That definitely read as Jericho checking off a bucket list item "Do a for-real deathmatch".

So, extending the benefit of the doubt, what next for Hangman???

I'm expecting some kind of career vs title type stip. Because unlike WWE's mentality that those 'give away the finish' as a bad thing, but if you do it for, say, Omega/Page for the belt, we all know Page ain't losing that.

My mind actually went to the story Jericho tells in his first book about breaking his arm doing a SSP in Smoky Mountain.

I do hope the match does well enough that Tony decides we can have some regular death matches as a special treat. But then when they do those it shouldn't be two guys who are both out of their element.

When it came down to 3-1 I figured the Elite was winning, but I really hoped that Hangman would have eliminated Kenny before the Bucks took him out.

It got to 2 on 1. Page took out Nick.

Love me my cultist cowboys.

I loved the booking at the end of the elimination match. I thought Kenny would get caught (So Page only beats him by DQ) and then Page manages to beat Nick. Instead I'm just sad that Page lost :(

I hope he can get his title shot for September.

I thought Knox was gonna DQ him when Kenny grabbed him off of one of the near falls

The balcony spot was scary too because he lost his footing to start. I think he meant to do something more impressive and ended up with kind of a Flying Nothing (which is fine if it means he's safe)

I missed this entrance coming into the show late and that was pretty fuckin' cool looking

I also like the cowboy version of the dark order - they've come so far

The bandanas on Silver and Reynolds actually works perfectly. Like, Reynolds looks like he should just be doing a cowboy gimmick already

Agreed, the cowboy look and the dark order colors go really well together and this is a fun phase in the history of a group that has already had a few great ones

Kinda want Uno to add a stetson and a bootlace tie to his out of the ring look.

Hangman winning at Arthur Ashe has always made more sense. I spent a long time trying to figure out the alchemy of that with him winning this 10 man tag, instead of realizing it just made more sense for him to lose the tag.

I dunno about doing two AEW title changes in a row on free tv.

Hangman's whole issue has been with the Bucks from the start. He needs to beat them (or at the very least, Matt Jackson) first, and that's what they hinted at by having him pin him in the 10-man.

He needs to pin Matt... which they hinted at by having him... pin... Matt?

JB had his shot, if we're looking at rankings/build possibilities, it's gotta be Christian or OC, and you could argue OC already had his shot too sooooooo

OC had 2 visual pins and only lost to a roll up after he had Kenny pinned for 3 but Aubrey was still running to the ring.

I do think if they do the Christian/Omega match it'll a) be on a Dynamite or Rampage and b) it'll be the trigger for Christian turning heel on Jungle Boy. I figure Christian loses with JB as his second, Jack comes in after the match to console him and he loving snaps and does the one-man con-chair-to or something on him before Luchasaurus and Marko make the save.

Not to pile on too hard here cause everyone's already saying it but lmao at the idea of Tony Khan building up his unbeaten champ, never pinning him for over a year and then giving the rub of all that to *spins wheel* Josh Alexander.

I could see an argument to having him drop the AAA title to Andrade, because he's another AEW guy.

I feel like New Japan wouldn't outright false advertise like that. If they wanted Shota as a surprise, they could've just not announced him for LA in the first place. I think Dickinson or Eddie are much more likely.

i've never seen a Punk match, i hope he's a good wrestler and talker guy :)

Despite the 'always bad' crowd, he was one of the best promos in the business and his in ring was never super crisp but his psychology was very good. If he's able to get the rust off at QTs gym or wherever, he'll be an asset, his behind the scenes personality notwithstanding

I'm willing to admit I'm pretty shocked about it. I liked Punk quite a bit, but I figured he was done and had kinda written him off. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a ring again but I did not expect this kind of reaction. Maybe it being AEW/not the WWE has something to do with the level of excitement? I don't know.

I think it's impossible to overestimate how over Punk is in the Chicago area. He was over enough that Vince was skittish about burying him and think about the people Vince humiliates in their hometown
