Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Darby Allin is so goddamn good at wrestling

gently caress that finish, the match was amazing until that halfassed run in. I figured Darby wasn't winning but I was still on the edge of my seat up until Hagar showed up and I just cooled off.

Well guys, that's ruled once again. I'm so glad to be enjoying wrestling so much again. Between this and New Japan, it's such a good time

I am not a big fan of Darby submitting. He should have passed out in the hold.

Scorpio Sky owns. Best Friends owns. Lucha Bros murdering Marko Stunt owns. Marko Stunt being used as a weapon by Jungle Boy owns. Riho Rihowns. Darby Allin owns. AEW owns.

I would guess Darby insisted on being beat with a lion tamer rather than the judas effect.

Darby, Jericho, Mox, Pac and Omega could all realistically be my favorite wrestler in a promotion...and they're 5/6 dudes who wrestled in the second hour of this show

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I love Foochs reactions to AEW they’re my favorite part of the GDT.

I am consistently amazed he was able to be so mobile in those jeans

With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

Jake Hager sucks (and the Fite stream chat I happened to look at before the show sucked even worse for similar reasons), but that was another really good wrestling show. AEW owns.

I have the very distinct feeling that Britt/Riho was on Dynamite because Britt isn't ready for PPV and they know it.
It seems to be becoming obvious that Private Party and Darby are the real standouts of their young talent and AEW knows it.

Is 1.5 too much to expect in terms of ratings? I don't think that it would be.

So many storylines from this show: Scorpio Sky stepping in and doing well so tension between next match depending on Daniel's status as to who SCU uses for the next tag match, Best Friends' growing frustration at losing to a makeshift last minute team (since they were expecting to face Daniels/Kaz), who stops Riho?, Mox vs Pac, Mox vs Omega with weapons, Allin possibly getting revenge on Hager for his interference, Audrey vs Penta and Jericho.

seconding this. wasn't as great as the first two weeks but a lot of solid storytelling. if just being a solid, well built wrestling show is AEW's off week, that's incredible

I just wanted to say that it's so nice that they're putting in little details. Like PACs obsession with his win/loss record leading to him eating the pin rather than just losing because the other guy was DQed

Given that last week's ratings settled at 1.05 I suspect it might be.
I think keeping at 1 million is the goal right now. Because sometimes popularity is about more than the quality of the product.
(Unless you're thinking baseball is what caused the drop, in which case I hope you're right).
