Have they just tossed the “No mixed gender contact” rule? Which would be fine.

If they keep recognizing the FTW championship, they’ll have to recognize the FTW championship.

If I were an AEW wrestler I’d just buy a random belt I made up and make the ref hold it up before each match.

Also I liked it because it’s a clever way to abuse the rules, which is Stokely in a nutshell, and there was plenty of satisfying action before the surprise. The only thing that makes me unsure is why would you put two of AEW’s best talkers next to each other? But maybe that question answers itself.

I think if you were going to do that finish you should of had that Casino Ladder match on Zero Hour and Ishii/Eddie open the PPV

I get that but I think you have to make sure as many people as possible see it.

Best Jade match so far by a long shot; not the outcome I wanted but that’s a plenty respectable defense.

Coudl someone tell me how the thread reacted to these things:
1) The funny ladder match ending
2) The beloved Elite winning Trios gold
3) Athena getting jobbed out to one move
4) Eddie vs. Ishii 6 minute chop battle.

1) mixed bag but a fair amount of disappointment from some
2) much love
3) much sighs
4) much much love

There are a lot of heels that needed legit wins to gain some actual heat. Especially JAS.

But to stack all of the wins together is a choice.

This I agree with. To be fair I don’t think he expected SioG to get so much heel heat, and of course Toni won, but the sequencing has been a bit weird in practice.

Tell you what, though, the crowd reaction to that near fall is exactly why the Dynamite squash was important. Keep that door open.

That promo about how Mox was wrestling all of Chicago may have landed wrong. I mean how many of those people really wanna wind up in the ring across the avatar of violence?

Punk has some of the best psychology in the game, even near the end of his WWE run where he was looking pretty ragged he could still work a good match.

I was a bit worried it’d be too much passion of the Punk earlier, but that was dumb of me. Seriously, this after the Danielson/Jericho match? We’re spoiled.

Now I guess the question is: They just did this feud so why run it back so quickly unless MJF is going to win? Or, or unless Punk is going to turn heel and this is his last hurrah as a face champ?

MJF wins because, and I’m not just being a snotball, Punk is too fragile to hold the belt for an extended run. It’s good for him to be in the mix but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him shift over to a trios run with FTR.
