At least everyone’s favorite step father stepped up and won.

Miles and miles ahead of last year's show. I've been very soft on AEW and truthfully I feel like their weekly TV still doesn't really do it for me but man the PPVs always hit it out of the park.

They've had like 2-3 misses for PPV in 5 years and that's it
Weekly TV is really hard to do well every fucking week

I know I am beating a dead horse but it's funny that Cody Rhodes thought he would get over as a face by pretty much doing what MJF is doing now.

great event, loved that casino gauntlet match. I popped so hard for Nigel. I was really hoping he’d take it and him and dragon would have their final match. Christian winning was bullshit. But yeah, very fucking solid ppv. My best friend came over (who isn’t into wrestling) and was losing his mind. That shit was so fun. Richard O’Shea showing up also made me lost my shit. The whole thing delivered

Was a great show. So fuckin happy to see Dragon win. The retirement stip made it feel a lot more obvious but a great match and an awesome moment. Bryan hulking up through the kicks while staring at his family was gnarly.
Really liked Toni vs Mariah. Mariah slapping her mum rocked so much, hoping we get another match with a stip between them.
Ospreay vs MJF had some cool shit but wen't a bit too hard on the melodrama and shenanigans for my taste, it just didn't totally land compared to their hour long one which I loved. Maybe a rewatch might help it but felt this one less than I expected.
Casino gauntlet is always very fun and I got so stoked seeing Nigel out there. I hope we do get to see him have a decent run, I like him on commentary but there's so many guys that it'd be cool to see him wrestle.
Mercedes vs Britt was better than I was expecting but just quite sloppy still. Mercedes definitely works better when she has someone stronger and more powerful to work with, I reckon Hayter could have a great match with her. I didn't watch the preshow so I spent this whole match hoping Hayter would show up at the end.
Everything else was at least decent. Ending to the tag match stunk. Darby is a crazy person. Claudios counter to the Gunns finisher was sick. Sting showing up was cool and so was Taz doing the Tazmission.
Keen to go to the Brisbane show next year, I was hoping they'd announce it for Melbourne so guess I gotta travel for that one. I haven't ever seen Danielson live so I hope he's there.

I haven't heard anything, is Nigel going to actually have a run now? He has to atleast do a few, right? A Bryan match, Claudio match, Zack match? Maybe Mox?

What are your thoughts on Tombstone Jesus? I had never heard of him untill now & I like him. He jobbed to Joey Janela in GCW, which I also enjoy. I was at this show. Dude’s wife was next to us and was looking really stressed during a few spots. When Mance came out, he grabbed my hat and threw it up in the rafters. Awesome! I watched some of the GCW Homecoming shows this past weekend. Hoping for GCW to come to Boston. I see they do Hartford, but it hasn't lined up for me as of yet.

Man that sucks. As a kid I hated him but as I got older I realised he actuallt rocked. Just had a presence about him, his 96 run where he wins the title off Shawn was great

WWE HOF is bullshit imo but it was still fucked that Vader was so open that it would have meant a lot to him to go in and WWE didn't put him in even though he was sick for a long while.

My second ever show was a house show in sacremento. Had to be in like 91. But Sid replaced ultimate warrior for the main because warrior didn’t show up. So it was him and taker in a body bag match. Sid always freaked me out, but in a good way. And made me love the power bomb. It’s awesome seeing that he was a good dude. I’ve seen some of his shoots and all that, and yeah, just seemed like a good guy. But holy shit, he was terrifying. Hopefully there is a tribute on one of the shows.
