It's funny you say that when a complaint last night was how the heels don't get enough big wins, mostly in the upper midcard. It's a tough balance!

That's true, and I also think they could book more underdog wins in the midcard without upsetting anything. I get that they think guys like Top Flight are still young enough to eat losses without it hurting too much, but they do have to win something meaningful at some point or the fans will stop caring. Same with Garcia and Komander and a few others.

Roddy wins his defense, then on Dynamite Ospreay challenges for that week's collision. Roddy just gives him the belt and goes away.

:wave:

That was me in reaction to Shane Taylor eating the pin. My reasoning behind that is STP has always felt like a joke to me because it's always a foregone conclusion they're there to job. Which is the position of too many heels right now.

I'll admit it's tough to book though when AEW fans are the type to turn a good heel face because they love their work.

I kinda wish Shane Taylor had won but the image of them demolishing OC after the match as Trent just watched was pretty great, too.

Obnoxious Bucks are the best Bucks. Matthew doing "commentary" while getting backdropped was funny.

Kyle should beat Roddy at the PPV and then the Undisputed Kingdom can kinda go away.

Jericho was starting to run thin and i was wanting him to take a break, but last night was maybe the turning point on his new character and now i'm interested.

I can't wait for the eventual Mariah May v. Hayter match.

I'm definitely on your side. Not mad about it because the beatdown was good but I love Shane so much and want him to have a big win. STP is awesome, he should have won!!! Orange can eat it!! It's okay!

Though they did pin Shibata so that's nice.

Roderick Strong should absolutely not go away. He's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. Doesn't mean as much when AEW has probably the most talented roster of all time, but nonetheless, Roddy is a fantastic wrestler and if anything I'd like to see more of him. Maybe he and Kylo can spinoff from the Kingdom and go on a dominant tag team run.

I just really like Roddy and people saying he should go away are wrong and bad :colbert:

You're right and you should say it. He's really locked into a character that works for me, giving him some much-needed spice to his fantastic ring work. Also the glasses are funny. Big fan of his "Ned Flanders As He Appears In The Simpsons Wrestling" gimmick.

Roddy vs Kyle is a match I don't really care that much about while also acknowledging it'll be really good. Two great wrestlers but I just don't connect with either of them.

That said, I used to feel the same way about Daniel Garcia so they can easily change my mind!

I used to feel this way about Roderick Strong

I still do

I have been watching Roderick Strong for like 15 years now, waiting to actually find his personality interesting

I am still waiting, I have never really gotten behind Roddy, I only enjoy him when he is doing sick backbreakers

I'm very much with you on this, although I do care more about KOR given all he's been through adding to his character/gimmick/story.

Also, did I miss someone posting the quarter hours last week? What did THE TAPE do for the ratings? (Just curious - not trying to dive into ratings chat or re-debate if they should've aired it.)

Roderick strong should be pronounced like rodeo drive

Shane taylor should have won (but trent enabling the beat down was good)

Swerve should win

At least I don't dance with them, right?
As someone who hasn't watched Roddy before AEW, the one thing I know about his previous runs is that his current "weirdly intense nerd" character is the most convincing character work he's ever done. That character works for me, don't get me wrong, but it's a weird high water mark to have this late in his career and if I did watch that earlier work I probably would have written him off outside the ring by now.

(Also Shane Taylor should have won, even if the post-match beatdown was good. Shane Taylor feeling like the weak link of Shane Taylor Promotions is just weird.)

Would you kindly...

I live in the US and have been buying AEW ppvs from Bleacher Report from the beginning. I can't keep up with the cost anymore with how many shows they do now. I was thinking of trying to VPN and ordering that way.

I know nothing about how to activate a VPN. Which ones are reliable. What additional devices I might need.

Would anyone be able to tell me in the most dumbed down way how to go about participating in that 3 ppv for $50 deal? I see it on Triller but it also might require AEW Plus?

The TV we watch on we have always used the BR app on Xbox. I can hook up a laptop to watch off of too. I don't have a roku or any other similar device, but don't mind getting one if that makes this easier. I dont believe my TV has any built in streaming apps. I've seen people mention casting from their phone and disabling the VPN once it starts? When I've seen people mention pick any address as billing/location in UK do I just go to Google maps and click somewhere and use that?

I use my internet providers router for wifi if that is relevant.

Thank you. I look forward to hooting and hollering at a price that keeps me watching.

Danhausen becomes Jericho's #1 Fanhausen. It'd play off the Hookhausen stuff nicely and I know he and Jericho have done a lot of stuff together before on the Jericho cruise.

The only downside is I don't know if Danhausen is an actual weird CM Punk fanboy or if he's just been playing that up online for some reason. If it's the latter, perfect. If it's the former, I dunno if he'd be willing to poke fun at himself like that.

He seems ride-or-die for realsies, but I don't know how much of that is just because Punk bought some comic books for him.

I use ExpressVPN as my VPN. It has apps for mobile devices, Google TV, Fire Sticks, or can be used on a computer no problem. It's a program you download and click a button to activate when you want.

Basically I had a US Fite account already. I set my VPN to the UK, opened up the Fite website, and was able to subscribe to AEW Plus, and it let me pay in dollars and everything. I don't think you need AEW Plus for the PPV rates but it does get you the non-commercial weekly shows. I can turn on ExpressVPN on my phone and buy the PPV bundle through the Triller app or watch that way, though weekly I have a Chromecast with Google TV and I have the VPN and Triller apps both installed there so it's a simple case of turning on the VPN and going to Triller to watch.

So...get a VPN, set it to the UK, log into your existing Triller account, and the bundles and monthly sub options should just pop up, and you can pay using Google Pay or whatever stored payment method you have. Pretty easy.

Apple TV has native VPN apps now, it’s super simple. Launch vpn app and connect, then launch triller and it’s all there. You can even buy in app from your tv using the card in your iCloud account.
