AEW All Elite Wrestling #8: Grabbing the Brass Ring of Honor

[GKJ]

Maybe in 3 years.

How is his promo ability? Not sure I've heard him cut one.

doesn't matter. do it tomorrow

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I guess we are heading to Deeb vs Thunder Rosa at DoN

 

[Grackle Party]

Wardlow is nuts. Didn’t realize he could move like that.

 

[GKJ]

JR just really isn't good anymore. Couldn't see that Scorpio Sky caught Sammy and countered the cutter, Excalibur corrects him, and he still goes with it.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What was the purpose of putting the title back on Sammy if you give it right back to Scorpio?

Get him over as heel

I'm not so sure they expected crowds to turn on Sammy so quickly. Either they gave the title to him to get him over as a heel, or they didn't expect the crowds to shift but acknowledged it and pivoted. I'm happy with it either way. It's been well done and Sky is a worth champion. If they split Sky from Page and use Lambert as the catalyst it could work

It's not good. At all

 

[Sheppy]

Sooo good.

I was trying to figure out where that small package finish came from and as soon as I saw the clip I was like "yep!"

Sammy and Tay have go away heat already. They're worse than Cody and Brandi at this point.

Maybe you shouldn't have a very public proposal and then leave your wife for a co-worker less than a month later. And then double down and annoy people with your PDA when you're rightfully called out on it. Sammy never does that on Dynamite and no one cares. And I feel turning that real life stuff into a gimmick is getting more go away heat than heel heat. With Cody and Brandi, Brandi had the go away heat, but at least Cody's was more Cena-like. But also this pivot probably never happens if Cody never leaves.

This feud was basically a double turn. Sky def seems face now, and even Lambert might be by association.

They could very easily have Dan Lambert and Ethan Page turn on Scorpio if they feel they need to, and Scorpio can go back with Kazarian. I don’t know why they broke up anyways. Lambert won’t have any problem getting his heat back, and they can bring back Lance Archer to put with him.

I kinda like this roh announcer, “Riccaboni”.

 

[GKJ]

Rampage is airing at 5:30pm Friday this week

 

[CDJ]

Stu Grayson is apparently gone

 

[les Habs]

Stu Grayson is apparently gone

As in he disappeared?

 

[CDJ]

As in he disappeared?

As in he apparently didn’t get re-signed. Makes me wonder what will happen with Uno and the Dark Order as a whole

 

[les Habs]

You can continue to move upscale such that you can afford to let the Dark Order go. AEW isn't there yet though depending on how they view ROH, Dark and Dark Elevation. Some of their personnel decisions are odd.

 

[Apex Predator]

Dark order should be a group where people come and go like a job. You lose Stu Grayson no big deal move on and add someone else later on.

I did like when they were heel and had Brodie Lee as the leader. Wish they would go down that road with someone from within being a leader or someone from the outside joining the group.

 

[GKJ]

I don't think it's a Dark Order thing more than it's a Stu Grayson thing, although they aren't featuring Dark Order at all anymore. I think Tony just doesn't know what to do with them. He and Uno should've had their deals at the same time, so it's weird that we're only talking about one of them.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

John f***ing Harbaugh booooooo

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Britt repping the Pens

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Rosa is awful on the mic, she needs a mouth piece.

I love her, she is a great wrestler and she has a lot of presence, but she cannot talk. The material was good... but the delivery... meh.

 

[GKJ]

Thunder Rosa sounds way too rehearsed when she’s live. They don’t script you in AEW but she sounds like she is. If she does a pre-tape that’s usually fine.
