The difference is that OWA looks loving great whereas Killswitch looks not good.

The driver part looks good, but I've never seen the Electric Chair setup into awkward shuffling around on his shoulder while moving the guy's legs out of the way transition part look good. It's too slow and takes way too much setup time.

the whole point of the OWA is the setup, so you can tease it and have people get out

jesus WEP posted:or a victory roll which is also rad and not done enough anymore The “Shocka in Osaka” with Juice is still an incredible moment four years later. Not quite a victory roll, but a hell of a cradle out of the OWA and seeing Juice tackle Red Shoes and act like he just won the lottery is such a  piece of footage.

OWA just looks like it dunks you on your head faster and harder, from a bigger height than a Minchinoku Driver imo + has a different set of counters and setups so it has always looked cool. Also the electric chair position can be transitioned into more impressive Croyt's Wrath which will never cease to impress or frighten me at how Kenny has the strength to do it. Is there anyone else who does a more convincing knee smash? Was just thinking of his whole moveset and idk if anyone else I've watched does a more realistic looking knee to the dome. The fact that he hasn't concussed people with that poo poo is mindboggling.

Lid posted:Tired: Okada v Omega I don't know how the crowds would react to Takagi's entrance, but having him try to run down Fenix in a bicycle would be the best thing in wrestling if only for how Fenix would respond.

Who the gently caress is Shingo Takagi. I'm talking about the only person in wrestling named Takagi that matters to AEW. Sanshiro Takagi, president of Cyberfight.

Wazzu posted:I really enjoyed the show this week, but didn't enjoy the finish to Christian and Hardy, just felt weird that at 8 Christian got up into the ring, Hardy turned away and kill switch. Shaman Tank Spec posted:Yeah I have no idea what was up with that finish. It felt like we missed a couple of steps on the way, but it didn't tarnish the match I believe it was a metaphor. The match started with them being locked up with each other, longer than most would normally be locked up. It ended with Christian recovering for an extended period of time before returning with a surprising amount of strength left in him.

Heat Up's Shingo has a strange charisma around him. Strange in that I can't explain why I think he's cool. It's good to see DDT work with other feds like this.

The fact that he hasn't concussed people with that poo poo is mindboggling. EVIL got a pretty gnarly concussion from one in the G1 a few years back, I think. Can't remember if it was purely Kenny's mistake or if something happened and EVIL slipped on the ropes a bit right before impact though. But yeah I love when Kenny matches get to the "gently caress it, v-trigger time" phase and it's a wonder more people don't get rocked by them.

IIRC Evil put his head against the rope instead of above it so when Kenny hit the knee his head got sandwiched.

Belated Dynamite Thoughts: (Muddied because it's been a few days) Mox vs Anderson: Awesome counterwrestling match. Don't really have much more to say about it. I've beaten this drum before but Sammy is ready for a breakout win against somebody better than Shawn Spears, even if the Stadium Stampede moment was awesome AF and Spears has finally found his niche in the Pinncale Speaking of finding niches: Man, with all the new talent that's come in between his tag title reign and now Scorpio Sky seems very not-special. Which we've all said before but it bears repeating. Now that MJF is skewing match stipulations in new and interesting ways I am imagining a world where Jericho has to have both singles matches against both Dax and Cash at the same time. Which is like a handicap match except he has to pin or submit both of them. Actually wait this is a terrible idea. Under no circumstances should FTR lose a handicap match. Still, fun to think about. Wow that crowd was hype AF for Ricky Starks. I really wanted Hangman to come out and tell Matt "you know I thought what went on between us was all my fault but now I realize...you guys are just assholes and lovely friends" My idea of how this will play out: Dark Order will win the 5 v 5. If StUno get the title shot before All In (is that the next PPV, they lose. If they get the title shot at the PPV, they might win. I don't think it's impossible that DO will lose the 5 v 5 but I am of the mind that it's time for Hangman to be a champion and to look the part of a champion. And AEW protects the gently caress out of their champions. What the hell flowers were in the coffin? Why were they IN the coffin? Don't flowers usually have buds? The Coffin Drop through the coffin may be the single most reckless thing I've seen Darby do, if only because of the possbility that either him or (more likely) Page could have been impaled by a piece of splintered wood. Even if it's just particle board. I can't imagine being Page and taking that bump. Being in a dark box, knowing a dude is going to fall on you but having no idea when.

Very strong argument to be made that he’s the best wrestler in the world right now, dude’s been on a run of absolute bangers since… well, for longer than I can even remember at this point.

More Elevation matches: Orange Taylor & Chuckie T. v. Chaos Project Penta & Eddie v. Cezar Bononi & JD Drake Baron Black v. Kaz Tay Conti & Serena Deeb v. Vertvixen & Jazmin Allure Red Velvet v. Julia! Will Hobbs v Lucas Chase. Conti and Deeb is a strange partnership as Conti's sorta face and Deeb is sorta heel. I predict a bit where Tay tries to get Serena to dance after the victory. Wheeler Yuta is in the best friends corner, so they've really taken him to heart. And I hope Drake and Eddie get to chop the hell out of one another. ChrisBTY posted:What the hell flowers were in the coffin? Why were they IN the coffin? Don't flowers usually have buds? They were black roses, right? Probably made from plastic. And generally the bud blooms into the flower, so w/ a single-stem rose like that one then you wouldn't have any other buds.

Which we've all said before but it bears repeating. I think Scorpio is a big hanger-on to Ethan Page, who just has way more solid character work and is a fantastic worker. A shame he came in to the fed late because he would have worked out really well with Pinnacle/Inner Circle or some other jackass faction.

Scorpio Sky is a guy who seems better off in tag teams/factions where he can just be a good wrestler. In speaking he comes off as a very laid back/low key kinda guy and he doesn't really translate that into a wrestling character very well. Which makes it really weird that he's the guy who gets his own podcast with the Rooster Teeth people.

Ethan Page to the Pinnacle after they viciously turn on Shawn Spears seems ideal.

Even if it's just particle board. You could see the refs swarming around the coffin, I'm sure they were communicating with Page about when Darby was going to come down. I'd say the threat of the coffin was real bad, too, but I've seen Darby do some stupid poo poo at this point.

During the Penta Kingston/Bucks street fight there was an upside down table in the ring, made me real worried somebody was going to impale themselves on the tablelegs.
