@puppetmaster Where are you seated brother? Rafters ?

Floor. Opposite of hard cam. Rafters were reserved unfortunately

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Sting vs Darby really should have been a thing. But I'll let them cook

I'm not even surprised. You going to record the whole event?

AEW needs to do three things and they’ll have a true sell out of the second largest arena in the US

1. Go with a small stage setup
2. Open up every seat possible even if it’s limited view
3. Add Mercedes Mone to the card

TK needs to grow some balls and go ahead with a minimal stage here

It's Sting's "Last Match" that should sell all they need.

Sting is set to retire after almost 40 years since his debut.

The legendary performer is planned for the Greensboro AEW Revolution show, a city in which he’s performed in many times. Many had questions as to who his opponent will be, and how it would be selected.

Fightful has learned that Sting has had a major say in who his opponent or opponents will be. We’ve heard that he’s been more keen on continuing to do tag team matches as opposed to a singles match, as he’s indicated in the past. The Young Bucks appeared on AEW Dynamite at the end of the January 10 show, hinting that it could be them. As of several weeks ago, that was actively the plan, and one that Sting was on board with.

We’re told that Sting getting the right send off has been a very important thing for Tony Khan. We’re told that pretty well whatever Sting wants en route to his send off, the company has been willing to make happen.

It should go without saying, but in case you’re wondering, we’re told Ric Flair hasn’t been considered for any in-ring performing, but has been actively pushing to do more physical spots.

Young Bucks have long been planned for a shift in presentation, as highlighted by those mustaches on Wednesday.

So we’re six weeks out now and looking at a likely card of…

• Sting and Darby vs. the Young Bucks, possibly for the tag titles
• Samoa Joe vs. Swerve vs. Hangman for the AEW title
• Toni Storm vs Deonna Purrazzo for the women’s title
• Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong for the international title
• Kingston vs. Danielson
• Christian vs. Copeland for the TNT title
• Ospreay vs. TBD

Think we’ll also see BCG vs. the Acclaimed for a title unification match but that’s merely 100% speculation.

I’m sure there will be a TBS title match in there but not don’t know where they are headed with that.

What are we thinking happens with the triple threat match? Swerve is the hottest act in the company but they aren’t gonna have Joe drop that quick are they?
