Darby on Dressen Rose's or was it one of those Powell Peraltas with the aboriginal art style?
Great 4 way match, I popped huge for the mentors finisher spot, and the ending was well done too
It was flat as a 2x4 so I assumed Powell. When they did the Elvis skit he holds it up sideways for a second and there's zero nose or concave to be seen. It kinda looked like he almost ate shit dropping in on his entrance too haha.
I haven't been watching for a while so I wasn't really invested emotionally and it was the worst AEW ppv I've seen so far. Not sure if it was how they mic'ed it or my new TV or what but the crowd sounded dead most of the night and the card was pretty weak to begin with.
Surprisingly my highlight of the night was Statlander. There's a loud contingent of people complaining about how there was no storyline.. Did they miss the build they were doing before she got hurt? Like I know it was delayed by 9 mos but they basically just unpaused that storyline and finished it. I went nuts when she came out and their little match was enough to get me excited for a feud. The rematch should be the female equivalent of a beef battle.Taya looked better than I expected too.
Still sick of FTR but I enjoyed the TNA guys and Mark Briscoe. It's a little silly but they're dedicated to the schtick and I'll go to my grave saying that more people need to acknowledge how good Lethal is.
The casino battle royales always just remind me of how much unused talent is on the roster. Penta vs Big Bill was sick though. I'd pay to see that match.
Cole and Jericho was pretty terrible but seeing sabu do the old man belly flop through a table got a pop out of me.
House of Black match was good. Brody King is one of my favorite workers at the moment. Everything looks brutal.
4 way match was no bueno for me. It was paint by numbers Indy spots one after another and not even MJF could rescue it, though his timing and chicken shit heel work was great as usual.
The rest of it ranged from meh to wtf (Arnibal Lecter) to insufferable for me. I turned the main event off after 5 minutes of that awful wild thing cover from the dude in the blackface mask. Literally couldn't take it anymore and didn't bother finishing the ppv.
