Thought I'd give this a go.

It was fukking GREAT.:blessed:

They could've done with more storyline all round, but all the talent showed out and the crowd were live almost all night.

JR sounds a bit washed. :mjcry:

When eBay Bayley came out in the first women's match I was a bit worried :hhh: but Harajuku Bayley showed out in the Joshi match.:takedat:

Dustin went HARD.:ehh::blessed:

Cody smashing the throne.:mjlol: How he hit that shyt once with one big swing like it was one of those fairground test of strength machines. Kinda fire still, I'm not going to lie.

Jericho/Omega was good - not seen much of the Meltzer darling Omega matches so was good to see him in the main event.

Bret cheesing with the belt was something.:russ:


Also, PENTAGON. I want Pentagon Jr to have a stage but WWE would change his name and smooth him out. Pleeaaasssseeee let him and Fenix get DARK.

"Chekov's table comes into play" has to be the classiest piece of commentary for a good while, too.:obama:

Good shyt Cody. Didn't expect it to be this good.:ehh:

:feedme:

Good show. Didn’t watch the battle royal Vince has ruined pre shows for me forever

That Kylie chick is off brand Baylee it I guess that means Bailey is doing something right :yeshrug: I see they are going to give that Britt baker chick the Charlotte push. They been gushing over her for a while now

The awesome long return was dope even though I called it

The joshi match was wild, I like the personality they show in their matches. I just don’t think Vince will ever understand how to use Japanese wrestlers. He insist on making them conform

Cody and goldust killed it that was excellent storytelling. That’s the wwe style done right

Young bucks and Lucha bros was great if you like the flippy shyt

And the ME delivered I just wish I wasn’t spoiled on the Ambrose return prior to watching. He did his thing tho and can already see he will be the Brian pillman 2.0 he was always supposed to be. Wwe will soon learn they have to pay attention to the talent they hire, they can’t keep MIS using people.

The only question is when will the first AEW chants start on wwe tv?

Watching it right now. They got something here. I know all the names, I've seen them all wrestle but I wasn't buying the hype, I am now. This show was great. Just an old shool wrestling ppv. I haven't even gotten to the main event yet either.


It's not over done, its not over scripted. Production was great. It just gives off old school vibes, i love it . They need a few heavy weight stars and they'll be good.


They should give ryback a call. Cage would be a great pick up. Kross would fit right in. Maybe Del Rio. Aries (not a HW) would be a great addition.



Im on the AEW bandwagon now.

Ryback would be gold. Smarks hate him, especially after the CM Punk shoot, and he knows how to get over as a heel. They definitely need some "big guys" to mix things up.

Cage and Kross would be good additions, plus since Impact contracts aren't worth the paper they're signed on, I'm sure it'd be easy to get out of them. Ryback can kick rocks (his worth is overhyped), Del Rio I just saw is launching a lucha promotion with Chavo, and I'm assuming AEW is staying far away from Aries. Given his availability, it speaks volumes that he didn't appear on All In or Double or Nothing

Yea I can see Cage or Kross getting there eventually (hell, Scarlet should be a given). If it wasn’t for his attitude or reputation, y’all already know Austin Aries would’ve been one of the first names signed.

Ryback would just hurt his opponents some more. Fluck that guy. Too bad he’s not a more decent “big man” wrestler as opposed to an average meathead/steroidhead, because honestly he would actually be an asset.

This guy is rumored to be signed to AEW (his name appeared on Cody's whiteboard during the Road To promos):
