AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[Clint Eastwood]

I feel like Tony would be willing to back up the brinks truck and then some for Will. The grand match and entrance at Wembley wasn't a coincidence. I also believe WWE has a cap on it since I doubt they "NEED" Will Ospreay. And I might be talking out of my ass here but when Endeavor was first rumored to be buying WWE, a lot of people claimed they had a penny pinching reputation.

With that said, as long as Will is wrestling, I'll be overjoyed. I think he'll do great in a HHH-led WWE, AEW, or if he even stays with NJPW, or even if TNA creates the shock of 2023. I truly believe he's the current day best wrestler in the world and a good run in the next couple years might make him one of the GOATs.

I’ve learned to ignore most of what the Meltzers and Alvarez’s of the world have to write.

“Will Ospreay believes AEW is a better fit but another free agent source tells me that might not be the case. Tony Khan and Hunter will both be looking to sign him. He thinks that he promised him xyz but they don’t expect him to make a decision until the other makes up his mind first.”

These guys suck so bad at clarifying the who/what/where/when/why. My children write a more coherent paragraph

I think part of the problem is most of the quotes are just transcribed from their podcast which I mean if you have ever heard Meltzer talk for any length of time the confusing nature of his quotes make a lot more sense lol

It’s true. If you want to fully understand Meltzer’s context, you have to listen to him. He’s had some things attributed to him as false reports that when you listen to how he says it, it’s not definitive.

oh shit

edit : i thought dalton castle was getting in the ring :/

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Crowd was hot for that match.

 

[Grackle Party]

Damn Danielson hurt again

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

mjf rocks

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

holy shit is right

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Is this match intentionally or unintentionally snug? Some of these bumps have me cringing.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

that match was epic

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Some shit on the Elite, but they’ve been very unselfish. I thought for sure more would have done in the way of interference. MJF went over 90% clean there.

Let’s see a rematch or two or three. They really found a groove in the last 10 minutes or so. Damn good.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Omega and MJF match was incredible

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Here's the important question though.... what mushy piece of fruit was Toni eating on the broadcaster table? Couldn't make it out in black/white (love her schtick).

Wish Dalton Castle was healthy, would love to see him more often.

 

[Sheppy]

Omega vs MJF could possibly be MOTY, but for what, I mean I’ll take it, but I wish it was a cap off.

It’s definitely up there.

My favorite matches of the year so far:

ZSJ vs Danielson at wrestledream
Omega vs Ospreay at forbidden door
Swerve vs Page at wrestledream
BCG vs FTR 1 on collision
Cole vs MJF 2 at Wembley
Christian vs Darby at wrestledream
MJF vs Samoa Joe at grand slam
Athena vs Willow (death before dishonor I think?)
Hobbs vs Miro at all out
Jericho vs Strong on dynamite

 

[TheBeastCoast]

ZSJ-Danielson is going to be my match of the year. Have a hard time seeing it being topped lol Ospreay has done his best though with basically every match he has had this year.

Didn’t care for MJF vs Danielson Iron Man or just oversight?

I loved it, but it was just outside of my personal top 10.

Dalton Castle vs Switchblade is another match I was a huge fan of.
Danielson vs Rush
HoB vs the elite at Revolution

I want to pick another women’s match but TK’s booking and story buildup for the women has been awful.

 

[yahhockey]

Santana vs Ortiz was rough. They appeared every bit of guys who haven't had consistent time in the ring.

Wait, so are those guys actually beefing or just working?

 

[yahhockey]

I would assume working but I have no idea. Someone here posted they supposedly had heat with each other late in their run but unsure if it was true or if they still feel that way. It was simply a sloppy match at times. Not always when they were engaged with each other, sometimes it was one doing a move that wasn't great such as when Ortiz?, the smaller one, tried to do a cannonball through the ropes and almost landed on his head/neck or kind of landed on his head/neck. The agent for the match could possibly bear some responsibility as well.

Is the audio funny on Dynamite again?

It was at the start

They really need to separate RoH from AEW. All the belts are annoying. It’s so stupid that they have two sets of trios titles when there’s barely a trios division

Though it does help get MJF into like 17 different angles at one time instead of only 13 or 14

MJF keeping the flame on his feud with Darby lit.
