AEW Saturday Collision

My only thought with the house rules is maybe it's an opportunity to boost Hart's experience?  Lots of open challenges with different match types?

 

But yeah it's more likely so they don't have to say.. book a feud or any sort of cohesive plot around the belt. Just have her hammer through all the midcarders until Willow Nightingale has lost enough momentum for it to be her turn

Yeah, one upside is that it also gives you smoke and mirrors/shortcut options rather than repeatedly exposing her in long standard singles matches. I would be open to that if they did a better job of establishing and defining it. Have the challenger each week come with a specific plan in mind and their house rule based on that. From past experience I don’t trust Tony to do that with this gimmick but I hope he proves me wrong.

Admitedly "suprise cage match" would be kinda amusing

Or actually any escalating gimmickery/plot/sense that wrestlers think about things. Try and give it a feel beyond "no dq"/"no countouts"/"no dq and no countouts"/"house of black barred from ringside despite not being allowed to get physically involved due to television regulations"

[LaGoosh]

Garcia vs Claudio and Kingston vs King were both excellent matches well worth seeking out. And there was a good amount of fun backstage promos, Big Bill being great and a brilliant Copeland/Killswitch angle. Rest of the the show was fairly forgettable but for a B-show on a dead night with all the attention elsewhere it was a perfectly acceptable episode of wrestling.

 

[LaGoosh]

This is great shit.

These two are going to throw out a late contender for Match of the Year tonight. Can't wait, it'll be beautiful.

My verdict: a draw.

Danielson’s eye is legitimately not healed and he’s going to wear an eye protector and wrestle anyway.

 He shouldn’t be anywhere near a wrestling ring and Tony Khan should take responsibility and replace him in the tournament and send him home until he’s not risking his eyesight for a fake sport.

Yeah probably. Oh well.

I think Undertaker wrestled with the same injury back in the 90s except he wore that stupid mask to protect himself.

I guess TK checked twitter recently and noticed the complaints about booking Toni Storm v. Skye Blue again this year. 4th Time on TV and 6th overall including House Shows. As well as the general criticism of the usual faces getting TV time.

I don't think anyone could have predicted Kiera Hogan v. Abadon.

Hippy

Scott Steiner & Shane Helms have all wrestled with mask protectors from orbital bone injuries as well. Not that it justified just adding that this isn't a first time precedent, as daft as it fucking is to do mind.

And Virgil.

Is it any more dangerous then when footballers wore protective glasses or safety gear. I mean Petr Cech continued to wear a helmet for the rest of his career after his skull fracture.

[Merzbow]

I think it's a little more concerning with Bryan due to his history of injuries, how he works and how he's been wreckless while hurt in the past. But I can't moralize too hard, I still adore that run which included Morishima shattering his eye..

Yes.

[LaGoosh]

Danielson's idiocy/insanity aside, this was an incredible match. An absolute selling masterclass from Kingston. They told a brilliant story and I really hope they have a third match in AEW at some point. Danielson humiliating Kingston at the end was the perfect touch.

Now we have Eddie as a wounded animal with something to prove against his biggest rival Claudio Castagnoli next week in a must win scenario? Top notch booking.
