Show was okay, but didn't gel that well. A bunch of really good parts with almost as many lame ones (specially Fenix and Britt potentially being out) I'm probably definitely getting the PPV, but i'm gonna wait for comments on Britt's situation. Hopefully Fenix reaffirms he's good, too.

Plus things can change. Maybe Fenix looked like he'd recover when they checked in the morning and then his hip got worse by the afternoon.

the site got the Revival's last proposed gimmick from WWE completely correct right down to the picture, even when this subforum swore there was no way that could be true, even after both members of the team repeatedly confirmed (including on the podcast of the ex-world champ of this company) it was true|
rip to the one goon who predicted this and said they wouldn't like it https://twitter.com/AEWrestling/status/1263997611230605313 I agree with the notion that it should be the opener or something. I'm sure they can pull off a nice match, but it definitely feels like something that could've been done on tv or even Dark.

I think the fundamental difference between Stadium Stampede and WWE's cinematic matches is that SS worked and maintained realism. Bone Zone and the rest all start with music. A fine thing, sets the tone and all, but it also immediately puts you into a "this is a staged story" mentality, you're gearing up to watch an action short film. And it maintains that, has sound effects and just has this completely different tone from a wrestling match. Meanwhile here we had proper wrestling entrances and the first chunk of the match was a wrestling match. A goofy one, but still (outside of setting) something you're used to seeing in wrestling. It's not until Hangman Adam Page shows up in a horse that things start being cinematic, but still firmly grounded within kayfabe realism. The edited in crowd noises fuel that, and shows once again that the obvious choice is often the best one. But anyway, as the match continues, we get hyped up over wrestling spots. The Buckshot Lariat, Matt pulling off a counter and sealing someone in an ice machine. The Young Bucks supplexing Sammy a hundred feet and diving from the stands on to Jericho who's on a table. Everything is still wrestling, and it's presented as such, so the zanier, multiple take moments don't break the immersion since they're not the climaxes of the scene. If Matt summoned all versions of himself to kick P and P's asses, or NEO 1 shot a laser at Sammy, or the horse took out Sammy, or the Jaguar ate Jericho's face, etc., then this would've been for naught because something that isn't wrestling would've been what won the scenes. They made sure that the zany spots elevated the wrestling presented, climaxing it all right with a Super One Winged Angel, the right way to end this. I just ran around in circles but yeah, this cinematic match owned so hard because they still used what makes wrestling fun instead of simply recording an action/comedy film.

punchdaily posted:I think it's no small thing that the father of the cinematic match was in his match. The original Final Deletion was still fairly grounded in the basic language of wrestling, even if it pushed it in a different direction than it usually goes. Very true. Man, obviously Vince doesn't have the foresight to kick himself for his bad decisions, but I bet someone at WWE is frustrated as gently caress that they let Matt go like two weeks before the empty arena shows started, and due to not letting him have the creative control that they would've liked right now lmao.

Lid posted:wait does that mean that EVO is still happening? Yes. It's all online play. Most games in the card (the ones that had the least lovely netcode) are just gonna be exhibitions while there's 4 real tournaments: MK11, Killer Instinct, Them's Fightin' Herds and SKULLGIRLS. This is irrelevant, however, as Fyter Fest happened alongside CEO.

Lid posted:wait i thought EVO dropped MK11 and it was a huge deal Yup, but there was a slight adjustment in plans due to the corona. They announced how EVO would work this year earlier this week, and MK11 has the netcode to actually support an online tournament without becoming a laggy mess, so it's back in as a full tournament.

I think the IC should stay as heels and together for a long while. It might've been empty words, but Jericho was being extremely supportive about Hager's title shot, like the most ego-centric thing he had to say about was somethign like "if someone in the inner circle is a champion, we all are!". That could totally be empty words and Jericho gets jealous of Hager had he won, but he did support Hager and hurt Moxley a few times before it happened, so I really doubt Sammy or PnP getting belts would cause the IC to fall apart. The fallout from the Stampede defeat might shake the IC, but I'm hoping it just means they're going to terrorize a different part of AEW, like maybe "hunt" the Rhodes (PnP vs Dustin and QT, and get Sammy on the title picture for the TNT belt)

take the moon posted:whoa Matanzas was Jeff Cobb??? I'm still waiting for Cobb to come back, Jericho's about to stick him to Cody or whatever and Cobb kicks him in the nuts and demands a fight to reclaim the Aztec Gold from Hagger so that the demigod may return to his mortal vessel. JR "the hell is happening?!" Excalibur "Just LA stuff"

Blaise330 posted:Most cartoony idea I heard was the horse dragging a lassoed Sammy. I'm sure he'll enjoy whatever joint is wrapped up being ripped out of socket as the rope continues to tighten and cut off circulation while his flesh is being dragged against the ground. I mean, it is Sammy, so probably. But your point still stands. I was definitely hoping for some cool cartoon horse stunt in the moment, but Hangman Roronoa Zoro was good, too.

Hiram posted:Honestly Miz is a lot better than people give him credit for. I've always thought he was at least decent in the ring and fantastic on the mic. Plus I'll always love him because of that time he beat John Cena at Wrestlemania and CSammich toxxed himself into changing his name to "Hirams Bitch". Miz is definitely one of the guys I respect because he's collecting a paycheck, but if he feels like it, he can go. But it's almost never worth it to actually go, why should he? It'd be nice to see him have a run somewhere where giving a poo poo leads to stuff, tho. But gently caress him for not catching people. This BTE is so loving good.

The option to vecome australian and pay 20 also puts it perfectly in range for me to do 4 or 5 a year. Specially after Revolution's tag match.
