All Elite Wrestling (On Triller TV and ESPN)

[Blackhawk42]

I've had a couple of predictions come true in the past year.
Christian as Swerve's first challenger.
The last 2 months of booking for that loooong MJF and Cole rivalry.

Here is my next one...

MJF and Kenny Omega are both scheduled to appear on Dynamite this week.
Both are former champions, and both have recently said they want the AEW title again.
Here is your next fued.
I expect they'll be in the same segment tomorrow.

If you guys with tickets are lucky, it could me Omega vs MJF in Brisbane, with the blow off at Revolution so Kenny is then free to face Okada at All Out Texas.

"what's that booking say? feud with MJF?"

 

[nobbyiscool]

Well, I have good news.

Ticketek are absolute balls. I don't think that's ever likely to change for as long as they're allowed to run an overpriced monopoly over venues.

But I'm glad that the people in the BECs accessibility team take their jobs really seriously, and I'm glad that the promoter TEG cared to right a wrong.

I suspect the earlier suggestion is what's happened - this morning the promoter have given them a seat that was set aside for someone important. It's not the one I was alluding to last night, it's another new one that they've put to me this morning, and it's one that I'm super happy with, I think it's the best of all the seats I've had/been offered. (Hard to know for certain at an old venue with a weird shape/layout that I've never been to.)

It's a good outcome, I was 99% out on Monday.

Awesome news mate, shame you had to go through the BS first. Can relax now and look forward to a fun night.

I'm currently watching Dynamite, and now all I wish is that I'd dropped the 90 bucks on the Toni cap and the FEEL THE WRATH tshirt.

The 20% off sale is now ended, and with only 4 and a bit weeks to go, and with PWTees coming off the back of a big sale, I'm no confident that I could make an order now and have it arrive in time. But they'll be the top of my shopping list on event day.

(Also, for those who are attending - I was just looking at my new ticket, and like most major events in Qld the ticket includes free train and bus transport. It's a bloody outstanding policy that more cities should've adopted.)

I don't know that I feel heaps better about what this show is after today. I guess they've mentioned it a couple of times, but aside from that one women's match, they're still not building to it. I guess we wait and see what happens after the Dynamite special next week. I'm obviously locked in now, so kind of just hoping for the best card possible.

There's some flecks of ideas there that I'd be happy to see.

• something involving Ospreay, Kenny, Kyle, and hopefully Takeshita would be incredible. (and I think Brian Cage is a very good sub for Takeshita.)
• I would be happy with Death Riders vs Rated FTR, or some permutation of that that also involves Hobbs or Darby (although I don't think Yuta will be in this match). I might actually prefer that to seeing an elderly "Cope" under a horrible new name in a singles main event slot.
• Yuta won't be in that match because I think, from a timing perspective, Jay White vs Wheeler is probably going to be the 2nd match announced.
• It's too early for Toni to win the belt again, but I'm going to be happy with the presumptive Mariah vs Toni match. (I wonder if they're setting up Harley to be involved as well.)
• The timing is probably going to be right for MJF and Jarrett. Next week is too close, Revolution is going to be too far away. Better to have them against each other than infesting 2 separate matches I guess. I don't expect Jarrett to be over in Australia, it's not a career trajectory that lends itself to a current of underground support.
• That Ospreay/Buddy match and post-match is sewing a seed today. Much as I'd love it to involve Melbourne wrestling royalty Adam Brooks (who Ospreay shouted out today), I don't think it does. I do however wonder if it's leading to a crisis of conscience and of leadership where we get Buddy vs Malakai. Not as a break up a angle, but more as an "I need to know" kind of angle.

I'm not as convinced on the timing of these ones for Brisbane:

• But Ricochet vs Hangman would be great.
• I wanna sing the Hurt Business song, but I'm also not sure about their timing with Private Party. I would've suggested something with Briscoe and a partner is more likely, but Briscoe pledged to never wrestle as part of another 2-man tag team.

 

[Blackhawk42]

That Brooksy shout out was unexpected!

Also, Cope is the greatest wrestling name ever if we're comparing it to Kenny Omega's new entrance music. Far out, I miss the old one.

Added to Collision:


Next week on Maximum Carnage Dynamite:

 

[RossFC]

Good opener between Matthews and Ospreay.

Was that an error on Kyle's tron that said he was still in The Conglomeration?

Powerhouse Hobbs winning the Casino gauntlet was unexpected.

Solid 3 way women's match.

Interested to see where this MJF/Jarrett stuff goes, does MJF end up trying to screw over Jarrett now?

 

[RossFC]

 

[RossFC]

DREAM MATCH that top one.

And this surely is to start a build for Matthews to do something big at Grand Slam. There's no way he's suddenly just facing one of the company's biggest stars for no reason.

Interesting that Ospreay said to Matthews that he doesn't need a leader.

 

[Cleavy]

Speculation (not for the first time) that Malakai is really done with AEW.

No big loss. Probably see him just as much…

No big loss. Probably see him just as much…

Honestly, I hope they replace him in the group and keep House of Black together. Hopefully use them even more.

Hmmm - that Buddy promo makes it feel definite.
