Kamaras-Tash Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Fuck me I thought Twitter booking was bad but to read on here to just do a bait and switch quick countout in the MJF match blows my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Yeah, AEW is only going to get worse for me for a month after the PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Honestly I'd be fine with Okada or Tanahashi showing up. It's Osprey that I'm dreading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Yeah, New Japan wasn’t what I had in mind. I know they’re obviously going to be featured over the next month, but I just feel like this show needs something for AEW to focus on over the remainder of the year. I just don’t feel as though 12 matches of “someone wins” is enough, we need something to get our teeth into. I’ve no idea who a debuting star could be, but thinking back to Moxley turning up at the first DoN, that felt like (for lack of a better term) a moment. This show feels like it needs something like that, and if it’s not a big new debut, it needs to be a big angle. And it better not be The Fiend, just saying Edited May 28, 2022 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Or some Bullet Club nonsense, I love Jay White but the rest of the group are losers and they're no doubt coming in. Is there any change Omega has been working us and he's far closer to being match fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy for them to use him as long as he's against Trent and it ends with Sue getting a new van and Osprey being told to fuck off.

The build has been poor, with a good handful of matches ones I don't want to watch. The threat of a 13 match card also getting stretched even further might even stop me staying up for it too. Wardlow vs MJF should be cracking and I'm really hoping it's the start of big things for Wardlow. Punk vs Hangman hasn't been entirely awful build-wise but certainly not up to the standards you would expect from AEW or for Punk having a title shot. Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay should be ok, if a little pointless, and Anarchy in the Arena has a lot of potential based on previous tag brawls they've done. Why Hookhausen vs Nese and Sterling is on the pre-show is beyond me but it could be a laugh. The rest of the card though, fucking hell. Kyle O'Reilly vs Darby getting shot on to an already 12 match card is a joke. The absolute plummet Darby's stock has done the last few months is astounding. I think being branded as "the next Jeff Hardy" all this time and then seeing the absolute state of Jeff Hardy now has made people second guess if it's a good idea. Kyle O'Reilly shouldn't have even been hired. The House of Black vs Death Triangle has been going on forever and has very rarely been interesting. The most interesting thing has been HoB and Julia Hart which now seems to just be over? Death Triangle need to split up real soon because as singles stars the three of them could really be going places but together they're stagnant. American Top Team and everyone involved in this match can get lost. Awful from start to finish, you really worry this might be the very first big crack in Tony Khan booking that will unravel from here. The Hardys vs The Bucks has some potential purely for the fact The Bucks might be able to to drag something out of them, but wow The Hardys need to go. Matt was doing bad enough on his own but somehow with Jeff and their proper music they've got worse. I really hope they didn't sign Jeff to a long term deal, he's beat. Jurassic Express vs Team Taz vs Keith Lee and Swerve could have some decent spots but I'd prefer it was JE vs Team Taz. That big fat plancha poor Powerhouse had to take off Keith Lee was awful. Swerve could go places alone but the shine is well and truly off Keith at this point. Wardlow, Hobbs and Luchasaurus are more interesting big guys, and he doesn't have the speed anymore. Britt Baker vs Ruby Soho is going to be a wreck because neither of them are any good and Ruby certainly doesn't have the talent or star power to carry DMD to anything special. Samoa Joe vs Adam Cole could be good quality wise but I'd be happy if I never saw Adam Cole again in my life. He's a catchphrase with two of the worst finishers in the company. Thunder Rosa vs Serena Deeb could be OK but poor Thunder Rosa has been a dreadful champion and Serena Deeb has promo'd herself onto the shitlist since the Shida feud. Not even bothering to learn a single sports team and instead saying "all of your sports teams" is a type of lazy you just can't write. Tony Khan at this point must only be hording talent for the big TV talks coming up and then after he can do what he;s done with the people he's fired so far and just slyly and arrogantly bin them off without any explanation and then ghost them. Nothing to do with your writing but even trying to read through all the matches mentioned burned me out so I stand no chance of getting through the ppv in less than 2 sittings.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 29, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2022 Wardlow vs MJF might be off. Looks like MJF might be pulling a Naomi/Sasha Banks and walking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it ‘watch it live or you don’t see it’? Even before the Network I remember Sky Box Office replayed the WWE shows a couple of times a day over the following week. Yeah if you buy on Fite you can watch it whenever and also you buy it so it’s always in your account to watch again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest is he no-showed the meet&greet and skipped the flight out of Vegas. Rumours are he's been seen in a casino and is physically fine but the match is looking doubtful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
