Ok folks. This thread has seen some heated and divisive chat that is taking discussion away from the week to week product. Going forward any WWE vs AEW related discussion should take place here. Examples of this are obviously the CM Punk, Ospreay and Triple H type stuff.

Play Nice - Hot Topic : Tribalism in Wrestling

Rightio folks. Going to trial this as a way for people to express their opinions on the more divisive topics in wrestling in a more controlled environment. The last few years has seen the rise of toxicity in the IWC reach fever pitch, and personally think this board has a great group of...

Rush and MJF was good. Match wise I really only enjoyed the main event, like I said way behind in terms of story and angles. Seeing Comoroto, Private Party and Tony Nese isn't my ideal viewing but maybe it appeals for someone.

Enjoyed Dynamite.

Only criticism is really Jericho, who after the last year or so hasn't produced stuff that people are generally happy of. When he started the vortex stuff with Shibata and Hook, thought he was onto something with the real perceived reputation he had, but (and just my IMO) think he's leaned way to hard into it, like they have with Toni (again just my tastes not saying im right).

MJF and Rush is a great idea. He has a tonne of potential, so working with MJF is going to do wonders for his development. Isn't going to get better if he's not working with the higher level talent. Should be more of it.

Rhodes is essentially a jobber now, but the way they used him with Perry was spot on.

You didn’t like the 6 man tag?

A little hard to when I can't stand the majority of people in the match, I think the only one I genuinely like is Briscoe.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

MJF wasted against that random dude.

The Jericho stuff is FF time for me. No idea why they’re persisting with this.

Jericho must have a decent amount creative control in his contract.

uh oh, Bryan Keith is gonna come after you for not respecting Chris Jericho now.

I'm not down on Jericho and I think the learning tree is an interesting gimmick idea - but I don't think it's working.

Should be far more focused on pre-recorded promo segments, so it can be tighter and get us somewhere quicker.

 

[Mostyn]

Bit of a B- episode.

Watching it, you'd almost think there wasn't much depth on the roster - some job stuff that felt like a waste of time.

Was going to work as a semi serious gimmick with the whole vortex thing. But it's complete cringe as a comedy act IMO.

they have more talent than they know what to do with, so no great loss.

Solid No DQ match with Rosa and Purrazzo. The spot where Rosa ran up the table and did a dropkick was cool.

Christian Cage with an entertaining in ring promo, crowd still chanting for Luchasaurus, teasing a face turn down the line.

Hikaru Shida entering the Owen Cup.

Thought Buddy Matthews injured his knee/patella in the 6 man tag main event, then he got wiped out backstage by The Patriarchy. So maybe it's a work?

Bang Bang Gang just destroying stuff is hilarious.

It also should be done as pre records, as it takes too much time live.

I like the Bucks but this EVP assaulting Tony flexing power has so many holes it . Why on earth would they put themselves in a title eliminator match.

They can beat up the owner without consequences because they are EVPs yet they have to wrestle in a match like that for me it just makes the story/ everything involved in that angle a complete shambles regardless of whether they match and upcoming title defence then be any good.

 

[Nicho50]

Claudio v PAC was awesome shame about the result. Claudio v Danielson would have been a match of the year contender.
