2, Julia as the new Supreme of the House of Black
3, Bunny, Abadon, and Julia as a trios

I legit wanted The Righteous to win ;__;
5 0 ReplyYeah, I'm a little disappointed they lost clean too.
EDIT: Clean's the wrong word. I guess I was expecting more shenanigans leading to an MJF win
5 0 ReplyLost clean? Every big moment in the match was MJF cheating including using the ropes for leverage on the pin.
5 0 ReplySame, in hindsight the match is weird to think about. I guess the ROH Tag Titles are more important to the story
4 0 ReplySame here. Would have really established them as a force to go over the champ.
4 0 ReplyI can't believe there were no shenanigans in that match

This match has felt really dangerous. I feel like every other spot has me expecting someone to go out on a stretcher...
5 0 ReplyI was surprised Kota didn't. Looked like he landed on his head pretty hard.
3 0 ReplyI have it on good authority that that is how he gets out of bed, too.

Posted this early so people can see the early start time (6:30 ET / 3:30 PT).
5 0 ReplyThis show gonna fuck.
5 0 ReplyFor real. I was a bit suspicious when it was announced, but there really are several huge dream matches. And with Tony's hype, who knows what else will happen? Edge appearance? Mercedes Mone? A complete let down?
5 0 ReplyAEW doesn't consistently build PPVs but I never feel like a show is going to suck. If anything I feel it's always guaranteed to deliver.
Especially hyped for that 4 way tag just for the chaos

slept all day so i could stay up to watch this live don't let me down, tony :3
5 0 ReplyGreat idea. I'm about to try and get a quick nap in before showtime.

That was a fucking great TBS championship match. I think my favorite women's match in quite a while.
5 0 ReplySeriously. Those two knocked it outta the park.
4 0 Reply
Taz in top form. Love it.
5 0 ReplyWhy does Statlanders reign feel like what a babyface women's world champ would be
4 0 ReplyAgreed. She fits the Babyface mold really well. And she's great at elevating her opponents too. First Jade now Julia.
3 0 ReplyCos she should be the world champ.
Just give me Stat vs Hayter every week. I don't need no 5 star classics, etc.

Don with his own last dinner, sounds like a narcissistic ego maniac to me
4 0 ReplySomeone in the crowd is holding a sign that is just Nishiki's face (from the yakuza video game series) and trying to figure out why is making me crazy.
4 0 ReplyThank you! I couldn't work out how or why I knew that face.

Damn Mox is killing it on commentary.
4 0 ReplyYeah, he's pretty much doing play by play and color at the same time.
4 0 Reply
This match fucks.
4 0 ReplyOne of my favourite matches in a while. Hopefully there'll be a sequel.
3 0 Reply
So FTR are definitely winning tonight.
We get Young Bucks vs FTR 4 at some point
Classic AEW chaotic style of match.
4 0 ReplyYeah my money was on the Bucks. They gotta avenge their loss at All In.

Is Caster wearing an MJF shirt? lol
4 0 ReplyHe was on dynamite too. No one can deny some Max on Max loving.

So fucking hyped, AEW are on an absolute tear right now.
4 0 Replydarby really pressed the left on the controller to change direction on the turnbuckle
4 0 ReplyI love you Nigel but it's pronounced Christian not Christy-on lol
4 0 Reply"The pay per view hasn't even started yet! We gave you that shit for free!"
Mox killing it again
4 0 ReplyAs slimy as he is, Don is a great manager for his family
4 0 ReplyYay! Mox is here!
Glad he's well enough to travel. Can't wait to see him back in the ring!
4 0 ReplyYeah the fact he can travel is a good sign. Hopefully he isn't out too long.

MJF is a true white meat scumbag babyface brother
4 0 ReplyI'm shocked at what a great face MJF is. Just shows how he has everyone, including me, eating out of the palm of his hand.

Nice stalling suplex by Tito
4 0 ReplyLove a good stalling suplex.

Holy shit, the Last Supper painting for the Don Callis family...
4 0 ReplyGreat, now I can't get the visual of JR scissoring someone out my head...
4 0 ReplyPost show thoughts:
The show was worth the price on the BD vs ZSJ match alone.
MJF absolutely went full scumbag to retain against The Righteous and I'm all for it. #OurScumbag
Kingston vs Shibata did not disappoint.
Julia Hart vs Statlander was awesome. Getting REAL tired of the "one women's match" stuff, though.
I swear Darby is made of fucking rubber. Darby... don't die. Please.
I love hating Carny Piece of Shit, and his family.
Fucking seriously, BD vs ZSJ was a masterclass of a match. Watch it however you can.
Son of the Year, Nick Wayne.
Battle of the Adams! Page vs Cole vs Copeland. Book it, Tony!
4 0 Replydarby is collecting legend dads like i collect pokemon
4 0 ReplyZSJ is a monster in the ring
Danielson is a perfect partner for him in the ring. That match was a technical banger
3 0 ReplyAn absolute clinic. I wanna watch it again right now lol

ON THIS DAY
3 0 ReplyLEDGE IS ALL ELITE!
3 0 ReplyThe madman actually did it!!
3 0 ReplyOf course the Gunn Boys try using the Outlaw rule
3 0 ReplyHangman sucks chants? This really is Swerve's house
3 0 ReplyWTF Darby
3 0 ReplyUnfortunate for Mark Davis, he just came back
3 0 ReplyYeah, hopefully he's not hurt bad

I'm rooting for Father of the Year Christian Cage
3 0 Reply😂😂😂 Darby is the perfect Sting successor
3 0 ReplyAustin: Who's an ass boy now bitch!
Crowd: You!
lmao
3 0 ReplyI laughed so damn hard at that. Great crowd in Seattle last night.

Those stair spots looked brutal.
3 0 Reply🕺🕺🕺 Nana is extra hype tonight
3 0 ReplyI wish he kept dancing in the background like a mascot in 2K lol
3 0 Reply😂😂😂 Looks like you got your wish

I didn't feel like buying this one. Too many shows for me. Did I miss out?
3 0 ReplyYeah you did. I get it, there have been a lot of PPVs lately, but this was probably the wrong one to skip.
4 0 ReplyIMO it's been pretty solid so far. Hangman/Swerve and Hart/Statlander were great.
EDIT: the Danielson/ZSJ match is must see.
4 0 ReplyYeah, really solid and no regrets buying it, but don't know if I'd describe any of the matches as a must watch, but would highly recommend watching all of them. Hart/Stat and Page/Swerve particularly. And MJF vs the Righteous was just a great time. I think some of that vibe is most of the stories were built so fast I don't have the investment in them to give them the extra star.
Edit: to be fair to me, I wrote the above comment before the Danielson match and that was my mistake. Anyone who didn't buy this def missed out.

A true war of attrition for Hangmans "spot"
3 0 ReplyDefinitely. That was an insane match. Holy shit.

Damn, Tony doesn't believe in washroom breaks 😂
3 0 ReplyAt All In you basically had to sprint to the loos when the bell went at the end of a match, and then back again to be in your seat before the video package was done. I feel sorry for anyone who didn't have a pre-PPV-2.
1 0 Reply
Anyone catch what ZSJ said there?
3 0 ReplyThe end of that match looked like a day care lol There was chaos everywhere.
3 0 ReplyMox in smaller doses and less aloof would be good on commentary but I'm glad he's done for the night
3 0 Replysilly question but why can christian be christian but edge can't be edge elsewhere?
2 0 ReplyI think it's the fact that Christian added 'Cage' to his name. I could be wrong though.
1 0 ReplyEdge Cage When?!
1 0 Reply
Great PPV, really enjoyed it.
Bryan vs ZSJ was incredible, and Kingston/Shibata made me wince more times than I can remember.
Stat/Hart was great, but Stat really needed to lose so she can move up to the Women's World Championship and take it off Saraya. This programme has made Hart, I'm so impressed with her development.
