[Ry009]

Ok folks. This thread has seen some heated and divisive chat that is taking discussion away from the week to week product. Going forward any WWE vs AEW related discussion should take place here. Examples of this are obviously the CM Punk, Ospreay and Triple H type stuff.

Hot Topic : Tribalism in Wrestling

Rightio folks. Going to trial this as a way for people to express their opinions on the more divisive topics in wrestling in a more controlled environment. The last few years has seen the rise of toxicity in the IWC reach fever pitch, and personally think this board has a great group of...

While constructive critisism is fine, repetitive opionions that have no intention of producing good faith discussion will be deleted. Repeat offenders will end up with thread bans. You're all clever enough to know the difference.

The Wardlow match was dumb but could have so so easily been way better.

 

[Loonerty]

Also Ospreay vs OC will slap, haters don't @ me.

Plus, did you hear the pop OC got?

 

[Nugett]

The Wardlow match was dumb but could have so so easily been way better.

It was dumb, especially seeing that about 15 of his pin falls, his opponents shoulders were never on the mat…

 

[mickelboy182]

Yeah they really botched what could have been a fun segment.

Just caught up on the show, Ospreay/Dax and the tag title match were SO good.

 

[Ry009]

Wishful thinking, but I'd love to see Dax get a singles run at some stage.

Dynamite next week:

• Hiroshi Tanahashi & Jon Moxley vs. Lance Archer & Chris Jericho
• Will Ospreay & Aussie Open vs. Orange Cassidy & Roppongi Vice
• AEW All-Atlantic Championship qualifying match: Penta Oscuro vs. Malakai Black

 

[Nugett]

Not a bad hour of Rampage. Darby vs Fish wasn’t too bad. It’s great when Sting returns.

The Acclaimed and The Ass Boys stuff is so over the top, people in the crowd doing the scissor taunt is hilarious.

The acclaimed are quite entertaining, they will have to hold the gold at some point. Hopefully Tony can stop hiring ex WWE talent now such as Strickland. unless it’s people like CSRO or Sasha that have a lot to offer, rather than what he has got. They have developed quite a few talents such as the Ass Boys and the Acclaimed. Add in Hobbs and Starks, Wardlow, Darby, MJF and a few others they have done a great job in building them up.

Thunder Rosa vs Miyu at TJPW next month

Stinghausen after Rampage.

Stinghausen after Rampage.

So lame

 

[Nicho50]

Danielson appearing tomorrow to address rumors. He is still not cleared at this stage. Damn concussions.

Dynamite is in 2 days.

 

[PVF]

Rampage with very poor viewership.

Will be interesting to see the ratings for this week and the buyrate for Forbidden Door if this New Japan crossover will be worth doing in the future.

I personally think it's hurting AEW at the moment, especially with the top guys out. They need to putting focus on their guys not some other company's.

 

[mickelboy182]

No doubt the crossover is hurting the casual fans, but I hope it doesn't make them can the idea in future.

They need to take more care in future in building and teaching the more casual fans about the New Japan guys for sure.

 

[RossFC]

On Elevation this week:
Andrade vs Kazarian
Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland vs Former Evolve and AAW tag champs Davey Vega and Mat Fitchett
Anny Jay vs Rebel
Tony Nese vs Warhorse
QT Marshall vs Matt Sydal

There was a such a buzz after DON and Dynamite in LA. The MJF is it a work or shoot angle was the hottest topic in wrestling.
The Japan stuff combined with injuries and MJF going cold has definitely been poor timing

 

[Nicho50]

See what happens at the PPV I am sure it will have great attendance but there’s no beating around the bush the numbers for dynamite and rampage have been horrendous of recent weeks.

[RossFC]

Blake Christian appeared on DARK this week, wrestling Jay Lethal in the main event.

Also next week Tony Nese gets a shot at the ROH Pure title against Wheeler Yuta.

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah Forbidden Door has just been horrendous timing. Clearly more than a few plans have had to change with it given injuries and the CMLL/AAA drama.

Feels a bit like Crown Jewel - lots of stories put on hold and some new stories rushed for an "out of cycle" event.

 

[RossFC]

4 more wrestlers added to the injury list.

Matt Hardy (swelling on knee from AAA show), Buddy Matthews (shoulder), The Bunny and Lee Johnson (out for the rest of the year).
