This episode has been absolute chaos

And here I am, with my post-show thoughts (in no particular order):

KANGAROO KICK!

Stadium Stampede? At Wembley? Yes, please.

Really hoping we get a Daddy Ass return at All In.

When can I get a print of that wonderfully awful Chris Judas/Carny Piece of Shit painting?

Adam Cole's face during the Outback Steakhouse bit had me laughing out loud. Also, KANGAROO KICK!

Golden Elite vs Bullet Club Gold & Takeshita? I'm down. Despite turning heel, I still love me some Takeshita. Mainly because I'm a DDT mark. Loser must drop "Gold" from their team name and replace it with "Silver".

Nothing against any of the women that will be in the 4 way, but as soon as I saw the tournament bracket last week, I knew who would be in the match at All In. I was kind of hoping there would be some sort of upset. Should be a fun match nonetheless.

If BTYBB beats Aussie Open for the ROH Tag Titles (with a KANGAROO KICK!), and then Cole wins the BBB, that's going to be one awkward as fuck, back-stabby as all hell, tag title reign, and I absolutely want it.

The Texas Chainsaw Product Placement Death Match... certainly happened. I feel like it was lacking some Robocop. I don't think it was bad, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it, because I usually love goofy shit in my wrestling.

I blinked and missed the finish to the main event.

KANGAROO KICK!

The BTYBB bro day vids feel so out of place and everytime I still end up begrudgingly entertained. MJF and Cole have both been massive dicks but somehow being out the little kid in each other.

The Texas Chainsaw match was too chaotic for me at that point. I couldn't really focus and by the time I looked up it looked like a no DQ 4v4 match. Probably would've been better on Rampage but sponsors want what they want

"Begrudgingly entertained" should be a catch phrase for wrestling fans.

I'm glad it wasn't just me that found it hard to enjoy the Chainsaw match.

Two fifty year olds to celebrate a fifty year old movie. Now it makes sense.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Decent episode. I'm not sure how I feel about some of those matches for All In, but
I get that TK has to fit as many wrestlers on the card as he can – gotta keep the locker room happy.
If there's one thing that episode taught me it's that I need more Joker Sting in my life.

Really happy to see the Bunny back

I don't hate the BCG vs. Elite match at Wembley...I just feel like a rivalry like that deserves a longer build.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Idk how they are going to feud but AEW has a tendency to book feuds backwards. Kenny is involved though so I don't think it's just for nothing though.

All 3 of the Golden Elite technically have history with Jay(Juice by Association) and Callis(Takeshita by association)

Sounded like Taz broke on the 'rib' part 😂
