All Elite Wrestling |OT8| Anxious Millennial Cowboy Champion

- Mox vs Yuta was a fun opener and it's nice to see Yuta getting more on TV.
- An intriguing post match segment between Mox and Bryan. I'd really love them to actually do what Bryan proposed but I'll "settle" for Mox and Bryan feuding.
- Ruby vs Nyla was better than I expected. Having a crowd that cares about women matches really helps when watching womens matches. Nyla getting the win again makes me think we are building up heel challengers for future champ Rosa.
- Jericho has to go full heel again, he can have a legit gripe but he has to be the asshole in this one. The crowd will still chant for him anyway. Either way I repeat what I said last week let's just get PnP on their own again, heel, face, it don't matter
- I wanted more talking from Jake. I get it. They're probably taking it easy with him after Covid and I'm guessing that's why Lambert is still awkwardly part of the act, just in case things go south. I'm not a fan of ignoring the rankings here but outside of actual wins, they've built up Archer the best they can in what little time they've given themselves to do this match.
- Would've been cool if PAC had lasted longer in the blindfold but hey ho. Solid match. I expected more tbh. The ending at least gives them opportunity to run it back. I feel like the House of Black should be groomed to be the next tag champions and after that you finally go with PnP.
- Fantastic PPV level match from Punk and MJF. I don't know how long they went officially but just like the first Hangman-Bryan match I never got bored, they carefully paced out their big moves and spots to keep this long match interesting. Actually yelled out holy shit at the Pepsi Plunge. The two ways MJF beat Punk were so damn good, the first one was just classic pro-wrestling ending with Bryce getting sick of MJF and pushing him into a roll up. LOL @ Bryce later calling MJF a moron. And then the second screw job with the post match reveal *chef kiss*.
- I am sad that neither Jade or HOOK are booked for Rampage.
- But I feel blessed that we get more Starks on Friday.

He could bring his wife in and have her cut a promo about America and liberals.
I forgot to note it but someone threw something at Mox while he was walking through the crowd, they cut away as he turned to look for whoever did it.
Anyone got any theories for the more recent rise in assholes in AEW crowds suddenly feeling untouchable?

I could see Danielson getting frustrated with Mox saying no - making a match for Revolution - then Danielson having backup during that match in the form of someone like Punk or Joe (if he's interested/available)
I don't think Julia is joining HoB.
No-one else who has been sprayed has, I think it was just done to give her a reason to show another side of her, she's not going heel, she's just always been the smiley happy cheerleader, the spraying and bickering between the Blondes just gave her a character a reason to show more emotional range, which she'll need when she goes solo again or gets a big push. A good idea tbh if that's what it is, not everything has to lead to something major, it's still important character development for someone that needs it.

A couple of incredible, incredible, goosebumps moments last night. Sure, it bookended a bit of crap I really didn't care for, but the implications of Danielson publically airing a dream-booking scenario at the start of the show, and MJF defeating Punk soundly in his home town at the end, left me so excited. One of the best episodes of the year so far.
MJF has to be Hangman's next opponent, right? You don't have this huge momentum and not use it. I think Hangman will retain, regardless, but we might actually be looking at Wardlow screwing MJF at the PPV...

They're (or they think they are, or it's what they want to be) the Cena or Reigns of the show. Their characters believe they are the heroes of the show, but everybody knows this is not the case. That's why it feels so removed from the rest of the product.
Easily the best part of the show last night, Danielson could sell me a bag of shit and I'd happily take it.
Reading back through the thread, I get the panic for a potential PVZ-Brandi PPV match but I think they're gonna repeat the Shaq match.
Pair Cody up with Brandi (the original plan for that match) and face PVZ & ??? on some Dynamite.

At this point that could be anyone. Lambert is all over the place.
It was delivered as someone who knew they were getting booed anyway and was just going through the motions. Certainly when the crowd was chanting shut the fuck up and she goaded them in to starting back up, things just fell apart.
Compare this to when (was it?) Ethan Page was getting even louder What chants and he shut them up with masterful delivery.
If Brandi is doing this on purpose then they've failed to understand that intentional go away heat is still go away heat.
If she's not doing this on purpose then, jesus Tony, get her the fuck off TV.
Last night was awesome and all but can we get more Yuta Wheeler? What a great showing from him last night.
Maybe Archer/PVZ vs Cody/Brandi? would explain why Lambert is with Archer now.
Moxley and Danielson should join forces. Have Moxley recruit babyfaces like Lee Moriarty and Wheeler Yuta while Danielson recruits heels like Daniel Garcia and Anthony Ogogo. Then we get the eventual split with Moxley's side vs Danielson's side.
Jesus, that was 12 months ago? What the fuck is time anymore.
I did not see that angle coming from anywhere, but jesus christ give me that faction right meow. Pretty much all the stables now are boring as shit, I need something fresh.
I popped big for it knowing full well punks probably taking weeks off just because of that one move
Just a team without any gimmicks and just straight up pure wrestlers. Yes! Yes! Yes!
So what you're seeing is we'll get Cobra Kai vs Miyagi-Do. Also screw Ogogo there has to be another young promising heel that isn't a shoot heel.
hayabusa is overpriced and not that good.
Cleto Reyes is where its at. Heel confirmed.
Yes. aew made great changes from when it started, but has settled into a very boring place. It's hard to believe we are getting an inner circle team meeting next week.
Hopefully the inner circle will be breaking up as a result though so that's something.
This thread at one point last year: "there's too many factions."
This thread now: "yes give me that Bryan/Mox faction!"
That's how you know this is a fantastic idea. Also, hasn't Jade been training with Bryan? How about bringing Jade in as the heater?
edit: oh shit you know who would be really cool to see taken under Bryan's wing? Janai Kai!

Listening to POST and they say that the tape choke + tape discovery spot in the main event was something that Punk did in a match in ROH against Jimmy Rave.
I guess that was Punk's little tribute to the man.

Hey folk! We're not doing contests for "Guess what matches will be at the PPV!" anymore, but I'd still like to encourage folk to guess! Just for fun! With four Dynamites left before the PPV, we're officially in the build to Revolution 2022.
Pick 9+ matches, including at least 2 women's matches, that you think will be at Revolution and include the hashtag #AEWRevolution2022 so others can search through them.

Gee I wonder if its because NO ONE is allowed to take that next step in their careers?
Everyon is stuck in the same spots they have been in years. No ome canget a sniff of the main event as long as guys like Lesnar are around.
It all goes back to Vince. Its obvious there is no plan at all.
Emi Sakura: I only had one [AEW Dark] match last month, and that made me depressed that I was no good anymore.
For context, this is her account to explain AEW to Japanese fans that are not familiar with the company and how it works. This is the start of a long thread where she's explaining the large number of wrestlers at a taping, how some of them don't get wrestle, and how some fill in last minute during a card change. Which inherently very different from how Japanese shows are put together, where rosters are much smaller and everyone has a pre-assigned match. She ends the thread by pointing out that the more famous wrestlers have fewer number of matches.
Careful about taking this account at face value in English. Between translation errors and the context of differences between Japanese wrestling and American wrestling, it could easily get blown out of proportion.

Lol it is true though. Right now the state of factions is much better. They're around, but they're not the focus of the shows anymore. I'm really liking that
