I enjoyed the brawl but it was a little too much for a segment meant to build up the battle royal. One of the best things you can do in a battle royal is build up to confrontations that never happen normally, and especially in the cases of things like Archer/Cage, Fenix/Starks, Archer/Butcher, Cage/Kingston, etc they wasted a lot of that by basically having the battle royal on TV. It seemed unexpectedly short sighted for Tony. It'll still be a fun match but I feel like they gave a bit too much away here. If it results in a great rating though, I'll be happy to be wrong.

Aye Doc posted:there are a bunch of minor things i would like to change about AEW but none of them really affect my enjoyment of the product. there is however one major thing, one incomprehensibly huge deal, that needs changed asap - please have someone besides JR throw it to the PiP commercials. he sounds like the world's worst, least enthusiastic southern robot when he does it Yeah I can forgive minor booking things like the battle royal and stuff (though the booking and placement of the women is still an issue for me) because most of it feeds into the chaotic feel of the show, in a good way. What I don't like is some of the technical and presentation issues they still seem to have. And for the above, if a seasoned TV veteran like JR can't throw to a commercial properly he shouldn't be on the commentary team full-time.

Alan_Shore posted:I have an incredibly important question: Where can I get the trousers Orange Cassidy wears? Because they look comfy... AF I don't know if they're the exact ones he has but I have some drawstring soft pants from Uniqlo that look like jeans are basically the same, but are less fitted around the ankles.

WOW. Good for them, hopefully it means a nice number for All Out and maybe they can break a million unopposed next week.

A dumb question that I've almost certainly asked before: does B/R live give you unlimited replays of the event like FITE does? Because it's $49.99 on BR and $54.99 on FITE.

I guess I'm in the minority that I feel like I got at least $50 worth out of that show. I liked the FTR/Hangmega and the mimosa match a heck of a lot (I'd put both solidly in the 4* range) and outside of the Hardy stuff, I enjoyed everything else. That Shida/Rosa match was worth close to the cost of the show by itself, and was what I've been dying for AEW to deliver from their women's division for some time. It's certainly not their strongest outing, but by no means do I regret paying for the show.

MJeff posted:I was on the fence on whether or not I'd gotten my money's worth going into the main event and then I loving loved the main event, so I felt like I got my I guess I can't disagree more on the FTR match and the Mimosa match. I've actually never been huge on FTR, even in NXT, but this performance worked for me, though that's largely on the excellent storytelling that Page and Kenny were doing. At every point, it felt like FTR had their number and it came off as just a perfect tag team wrestling match for me, with Hangman and Kenny barely keeping it together until the wheels came off at the end. I kind of agree they there are other teams I'd rather see with the titles than FTR, but this match needed to have high stakes to sell the importance of the story. The Mimosa match was the exact right amount of dumb/serious for me. It's the perfect transition for OC to move from a comedy character to more serious programs. Like, at no point could you have expected that match to be anything but ridiculous based on the premise, but both guys took it seriously and had a pretty great match, I thought. They got me invested in the 'floor is lava' kinds of spots around the pool, and the finish absolutely worked for me (though I think Jericho could have sold it a bit better). I thought it delivered exactly what they promised, and then some. There's always room for a more 'serious' match between the two down the line though, and I think OC is ready for that kind of program now, and won't be expected to do his lazy spots in every match.

, if just barely. It's just a little nyeeeeh because every other AEW PPV felt like a total steal at 50 bucks and this one...just a little on the fence about it. It was an up and down show and looking back, I'm just fussy about two things:

I don't want to get into whataboutism or anything but the Hardy thing isn't half as upsetting to me as that match where Charlotte beat the poo poo out of a concussed Kairi for like 15 minutes in that tag match last year. It only seems as bad or worse because we expect a lot better from AEW and I think/hope that they've absorbed the criticism they've gotten from it.

They just need one more piece of the puzzle and we could have Hobbs n' Cobb tearing up the tag division.

Am I remembering correctly that a legit injury to Matt in TNA was the catalyst for the Broken gimmick in the first place?

They need to give Tony Tomato's very catchy theme song to someone better. It's such a bop but I don't want to have to see this dude in order to hear it.

Gumball Gumption posted:I kinda hope Angelico wins. I feel like Cassidy needs to be given reasons to care about a feud or a fight, he can't really just go out there and do squash matches. I don't know if Angelico needs to win per se, he's a tag team act and shouldn't be beating a pushed singles act in a straight-ahead match. A competitive match, though, that I'd be down for. OC shouldn't be squashing anyone.

karmicknight posted:Counterpoint: Angelico owns actually. I don't disagree with this, but if they want to establish him as a singles act he should get some more wins on Dynamite before they go and put him over a dude they seem to want to push in OC. The logical thing, to me, though is to use this to give TH2 an actual story and feud against Best Friends or literally any team.
