I love FTR, they have their own feel for their matches

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FTR vs Bullet Club Gold might just be the best match on collision so far

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Straight into my top 10 of the year so far. No right going as rock hard as it did.

Julia has low key the best theme in AEW

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Her whole transformation from cheerleader to "spooky witch" has been great.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not to mention House of Black often have pretty legit great underground metal bands for their intro music. So I love their whole vibe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing beats metal and wrestling.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm really loving the balance between the chaotic match styles on Dynamite and Collision having a much more old school style overall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's been great so far. It's like, between their two main shows, WWE has a brand split and AEW has a style-split.

[–] Javish 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a fucking amazing tag match!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All four of these guys are insane. And we still have Punk vs Joe to come...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

House of Black are so good.

Julia has it figured out so young, and Brody is the most wholesome big evil goth dad.

That promo by Malakai was amazing, he's such a good heel because his whole thing is pushing his opponent to dig deep and overcome him.

He's made me care about Andrade like I never have in AEW. Helps that Andrade's promo was great, lots of passion and motivation.

Loving this feud so far.

Im really happy andrade is healthy and wrestling again

[–] Javish 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PPV-quality match. Jay White continues to be booked and presented like the GOTDAM star that he is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love to see him get a belt soon. Maybe be the one to beat OC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Now that's a match I'd pay to see

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Nigel on commentary. I've always felt AEW needs more heel commentators.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

When he accused Dax of being scared to make the tag I was like what, did he misspeak? Then I remembered he's a heel lol. It's nice, it's a dynamic I've missed on commentary since Taz became too hilarious to heel it up.

[–] Javish 5 points 1 year ago

JESUS, that spiked pile driver.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really like the added condition to the eliminator match that if the champs win the losers can't challenge them again. Haven't heard that ever mentioned during an eliminator match before, it gives a legit motivation for the champs to compete in them.

I like this move for Hobbs. He didn't really fit in with QTV.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I liked it as a one off, but Hobbs really doesn't need/deserve henchmen yet especially not mostly comedy ones.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly. I don't mind Hobb's having a mouth piece, but QT didn't seem like the right one. And I like QT.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Loved it. I've been wanting him to defect to BCG for weeks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Step-da said it was PPV quality and match of the week. Hard to argue. BCC vs. FTR

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And to think Punk vs. Joe is still on the way lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Solid show! Like a couple others were saying, I agree that it's really great to have Dynamite and Collision having such distinct styles. It really helps keep you excited for both.

Solid in ring action tonight. Jay White is everything he was advertised to be and more so far.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One day I'm going to remember that Collision is on at 5 and not 7 lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll try to add some timezones to the next thread. Maybe that'll help lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I like the Bang Bang Gang an irrational amount, but Jay and Juice have amazing chemistry together.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a huge BCG mark. I'd love to see EL-P join them at some point.

[–] Javish 3 points 1 year ago

Jay White needs a Mucinex regimen.

[–] Javish 3 points 1 year ago

Solid episode tonight. Good times, folks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There could be a lot of chaos out of Punk vs Ricky if Punk wins.

Is that the pirate shirt from Seinfeld?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hey Juice, what did the five fingers say to the face?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Happy to see Chairvert Shawn Spears returning. He wishes he knew how to quit them chairs but I'm glad he can't.

Hobbs wearing Hart inspired gear makes me think he might beat Ricky...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That kid with the Punk sign might have the skinniest arms I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Kicking out of a superplex frog splash combo come on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can't say I'm surprised that finally punk got over on him. I guess it was about time. Pretty good Matt though. #AEW #CMpunk #somoajoe

Ooh and now we have a post match attack Good job Somoa Joe

[–] Javish 2 points 1 year ago

Gallagher is rocking that Hart jersey in front row.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Finally getting to tune in after cooking delays etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was a late kick out. The crowd still counted three.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. There's been a lot of late kick outs in this one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Jay White is the freaking master of selling a 2 count, he made it look like the match was over damn near every time he was covered.
