AEW London 2023

Last week: "Oh no, it's going to be a meaningless house show. This'll be pointless."

This week: "Okay, so it might have the hottest storyline that they've built up for the last month, but it might not also have all the biggest matches AEW can possibly put on. This'll be pointless."

[Merzbow]

Why wouldn't anyone want the companies biggest show to have every major storyline on it, especially if you're paying to go? It's like some people want it to be a house show, maybe a weird British mentality.

Watched Dynamite with the kids. They cheered when the All In match was announced. It's exactly the match they wanted to be witness to. Can't wait.

WWE don't leave their biggest matches off Wrestlemania so they can save them for Backlash. 

Except Foley Vs Orton.

Originally planned for Wrestlemania, then The Rock became available and any match with The Rock in is going to be bigger than Foley vs Orton.

Big fan of The Rock, but I beg to differ:

This match wasn't advertised (for good reason)

Ah, the match that cost me my credibility forever.

Watched this today, absolute banger. Though, my favourite bit is when Orton takes far too heavy a thumbtack bump and ends up with them in his elbow, forearm and hand… they literally just walk up the ramp, out the back, disappear for 2 minutes and when they come back his arm and hand are clear of tacks.

Just a proper ‘nope, not for me that’ moment.

Sorry, as you were…

They mentioned on Rampage that PAC is out injured again. I hope that stupid match with Gravity hasn’t resulted in him missing Wembley.

[Michael_3165]

Shame about PAC. Danielson has been confirmed as nowhere near ready post surgery. 

[Infinity Land]

Sucks for him. From the selfish fan pov, doesn't feel like much of a miss other than the loss of a great performer. I haven't a clue what he'd have been doing, as it's not like there's been an obvious storyline for him that would have led to the show.

Couldn’t agree with this more.

An arbitrary name vs name main event would have been/would be shite if it didn’t mean anything.

The main event is a match of genuine consequence to the television shows, and features the best storyline in the company currently. I’m thrilled.

This house show talk, or ‘just do good matches’ stuff is fine… but it’s their biggest show ever, quite possibly the biggest show ever, they have to have stuff on there that matters.

Minor Rampage spoilers

Spoiler

It's a glorified BTE bit backstage with the Young Bucks stating their focus on the Tag Division from now on, and the Hardys just happen to be there to set up a match for this week's Dynamite.

Feels like Bucks v. FTR III is on the cards as rumoured.
