In my mark ass opinion they botched the suicide dive and king was supposed to fall into the coffin, but I liked the second finish more because I can believe lil Darby could beat a giant by hanging him with a steel chain
Eh I think that was the planned finish, Brody has been doing the hang Darby off the apron and choke him out thing the last few weeks so it's a callback to that. They even briefly teased him doing it again before Darby hit him with the chain, plus that whole spot seems way too complicated to call on the fly that fast.
Here's what I thought of the show
I kinda loved and kinda hated Darby and Brody. It would have been really good without the HOB-Sting thing. That really ruined the flow of what was otherwise a good match. I'm glad we got the skate related spots, I never knew how much I needed to see bloody corpse paint Brody focus a deck until it happened. The Sting pops out of the coffin spot would have been way better after the match or something, we didn't need 3 minutes of storyline gaga in the middle of the match.
I thought LFI vs Lucha Bros was predictably great. I'm a mark for 3 of the 4 guys and lucha in general so I was always going to like it though. Rush and Andrade look pretty rad in their entrance suits and masks and that stereo dive was absolutely gorgeous. Not as good as the Lucha Bros one, but still great. Not their best but a good match, even if the crowd ruined the finish. Andrade, Rush, and Dragon Lee vs the Bucks trio is gonna be amazing.
Parker Boudreau has future "speaking out" twitlonger written all over him as well.
What the fuck did they do to Nick Comorato? He shaved his beard and wears velour sweat suits and has a stupid hat and lollipop now? Who's idea was that, because it's a really fucking stupid one.
Wardlow is a goddamn star. Had my doubts but dudes killing it.
Goddamn Milfison Rayne looking really good. You can tell she taught Jade some of those spots and probably booked that match since it was very TNA, right down to the completely silent crowd for a large part of the match.
Holy shit BD vs Garcia 2/3 falls should be good.
Woah Jericho got TK to pay for Zombie for one entrance hahaha. That was an awesome match. I don't get why Mox has to bleed in every single match when he can just wrestle. Jericho is so fucking good. Can't believe he pulled all those spots off successfully and then fucking hard-way'ed himself on the turnbuckle. Dude is absolutely one of the best ever and if you disagree I'll throw a fireball in your face. If that was a PPV main event it would go down as legendary.
HOLY SHIT HE'S BACK. LET'S FUCKIN GO. Please God let this end with Max coming back at All Out now. Let's get this train back on the tracks.
Does AEW use fake blood when someone gets color? It looks too bright.
That lucha match was very underwhelming.
Garcia seems to be coming into his own cutting promos now. Anna Jay’s promos are terrible.
Miro’s promos are amazing.
Why is Nick Comoroto dressing like Billy Jack Haynes?
Billy Jack Haynes meets Die Antwoord is a solid way to describe whatever the fuck that look is.
They don't use fake blood, I doubt Tony would say no if someone wanted to do it but these guys are definitely all about gigging themselves. Moxley and Kingston barely even try to hide it when they do it and Jericho seems to just be determined to find new ways to legitimately bust his face open every match (and I'm enjoying the hell out of it). I did notice that Brodys was thick but I think that's just because he cut deep and his blood is 20% gravy.
Anna's "sucking on a lemon" face during group promos because she can't keep a straight face is as distracting to me as Adam Cole's fake stutter. I noticed it once and now it's all I see.
