Finally got a Moxley match with no blood.

Would have been funny if Mox hardwayed himself after the match and just stood over punk and bled on him.

In my fantasy spoof wrestling Fed that I book and watch in my head, I have a character named DM Punk. He is a social media guy that sends crazy shit to his opponents via DM. All his promos end with "See you in the DM's" in a low whispery voice. It's a whole thing when other people are cutting promos and they get an alert and check their phone and its an insane message that freaks them out. Kind of a social media stalker type of thing. He would say things in his promos that allude to the fact he was watching you when you were filming your dog last tuesday and then send photos of the exact same shit his opponent posted in his story, just from a different angle (behind a bush, through a window, etc.)

If that trios match didn’t get a Meltzer 5, I’d be disappointed. Will Ospreay and Rey Felix had the best chain to open the match.

Love the Kip Sabian thing finally paid off and the crowd was into it.   

Elite vs Osprey and Co is quite the match for next week

I liked it but I'm not sure about the wisdom of doing that for the main (and again, I'm so sick of Lucha Bros/DT losing). I guess if they had done the title squash last it would have been obvious from the time left in the show but they were already pushing the "we're going to stay with these matches no matter how long they go" thing and I think you could have just had a longer afterbirth and/or the mox promo directly afterwards to close the show.

Maybe I'm nitpicking but I guess I just prefer a traditionally structured wrestling show. No matter how huge of a mark I am for the guys involved, a 6 man tag belt tournament match should not go on after a world title unification match between two of the biggest names on the card.

And yeah Ospreay is a fucking star. Him and PAC put on quite the show, they really pulled out some crazy shit. Fenix obviously had his usual show stealing spots too.

I agree - but I think for them to pull off the 5 minute match due to injury, you can’t have that going last otherwise people are going to know something’s going on due to the time.   In theory, everything going on after the unification match was there to be cut in case the world title match was a broadway.   Kind of a can’t have your cake and eat it too scenario

I was really confused when the world title match went on at 9pm.

I really hope they don't just have Punk win it back at the PPV.

MJF interfering in chicago to make Punk lose might actually start a riot.

Man I been reading a lot about the backstage drama and I guess Thunder Rosa didn't want to put Toni over and there is heat on her. She also broke Hayer's nose in there match and Hayter wanted to legit fight her backstage and Rosa hid from her. THunder could have been awesome if she knew how a mic worked.

I agree with y’all not wanting the trios match over the world title match, but it sort of makes sense as a top of the hour viewer ratings boost.

I don’t care about ratings though.

I’m all for this Sammy Eddie beef.

Yeah I agree. The mid-card placement made it obvious it would be bad, but following it up with the best match I’ve seen in a while is a much better outcome than building it up for the main event only to be crap.

I think it's one of those things where she's good enough to be an indy star but once you put her on the big stage and turn on the lights all her flaws become obvious. Didn't she have issues with Ivellise at one point too? She had chemistry with Britt at one point but shes not good enough to work through bad matches or opponents and by God there's only so much screaming and shrieking selling I can take. Just nowhere near as good as she apparently thinks she is and has that stupid "I'm a strong independent woman so I won't take any criticism" attitude that is like the worst thing you can have in wrestling.

TK dropped the ball on that one for sure and it's going to take some work to fix how badly he's fucked up his women's division. Good on him for apparently doing the right thing and sending her home though .. It's gonna be real interesting to see how fast this "back injury" clears up and she starts working Mexico. I wouldn't be surprised if they put the belt on Hayter and try to refresh things, which I'd be fine with. Hayter is pretty fucking good. Just please don't put the title saddle back on the PA Longback.

For the title match what I meant was just have it go on at the same time as the trios went on so it doesn't give anything away, do long entrances or an extended faceoff before the match to pad time, then have the 5 minute squash and fake injury gaga, then have Mox cut his promo in the ring over an "injured" Punk to close the show. Same run-time total, looks less planned,  and you get to end the show on the surprise and get everyone talking. It would have taken nothing away from the trios match and added so much to the title match.

Rampage kinda blew. Dark order vs HoB and the Miro stuff was fun but then it fell off a cliff. Wardlow squashed Dolph Zigglers brother. I muted it and did something else during the sammy match. The Dustin match was either (hopefully) the start of an angle for him or some of the worst superman booking I've seen in a long time. Claudio needs a new theme bad. You've got this 6'6 muscle god and you have him coming out to some wimpy 90s anime theme sounding shit? He's not Jushin Liger.

Actually makes sense with how much worky-shooty through the media stuff they seem to be doing. Like if you wanted to get the smarky AEW fans to hate Punk, having him oppose Page and be a "locker room cancer" is definitely a good way to do it. It is pretty suspect that these issues seem to keep cropping up a week or two before PPVs and seem to tie directly into the on-screen storylines.

The theory I've seen posited and seems to be the most likely on paper (which means least likely to actually happen) is that Max is going to be the joker in the Casino ladder match and win that, then have him cash in after punk has a long, grueling match against Moxley to win the belt back. I really don't care what they do as long as it involves MJF and a Chicago crowd that wants to kill him.

Its interesting that one finalist of the trios tourney is either dark order or best friends. It almost makes me think they're going to do the Elite vs Dark Order and make everyone think it's a foregone conclusion then put the belts on DO. If it somehow elevates 10 I'm down for it and it'll definitely engender some goodwill from the fans.

Apparently Takeshita is moving to the US so obviously Tony is gonna sign him. Gotta collect em all after all. Let's hope it goes better than when ROH brought in that chubby japanese guy that was supposed to be the next Terry Gordy. Dude can wrassle good but you kinda have to put a manager with him or give him a stable or something. I have a bad feeling he's gonna end up as  AEW nakamura/male Shida where they'll give him a push and run with a belt then have no fucking idea what to do with him and he'll just have bangers on dark every week.

I think 10 gets work injured and Page replaces him in the finals.   He’s coming along nicely though

Sets up the possibility for Page to do what Roddy Strong did when joining the Undisputed Era, but unlikely since Elite aren’t really positioned as heels at the moment.

That also makes perfect sense, they were working a knee injury angle on 10 last match so you might have picked up the scent there. I like it. Gonna guess they do the injury in the finals? They should make it the result of a Danhausen curse haha. I would almost rather they replace Reynolds since he's a black hole of charisma but that would really fuck things up for Silver and even though I hate how over he's gotten I have a soft spot for that little muscle pervert.

Its gonna be an interesting go home show for sure.

OH SHIT!!! IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!

In all seriousness, I watched NXT last night and it wasn't terrible. The go home show for When Worlds Collide actually made me want to watch the PPV, even more than I care to watch Clash at The Castle. I like Tyler Bate. All the main roster cameos were done well and the women's tag team champs are quite good in the ring and have some creative tandem moves. And their gimmick is shaking their ass? I'm fucking in.

I told myself I would give Hunter a chance, even though wifey rolled her eyes at me and said "you know where I stand with this." HAHAHAHA

The open contract thing is pretty lazy but whatever, it was a shitty ride but were there. Audible MJF chants during the Moxley segment. I wonder if Vince was flipping channels and heard "this is Chicago, where we kill and eat the weak" and thought to himself "well that's just human instinct pal, especially the ones in wheelchairs."

Can't wait to hear the twitter and reddit marks whine about Punk body shaming a fan too.

Hayter got absolutely spiked on her head on a rana. She's really taking her licks lately. Really hope they have the balls to put the belt on her to kinda reset the division but I feel like it'll be Toni.

Was nice seeing a pretape interview package with JR. I wonder if they're gonna move away from the Jungle Boy name and just make him Jack Perry for his inevitable push.

Damn Cass looks good. Bononi is a huge dude and he looked small next to him. I don't think I like calling him W. Morrissey but maybe it'll grow on me. I like the look and general vibe though.

Seems like a waste to do the hangman reveal like that. Could have been a huge pop at the PPV. They just really wanted to try and pop a rating for rampage huh?

I don't get the Wheeler Yuta hype. He's not awful but there's way better people to push. I guess Tony just identifies with the weak sounding geeky guy?

Main event was predictably awesome even if they got sloppy at the end. Omega and Ospreay still have that incredible chemistry with each other, if they do end up bringing in Ospreay full time that has to be the first feud. I don't think I've ever seen a stalled double superplex like that before. Was nice to see Kenny at something approaching 100% again too.

Got a lil fucked up at a soccer game, but what an episode of wrasslin. Main event blew me away and I've seen just about every omega match and most of the YB matches (not a brag I'm a fecking nerd) some of the best I've seen since Omega vs Okada.

If he hadn't narrowly missed the shooting star indy-taker thing Ospreay would have been damn near flawless in that match which is insane given the degree of difficulty in some of those spots. Those in-air transitions and position switches were slicker than the analog sticks on your ps4 controller when you forget to wash your hands after whackin it. I can't help but think of prime AJ when I watch him right now.

Edit: thought I was having weird deja vu watching that match and I was... 2016 pwg haha

https://twitter.com/i/status/1565208716802109440

I've probably watched most of the bucks AEW work but only the big stuff from overseas. I have to admit that I do occasionally enjoy a TNA generation me match or their goofy PWG/chikara style indy stuff as well. Omega I've seen a lot of highlights but I've only watched the full Okada and Naito matches from overseas recently. I did get into him briefly during his cleaner run but I didn't stick with it very long. I like watching speedo twink Omega/Ibushi matches sometimes too but it's hard to find English commentary ones.

Since I know Kenny's your boy, have you ever seen the super eyepatch wolf video about wrasslin? Its very good overall albeit maybe a bit basic for marks like us but the last 10 minutes are about the Golden Lovers and its captivating.

Apparently Bobby Fish has been released. He's definitely been there less than a year so I feel like he either asked for it or did something fucked up backstage. Hopefully O'Reilly isn't far behind.

Incredible main event. Terrible finish that no doubt will have been a massive kick in the nuts to the crowd that I don't think can be fixed by Tyson Fury singing. I guess in hindsight though Drew wasn't going to win, but they probably should've just had Roman win clean.

As much as I like Drew, I think that was the right choice. You can't end a title reign like this at a one-off PPV for a slightly pandering hometown hero pop. You almost have to do it at mania and I just don't think Drew is a big enough star for it to work at the moment anyways. I know it's repetitive but they've booked themselves into a corner and it's going to take time to clear the Vince stench out build a believable opponent.

Twitter marks seem to think it's going to be the Rock at mania and that has to be the absolute worst idea I've ever heard. Yeah.. Let's put the most important belt in wrestling on an old, roided up, injury plagued movie star who hasn't had a proper match in a decade....im sure that would turn out great. 

I think Cody in a grand "fulfilling my father's destiny" storyline is probably the best person right now. This is pure fantasy booking but if they somehow got Dustin out of his contract and had him make a surprise return to nullify the bloodline and allow Cody to win I would mark out so hard. I would also be down with Bray coming back and winning but they better have an actual plan for where to go from there if they do that. And if almost rather it be just bray and not the fiend and his papa shango tribute act.

Roman vs Rock would be amazing but you’re right that Rock shouldn’t go over. I don’t know where they’d go from there because of the age old WWE problem of not having any credible opponents, but with Vince gone I don’t think that will be as much of a problem. HHH has plenty of time to start building people for after that.


Haven’t seen last week’s Dynamite yet but I do not understand what’s going on. I figured the world title squash was because Punk was going to be out for longer than they thought so it was a way to write him off and can the interim thing, but now he’s back already. Why advertise Punk vs Mox at All Out, then hastily change it to a TV match, then do it at All out anyway? I’m hoping there’ll be a payoff tonight but I’m getting increasingly less confident in TK’s booking, it’s getting so erratic

Punk heel turn.   

Word is that they were doing all this to build more of a story than just two guys wrestling.   I think it’s spiced it up a little.   I’ll admit that the build up hasn’t been the best for the PPV, but it’s not like this company can’t put on a good wrestling show

Oh I'd be absolutely down to see Roman vs Rock in a stone cold vs Owens type spectacle match, but there is no way in hell Rocky should win that match. Not in 2022.

The buildup for All Out has been messy at best for sure. If it pays off then I'm sure all will be forgiven but it's been the worst booking stretch I've seen since I started watching for sure. It's gonna be another one of those “5 hours of spot fest matches" so it'll be entertaining if nothing else but I'd rather have cohesive storylines than a bunch of 5 star 25 minute epics back to back. And if the booking isn't working don't just try to stuff it down people's throats week after week... adapt.

Speaking of which... I'm watching the pre-show now and they just had Sammy and Tay go over Ruby and Ortiz. Straight go away heat. Also hilarious that they had Action Bronson make an appearance and he arguably had better ring presence just doing a couple spots than Hook did in the whole match. It was pretty good though.

Still hoping for the best but if they don't bring Max back or make meaningful changes I'm going to start losing interest again. It's too chaotic and unfocused, they just keep bringing in more people rather than using the ones they have. Obviously Punk is going to get a huge reaction in Chicago no matter what but I honestly think this show could have a huge influence on the future of the company. Especially with the fed actually putting out somewhat a compelling product again. AEW have a pretty fucking stellar batting average on PPVs though.

Let's go boys

Ok Fenix's frog splash made me actually clap and get giddy but that was not a good way to start the show. Fucking awful, TNA level booking.

Almost positive that wasn't MJF? The mannerisms were all wrong. Ricky Starks maybe? Either way feels like a really dumb way to book it unless they pay it off tonight. I don't think I'd want a Stokely/MJF stable anyways. He's too good to have a bunch of jobbers around him.

Haha I loved that, that sort of shit is what I enjoy about wrestling. It seemed like MJF to me, I think he’ll reveal himself in the main event. Coming back to join Stokely’s group seems weird, but remember MJF is never on his own. He always has other people to protect him and do his bidding while he rarely wrestles. He’s been getting Stokely to recruit a group for him while he’s been away. Or it’s someone else IDK

During sex to prevent myself from ejaculating I think about Osama Bin Laden running my dick through a sewing machine.

It makes sense but it just looked off to me when he was climbing the ladder. Plus half the people who've ever been to an indy wrestling school wipe their feet before they get in the ring. It's one of those weird things you don't usually notice but it's supposed to be a respect thing. I don't like the booking either way, seems way overdone and ruins the ladder match. Just have the music hit and bring him out, we don't need the spirit halloween runway show.

I usually hate crowds getting themselves over but I had to crack up at the "oh, scissor me daddy" chant there.

Edit: OK nevermind they ruined the match.

Meh I don’t really care about the ladder match. The IWC has been fucking insufferable over the last few weeks, I’ve kinda checked out and it’s nice just enjoying things at face value because I haven’t spent hours speculating about everything. I’ll judge based on where they go next.

Is it me or is this PPV dragging quite a bit. That tag match went on for about a week.

Oh man you're done for now with a 4 way womens match for an interim belt haha. I'm taking the opportunity to smoke a joint and eat something. Hayter and Storm are good but I can't do a full 5 hours of wrestling.

I was into the tag match even if Bowens just gave up on selling his knee halfway through. The crowd got me into it then ruined it. Fucking Chicago crowds are both the best and worst thing about wrestling. Bunch of marks more worried about getting themselves over than the story being told. Yeah Lee was a little late on the breakup but it was pretty obvious what was supposed to happen. I get that the acclaimed are over but you didn't have to shit on the post match respect segment.
