Misc. Notes: there may be more matches on Zero Hour but I'm not sure if they're official yet (I don't have Twitter to check). Also, the match between Adam Cole and Tom Lawlor has been called off. Apparently Adam Cole is out with illness. In other words, Adam Cole is out with a dumb cold, bay-bay. Sorry, I had to.

Enjoy the show everyone.

What an absolutely incredible show. Start to finish, just perfect. Both main events absolutely blew me away.

I could talk for paragraphs on it, but I'll just leave it at that and call it a day.

That pop was amazing. I LOVE Forbidden Door. And that Omega Ospreay match was....wow.

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I can't believe Okada tapped

Daniel Garcia's dancing finally got the reaction it deserves.

[-] 32XPlayer@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

You love to see it.

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Holy shit that tiger driver looked devastating.

[-] cultsuperstar@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah that looked rough lol

[-] theusualuser@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Super rough. I can't imagine that felt anything other than awful, and I'd be shocked if he weren't really hurt there.

[-] A20sidedninja@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

This Omega/Osprey match feels like the biggest thing in Wrestling right now. I know it's not, but they did a good job of making it FEEL like it is.

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It's been awesome so far. And I'm really impressed by how much Osprey is willing to bleed.

[-] tigerdactyl@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

That show was out of control! From getting ELP in the pre-show all the way to Bryan Danielson tapping out Okada with a broken arm, just wow.

[-] KalabiYau@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Banger after banger after banger after banger after banger after banger after banger etc.

Even the Zero Hour matches before and the scrum afterwards were amazing. Wrestling fans had a feast

CHRISTIAN WAS RIGHT!

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago

otoh let jack, lucha, and christian be the new christian's coalition again

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Here comes the elite pop!

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Loved that big swing to dropkick combo

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Noooo Billie, that's the hardest part of the ring!

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That was awesome timing by Omega with that foot on the rope.

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kinda feels weird that Swerve is the leader of ME yet he's the only one without a belt lol

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Dude is so good he doesn't even need a belt

Think this might top the Muta Scale tonight. :>

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago

Then again Brian Danielson is coming up

[-] uSirPatrick@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Swerve is really one of the coolest auras in AEW. just his character is so cool

[-] Chokfi@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I like Swerve a lot, but I really really hate his entrance song.

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely agree. I really wanted him to beat Orange Cassidy for the Atlantic championship…and I like OC.

[-] cultsuperstar@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kind of an odd finish to the Sting trios match.

Is Toronto so pro Elite because Kenny Omega is from Canada or is there another reason? Just curious!

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah that could be part of it. And the whole Brawl Out stuff–if it isn't a work–doesn't paint Punk in the best light.

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago

Ohh that makes sense! I just expected it to be split but it was so overwhelmingly negative I was surprised (Punk must love it though! :3)

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Oh you know Punk's eating it up lol. It'll be interesting to see if he actually goes full-blown heel though.

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

At this point if he doesn't he might as well change his name to Cody lol

[-] TellumSiege@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

That's awesome. I was just thinking about how Punk reminded me of AEW Cody lol. Let's see if he leans into it.

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Okada gently picking Bryan up by the head and cradling his neck 🥺🥹

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah they're definitely meeting again at WK

They didn't give us what we want nor did they give us Shibata in sunglasses :(

[-] Cassual@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I loved the show, but I'm very worried about Bryan Danielson not being able to use his right arm at the end. They treated the seizure as a work, but it was a very weird thing to do in a match.

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

He broke his forearm

That show was fucking amazing from beginning to end. AEW always delivers on PPV, but that was just next level.
