All Elite Wrestling discussion Thread

my review of revolution-

it started really well with a great pre show match, Maki Itoh was the first surprise wrestler of the night and i would say the best surprise shes going to be a huge star in the next few years, i can see now why AEW where pushing her so much on the womans matches from Japan in the last few weeks,
was a classic face v heel match was very fun everyone got to do some good moves and worked well together, Rebel was meant to be injured but was faking it she knocked out Rosa with her crush for Baker to get the win, a fun match

match 1 AEW Tag Team Championship Match: The Young Bucks vs. Chris Jericho and MJF
this was an OK match with out being great, Jericho and MJF threw everything they had at the Bucks Jericho baseball bat and Wardlow geat them, but the bucks made the big babyface comeback sadly after not selling enough they knocked out MJF with lots of super kicks before wining the match with the Meltzer pile driver ( to get the extra half a star when the rates are out on thursday lol ) this title run is still not exciting me,

match 2 Tag Team Casino Royale
i am not a fan of matches with so many men in they are always messy and hard to follow, all the complex rules AEW added only made it harder to follow, i mean its a tag match but when 1 person was elimination should lead to the departure of the team turning it into a solo match made no scene they where trying to hard to be different to the wwe,
in the match the Marshall turn heel and feud with Dustin Rhodes which i first spoted starting a couple of months back finally started proper
John Silver and Alex Reynolds where the best team and should get a shot,
Jungle Boy was the star and showed he was better than being in this type of match,

match 3 AEW Women's World Championship Match: Hukaru Shida vs. Ryo Mizunami
this was a good match it was a proper old school hard hitting Japanese match you dont see women in the usa hitting each other that hard often,
i didn't know any of the back story how 5 years ago Ryo had destroyed Shida, and aew did a good job of explaining why the match meant so much to Shida , it was the best win Shida has had as champ,
after the match Nyla Rose, Vickie Guerrero, Britt Baker and Rebel attacked Shida before Rosa made the save,
8 out of 10

match 4 Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor vs. Miro and Kip Sabian
this was a glorified squash match thats had to points to make Miro look a star and to start to split him away from Kip it did both these things, in the end Miro looked a level above everyone else in the match,
6 out of 10

match 5 Big Money Match: Hangman Page vs. Matt Hardy
this was a very good match from 2 good workers who told the story very well it was the best wrestling match of the night,
everything in the story made sense having Dark Order to make the save when Private Party got involved, having Page get the win and finally start the comeback i hope he joins the dark order now, been a long time coming this match for him,
8 out of 10

match 6 Face of the Revolution Ladder Match for a Future TNT Championship Opportunity
the big surprise was All Ego Ethan Page making his aew debut he was great as tag champ on impact in his year long run and they way hes so good a promo can only help aew in story telling,
the match was good Cody played at being John Cena for the night, Page looked good introduced him self well to the new fans, Penta looked a 1000 times better than on dark the day before, Caster took big bumps doing his job, and Archer was protected so came out of the match looking like an unstoppable badass still,
it was great to see Sky get the win as its been a long build up on dark to this point so nice to see it pay off, my one worry is as Allin is not going to drop the belt what they do with him maybe work with Cody for a bit,
8 out of 10 better than i expected

next Captain Charisma Christian Cage was announced as the big signing (called it lol) i will be interested to see how they use the former WWE, ECW, NWA world champ,

match 7 Street Fight: Sting and Darby Allin vs. Brian Cage and Ricky Starks
i really like cinematic wrestling but i do get that just as many hate it,
for me this was a creative masterpiece like a little movie,
they totally hid Stings physical shortcomings and made him look a star,
every one looked really good,
Allin's Coffin Drop late in the match was jaw-dropping, some of the other bumps he took where mad,
Cage looked amazing for the stair-climbing vertical suplex spot so strong,
that was the comeback Sting wanted he looked good, the right team won in sting and Allin

main event Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match for the AEW World Championship
this was bad a shambles from start to its piss poor ending
there death match in November 2019 at Full Gear was much better and in trying to out do that it just looked stupid,
the ring not exploding at the end made the whole of aew look tin pot,
i hated it 0 out of 10

it was a slow start but between matches 3 and 7 it was a very good PPV sadly they had the worst main event i ever seen, they got a huge job to do on wednesday to explain the mess and get the fans back on side,

I see a AEW PPV for the first time well bits of it anyway , kinda enjoyed what i watched missed the main matches tho Kenny Omega Vs Jon Moxley and Sting's return and i have to say what a shit surprise it was it being Christian got my hopes up for nothing I was hoping it would be a signing that took AEW to the next level i got disappointed with AEW just like with WWE with there surprise entrants in the royal rumble or no entrants.

Don't worry guys this is the 12 months of Christian he will be in ROH next month.

(08-03-2021 11:37 )winsaw Wrote:  The main event was beyond embarrassing , one of the worst I have ever seen, , they got everything wrong, why end the match with the good brothers doing an over long beat down on mox it made Kenny look week and mox look like a jobber, the having Kingston sell the fireworks at the end like it was a big explosion was so sad took away all his bad ass and made him look like a fool,
I mean all they had to do was have a big bang and the ring collapse it so simple how they not do it, and worse Tony is now on twitter saying it's all an angel and it happened like planed lol bull shit just admit the explosion didn't work as planned trying to spin it into an angel that Kenny didn't know how to build an exploding ring is so poor they need to stop digging the hole,
Not sure how they come back from this it was wcw 2000s bad

I mean the 'Kenny doesn't know how to rig a bomb for shit' narrative they are pushing would make more sense if the commentary team weren't trying to sell it as the biggest explosion known to man! Plus it buries Eddie Kingston for playing dead lol Mox's promo after it went off air didn't help either. It was shit just own it and move on.

Yeah I agree with you winsaw the main event with moxley and omega was hit miss similar to impact wrestling barbwire masscare a couple of months ago really pissed off the good brothers had to get involved I have a feeling they may have another fight once moxley is back from becoming a dad and hopefully no interference and we will get to see who actually is the better man

WWE are pushing William Regal making big announcements for NXT - you can bet these might actually BE worth the hype, or else an excuse to rib Tony Khan.

watched dark this morning here is what happened

only 11 matches this week

Angel Fashion vs. Will Hobbs(W) - Hobbs weekly squash match 5 out of 10

SCU(W) vs. Azriel & Danny Limelight - SCU looked really good hit some nice moves 6 out of 10

Peter Avalon, Cezar Bononi, & Ryan Nemeth (W)vs. Aaron Solow, Brick Aldridge, & Dean Alexander - thank god the pretty people wrestle some one different a easy win for them 6 out of 10

Baron Black vs. Lee Johnson(W) - match of the night, was booked as a proper back and forth match both got to do a lot of moves the action was hard and fast both had lots of skill on show i wish more of dark was like this, 8 out of 10

Aaron Frye, D3, Jon Cruz, & Vary Morales vs. Colt Cabana, Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, & Alex Reynolds(W) - dark orders weekly easy win 6 out of 10

Fuego Del Sol vs. QT Marshall(W) - we where told that this is a match because of action happening on Sammy Guevara’s vlog as i dont watch that it didn't make much sense to me match was ok 4 out of 10

Kip Sabian(W) vs. Carlie Bravo - easy squash win for Kip 6 out of 10

Abadon(W) vs. Katalina Perez easy win for Abadon i dont like her 4 out of 10

Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela vs. Santana & Ortiz(W) - a good main event lots of big moves and very hard hitting action, Santana & Ortiz looked the best they have in ages it was a close match that made it fun as it could have gone ever way, 7 out of 10

as usual to many nothing squash matches, there where only 4 matches that where worth watching,

Just see Christian's TNA debut a couple days ago on youtube and i just realised AEW copied exactly the same thing TNA done it was held as a surprise,he had the same entrance music and not only that they done the 10 to 1 countdown so if you catched on to that which i didn't because i didn't watch his debut in TNA at the time you would of realised it was him.

So yeah your right Khan is a dick to think that was a surprise when they copied exactly the same thing TNA done.

Aew is tna just with a bigger budget and less talented wrestlers... kurt angle will sign next, they are even signing people in the same order only 15 years later lol

Does it annoy you guys when the AEW wrestlers keep doing the middle finger because it sure as hell annoys me , yeah we get you ain't PG like WWE but you don't have to prove it all the time , yeah do it sometimes i don't mind but they seem to do it all the time.
