Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Cool, a week is good enough - I won't really have the time to watch the entire thing until Wednesday but I at least need to see Omega/Jericho soon as, because I don't want to risk it being spoiled for me. Thanks!

Just a bit of clarification if you want to watch indy wrestling like GCW or Beyond on FITE. FITE VODs dont usually have expiration dates, so you can rewatch them whenever.

AEW is in an outlier in this regard, probably to do with their upstart corporate PPV provider deals/trying to lock you into their TV providers streaming service.

My complaint (and this is about most belts) is that it should read "World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion". Just "World Champion" doesn't sound right to me.

They have enough smaller indie guys as top level wrestlers that they might not do weight classes.

Oh, I understand that (and it's not really a weight class thing), but to me, it just sounds more "proper".

If tonight's show is an indication of what will be on TNT every week, I'm going to make time in my life to watch a weekly wrestling show live for the first time in years.

That main event was a loving barn-burner too, even before the post-match. I almost thought it was going broadway but it still was drat near 45 minutes.

I didn’t see the whole card but I’m impressed by what they’ve put out. As long as the young boy in the booth stays quiet it’ll be alright.

It was like a New Japan show in a good way and they even had an in-ring promo segment not attached to an active match that moved. Real good pace that lost not a single soul watching.

Seriously from Kip/Sammy to about when the nose break started to slow down Kenny/Chris:

1) nearly a full 4 hours had passed and nobody noticed in terms of crowd effect,
2) the crowd was (deservedly) hyped and engaged throughout,
and 3) there wasn't a single what or boring chant!

  • Hangman Page won the Casino Battle Royale on the pre-show.
  • Kip Sabian defeated Sammy Guevara on the pre-show.
  • SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) defeated Strong Hearts (Cima, T-Hawk and El Lindaman).
  • Brit Baker defeated Nyla Rose, Kylie Rae, and Awesome Kong, the latter who was added as a surprise opponent by Brandy.
  • Best Friends defeated Angélico and Jack Evans, they were jumped postmatch by Super Smash Brothers who teleported in with a bunch of masked henchmen.
  • Hikaru Shida, Riho & Ryo Mizunami defeated Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki & Emi Sakura in a Joshi Showcase which was only let down by the timekeeper calling for the bell at the wrong time and getting death-stared by the ref. It was a superb match.
  • Cody defeated Dustin Rhodes in a shockingly great match where Dustin bled like a stuck pig. Postmatch, Cody invited Dustin to join him and reform The Sons of Dusty to face The Young Bucks at the next show. Dustin accepted.
  • Bret Hart presented the new AEW Belt and called out Hangman Page who will be facing the winner of Jericho/Omega at the next show for it. MJF came out and talked poo poo about Page and Bret, then Jungle Boy when he showed up. Jimmy Havoc came out and he, Page and Jungle Boy put a beating on MJF. Bret slipped off the ramp on his way backstage, no word on how hurt he might be.
  • The Young Bucks retained the AAA World Tag Titles against The Lucha Bros.
  • Chris Jericho defeated Kenny Omega in the main event. Postmatch he demanded the fans thank him for making AEW a success. Jon Moxley came out of the crowd, DDTed Jericho and the ref, then tried to do the same to Kenny who fought back and they spilled out of the ring. They fought up the ramp and Moxley eventually DDTed him onto the giant poker chips on the stage and then tossed him off the stage to end the show.
