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

[TD Charlie]

I wasn't super sold on Hurt Business in AEW but that shot at the end of them standing together sold me on them.

I gotta think some younger people join them. I just don't know who.

Private Party/Young Bucks was amazing. I still am shocked about how good Private Party are.

I saw Private Party v the Bucks in Boston at the 2nd ever Dynamite. Knew nothing about PP going into it and was totally blown away by that match. I remember leaving that show thinking that Private Party were gonna be massive stars soon. It took way longer than I expected but I’m glad they finally became tag champs. I just wish they had a bit better presence when they weren’t wrestling.

*immediately gets a huge pop*

Would really love to see Lashley get his flowers in AEW. He carried wwe for a hot minute during the Covid era, and i think ended up proving a lot of people wrong. I hated him when he first started the push but over time I’ve come to respect the hell out of the guy. A pros pro.

I hope Hurt Business succeeds in AEW. I'm not a big Lashley fan, but he looked like he had a sick presentation last night.

Is everyone in AEW involved in a faction of some sort, though? Seems everyone is in some sort of group.

In his year off, Adam Cole has not lifted anything heavier than an xbox controller and you can tell. would it kill him to get back into his NXT shape?

And I think more that one are trying to "take over" maybe Turner is planning a big 45th anniversary thing for The Warriors and they are working a gang warfare angle to tie in with it

I think the general idea is you almost need a faction to have your back in this company because everybody else is linked up. Very New Japan. I kinda like it, separates them from WWE- almost more of a team sports element to the promotion

Hangman is solo. MJF. Outside of that most of the guys are linked to someone.

Moxley is kind of like how Mao wanted to destroy the "four olds" because the more people are detached from the past the easier it is to convince them to accept new utopia in its place. OC is the perfect guy to go after as he played a foundational role establishing AEW's identity and what made it different.

This is pretty solid story writing by AEW standards.

Not sure it will directly relate to ratings, but 1m views on YT isn't bad

So far this week, the World Series has taken a hit on wrestling viewerships.

Two of the biggest franchises, it's quite obvious it would

Yeah, LA vs NY so it's a no-brainer, in any major sport really.

Apparently putting ROH title on Jericho was to help with getting a TV deal done...i wonder if they'll put it on TruTV or something

Where is my boy Bandido at? He's my favorite luchador in the company.

Injured but word going around is he's returning soon.

I think I read that he’s been cleared recently.

I know some people get sensitive that Cole is getting body-shamed but he looked ridiculous next to Buddy.

He doesn't need to roid up, but at least put some work in and get back to that NXT look like you said, or change up his character and moveset to match up.

Like you don't need to be a huge muscle monster. Darby isn't a big guy at all for example, but he wrestles like he looks. He sells his ass off, and his offense is largely him being super reckless and literally just throwing his whole body at people.

It makes sense.

Do AEW really need Hurt Business/Syndicate (or whatever they will call it) when they ALREADY have BCC. To me there is no difference between the two factions. Just merge them and lean into the heavy WWE vibes of the performers involved.

There’s absolutely zero reason to combine them. They are two totally different groups.

This is AEW, not WWE. There’s no reason to “heavy wwe vibes”.

He's been reduced to a meme now:

Very overt tease of dissension between the Acclaimed.

BRAINBUSTAHHHHHHHHHHH

Mina Is Coming!

Felt like that should have been a DQ finish or dirty win. A lot of time was invested in pushing Anna and it ends with Mariah going over clean?

 

[GKJ]

I know Orange Cassidy is from Allentown, didn’t realize Philly is ‘home’ for him, even though he was in this scene. Allentown ain’t far.

If he’s going to be a top guy, sounds good talking a lot more.

Appears Wheeler Yuta has a challenger for his kingdom.

My biggest issue is either he had a really bad spray tan, or he's jaundice from the surgeries...he was REALLY yellow
