Why does Statlanders reign feel like what a babyface women's world champ would be

This match has felt really dangerous. I feel like every other spot has me expecting someone to go out on a stretcher...

3 Things I want:

1, Julia as TBS champion

2, Julia as the new Supreme of the House of Black

3, Bunny, Abadon, and Julia as a trios

For real. I was a bit suspicious when it was announced, but there really are several huge dream matches. And with Tony's hype, who knows what else will happen? Edge appearance? Mercedes Mone? A complete let down?

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

AEW doesn't consistently build PPVs but I never feel like a show is going to suck. If anything I feel it's always guaranteed to deliver.

Especially hyped for that 4 way tag just for the chaos

"The pay per view hasn't even started yet! We gave you that shit for free!"

Mox killing it again

Taz in top form. Love it.

[–] TommySalami@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was a fucking great TBS championship match. I think my favorite women's match in quite a while.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Seriously. Those two knocked it outta the park.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Posted this early so people can see the early start time (6:30 ET / 3:30 PT).

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

The Callis family have some damn good chemistry.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Great, now I can't get the visual of JR scissoring someone out my head...

Holy shit, the Last Supper painting for the Don Callis family...

MJF is a true white meat scumbag babyface brother

I'm shocked at what a great face MJF is. Just shows how he has everyone, including me, eating out of the palm of his hand.

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay! Mox is here!

Glad he's well enough to travel. Can't wait to see him back in the ring!

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah the fact he can travel is a good sign. Hopefully he isn't out too long.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn Mox is killing it on commentary.

Yeah, he's pretty much doing play by play and color at the same time.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a feeling the House isn't going to win tonight

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Nice stalling suplex by Tito

Love a good stalling suplex.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Is Caster wearing an MJF shirt? lol

BREAD CLUB REPRESENT!

Someone in the crowd is holding a sign that is just Nishiki's face (from the yakuza video game series) and trying to figure out why is making me crazy.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I legit wanted The Righteous to win ;__;

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed they lost clean too.

EDIT: Clean's the wrong word. I guess I was expecting more shenanigans leading to an MJF win

[–] FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lost clean? Every big moment in the match was MJF cheating including using the ropes for leverage on the pin.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, true. Don't mind me, I'm still a little out of it.

[–] FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, no problem. Been a long weekend for me to so I get it. And I wouldn't worry about the righteous, losing to MJF won't bury them.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Man I hope so. I've loved what I've seen from them so far.
And I'm just coming out of 8 days in the hospital. I'm all sorts of groggy lol

Same here. Would have really established them as a force to go over the champ.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Same, in hindsight the match is weird to think about. I guess the ROH Tag Titles are more important to the story

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I can't believe there were no shenanigans in that match

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I love you Nigel but it's pronounced Christian not Christy-on lol

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Those Shibata forearms looked STIFF

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So FTR are definitely winning tonight.

We get Young Bucks vs FTR 4 at some point

Classic AEW chaotic style of match.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah my money was on the Bucks. They gotta avenge their loss at All In.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

As slimy as he is, Don is a great manager for his family

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Don with his own last dinner, sounds like a narcissistic ego maniac to me

Post show thoughts:

The show was worth the price on the BD vs ZSJ match alone.

MJF absolutely went full scumbag to retain against The Righteous and I'm all for it. #OurScumbag

Kingston vs Shibata did not disappoint.

Julia Hart vs Statlander was awesome. Getting REAL tired of the "one women's match" stuff, though.

I swear Darby is made of fucking rubber. Darby... don't die. Please.

I love hating Carny Piece of Shit, and his family.

Fucking seriously, BD vs ZSJ was a masterclass of a match. Watch it however you can.

Son of the Year, Nick Wayne.

Battle of the Adams! Page vs Cole vs Copeland. Book it, Tony!

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

🕺🕺🕺 Nana is extra hype tonight
