Ospreay about to close out the year in the most Ospreay like fashion? With two 5* matches in one night.
AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood
- Thread starter GKJ
- Start date
Now get MJF the hell away from them and don’t have them even look at each other in 2025
Ospreay milking that he is tired, can't even climb the ropes and do the Ospreay pre match thing, yet somehow will go 30 minutes, lol

One of my favorite things about the fallout of this show is this feud ending. Hoping Cole and his group can find their groove and let MJF do his thing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this show start to finish. Matches all delivered aside from perhaps the main event, which had the whole Rated FTR thing going for it to save it.
Ospreay and Okada was a lot of fun. Ospreay doesn’t miss.

There are people who owe Mercedes an apology after how this year is ending for her.
Nothing surprising however solid start to finish. Where the best wrestle is more truth than fiction and generally speaking the PPVs are when the company shines.
The wrestling is almost always well above industry standard. Their storylines are where they’ve been lacking
It needed to happen. Glad the crowd agreed.

For me an even bigger problem then storylines is to many times it feels like you are watching the exact same match(to varying levels) with the exact same moves to often. Not every match has to be 10 minutes+, sometimes a 2-3 minute squash will do more to get a wrestler over than the same old boring match we seen 5-6 times already on the same card.
I see what you mean
They just work more of an indy wrestling style more often than not. Purists will hate it because finishers don’t always mean much, and not all matches end with a finisher.
I still think that the better talents do enough from one match to another that make it different. Last night was a great wrestling show imo.
I heard Alvarez bring this up and I agree- 1) what the f*** was the point of the Christopher Daniels-Adam Page promo the other day and 2) why did none of the competitors in the main event have their factions with them except for Mox? Makes no sense, what’s the point of factions if you’re not gonna actually use them
Last night was heavy on the "this guy came back from an injury, so we'll have him pretend he gets re-injured again during the match" --- Hobbs and Cole both did it. Cole did it in his very first match back as well.
Small gripe from me. Enjoyed the card overall.

That's good reality based selling and should always happen. Many of the best matches ever use that, because it's based in reality. If they'd didn't do it, it would make them look dumb. You always go after your opponents weakness and they should always sell that weakness as much as possible.
The problem I see in many AEW matches where this happens is they "fully recover" during the match. That shouldn't happen. Danielson does it the right way, and even has he is making his comeback, he continues to sell the injury until even after the match. Bret Hart was great at this as well. It's what separates the greats from the goods.
