To be fair, the match should have been stopped!

To be fair to the Hardy incident, it was more short sightedness and carelessness than wreckeless.

General AEW question......

What makes any of these people angry?
I have tried watching it, but because I didnt know who any of them where going in, I know even less about them know.

The young bucks have a worse hairline than me, I have no idea what Kenny Omega is, and Adam page is a drunk ........ Non of them are appealing to me (a lapsed fan)...

Someone fill me in

Brilliant if you are going to do a double count out that when to do it.

Is it strange that this is probably the story I'm most interested in in AEW?

No it's a great story and it's been told well by all involved.

Yes, not stopping the match was wreckless.

But the initial injury was an accident and careless than negligent.

Neil3030 · 16-09-2020 6:38pm

The main issue with the bump that injured Hardy was where it was in the match - clearly they chopped out an entire middle portion and went straight to the finish on the stage with the crash pads. If the spot had gone as planned, they'd have been up, smashing each other senseless probably for a further 10 or so minutes before the finish. So a bump from a forklift through two tables onto concrete is basically something you can fight on from, no bother.

By all means finish a match with a high risk, impactful spot, but as someone mentioned early, the promotion is approaching ECW levels of just senseless, risky spots.

CastorTroy · 16-09-2020 7:48pm

Yeah there was a time that table spots were teased and built to, usually ending a match. Now they're usually just another spot. Sometimes they do still end a match. It seems to be random. Like a lone chair shot can lay someone out, but other times the same person could be hit multiple times with multiple weapons and still win

It was oddly booked until the accident but thats on Hardy mostly and any agent involved.

Top notch AEW tonight. Lots of great wrestling in the Jurassic Express/FTR match and Hangman/Kazarian. The main event was insane. Haven't felt this way about a wrestling show in a long long time but there's a sense of anything can happen with AEW that hasn't really been around since 2001, for me at least. Main event really showed Ortiz and Santana as proper killers too. Excited to see them get a little more serious.

Would love to see them away from the Inner Circle. They’d be brilliant with the tag straps. They’re gonna be class as faces too at some stage.

Agent Coulson · 17-09-2020 11:32am

Great opening Tag match Jungle Boy is one serious talent.

Paige and Kazarian was a really good singles TV match.

MJF match was alright however right now its all about his promos for story.

I'm liking Jericho and Hager and they had a great match with Private Party.

They need to somehow get Thunder Rosa out of her NWA contract and sign her slowly putting together a good women's roster just a pity the international women can't be there.

The parking lot match was really really great.

Also nice progressing with promos and backstage promos from Eddie and his crew, Miro and Kip.

Then Team Taz joining forces with Jake and Archer and getting Will Hobbs involved is a nice way to progress a young talent.

Also a nice little mini mystery who took out Hardy.

What’s happening with the Inner Circle now? Doesn’t seem to be a thing at the minute

Neil3030 · 17-09-2020 12:56pm

That show had a lot more rhythm. Felt a lot more engaged with this than previous weeks. No Dark Order, good matches, segments that build future matches.

On the negative side, part of me died when MJF teased starting a faction. There's already too many. The Kingston promo segments don't really go anywhere, I think he needs to be talking trash to an opponent rather than rallying his stable.

Also, if may mean shorter matches, but they need to protect Luchasaurus more and only give him one comeback per match, at least on TV.

Neil3030 · 17-09-2020 4:44pm

MJF joining with FTR + one other to form the new horsemen and eventually get the belt off Moxley is about the only faction angle involving him that would appeal to me.

Lithium93_ · 17-09-2020 7:17pm

FTR, MJF & Hangman Page, they are the new Horsemen.

As for getting the pretty platinum AEW World Championship off of Moxley, I think that'd be Kenny, once he's found his mojo from his NJPW days, as Omega does have a bone to pick with Moxley from Double Or Nothing 2019.

Omega has surely talked his way out of title contention at this stage?

Lithium93_ · 17-09-2020 9:01pm

Drop off this week for AEW, 886K.

Agent Coulson · 17-09-2020 9:10pm

Still the 3rd ranked show of the night TNT will be happy with that.

NXT was 31st with 689k

CastorTroy · 17-09-2020 9:20pm

That piledriver on Santana could've been dangerous considering Chuck seemed to slip.

So Matt is stopped going out to the ring? A suspicious person might think they're trying to cover the fact he's not cleared.

Well given he's a company EVP, he could if he should choose to do so, invoke his executive privilege to propel himself into a Championship match.

Though i'm sure there's a plan some where to get him into contention.

Neil3030 · 17-09-2020 11:21pm

What I mean is, he is so change-the-channel awful at talking, if they put the belt on him it would be a huge risk.

RollieFingers · 18-09-2020 8:54am

Easily the best Parking Lot brawl in pro-wrestling history, that was another great Dynamite main event, fantastic stuff.

Pairing Will Hobbs with Darby and Mox for the six-man is a great shout, enjoyed the NWA women's championship match too, a very hard-hitting encounter.

LineOfBeauty · 18-09-2020 9:23am

Really enjoyed Dynamite.

Two things. To the person who says there's already too many factions I disagree. Splitting your roster off into factions is a really easy and good way to book pro wrestling. It gives clear structures within a smaller group of wrestlers, more storyline potential and pin eaters for the big stars in the faction. NJPW, Dragon Gate, DDT and kinda AJPW are all faction based.

My new favourite thing on Twitter is people saying "stop the Wednesday night war, you're harming both shows" as though the main intention for NXT being on national TV on a Wednesday is not to do exactly that.

Agent Coulson · 18-09-2020 12:43pm

I see it being reported this morning that Thunder Rosa & Ivelisse started shooting on each during the match as there seems to be heat between the two backstage before the match even started.

Cherry_Cola · 18-09-2020 12:45pm

Seeing interesting stuff on the womens match too. Seemingly Ivelisse went into business for herself a few times and was given a few tasty reminders from Rosa not to mess with her. The dropkick she gave her looked brutal!

sky88 · 18-09-2020 12:49pm

Ivelisse Seems to have done this before too like tessa Blanchard has a terrible reputation about her

Agent Coulson · 18-09-2020 12:51pm

To be fair that shotgun dropkick looked cool as fcuk no matter if it was worked or a shoot.

She is an absolute tool of the highest order. Glad rosa put her back in her box.

J. Marston · 18-09-2020 2:37pm

She also wasn't arsed selling at some points...

The White Wolf · 18-09-2020 3:50pm

The infuriating thing is that Rosa was owed a strong showing given she did the honours for Shida. What she got instead was some clown trying to make a fool of her.

If I was Corgan I'd be spitting.

Neil3030 · 18-09-2020 4:13pm

Just watched Moxley's promo again from Wednesday night, he really is on top of his game right now.

Gets over the threat of Jake's team, gets over Will Hobbs, builds the must-see match for next week. All in less than 60 seconds.

18-09-2020 11:39pm

Really hope they can get Thunder Rosa signed even though she's under contract with the NWA atm. Been really impressed with her.

The White Wolf · 19-09-2020 7:20am

Apparently there was some backstage "uncomfortable" with how the match progressed and Rosa's stiff nature. What a bunch of whingebags.

RollieFingers · 19-09-2020 8:59am

If people are moaning about Rosa they need to get a grip, she's class!

Mox announced for Bloodsport on October 11th, after being previously announced but unable to compete due to a staph infection and then the pandemic! Really looking forward to it, Homicide, Josh Alexander, Deonna Purazzo among others already announced as taking part.

It's great that AEW and their talent acknowledges and works with other companies and groups, it doesn't insult the fans intelligence and adds another layer of realism and believability to proceedings.

Furious-Red · 19-09-2020 12:22pm

I think Mox will drop the title to Archer on the Anniversary show, even though i like Mox as champ i feel Archer needs that big win

I see where you are coming from but personally been loving Mox's run and hope he hangs on to the title

The White Wolf · 19-09-2020 1:32pm

Seen someone with a theory that Mox wins and in a reverse in the one year anniversary, it's Omega that floors Mox post win. Kenny is going to have a big year I'd say.

Kenny costing Mox the belt could be another way to do it. Protects everyone involved.

Some of the Dark ones have probably had more matches than ones with contracts

He's widely regarded as one of the best scouts ever in the business. Discovered Brock Lesnar before he even won the NCAA
