JamieStevenson Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hangman vs Y2J & Omega vs Moxley going forward?? Hell fucking yeah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 That was a cracking show. It was my first time seeing a lot of that talent and they just about all impressed me. I imagine plenty of frustrated WWE talent will be keen to follow Moxley to AEW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 That show really was fantastic. Enjoyed Cody/Goldust the most but Bucks/Lucha Bros was a MOTY contender as well and everything else was good-great. The ending was terrific as well. Moxkey can be a huge star for them and Omega’s a really good opening programme. It’s very, very early days and we won’t fully know what AEW’s all about until TV rolls around. If we’ve got at least two more shows similar to tonight though I’ll be very happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I'll be watching Cody vs Dustin again tomorrow. That's right up there in my favourites of the year so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hangman Page is probably going to be the ace of AEW originally so Jericho going over works. Page will go through Jericho and then it'll be back to the Omega thing for Jericho. The match certainly hinted that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hangman Page is a star 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Btw, loved Orange Cassidy being over as f**k despite not doing much. Hopefully we see more of him in the future. MJF has to be a big player going forward too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Best wrestling event I've seen in years. All 3 of the main events were different and all lived up to the hype. On the commentators I thought they struggled at first but JR in particular was brilliant in those last 3 matches and for Moxleys run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepundit Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Really enjoyed Double or Nothing. A very entertaining show with a lot of good wrestling. The signs are positive, but lets see how they're doing after a year or so of weekly television. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Jack Whitehall is tolerable. Could have been someone like Russell Howard fs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 That show was extremely good. Refreshing having a ppv of that length of just quality matches and no nonsense. Hope they can keep it up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Btw. I'm not likely to be sold on Cody Rhodes being an exceptional wrestler. He's a solid wrestler who now and again does turn in an exceptional performance. However, there's no way I can look at him and see anything other than a total fucking star. He's carried himself brilliantly from the minute he left WWE. Even in the run up to this show, and the way he was talking about the show, he just came across so naturally and he feels like a big deal. He IS an exceptional tag wrestler though. As is Dustin. So them two vs. the Bucks is going to be pure filth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I'm coming at it from a perspective of someone who likely won't watch much (although may in future) and will catch up on the news of it via podcasts/recaps and the like, but it was a bit disappointing to see the HHH digs Cody had. Should be taking the higher ground on things like that. Still, sounds like a really good show, and if they can keep all that up then there's definitely some healthy competition. Can only be a good thing going forward to have two strong companies (if WWE returns to that level) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, needs to be done in a blow off match at the end of a long feud in a cage or a cell IMO. Not a random match, even though the participants were brers. It didn't feel like a match that needed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin is clearly finishing up now so going out on as big a high as possible makes sense. Going out on two certified bangers would do a lot to cement his legacy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Great PPV. Enjoyed every match actually. A novel feeling these days to watch a PPV with no screwy finishes, poor booking decisions and be wholly satisfied by the end of it. Cody v Dustin (which got 5 stars from Meltzer btw) was my match of the night. Brilliant, old-school blood match with superb storytelling before, during and after the match. Cody can really go when he has a story and when he puts the work in. And what a way for Dustin to go out too (the match against the Bucks should be a cracker too). Also enjoyed the joshi match, which is definitely something I need to get more in to and the Bucks v Lucha Bros was a scorcher too although I'm surprised the Bucks won. Jericho going over in the main event was the right result. He's their biggest star at the moment and they'll be able to build up to him v Page well. Really excited by John Moxley's debut too. I haven't listened to his podcast with Jericho yet but by all accounts, it's a great listen. Was cool seeing Awesome Kong in the women's match too. That was my first time seeing Kylie Rae and I was impressed and Britt Baker's superkick was excellent. SCU v OWE was a great match too and flowed really well. The Battle Royale was a little slow at times and could have done with more eliminations earlier on but it was a good showcase for their lower card and lower mid-card talent. Thought Joey Janela, Luchasaurus, Dustin Thomas, Ace Romero, Jimmy Havoc and MJF (great heel and definite future star) all came off particularly well. Kip Sabien v Sammy Guevara was a little paint by numbers but a good showing for Kip Sabien nonetheless. I really like their title belt and Bret Hart and Jack Whitehall was certainly not a crossover I was expecting JR and Excalibur really grew into their role together and clicked better as the night went on. Alex Marvez was awful though but I hope he can improve. Overall it was a brilliant show. Will obviously be much harder to put on shows of this standard on a week to week basis but I'm looking forward to seeing how they progress from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Double or nothing apparently done 98,000 PPV buys @ £49.99 a piece in the states. That's some pretty serious money for a promotions first ever event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy a spot of wrestling, but I doubt I'd ever pay that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
