Watch it be Killer Kross and then before he can even reach the ring Keith Lee bumrushes him into the crowd and we never see him again.
Look at the poster of the mystery person. The silhouette says it all.. bald head and huge thighs. It has to be Kurt Angle! Omega is on record saying one of his dream matches is with Angle. I'm ready for Kurt
Chaos Project remain wholesome fun.
That was a face vs face tag match. Which I only point out to make sure no one thinks otherwise.

Nia Jax about to be a headliner.
YOU FOOLS! It can only be one person.
WWE legend, former multiple time champion ... VACANT!
Nah, have Cody come out thinking it's him, but then Tony reveals it's not him, but X
Fun Elevation tonight. I really needed it. Sad personal things in spoilers to prevent thread derailment. Today is my birthday and it was the first one without my mom. I never really cared about my birthday, but she did. I definitely missed her saying "happy birthday" to me numerous times to mess with me. I wasn't sure if I would even watch Elevation, but I needed it to feel like a "normal" day. Being alone sucks
- Great to see Robert Anthony back. All the respect for him being a teacher and continuing to wrestle
- The team of Diamante , Emi Sakura & Bunny was fun. Sometimes weird combinations of wrestlers really work for me.
- Great to see Queen Aminata again. Much like Robert, Aminata has a respectable job outside wrestling, but still puts in the work (She works in the medical field. Not sure what)
- Yo Stephen Wolf hit some great moves in his match with Scorpio. Love when "jobbers" are given some shine
- Really digging Julia Hart's new attitude. I don't expect her to join The House of Black anymore, but adding some edge to her character will be good
- Dante Martin vs Aaron Solo was fun
- Acclaimed, Ass Boys vs Lee Johnson, Brock Anderson, Sydal & Moriarty was my MOTN. Like I said before, The Acclaimed & Ass Boys work as a comedy heel team. Good match.
- Chaos Project vs Best Friends was fun too. Had a smile on my face for most of the match. Love me some Chaos Project. Luther looking good too.

Oh I agree on that. It's fine by me though, it could have been better but it is what it is
I watched the Strowman control your narrative show for free and it was one of the worst things I've ever watched. It's terribly edited video of moves being done (I won't call it a match) with music and EC3 talking nonsense over it.
I was on board with him joining last year, but given all of the other free agents out there that AEW should be prioritising far more, like Lee, Swerve, Athena, etc, and how so many long term AEW talent have been shoved aside to make way for 'bigger' stars over the last few months I'd be pretty disappointed.
I'd prefer to see him in Impact. They really need more big name stars like him, and it would help the industry overall to spread them out rather than have all of the big ex-WWE main eventers all in one place.

It's honestly remarkable that Derrick Bateman has had the career that he has. I never would've thought that thick Andy Samberg would be running his own shows all those years ago when watching him on the original NXT. Crazy.

Lmao. One of the comments in the thread named them the "Easily Preventable Death Triangle."
What are the times there's been a disappointing payoff for a surprise?
Christian, depending on how one feels about him? Seems like minor thing to nitpick about when just last year the promotion has brought in Danielson, Punk, Cole, KOR, Black, Andrade, Ruby and a ton of people with potential lower in the card. I can understand being sour about Lethal / Fish but they weren't really advertised as anything either.
He didn't tease a bunch of those. A lot of those were unhyped up surprises, and Punk and Danielson were leaked by journalists ahead of time.
I'll admit I have an awful memory and can't remember specifics, but it isn't just wrestler debuts he has overhyped. Things like tournies and such too. There is a reason he has a rep for over hyping things.
yeah I know, but I was asking what were the disappointing ones? the names I mentioned were for context in the sense that they have been providing some pretty high quality surprises overall.
Regardless, I was trying to crack a joke. I don't think it's going to be Flip Gordon, and I feel like recently he has taken the criticism over the teases on board and that he will deliver with this one.
all good.
not directed at you, but the level of negativity in this thread seems to have peaked to new levels in the recent weeks so I don't really know what's what anymore.
Let's hope for Keith Lee or Swerve. I think everyone has the right to be disappointed if it isn't one of them.
Unless Swerve had anything other than a 90-day no-compete, it can't be him yet. Released Nov 18th, so the final day of no compete would be Feb 16th which is wednesday next week (or if they count days somehow differently I guess he could be a free agent come wednesday next week.)
Could well be Lee this week, or could be someone else. They also have the multi-man ladder match coming up, and they tend to pull off some surprise in those (Brian Cage, Ethan Page, Adam Page returning) => would also be a pretty great opportunity to debut Lee.
Interesting. Thought he released the same day as Keith Lee. Guess I was wrong. If it's not Keith Lee, I'm guess Juice Robinson.
Best wishes for your birthday EvilDead1987 - hope you were able to find some fun despite the circumstances.
Oh shit, the mystery person is someone whose name rhymes with Cage or Page

Sometimes I think about the talent unsigned on the indies and then remember they signed Lethal and Bobby Fish. Lol.
Don't get me started on the women that they've had in for Dark tapings who are KNOWN quantities in the indies as very solid workers and then did nothing with. (Trish Adora, Willow Nightengale, both of the Seastars who had that one bit on Dark that SURE MADE IT SEEM LIKE THEY HAD GOTTEN SIGNED but weren't.) Not to mention the ones who maybe haven't had the same opportunities some of those other well known women on the indies but then once they're in an AEW ring have shown they have something going on that's worth looking. (thinking Renee Michelle here off the top of my head as well as others) But then they turn around and seem to want Santanna Garret in for a spot at the bottom??? Like fucking WHAT??? Boggles my mind.
You just reminded me of how lucky we are that they didn't sign Garrett.
