I would hope they would have more respect for him than to involve him in that angle which might be the worst of the last 10 years
Heh. I know what you mean.
There's something about wearing OC's shirt that just makes me feel chill.
Hahaha that was amazing. It's like o yeah shit cutting a promo.
Damn at that death rider. Looking forward to watching WK in a bit even though I've spoiled the results for myself. LOL
After watching the first night of WK - and I acknowledge this is really good wrestling - but it brings to mind something I've brought up before about AEW that I like. They've done a really good job protecting finishers. The big match NJPW template of kicking out of crazy move after crazy move, finisher after finisher gets really tiring for me. I know I'm probably a minority opinion on that, but it gets to a certain point where I start to tune out and the finish of the match just seems random. I think the Young Bucks matches tend to have that element and I tend to lose interest in them too. But in general it's been a rare occurrence in AEW, and they've done a good job too of where if the standard stuff doesn't end the match, there's a logical escalation that does (eg Moxley doing his finisher off the top rope, or on to the exposed wooden boards).
Yeah, NJPW match finishes are easy to tune out of especially when it's a counter fest. They usually have it so each of the top guys have a unprotected version of their finisher that can take down midcard guys and top guys can kick out of and the protected that you rarely. if ever, see top guys kick out.
I agree. I actually wish that the finishers in AEW were even more protected. I know no one has kicked out of the OWA in any of the major promotions, and no one kicks out of the Meltzer's Driver, but I have a problem with people kicking out of things like the Penta Driver and the armbreaker. Or even the Cross Rhodes.
Ibushi kicked out of the One Winged Angel, unless you don't consider NJPW a "major promotion".
Tanahashi please beat Jericho and bring AEW and NJPW together.
AEW is really lacking in mid-tier stars. And them choosing to let Kenny and the Bucks keep losing don't help either.
Really miss Kenny in NJPW, so many storylines possible for Kenny instead of a Adam Page heel turn in AEW lol. There is The Dark Order too. The worst stable in wrestling right now.

When did he kick out of it in NJPW? Ibushi kicked out of it in DDT.
Eh, I'm fine with finisher kick outs at major shows. Doesn't get bigger than WK. Now if you're doing it on a weekly show, I'm upset.
I'm fine with it sparingly. I think my issue is that the big matches all seem to follow the same formula.
Pretty sure the only people who had their finishers kicked out of were Okada and Naito. Who usually have their finishers kicked out of anyway.
Was gonna say -- wasn't the big deal in Osperay's match that he couldn't get it off on Himoru? He always did something to get out of it.
I thought he did in their G1 match but I just rewatched it, I remembered wrong.
Near as I can tell, Ospreay never hit the Stormbreaker. Hiromu did hit his original finisher the Time Bomb and Ospreay kicked out, but he had a new finish now.
Darby kicked out of the Cross Rhodes this week. Was legit surprised he kicked out since yeah AEW tends to protect finishers.
Interesting to see that Mox won the NJPW US Title last night and successfully defended it tonight. He's got his next program lined up with Suzuki... So looks like Mox will continue on with NJPW for a while
AEW need to unload some of Kahn's millions on a guy that can successfully balance the audio for 2 hours a week. How is it still a problem?
Those IMPACT production snipes they made last minute in late September really panning out how we should have expected, huh?
I wonder if WWE has the same contract policy for production as they do the roster.
Listening to the audio on AEW+ on Fite is a totally different audio experience than TNT. It's pretty obvious it's a broadcast issue from TNT, but I'm not really sure what they're doing wrong.
Holy shit that 4 way Women's Championship match was awesome.
Put this belt on Shida, please!!!!
Put this belt on Shida, please!!!!
Every match on last week's Dynamite was great and the main event probably had the most impressive action, but the women's match was my favorite. Give me an extended Shida vs Nyla program because they're magic together.
Shame Jericho won but, I think this was the beginning of good will between NJPW and AEW at some point. Coming out with the belt and using it in the promo for the match is a far cry from a few months ago where the heads of New Japan said don't talk or ask about AEW.
Edit: Ment to say won. Long night lol

I mean, it's fucking great for NJPW because am AEW partnership gives them inroads into the US market. I thi k their fear was that AEW with a lot of NJPW talent was a threat to that, but it's purely additive. Exposing the Golden Lovers story to the US market is a sure fire way to get people invested in NJPW.
AEW also benefits because it makes AEW appear to be a major player worldwide and gives it something unique that WWE lacks.
Hopefully they get it together and the bullet club comes to punish the elite for leaving NJPW and we get a fire hot angle.
I used my payed subscription for NordVPN, had no luck with a few fre VPNs I tried (one was Tunnelbear).
Maybe someone else had luck.

Seeing the AEW belt at Wrestle Kingdom was pretty cool. I'm glad they're starting to at least consider working together, even if it might not happen for a while yet.
