dynamite only tapings into November. Nothing yet announced for Rampage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The sex pests had a very good match, but that's a given between Darby and Sammy. Joe deserves so, so much better than this. Jade's 30 second promo was miles better than the women's match just before it, I don't get the Madison hiring at all and Deeb has just been drifting aalong. DAX and Claudio was a banger, I don't think the crowd were anywhere near as hot as they could be tho, maybe knowing that Dax wasn't wining the title.

adjarrell Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 People like Joe will benefit when ROH gets some kind of direction. At the moment, there's a thousand belts flying around for a company that doesn't really have shows dedicated to it. The draft split has been done to death in WWE and is relatively lacklustre, but with a bloated roster such as AEW/ROH, a weekly show where people like Joe can absolutely flourish would do wonders. Preferably I'd have him near the top of the card in AEW while he still has some left in the tank, but all this ROH posturing without a definitive show just feels really really flat. Its one step up from a fan carrying a belt to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I'm not a fan of it becoming ROHmpage once again. Feels like the slow prep for the next ROH PPV. Holding out hope that in October when Rampage starts getting it's own tapings that they start filming an ROH show. Honor Club is meant to be coming back in the fall. Just stick the show behind the paywall to drive subscribers to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the announce team to discuss a 2 count as a near autumn. Mostly to confuse my wife when she overhears the wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
