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.

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




BIG POP FROM ME

Also starting to think Edge beats Mox and Christian cashes in

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.

Hell baby
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

They cucked Daniels. That was really dumb.

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.

Any report on the main event getting cut short? That was my initial reaction because of how abrupt it was and because of the gash on Mox's head.

1. Show ended way before 12
2. They teased a Christian/Hook confrontation which never happened.
3. Daniels/Page thing didn't lead to anything
4. Rated FTR were shown vibing in the ring for a very long time before Edge got on the mic.
