SamuraiFoochs posted:The Pinnacle is a great idea on paper being executed in a way that decidedly has me thinking "meh, whatever" in week to week execution and Blood and Guts being a wall-to-wall heel heat extravaganza after the build it got left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I don't know where the hell AEW is going with MJF with Kenny as champ. Does it.. really matter?

SamuraiFoochs posted:I mean this was supposed to be a blowoff for Pinnacle vs. Inner Circle and probably should have been, MJF PROBABLY isn't gonna beat Darby (I think Miro is), and who the hell else is the Pinnacle gonna feud with/what are they gonna do if the leader of the "best faction in AEW" isn't gonna go after a title, so...yes? Just 6 months or whatever of samey-rear end smug MJF promos with no faces to at least try to shut him uo? Hard pass. They've been pretty clear that they see this as a mid-point to the feud, not the blowoff.

Lid posted:(I assume) Onita hated the explosion match so much he's relaunching FMW as FMWE where every match is an Explosive match. Wow, suddenly the ending to Revolution 2021 is the greatest thing to happen in the history of our great sport.

I'm guessing the idea is to sell the Inner Circle as being leaderless for a little bit and having the Pinnacle with the upper hand until he returns. I don't know if that idea works as well with just Sammy being absent, but maybe they could've made it work.

Finish aside, I thought the ending stretch perfectly established MJF as the kind of guy who will absolutely abandon the Pinnacle to save his own skin.

PW Insider posted:Last night's AEW Blood and Guts match last night was live, but the remainder of the show was pre-taped. AEW chose to pre-tape the remainder of the show due to the logistics of setting up the two cages so it didn't eat into TV time. AEW offered refunds to fans who came believing they were getting a complete live broadcast They could've pre-recorded that Darby Allin bump and they just didn't. What a loving madman.

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:SCU potentially holding the titles can get them back over to FTR so they can get them over to Santana and Ortiz. Didn't they do it when FTR were doing their 20 minute gimmick? It was a good match IIRC.

Germansimp posted:Maybe I missed it being posted but was there any word on how many people took up AEW on their offer of a refund for "only" seeing Blood and Guts live instead of the full 2-hour show? I heard 5 or so.

Ethan Page is starting to get more comfortable in AEW. If the direction for Darby after losing the TNT title is an extended program with him I wouldn't hate it.

Pinnacle is the most I've ever cared about Spears. It's the perfect spot for him.

Max Caster is one of the hardest working dudes in AEW. He makes the most out of everything he's given.

The finishing stretch sort of made sense to me in that the only person in the IC with a submission move (as far as I know?) is Hager and, well, Jericho. Once they left the cage the action wasn't shot super well, but I think Wardlow was able to mostly manage to keep Hager occupied?

Lamuella posted:oh god, I'm about to start Discourse, but is anyone else getting the feeling that focus has drifted away from the women's division again? Jade does have an interview next week but they should definitely add a match to the card and they probably will.

Wasn't QT's rear end always censored? It was Dax's rear end that slipped through because it was live.

Mr. Squishy posted:I still don't fully understand why they brought over a phenomenal wrestler like Takeshita for a house show and 2 Elevation matches against someone who's not on the roster page. Great matches (I presume the house show was great), but wasn't he a known quantity? Why not put him on Dynamite. Possibly schedule conflict or they just didn't plan to use him on Dynamite at all.

I'm interested to see how they do it if Darby does retain. I think Miro takes it though.

I do wonder what the women's match for this week will be, probably get set up on Elevation. I'd love to see Shida run back her matches she had on Dark with Leyla and Kilynn to show how far they've come.

I think the endgame is kicking Taz out so if that happens Ricky can pretty easily still be the mouthpiece.
