Any show that has The Variety Blondes, Brandon Cutler, Laredo Kid, and hypes up a QT Marshall match isn't very good..

Hope it picks up

[DonrussDean]

Terrible show.. Ending was awful. Allin does nothing being a champ. He is solid, but not champ material yet. And the way he won was stupid.

Then the whole brawl again to end the show.. WCW type.

I will have to agree. Not very good tonight.

Im on board right now, after last week's killer Main Event.

I'll try again next Wednesday

No doubt we are all on board, but IMO this was a live show I Believe and after last week they could have really build on some things, but put a snoozer out instead.
One thing I don't like is there storylines drag out a bit.. Like if Cage is going to turn, it will take 4 months for it to happen.

I don't get why we have weeks in between seeing guys like Miro, Archer, and Cage, but get Sting and Cody weekly.

[Jericho]

The Cody/QT Marshall thing was odd. So QT has been married for years, yet he was in a storyline with The Bunny not long ago as his GF right?

Im an Omega fan but hate the way they handled his heel turn and title reign so far

Really? Sting highly paid you are going to get money's worth. Cody he is a VP of the company of course he's gong to make sure he's on TV in a top spot all the time. The others? Lucky they are not having to work indie bingo halls to make ends meet.

Kris Statlander returns and puts Penelope through a table in the ME.

Show was great, even QT heel turn and taking the students with him was good. Just wished he would have put Red Velvet through the stairs.

I thought the show was kind of all over the place. Christian struggling to get past Kaz probably wasnt the best idea if he's suppose to be there to go after Omega.

The QT/Cody thing just added yet another stable in AEW. WHY?! How many stables do we need in this promotion?

Anderson and Gallows are terrible, just had to add that.

But in all fairness Kazarian gave Omega a good challenge too when they faced each other so its not like Christian lost anything with having a tight match with Kaz

Yeah thats true. I think it would have made more sense to start Christian against someone else maybe, where he didnt look so gassed and old.

[DonrussDean]

The Stables are being set up for Blood and Guts..

After that, I think most will be broken up.

[Fratboy]

last night's show was pretty good.

I have been on the fence with Orange Casidy. Im a fan of his now.

Miro is a beast, but I just dont like his character much.

Christian match was pretty good. He's not a monster, so it'd be terrible if they'd just let him squash his opponents. Having close matches kind of fits with his persona.

I like the stables, it gives face time for guys that wouldn't normally get it. I didn't really care about QT, but the ending for that match was good, and made me invested in the story I didn't really care about.

Rest of the card was really good IMO, the womens tag match was better than I expected, mainly because I didnt' think Nyla Rose and the Bunny would be particularly good together - but it worked.
I think Tay Conti could be a star with more experience.

And the main event... got to say, I was expecting (and hoping) the Best Friends/Miro & Kip match at Revolution would be the end of the feud, but I'm glad they kept it going. I didn't expect much at all but that match was hugely entertaining and had me smiling throughout. Also really pleased Trent came back (and Sue!) and Kris Statlander is big for the Womens Division.

Oh I dont want him to be a monster, I just think a match against someone where Christian controlled more of the match would have made him look better instead of 50/50 or hell Kaz had 60/40 of that match.

I thought the main event was way too gimmicky. I said it before, AEW has to be careful with these constant stipulation or specialty matches. They fall back on them far too much.

Anyone see that Jericho is going to be on the Broken Skull Sessions with Stonecold Steve Austin?

[Tblades_17]

Anyone see where Brock Lester signed with aew?

I think i fall somwher in the middle, seems to be about average lately lol

I thought Kaz/Cage was solid, if not slightly long. Cage is never going to squash anyone, also think it was meant to feed into how long its been since hes had a match story. He looked good, but not too good, just enough to "outwork".

Allin promos are still his worst thing, but least he gets to work on them.

Idc for the continued Jade/Velvet stuff. Jade WILL be great, in time. Now not so much, especially promos.
Cody/QT was what it was and served its purpose. I had no idea who half the damn people wer at ringside though. That said, i think this is more or less just something to keep Cody busy and involved til he becomes a dad.Nick Comoroto could be something huge in the future.

Sky and Page promos were ok i guess.

Mox promo was good and somewhat squash match. Like with Comoroto, i think Bononi has promise too.

Team Tazz promo was, meh

Inner Circle beating down Pinnacle was absolutely solid. Minor gripe, how long were they waiting in the bathroom?

No idea where they are going with Callis/Bucks. That was just weird

Trios match was great, if you dont mind those matches. Plenty of action and spots.

Womens tag was ok. I agree Conti has lot of potential. Nyla didnt look as terrible as usual, but still had some rough spots.

I was cringing when they announced another BF Miro match. I was cringing even harder at the match type. Saw the set up and said omg this is going to be awful

Have to say i was definitely proven wrong!They made it fun and entertaining, Miro got to be a destroying brute, and setup few surprising returns. A+

Id give it a solid B, B-

I think Jade is great already and she is only going to get better.. I just don't know how AEW can ever sell RV can beat Jade with the size and strength difference.

I think a Jade/KS feud would be epic. KS is another female that they should be modeling the division after. She is strong and very athletic. Just don't get why they continue the Nyla Rose stuff. Its ridiculous how she is always put over.

I love Statlander. Ive said it before, AEW has the talent for a good division, its just poorly executed. Like, what happened to Leyla Hirsch? Deeb is injured, Rosa, Baker, Conti, Anna Jay, hell even Diamante if she isnt forever stuck to the black hole of negativity that is Ivelisse.

The pieces are there

[no10pin]

It seems like I always turn the channel to TNT right as Sting is standing around not being interviewed.

Is this AEW's version of putting Lana through a table every week?

[Fratboy]

J.D Drake > Darby

[DonrussDean]

The ending tonight was so predictable.. Setting up Mox and Kingston to take the Tag titles?

[cdub6238]

Not sure what happened tonight, was this a complete punt due to NXT TAKEOVERS and WM week or something? Cuz this...this was pure horse crap of a show and 1 of if not the worst in a while

Hangman Page match was full of so many bad spots and botches...

Jericho/IC promo was good, in spots and had some good zingers...but dragged on forever...

Jurassic Express and Bear country was horrible and full of botches...

Useless Team Taz promo...wtf has happened to Jake Robert's, it's like he forgot how to cut a promo...Sting segment was awful AND confusing, looked like Archer didnt know how to react...

Darby match was ok I guess...ending was a terrible clusterf*, not sure what Allie kept screaming about...

I guess Tyson saving Jericho was cool...

Why did Shida come out with Dark Order and Conti? Cuz they tagged last week? 🤔 match was decent enough...Conti has all the tools to be a star

Main Event...Moxley had to be drunk lol his hair was messed up before the match and he was acting weird the whole match...match itself was solid though.

Ending was meh..and dumb imo.

[DonrussDean]

I actually thought the show was decent.

The Sting/Archer feud is interesting on how Sting agreed with Archer and Lance seemed upset at Roberts. Plus they showing Page and Sky.

The DO/Hardy feud will prob be a match at Bloods and Guts.

Tyson is still in great shape and a bad ass.
