I thought all the talking segments were dire. The Christian one was ok but the dead crowd brought the segment down. The crowd brought the whole show down to a degree in my opinion and I’m not as high on last nights episode as most here seem to be. It was a very WWE-type crowd where they only popped for the entrances and finishes for most matches. They were into the main event at least and I did like that match. I think they probably should have had Briscoe pull off the upset but Mox has traditionally been a final boss character so it’s probably too early in the tourney to pull something like that off.

I think they tried a few What chants with Christian

I thought MJF's ultra hacky promo schtick was supposed to be meta heeling but it turns out he's just Like That

I missed the start of the show, I rly wanna see swerves match but that would mean going out of my way to see a jay lethal match so idk. im already all in on the fake G1 tho. its cool its a cool way to do a tournament, rush and jay white rocked. agreed that mox feels kind of a holding pattern yet still around having matches, getting wins. im not saying he should be on a losing streak he should just really consider taking that vaycay

daddy magic really giving "only person contributing to a group project" energy in that promo and I rly like it. gently caress it daddy magic push, we've got enough belts he can be ahhh roh tv champ hows that bud

oh I forgot, Christian hosed up bad by not naming his sons "unprettier" and "nick cage" but the rest of the segment was wrestling maury and pretty great. Adam Copeland looks like a demon man

i really hope worlds end isnt a 1v1 w joe and mjf bc no way in the world joe is winning that and i would like mjf to no longer be champ asap. the courageous, battered babyface (who's still annoying and hack as gently caress but youre supposed to like it now) is getting accosted on all sides by dastardly heels and i want all of them to kick his rear end immediately

Yeah, there were a couple of What chants. It was very obnoxious. I was on the upper level and it seemed like a more casual crowd than usual. I don’t think they were that bad overall, but it seemed less full than the last two Thanksgiving shows. And having two heel vs. heel matches and a main event match featuring a guy who is only sporadically on TV created a lot of weird vibes. It certainly wasn’t the best Chicago crowd, but it was fine.

I think the Jake Hager hat taunting was one of the loudest bits of the night. The fact that Danhausen actually had the hat was insane.

MJF wins so the winner of the C2, Swerve Strickland, can beat him at Revolution.

Or Joe wins and Swerve beats him. Whatever. Swerve champ in the first quarter of 2024, I don’t care how he gets there.

You cannot convince me that Suzuki wasn't actually in the film but just saw a dude in a costume and thought,"I'm gonna gently caress that dude up."

Same deal with Ibushi except he really thought he had been gigantified somehow and this was a real Kaiju.

*blep*



Good Dynamite with only a couple of dull moments and no outright bad matches.

- Opening match was decent. Not amazing, but serviceable.
- The MJF / Adam Cole segment ran too long and Tony you REALLY don't need to call attention to MJF wrestling two matches in one night, one of them with a broken leg, and beating Switchblade.
- Oh right, the pape is in Long Island. OK so there's absolutely zero chance of MJF dropping it to Joe. So the world title spins its wheels for at least a month because the Devil stuff sure as poo poo ain't getting resolved before then.
- MJF is still crazy over but man those promos did absolutely nothing for me.
- I love Danhausen and I love Danhausen's Silver Shamrock theme. And yoooo, it's my boy! God bless you and your Thanksgiving gift, Orange Cassidy!
- Trios match wasn't amazing, but what do you expect from a match featuring Jake Hager? Still some fun spots, a really fun finish, and Shibata owns. Loved the bootleg hat spot, and props to Hager for the most inventive curse sell in recent history.
- Oh jesus loving christ, this ADAAAAAAAAAAAAM poo poo is STILL going on?
- Oh gently caress off with his what poo poo, you morons.
- I hope they're not seriously renaming Luchasaurus to Killswitch permanently. Luchasaurus owns. And hinting at unmasking him? loving don't, we can have an angry wrestling dino man. It's cool.
- Man, Christian is so loving good. "THAT'S MY SON! THAT'S MY CHILD" oh my loving god.
- And lol the good guy in the feud gives Nick Wayne a loving conchairto in front of his mum, I love pro wrestling
- That was a great segment. More of that and less of MJF!
- God drat that beard works for Hatless Gunn.
- I remember when ROOOSH came to AEW, I was very much not into him but holy gently caress has he managed to turn me around. What an incredible signing he's been.
- Match was good. Loved that it featured about 70% brutal chops, which are my favourites.
- OK this is great. RJ and Rene presenting Toni Storm with the championship, the crowd redeeming themselves by chanting "SPEECH! SPEECH!", incredibly corny but great. And then immediately unredeeming themselves with the what poo poo again. Segment great, crowd poo poo.
- Oh loving hell, the Outcasts poo poo is still going on as well?! Thank god Toni escaped, but poor Ruby is still trapped.
- I want to like Wardlow because on his day he's great in the ring, but good loving lord the man is like a personality void.
- Main event was good, but man I wanted Mark Briscoe to win.

The problem with Swerve winning the C2 is that he'll be a triple crown champion, so they wouldn't put him in the world title program until he drops that, as much as Swerve cleaning up the too many title situation by simply winning them all and unifying them would be awesome.
