Looks like we'll get Mox vs Cassidy vs Hangman vs Jay White in a 4 way for the AEW World Title as well?

That will be fun

20 year anniversary of JBL defeating Eddie, Taker and Booker T in the same stipulation.

Tony has so many obscure references sometimes that it wouldn't surprise me if this was on purpose haha.

I'm particularly looking forward to the Tijuana Street Fight between Mariah May and Thunder Rosa – that match has some serious potential. The Continental Classic finals should also be a highlight, with all those big names involved.

 

[Cleavy]

please end this MJF-Adam Cole feud, I'm begging you!

 

[THE EQUALIZER]

It's a very difficult card to predict winners with any confidence, but I'll try anyway.

Okada should win, but the way the Ricochet story has been building, and the possibility of inserting the Hurt Syndicate and Swerve into proceedings at some stage in the show has swung me to Ricochet.

Ospreay gets his payback on Fletcher, but he'll head to the final banged up.

May defeats Rosa. I wonder will that up and coming rookie get involved.

MJF defeats Cole to put an end to this whole drama.

Takeshita beats Hobbs, but it won't be the end of matters.

Mone retains against Statlander, but should be another great contest.

Ospreay gets his win over Ricochet to win the Continental Title.

Moxley retains, but this has overbooking and complexity written all over it.

Should be a great show.

I don’t know if it’s just me but the crowd audio seems a bit strange.

When they pop or chant it sounds pretty good but it’s literally dead silent outside of that. AEW crowds are normally pretty hot so wondering if it’s just a bad night or if the way they have mic’d the building is different

 

[Planet14]

It’s going to be a Max exclusive streaming show as part of the next streaming deal. It won’t be on normal TV or PPV in the US.

QT vs Jarrett, and the 8 man tag were decent pre-show matches.

Jarrett to possibly announce his retirement on Dynamite?

Terrific opener between Fletcher and Ospreay. lmao at Fletcher ripping the fans sign saying Ospreay is better, and the fan had a backup sign! Ospreay busted open bad.

Funny in the other semi the crowd was all over Ricochet for being bald. All the toilet paper rolls thrown at Ricochet after the match was classic.

Women's title street fight, MJF/Cole, International title match, TBS Title all solid at worst.

Ospreay vs Okada great. Ospreay is so good, he stole the show. Put the world title on this man. Great to see Kenny Omega back.

Main event felt like finisher spam. Although I liked Jay White giving Marina a blade runner. Also great to see Adam Copeland back as well.

 

[RossFC]

Have I missed any references to the Brisbane show?

As far as I've seen, we're now 3.5 hours in, and no reference to a major overseas arena show that's now less than 7 weeks away.

So what the hell is this show? I'm getting closer and closer to cancelling, it's too expensive for something that might not even be a Dynamite.

Still had this PPV, + Wrestle Dynasty to get through. Since the show is mid Feb, maybe there will be announcements 3-4 weeks before.

I would think Kenny Omega and Adam Copeland returning is very encouraging for AEW Grand Slam Australia.

Both guys coming back from solid layoffs. At their age as well can you see them making the trek?

Especially with Kenny backing up a month from Wrestle Dynasty as well.

I hope so, but I wouldn't blame them for not coming.

 

[Cleavy]

the MJF-Cole match wasn't that good and the main event was a little OTT, but everything else delivered (and in the case of Takeshita/Hobbs, May/Rosa, and Mone/Stat overdelivered compared to the builds)

nice to see the return of Copeland. obviously Ospreay is amazing.

I’d be pretty pissed if they didn’t make the trip. If you’re trying to impress in your first time in the country then you bring your big stars.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Okada was absolutely the wrong choice to win the tournament.

Ospreay is the biggest babyface star AEW has. This was the perfect opportunity to start catapulting him to the top.

Okada hasn't been impressive since debuting in AEW and his win felt a bit deflating.

Fletcher, Ospreay, Richochet, Allin and even Garcia had better performances throughout the continental classic than the eventual winner.

The moment afterwards with Omega was a lot of fun! But surely there was another way to make it happen.



Also, if Tony Khan is smart he's booking Moxley vs Copeland for Brisbane.
The idea of 'Edge vs Ambrose' might actually sell more tickets to neutral wrestling fans, even though that won't be how it's promoted.
