Yah you can’t blame Moxley for that. Naito looked like he couldn’t keep up or hang in there.

good main minus the ref bump bullshit but i still dont understand screwing up this huge moment handed to you on a silver platter by not simply booking Ospreay to win the title at Wembley

That show was a tonne of fun. Mox vs Naito kinda stunk but outside of that I thought everything was at least good and a couple matches were great (main was MOTN, Bryan vs Shingo, OC vs ZSJ) Have liked the Toni/Mariah/Mina story and figure it's leading to Mariah challenging at All In which will be fun. Nigel with the standing ovation and crying for the three way kiss was great
Ladder match was dumb fun, the Elite vs Acclaimed and President Ace was a blast and Hechicero is just the coolest fucking dude. Stephanie Vaquer rocks, every match I've seen of her has been great.
Not having Ospreay win the title at All In is an interesting move. It kind of felt too obvious, which isn't inherently a negative thing but I'm guessing Hangman is the mystery man in the Owen, wins it and faces Swerve at Wembley (I haven't watched rampage or collision yet so if someone else was revealed as the mystery entrant then I'll feel silly) but not really sure what Ospreay does at Wembley. Dude is one of the most over people they have and it's his home country, ao you'd think something big planned. Maybe Okada?
I dunno what was up w Naito vs Mox, whether Naito was hurt or is just at the point that he can't deliver unless it's someone he has a tonne of chemistry with. But it was weird vibes even at the start where it felt like it was just Mox beating him up while Naito slapped and spat at him. Mox getting up in red shoes grill is maybe a tease for him vs Shota. I'm tipping Tsuji to win G1 and title at Kingdom while Shota gets his win over Mox.
Speaking of Kingdom, Japan Forbidden Door Jan 5 at the Tokyo dome sounds pretty awesome. CMLL and Stardom involved too.
And lastly in this long fuckin post, so stoked for Swerve putting on a sick main event and being the guy in AEW. I remember him catching my eye in like 2014 when he did a cool panes of glass match against Devon Moore in CZW so it's great to see him at the level he's at now.

Main was great for the first 2/3rds of it but I am really not about the Epic Guy Wrestling Community Theater that seems to follow Ospreay

Watching it right now. Will report back in a bit with my thoughts, but it randomly occurred to me how happy I am that Marty Scurl and Joey Ryan aren’t in AEW. Very random thought.

They dodged a bullet with ROH signing Marty to that big deal to be booker qs well. Completely outside of his dodgy shit, just never enjoyed him in ring or character wise and that finger snap thing sucked.

i really enjoyed most of the show.
sometimes feel like toni storm's whole gimmick and persona is underrated. her match with mina shirakawa was great imo.
main event rocked.

Me too. Joey Ryan has gone fucking super, ultimate, Mega cringier on his IG on some born again Christian shit because he’s a creepy fuckup. Marty was fun for existing but dude got pushed way too hard and really thought he was important.

Sounds like Ishii vs Yoshi-Hashi wen't hard, I gotta check that out. Seen some people theorising he'll be in the N1 in exchange for Jake Lee being in G1. This G1 has no Okada, Tanahashi or Ishii, feels weird.

jesus britt baker had a fuckin stroke TIA is not a stroke exactly but it does mean you have about a 75% chance of actually having one. Kinda can't believe they cleared her tbh

Real good episode and the MJF turn came off really well I thought. Guessing that means Garcia is written off for a bit and MJF vs Ospreay at Wembley? That'll be some insane crowd reactions. Only real knock is that I would have liked to see Swerve, even if it's just a video promo or something.
I am really hoping Danielson finally calls out Nigel for all his shit talking. I loved McGuinness vs Danielson back in the day and while I don't think it'd be as good now, would still be sick to see one more time. That Unified match in England was so good (minus those disgusting ring post headbutts, gotta be a top ten dumbest thing I have seen in wrestling)

I'm assuming Wangman wins the tournament so we get Swerve/Page 4 and Danielson can hopefully wrestle Nigel.

Fucking Douki won the IWGP jr heavyweight title it seems. Fuck yes.
Little sad Bout Despys reign so short but Douki is so fuckin good and has done nothing but kill it since he joined NJPW (and presumably before) and I am so fucking stoked for him. Hell yeah

caught that gcw event tonight.
of course nick gage didn't cross the border.
i'm a dumbass mark for even entertaining that idea of actually happening.
gabe kidd vs joey janela was decent.
*edit* charles mason has got to be the lamest gimmick i've seen. wrestling in a cheap suit was so so so dumb.
