THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Yeah, that ending was a wet fart. They didn't have to blow the ring up per se, but maybe have some pyro by the ring to make it more dramatic.
Ain't shit dramatic about sparklers. Goldberg stands in them.

I watched AEWs PPV and must say, overall it was a good show. I did have some issues with their matches and the booking but I'd give it a solid B-
- Jericho/MJF vs Young Bucks = missed
- Tag Team Battle Royal = decent action
- Women's Title match = went on too long. Who the fuck is this fat dyke Japanese wrestler, and why should I care about her? AEW always tries to push these unknown Japanese stars to the casual audience like we should care about who they are when in reality they are given too much match time.
- Miro/Sapien vs Cassidy/Taylor = I hate that Miro's talents are being wasted in these matches that basically are throwaways. Can they start separating him from this Sapien and his wife. Is AEW trying to do a cuckold type storyline in the future?
- Matt Hardy vs Hangman = decent match with good action. Although Hangman's gimmick borrows heavily from many that came before him, he's a character that is growing on me.
- Brass Ring Ladder Match = AEWs continued obsession with WWE/Vince McMahon inspires a brass ring ladder match that felt too overbooked like many multiman ladder matches that came before it. I'm not a big fan of Money in the Bank ladder matches, and wasn't a big fan of this one, especially when there were so many spots where dudes literally could have climbed the ladder easily to grab the brass ring, but because of shitty timing, had to wait for one of their opponents to do a spot to knock them off the ladder. This happens in every ladder match but here, it was VERY apparent. Also went on too long.
- Christian Cage signs with AEW = cool to see him sign but the way they hyped it, it was a little bit of a letdown. Was expecting a bigger star, someone who could sell out arenas....
- Street fight = I get why they went with the cinematic style match but this felt over produced. It would have been better without the commentary team. It was a cool action set piece but part of me felt like it just didn't come as well as it could have. I just can't buy into a 150lb Allin and a sixty year old Sting winning a street fight....
- Barbed Wire exploding match = why was this booked immediately AFTER the street fight? They should have booked the Women's match before this instead of having these two gimmick matches back to back....and what a dumbass gimmick match this was. The match itself wasn't that bad but it was honestly ruined by that ending countdown to "Explosion"....WTF was that bullshit? Moxley looked like he wishes he could be Ambrose again after this.
Whoever their pyro guy is he's never working for AEW again.
I don't expect Miro to be paired with Kip much longer. If they're still together come June I'll be surprised.
From what I read, Tony Kahn wimped out on the barbed-wire explosion match and had everything toned down. I think it was supposed to be like the ones they do in Japan:
From what Moxley and Khan said in their post interviews, it seems like they're going to say it was Kenny's fault, maybe that it was done on purpose as a joke. Eddie can sell that he passed out due to the pressure and the thought of dying. Some shit like that.

He's Nigerian-American so it's not a stretch from who he really is. I'm digging this new character.
It's much better than the old smiling-all-the-time, bland Apollo character from before.

Yeah, I knew that "exploding, barbed wire, death match" was gonna be on some outlaw mudshow indie bullshit.
Seems like they couldn't even pull it off right for the people who are into that shit.
Purposely didn't go out of my way to try and find it to watch.

Does WWE have any other African wrestlers other than Apollo and Kofi?
Would be cool to see Kofi (Ghana), Apollo (Nigeria) and another form an African Union stable of sorts.
Kofi's New Day schtick is beyond stale. I'd like to see him and Big E become more serious wrestlers....
It was Kenny Omega
what the hell was that?
AJ Styles' bodyguard is from Nigeria too.
Yeah, the New Day thing has run its course by now.
It's held Big E back from being taken seriously as a contender for the championship.
Seems like he's slowly shedding some of the goofiness and taking himself more seriously.
she knew to me but her persona seems to be a troll calling fans motherfuckers & simps
i can see her being an typical heel going against the way she looks
They (AEW) need to take a page from WWE. Whenever something doesn't go as planned or is a dud, Vince just presses on and doesn't even acknowledge it. But Tony Kahn is such a fanboy and he interacts with the other fans, he's going to feel compelled to try and work out of this.
EVERYTHING about this segment..
-Dude tripping and falling
-Flair knowing from jump what was about to happen,thats why Sid was saying “ i told you, oh god!”
-Booker T clenching his teeth trying to keep from laughing the whole time
-Stevie Ray"Who IS this muthafucka...?"
-Davey Boy Smith"He fell flat on his ass, He fell flat on his fookin' ass"
-Ole Anderson laughing over the mic before doing the Shockmaster voice
If so she's gonna be a very popular heel.
Lawd!!
Bruh! I swear they spent like 80% of Raw tonight on replays and recaps.
She still hasnt done the BustIt Challenge...
Raw is unwatchable. I don't even bother tuning in anymore. I'll just find out if anything important happened via social media.
