forameus Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 After all the talk of Khan being a big wet noodle that couldn't manage his way out a paper bag, that was very well handled. A recap of the end of the PPV without mentioning Punk, vacating the belts without mentioning any of them, and then just putting into place a conclusion to one, and a path towards the other. Have to give credit for that. Although it all seems largely academic, because MJF should just be given everything immediately. Fucking hell he's good. 8 hours ago, Sherrif John Bunnell said: That production assistant looked suspiciously muscular. Thought it was an interesting choice to have talent scrapping with employees as a segment when you've just suspended loads of talent for scrapping with employees certainly. 9 hours ago, AFCDannyFTH said: Regal saying he was well into his disco biscuits Regal is having the time of his fucking life in this role. HHH must be fucking raging every time he's on TV because he was massively wasted in NXT. AEW has always been pretty good at using legends without over exposing, or asking them to do too much (or even too little) and having Regal come out and throw in his Northern England references, then slip into the serious proper wrestling stuff when he needs to, is brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) That has to be Punk done with the AEW title for good, assuming he comes back. Zero guarantee of it mind! Will be interesting to see how they handle bringing any of the suspended guys back. Mox is probably the best guy in wrestling just now, although he was wrong about MJF's music! Loved MJF's promo. Lots of subtle wee digs at Punk. Guy is absolutely tremendous. They're right to have not put him in the title tournament and he explained it perfectly. Talking of the tournament, most of the competitors I think were right, but Sammy Guevara? Nah, get this gimp punted. Should have been Hobbs. Guy was 3rd in the rankings, and is far better than wee gimpy Sammy. Much bigger threat in the tournament too. Think they're going to put the belt on Danielson or Jericho. Plenty of time to figure out a direction for getting the belt on MJF. Will they go for it as early as Full Gear?

Bert Raccoon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Danielson vs Moxley with Danielson getting the win would by my prediction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Forgot to mention that the trios match was enjoyable and Death Triangle are a good choice for those belts. Also, the open removed all traces of the suspened lot. They appear to have been removed from all advertising on the show too. Forgot another thing! TK being booed was pretty amusing.

Wrestlelamia YouTube channel hinting that CM Punk may have joined The Elite on the naughty step as both had been omitted from the Dynamite opening sequences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blurred the lines and went into business for himself but that's no reason to suspend him. Rightly or wrongly he stood up for his friend. Should he have went about it a different way? Probably but certainly not a reason to suspend him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The suspensions are due to what happened in Punk's locker room. Hangman wasn't there. All that Hangman has done in this publicly was cut a crap promo all the way back in May. Can't remember if it was the Dynamite before Double or Nothing but if so there was more than a week between the promo and Punk getting injured that they could have cleared the air. Punk kept his mouth shut, and held a grudge for over 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 More rumours about what happened coming out. The story seems to be changing a lot. Seems like both sides have a version of events. Doubt we'll ever find out what really happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Hope Mox absolutely smashes wee gimpy Sammy next week. Surely though they aren't going to give Mox the belt again? Wouldn't be against it, but think there's a worry of fan fatigue there. Seemingly he was due to have a holiday/break anyway. Can see any of Mox, Danielson or Jericho getting the title, and any would make a good match/feud match for MJF for Full Gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like when people talked about the Bucks and Omega losing in the early days, Danielson gets his wins back. Sets up Danielson v. MJF which is a match we've not seen yet and will help sell the next PPV if Tony Khan can avoid the temptation of throwing it on free tv with barely a week's build. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, could any of the three I said I think. There's a built in story with all of them. For Mox it's the promo he cut last Dynamite as well as who is really the face of AEW. For Jericho it's their past, of which there is loads. For Danielson it's who is the best wrestler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
