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...

Alan 5 Angels’ contract has expired.

i can see a lot of contracts that are coming up, that won’t be renewed.

Well there goes my view of Ethan Page as a potential star.

Can't unsee that ending.

Why do you hate fun? Was a good opener.

 

[mickelboy182]

Awesome main event, fingers crossed for Santana and Eddie...

 

[Nicho50]

Claudio just looks a million bucks and honestly just has the look of superstar , great crowd reactions.

Probably WWE’s biggest blown chance in 10-15 years.

I dont hate fun but the optics of it looks ridiculous.

I was actually thinking earlier if AEW had something like a cruiserweight division and he was in it I could probably stomach him more. However that's not the case.

I don't think it's that ridiculous, hit him with two Orange Punches and the finish was paying off the story. Not that it really matters.

Alan 5 Angels’ contract has expired.

apparently going on a "per appearance" deal now

Angels was offered a per appearance deal, but declined.

It's a shame Ego is really talented but I doubt he ever does anything meaningful ever in AEW.

he should have stayed in Impact tbh

Lol jfc ill Trust Vince's opinion on why he never pushed the man instead of the folk on here.

Glad to see that Orange Cassidy is using his pre-AEW indy theme. Thought Cassidy drank the Orange juice, so to do a orange-mist at Lambert was creative. Anyone notice Ethan Page kicked out at 3 and half at the end?

Luchasaurus under heel Christian Cage's wing is pretty interesting. A couple of ways they could go about this storyline when Jungle Boy gets back.

FTR and Danhausen vs The Gunn Club and Max Caster was entertaining. FTR with a great pop for their entrance, and the Ass boys chants were really loud.

Not sure what was going on after that TBS title match with OVW Womens Champ Leila Grey, she gonna join the baddies?

Blood and Guts was great, if I was nitpicking, I would have cut about 10 minutes off the match though to fit another segment in. Claudio a terrific addition to the BCC, was my MVP of the match by far. Also liked the Claudio and Hager stare down with the we the people chants.

 

[Shade]

Christian is the best thing on this show right now this is absolute money the stuff he is doing.

good, he's beyond cooked

I wanted a fireball. Match timing probably got thrown off due to Santana's injury

 

[Nugett]

I was laughing at JR calling Claudio Cesaro throughout the match and Regal calling Danielson Daniel Bryan. With Excalibur correcting them all the time

Wasnt a bad episode tonight. Loved with the ending, with Kingston having a hissy fit with Claudio winning for the team. That’s going to be a great feud when it happens. MJF steps away, Christian steps up to be the #1 heel. Christian’s heel promo’s are the best. Real interesting dynamic with him and Dinosaur boy.

 

[Senor M]

Santana's injury messed up the flow of the match, as a few spots were either skipped or subbed out.

Mentioning the rubbing alcohol twice in 5 minutes and then it never playing into a spot was odd. Maybe a flaming table spot?

Then later it was clear that Sammy going off the cage was an audible. He had to tell both Kingston & Jericho what was going on and there was little narrative explaining why. I assume that Santana was going to get sacrificed initially, with Kingston refusing to surrender to mirror the end of the last Blood & Guts match.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Such a shame for Santana. Kingston didn’t look great either. He said something like “my back is ****ed but I’m ok” to Claudio at the end.

I really enjoyed tonight’s episode.

Lol jfc ill Trust Vince's opinion on why he never pushed the man instead of the folk on here.

I’d rather trust my own judgement and opinion on a wrestler, over being told what I should think I like. Vince’s decision making for the past decade and a half has been questionable. Claudio was under utilised for a majority of his run. The fact that he was voted underrated wrestler 4 years running seems to be a popular opinion not only amongst his fans, but his colleagues and for want of a better term journalists, that he wasn’t used to his full potential.

I’m sure that Roman and Brock will have another stinker..ooops WWE classic.

 

[GWBogan]

Great episode of Dynamite, best Blood and Guts match to date.

It sucks to see Santana get injured like that, hoping it's not too serious but I have a feeling that he's done his ACL.

Kingston vs. Claudio will be a banger when it eventually happens.

Jericho rubbed it into Moxley's open wound

 

[nobbyiscool]

I really thought, given how much post-match they showed, that Eddie was going to dump Claudio off the cage.

I liked todays match, but it does annoy me a little that once guys go to the top - which they’ve done twice now - the whole rest of the fight stops.

Also, what a strange way to blow your knee out.

 

[WA ROO]

They had great matches against each other back in the indys

 

[PVF]

I for one can't wait to see the highly built up singles superstar Brodie King Vs Moxley for the Interim Title.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Agree. Something different.
