no user name Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Unfortunately I couldn't watch dynasty as I thought I would be able to order it today and I couldn't. I did see the osprey v Danielson match though. Wow. I've always thought the young bucks v omega and hangman page was the best aew match I have seen but not anymore. I actually can't think of a match I have liked more than that ever. In my opinion osprey is the perfect wrestler. Athletic, great in the air, love his promos can get the crowd so exited. Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no user name Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 As for the injury it does seem it was a work. There is a video of osprey helping Danielson to walk in the back. That wouldn't happen if it was a real injury. Osprey is a face and it's a way to get him checked out of the Don Callis family for showing sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It's a shame AEW is running more PPVs on a Sunday than it once did, I'd love to have ordered this one, but finding the time to watch it was always going to be a problem. Sounds like it was a good show, Jericho aside. If Hook really is leaving, sucking the life and momentum out of him in a way that gives Tony Khan plausible deniability would be an act of evil genius from the guy; so in the unlikely chance that's what's happening here, well done, Tony. It's nice to see Willow win a title, although it's really strange to see Mercedes going after the secondary belt instead of Toni Storm. I know that not everyone enjoys Toni as champion, but I bloody love her. She's one of the best characters in wrestling, and I don't think the gimmick brings down the title in any way. That said, I've no idea who you have beat her, if Willow and Mercedes are wrapped up in other things. Maybe it's time to bring Athena back to the main roster, and have her target Storm. I did watch the six man tag, and I'm utterly perplexed as to why Billy Gunn is being made to look as strong as he is. This deserves almost as much derision as the Jericho stuff - it's utterly insane that he's being booked the way that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Rewatched the match and it's just excellent and perfectly built. The mad thing is they probably have more to do when they go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe wrap them both in cotton wool until all in Edited April 22 by no user name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 22 Paid Members Share Posted April 22 @RedRooster How did you get to watch Wrestlemania night 2 so quickly? Although I agree I would rather more PPV's on a Saturday I guess having a weekly TV show scheduled makes it more difficult to do so. Only watched a few matches before I fell asleep and got woken by Ospreay's pop as he made his entrance. I am saving that match until later tonight. But I m so glad Willow won. Julia has come on leaps and bounds in the last 18 months, but Willow has such great energy that I am glad she has won it. Bucks/FTR I thought was really good. Loved the little call backs to previous matches (like when Cash was reckless diving into an empty table, similar to when he went for a 450 and missed which lost them the titles before). But I especially enjoyed the returning Jack Perry. The way security came rushing into the ring gave it a sense of realism you don't get in these angles normally. A small but important touch. Swerve's Black Panther inspired entrance was great. Joe has been a great champion, and I have really enjoyed his reign, but Swerve has made his own ascension in the last 6-12 months and it's been great to see. I am really looking forward to what they do with him going forward. Only the 8th world champion in almost 5 years of exsistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 22 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 22 (edited) I’m off today so got to spend my morning watching. I really liked PAC vs. Okada and could have happily watched them do another 20 minutes. Happy Willow won, would have been fine with them having a not-so-short match. Mercedes is losing me each time she appears, hopefully by the time she has a match she’ll show why she’s a good signing. I’m very ready for The Sabbatical Of Jericho. Danielson vs. Ospreay was incredible. Impossible to follow that. I didn’t love the ending and that did take some of the shine off, but right up to the shaky neck injury it had all the stars from me. What a match. Swerve is champ! Found it hard to focus on the match after Danielson-Ospreay but this is a good move and excited to see where they go next. Edited April 22 by HarmonicGenerator Did I say enough nice things about Danielson-Ospreay? It was excellent. Crowd great too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was - by pure coincidence, I hadn't planned this - on annual leave, so that made it pretty straightforward. I'd have been in the same position had I not been, though. If I wasn't a dad, I'd have been able to watch Dynasty later in the day - but childcare takes priority, as you can imagine!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my usual try and watch some live then watch the rest tomorrow, but fell asleep about 90 minutes in, so will catch up with the rest tonight/commute home if the wifi isn't awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm lucky, I'll be able to do all of that without her stealing and throwing my glasses and/or phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Lads, this is all very wholesome, but can we all discuss the way Danielson and Ospreay summoned goosebumps by backing into opposing corners towards the end of the match, realising they had nothing left in their respective lockers and just had to throw themselves at each other in a winner takes all, fuck-it-lets-go, finishing move battle to the death. It was as close as a wrestling match has ever got to a blockbuster movie. The two main characters, drawing their lightsabres or whatever (I'm not strong on Star Wars, sorry) and just going into battle one last time either for glorious victory or noble death. Amazing.

DCW Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Bryan/Osperay was excellent, even with the slightly duff finish. Enjoyed Pac/Okada and the main event did what needed to be done to keep Strickland moving forward. As not a regular watcher of AEW, why was Jericho in his auld ECW getup? he's AEW's version of Xpac in 2001 in any event anyway. Really should head off on an extended world Fozzy tour for a while at this stage. Edited April 22 by DCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that it's just because it was an FTW title match, a belt created in ECW. He really needs to just go away for a while and stop with the lazy attempts at cheap pops. More importantly, he needs to be very careful with how he returns after a break or else it will achieve nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to Jericho’s attire, a few times during his run his reverted to a different gimmick (like the Painmaker), Lionheart Chris Jericho is one such gimmick and he’s be doing it for the last few months, even coming out to different music and Tron. Why? Because it’s Jericho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
