AEW Double or Nothing 2021 |OT| The era of D.M.D.
- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
I agree, but on the other hand, I don't think anyone was actually blading or anything. People just get busted open during matches.
A truly spectacular finish. Tonight's winners:
Serena Deeb
Hangman Page
The Young Bucks
Jungle Boy
Cody
Miro
Britt Baker
Sting and Darby
Kenny Omega
Inner Circle
Some great stories in this list. All in all, a good PPV.
Quick match breakdown:
Deeb vs. Riho 4/5
-----
Hangman vs. Cage 4.25/5
Bucks vs. Mox and Eddie 4.25
Casino BR 2.25/5
Cody vs. Ogogo 2.5/5
Miro vs. Lance 3/5
Britt vs. Shida 2.5/5
Sting and Darby vs. Page and Sky 3.75/5
Kenny vs. PAC vs. OC 4.5/5
Stadium Stampede 4.25/5
Strong beginning and end, and a weak middle with the most notable disappointment unfortunately being Shida vs. Britt.
Lio Rush was a nice surprise, but his booking was really weird given how quickly he was eliminated. Cool to see Mark Henry, but I'm not -that- psyched to hear him on commentary, tbh. We'll see how it goes.
Overall, there were like 6 good to great matches on this show for me, and I've got plenty I want to go back to and watch again.

I think this was the best PPV they've done by far, especially the last few matches which were amazing. Only meh part was the Cody match, honestly can't believe he's still being presented as a face when everything he does screams heel
The logic of taking QT Marshall and giving him a heel push seemingly on the strength of being Cody's friend and very little else, and giving him an angle where he gets his own stable full of guys whose entire premise seems to be they feel overlooked and are being overshadowed by Cody, only to have QT and friends proceed to get their asses kicked by Cody at every opportunity, does this make sense to anyone? Everything Cody does seems so detached from the rest of AEW.
Nah, I don't think any bleeding during this PPV wasn't blading. It doesn't matter to me though, it's part of wrestling. It's just that a lot of times its pointless
Sting popping up and diving off the stage literally had me jumping. And the triple threat had me marking too. I feel so happy right now. Like a kid getting ice cream from his parents. lol
Pretty great show, only real disappointment was Britt vs Shida. Cody vs Ogogo was the piss break I expected it to be.
It's great to have a live crowd back

Cody thinks he's John Cena circa 2006 but he's actually Bo Dallas circa 2013.
Only good thing about Cody/Ogogo was Cody's theme returning and him dropping the Snoop Dog version.
Cody beating a guy who is 2-0 who has only been a wrestler for 18 months, while still making that guy look like a legitimate threat makes sense to me.
QT is a talented guy who I enjoy watching work, but there is no value in having him go over a talent who draws like Cody.
I know some people hate Cody, but if they can't deal with him going over QT and a few rookies then it just looks to me like they can't deal with him going over *anyone*.
Really feeling this. Even going back to All In, it felt like Cody's NWA title match could have been from an entirely different show in the way it was presented. It feels like his segments and matches exist in their own Codyverse right down to the 80's style tone deaf patriotism.
Been discussing it with some friends I watched the PPV with. They think Santana and Ortiz will be fine. But they will always play second fiddle to Jericho and Sammy as long as they stay in a group together I think.
I don't necessarily disagree with these points in a vacuum, but then why have the angle? Why even have QT's Family? They were losers who still look like losers.
It warms my heart seeing Eddie Kingston so over in front of so many fans. Screw you impact for having Konnan bury him.
That show was a great time. I think all of their PPVs have been good so far, but the Double or Nothing shows have been on another level. Just so satisfying across the board. So many great moments tonight, particularly because of the crowd.
I enjoyed this ppv a lot, but it was dragged down with Cody's patriotism and Baker/Shida not having the greatest chemistry. Still not over Shida loosing via submission. I hate this.
My favourite matches were Page/Cage, Kingston-Mox/YB and the world championship match.
Best part of the show was the pop for Hangman (and Eddie/Mox).

This will be put to the test for the Page/Kenny title match

No, a few people on twitter confirmed that the crowd was super into the last match on the screen and you could see the ending of the match that everyone was still there.
Some people are just passing comments as usual but it's not the case

Gotcha. That's hard to believe. Crowd was fire the whole night.
No someone in this thread mentioned that having a taped match as the Main Event sucked for the live crowd and that they would just leave to beat traffic, ignoring the fact that the kind of people that went out of their way to attend the first live crowd AEW show in over a year are probably fucking die hard and aren't going to miss the main event, even if they had to watch most of it on a jumbo tron, just to beat some traffic.
Eddie's smile when he was walking to the ring was cathartic. The camera was focused on Mox, but you could just see the emotion on Eddie.
Also.
Personally shout outs to Spears.
I really like "Unhinged sociopath chair man who really shouldn't be allowed outside" as a character trait.
