What Japanese wrestler wants to be an underneath guy in AEW and what New Japan wrestler would decide to leave Japan to go wrestle in America?
Cody looks like an idiot and Gallagher looks like he wants to work in catering rather than sit in catering.
AEW road report
-good arena, few blocks from my favorite venue downtown so i scored easy free parking and walked a bit
-nice setup for the show
-Yuka/Riho vs. Britt/Penelope wasn't anything amazing but I was very happy to see Yuka (who my close, personal friends in the seats behind me referred to as "pokemon girl")
-SCU/Dark Order was garbage. SCU fucking sucks. Dark Order entrance is cool, I like them
-Hager/Dustin was embarrassing. Big yikes lads
-Sammy/Darby was extremely good shit. King Darby, wrestling megastar. Unbelievably satisfying to see him in his current state, albeit he almost ate shit again on another stupid dive idea. we stan
-Bucks vs. Page and Omega was amazing. Not much else to say. I was worried in the beginning parts that it was going to be some self indulgent family struggles nonsense at the expense of violence but as soon as they got into it it was everything I could've wanted from that. Pretty much perfect, other than the fact that this prrrrrrrobably shouldn't have been this low on the card
-Nyla/Stat were sent out to die and Stat was very obviously sick/off her game. Some really rough stuff at the beginning but Stat saved it with the hanging handstand escape and the rest of the match was pretty good outside of the mad dangerous super moves towards the end
-Cody/MJF, in the context of their long build and all of the crazy well-received work they've done on TV this year, was a fucking failure. From the stupid band intro that overstayed its welcome as they played the whole song, to working a brutal blood feud match with a bunch of dumb kooky spots, and a stupid fucking neck tattoo. Garbage. The fucking "Chairman" Shawn Spears had a better match with no build and no one giving a shit
-PAC/Orange Cassidy was everything I wanted it to be in the exact spot I wanted it to be. Incredible shit given all the time it needed. Perfect match
-Mox/Jericho was..............fine? The finish was great but this was a real nothing match even by Jericho standards. Fake blood man, fuckin nerd shit
Overall, it was a PPV.
Oh yeah people need to learn to sit the fuck down. I'm all for standing for big moments, entrances, going to the outside, whatever, but people in my section were legit standing for minutes at a time during the matches. Like bro you can see everything sit the fuck down.

I wanted that to work so bad.
A holy antithesis of the Undertaker could have been interesting.
It can be removed or covered up with another one.
Painful as hell probably but yeah.
Lasering is only really good for cover ups. It's near impossible to completely get rid of it. A cover up would have to be even bigger and gaudier.
Hell I still wish Sean O'Haire's Devil's Advocate stuff went somewhere
Good lord Hangman/Omega and the Bucks. Possibly my match it the year.
Loved the entrance though.

Other than the one match that everyone knew was gonna be awesome (Tag title match) AEW Revolution ranged from okay to very good. I don't know why MJF bladed. It added nothing once so ever to the match. Very underwhelmed by that match. But the strap spot was a nice touch. Darby scarred the hell out of me when he La Parka'd himself into the barrier. Glad he alright. Insane 450 through the table, good match. Nyla/Stat had the worse position to be in but the match wasn't really that good anyways. I'm just never gonna get the appeal of Orange Cassidy, It's like a joke that no one clued me into. Nice stuff but in no way worth the 6 months of doing nothing for OC. Mox and Jericho had a match......that's pretty much all my thoughts on that. A good 3.5 star match but nothing noteworthy.
Dude is in the zone right now. Same with Darby, PAC & Sammy. All 4 are complete characters who hold up 100% of the time they are on screen.
It's just a TV match, TNT likely settled on it as Cody went to great lengths to trademark The Match Beyond so maybe they'll do a PPV down the road if this ends up popular.
first blood was a capsule
the second time it might have been legit
Post match you could see a gash above his right eyebrow for sure
It's definitely a clear shot at Vince and will include a match type NXT are using so I am busting to see what his response will be lol
Aubrey da gawd with the ejection tonight was one of my highlights
Fucking Ortiz bumping on the apron for it made me laugh so fucking hard

I thought it was a great ppv, I even didn't mind Dustin/Asshole. I felt real bad for Statlander who you could see in closeups was really fucking sick still. Cody and his terrible tattoo had a pretty nothing match. Orange Cassidy finally proved for those who never saw his indie matches that he's actually really fucking good with some of the crispest flying ddts and the best superman punch of all time. Mox and Jericho was decent and I think the rambling Mox promo after elevated the match.
Guys I'm really concerned about Cody, I think he has some deep drug or alcohol issues to deal with
Kiss from a Rhodes needs to be a team out there. Currently the tag division is a bit bloated but they need more trios for the rumored trios titles imo. Maybe keep pairing Sonny and dustin with various folks till you find em a solid third.
Really hoping Laredo Kid shows up with Lucha bros before then. Thatd be my pick for trios champions. I feel like hybrid 2 and a solid frontman would be great in a trios division as well. Lotta experience from mexico doin those things I'd say. Just find some way to elevate em. They're too talented to shelve this much.
Just saw close ups of Cody's tattoo and holy shit what kind of hack tattoo artist did he go to? That linework is trash.
