Show kicked rear end, high quality matches (especially Penta and Copeland), tons of good character stuff, and a pissed off Ospreay.

Also the tape reveal was masterfully done, even without getting into the content of it. The Bucks remain heels by blaming their loss at Wembley on it. FTR remain faces by not commenting on the content of the tape, but just saying they’re sick and tired of it. The Bucks are the weirdo online fans who can’t get past it and it’s funny and a little concerning how many people online will miss that and just think “oh the Bucks are obsessed with Punk”.

Yeah, the video reveal was definitely a “go gently caress yourself, here’s what really happened” but they used it to build a future match and presented the idea of “please just loving forget about this now” as the baby face response.

Dax really fired up the crowd as well, I thought his promo was excellent. He definitively showed that FTR are in AEW to stay and sold the match hard, to the point that the crowd was chanting for them.

Come back, Hero

I miss him so much :(

He said in his Unrestricted podcast interview that he only wants to be onscreen as a wrestler if they can make it special and not just a nostalgia pop and I really do respect that but god what I wouldn't give to hear "K O W KINGS" one last time.

This show was good because it had everything that makes wrestling good: luchadors in cool outfits, old men doing gnarly poo poo, violence, drama, blood, people getting hit with foreign objects, sex, a guy with a lot of money, hyped up people screaming at the camera, and really loud chops. It was pro wrestling at its purest.

Laughed real hard at Stokely throwing out that challenge. Fun little segment even if Copeland completely took Willow’s idea right out of her mouth and suggested it as his own.

I feel like he was a little out of it from the match lol

It was a fun segment all around; I laughed at him making up a silly nickname for the Cope/Eddie/Mark trio :allears:

Schiavone dropping that the mixed tag match next week will be the first time the TNT and TBS champion will "face off" in a match (inasmuch as they can) was a cute little factoid. It's neat and I hope they mix the divisions more as it's a good way to help the whole show feel integrated and cohesive.

It's something I noticed with Copeland early on, both he and Eddie commenting on the Young Bucks' attack on Sting and Darby. Acknowledgement that people know what's happening on their own TV show, even just tiny lines, can add a lot.

I think it's just a quick and dirty production layout. Camera positioning, stuff like that.

Been a busy three weeks, I have several Dynamites & Collisions backlogged, and I haven't been keeping up with these threads so I was completely out of the loop.

Skimmed the OP and had to do a triple-take when the recap said the legit All In footage was shown. Felt good to have a :monocle: :tviv: moment out of nowhere like that.

How long ago did the Bucks start mentioning the video in kayfabe? April 3rd Dynamite, a Rampage/Collision, or was it on social media? Keen to see how they worked it into the show.

Last Collision it was announced. But it only came about because of Punk going on Helwani and having a heavily-publicized interview where he lied about the events despite not even being asked about the incident.

Okada vs. PAC is one of those really unbelievable matches AEW likes to toss out every so often, just a match that until the bell rings I won't believe is happening but I couldn't be more excited for. PAC is such a compelling wrestler - he found what works for him (being as From Newcastle as possible) and is living it up. It's gonna be fantastic.

I should save this for the Hell Thread but AEW needs to get rid of the cheap Death Star back drop they’ve been using the last little while. I don’t have any better ideas though. I guess they can keep using it.

I think they should just use backstage areas more often than not. It helps ground the show in reality when wrestlers are cutting interviews on their way to the car or are all meeting up around what is clearly an "interview area" like the fun Cope And The Gang segment last night or are watching the feed from production or their locker room. This kind of backstage area feels too divorced from the happenings in the ring.

On the other hand, the WCW-style interviews on the stage with Renee have been kickass.

For a brief, glorious moment in time the indy’s collectively had the sickest tag division ever. KoW, Briscoes, Young Bucks, American Wolves, Future Shock, Wrestlings Greatest Tag Team, All Night Express, C & C Factory, Super Smash Bros, The Colony, Osirian Portal, FIST, 3.0, The Spectral Envoy, Jigsaw & Quackenbush. Probably more I’m forgetting.

2011 was probably the greatest year in my life

I'm actually pretty excited for the new Bucks/FTR match now that I've sat on it for a few days. The added Jack Perry tease makes it spicier, and you either get a great team with a fun workhorse gimmick having cool face matches or you get a great team on a hot heel run with gold having cool heel matches. Either way, you're gonna get tag matches and belt defenses. Big wins all around.

It would have been nice to see Top Flight or Private Party go farther but I have a good feeling about the tag titles, whatever happens at Dynasty.

I'm not sure the solution to someone posting spoilers (or, I guess, results but for a show that ended late last night) is for others to then quote the post containing the spoilers, keeping them visible.

Understandably uncool move though, at least wait a few days...
