Was that on Dynamite? I missed that episode if so. It fell apart because Ivelisse stopped selling right

The worst AEW shows are the YouTube ones which do not exist and the forum makes it up every week. None of those matches happens, this is manufactured consent, we've seen the invoice.

Ivelisse-Thunder Rosa was dope because the no-selling happened in PIP and they were really laying it in for other stretches. Got a solid match, funny clips and months of delusional Ivelisse content. What's not to like

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.

TH2 loudly saying they don't want anything to do with Ivelisse and then proving them right by throwing a tantrum because Rosa called two spots in their match was a very important part of AEW history. At least she didn't stand up and no sell/argue with her opponent like she did in the wrestle circus match.

Isn't it because Dustin kissed his wife pre-match? The optic is disgusting and it didn't matter that Hager and his wife cleared that before the show.

rewatching MJF vs Sammy, and the sequence that ends with the double pin 2-count and them both kippin' and flippin' up and staring each other down has to be one of the best i've ever seen in the ring, just insane athleticism and coordination

edit: also MJF lands a perfect catch on Sammy when he leaps out of the ring, nice to see how it's supposed to look, and i bet Sammy loved Excalibur's call "SUPER SAMMY GOES SUPER SAIYAN!!!"

In the middle of the match as I recall it, and that was only part of it. Hager is just a terrible loving wrestler and Dustin couldn't carry him to anything close to a decent match. Plus it was Hager's in-ring debut so there was all this build up for a dude who wasn't able to even present as having a basic degree of competence much less actual skill.

Brandi Rhodes was a heel and the "Nightmare Family v.1" interrupted an otherwise great match where Brandi, Mel, Awesome Kong, and Luther interrupted the match for HEAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

Riho and Stat were both babyfaces at the time so there was no reason for this to happen. Nightmare Collective attacked Statlander, Riho attacked Nightmare collective, Awesome Kong cost Statlander the match for no particular reason.

The on screen debut of Japanese Deathmatch Legend, The Original Death Dealer Doctor Luther.

it was a babyface title match with a heel faction dogging it (including some very bad commentary from Brandi)

I think Big Bicep Tony's learned his lesson on over-hyping/under-delivering. The big surprises were Big Show, Christian, and Mark Henry, the big matches were the exploding deathmatch and Wargames and they both under-delivered but they've had so many great matches on TV plus non-advertised debuts like Mox.

It was also kind of an "ugh, this really made the PPV?" match to begin with, and then they made it the opener for some inexplicable reason. Total whiff all around

I forgot that was the same match as the awful Brandi commentary, so the viewing experience started at "Jesus Christ why is this happening during a title match" and then somehow got way worse

That was probably around the time that Tony stopped taking booking ideas from talent. At least AEW gets the benefit of pivoting out of The Nightmare Collective and the original concept of the Dark Order pretty early on.

quote:

A hot topic backstage at in All Elite Wrestling this afternoon has been the former Aleister Black and Tommy End, now known as Malakai Blacks. Numerous AEW talent have speculated that he's coming into the company, with even rumors swirling that he's in Miami at AEW Road Rager tonight for some reason. We should reiterate, we can't confirm that Tommy End is in Miami, and nobody we've spoken to has gotten eyes on him, including those that are speculating. We have heard that AEW has reached out to him since his release, though that's hardly a guarantee that he's coming in.

Tommy End was released last month by WWE, and most WWE releases from the main roster have standard 90-day non-compete clauses. However, multiple people that have been released in the past couple of months have gained and been granted early releases from those clauses, including one name who will be popping up for other companies in the next few weeks. We aren't sure if Tommy End was among those. We reached out to WWE for more information, but were told they don't disclose that info. We've yet to hear of WWE rejecting a non-compete clause this year for anyone who wants it.

Again, we can't confirm that End is landing in AEW or is there tonight, but AEW talent themselves have been widely speculating it and discussing it throughout the day.

JR would be so much better if he stayed up on his poo poo and invested into the product even as a gimmick because of the contrast with his age, delivery, and sensibilities, but he leaned into the easy grumpy old man gimmick and who can blame him really

Yuka Sakazaki has a pinfall over Britt Baker and Britt curb-stomped her and knocked a tooth out

But Yuka is loud and obnoxious and usually a bully so I can't decide who the heel is
