Idk what Supernatural is. Elite are lame and thought they would have a cute karaoke entrance. Is this a music video or a wrestling entrance? Dudes have lost the plot and just love the smell of their own farts.

The elite, the the elite 🎶🎶.
I can always tell when aew is gonna be at it's best for me without even watching just gotta read everyone else's reactions on here lol. If I see rants about the big leagues and the elite I know I'm probably going to enjoy it 🤣.
To each their own, like what ya like. But I will never understand why people rant about "flippy stuff" and try to make it seem like anyone who likes it is stupid instead of just saying "Lucha style wrestling is not my thing". Like, if you don't like it that's cool, but don't pretend it's illegitimate and not wrestling. It's a style of wrestling that's very popular.

Talking about the bigger complaints of flippy wrestlers beyond them. Hell people still say it about ospreay (who they clearly haven't watched in years then) But a lot of people do like to focus on the elite over everyone else because Cornette told them to lol.

Just finished watching, and after 4 hours I don’t have the energy to write out a long review. I thought overall the show was great. The Hayter/Storm match was probably my least favorite.
FTR would’ve been nice.
Is Cole EVER coming back, or are they waiting 9 months until O’Reilly is good so they can do their Undisputed vs Elite story? If that’s what they’re doing I could actually see them bringing Fish back then too.
The Elite are back. I don’t really care other than in being emblematic of the end of BM Phil (although until he’s actually released I’ll always be afraid that one day Cult will play and I’ll have to see that POS again. I’ve never seen an episode of Supernatural, but I guess that’s the theme? I was rooting for the Triangle so I’m happy. I was kind of hoping HOB would return and waste them all though.
The ROH match was surprisingly awesome, probably the match of the night. We’re all rooting for Danielson, but it’s too soon for the Ocho to drop it though.
MJF won it in exactly the way that I expected, and hoped. I’ll say this, people are complaining about predictability. To that I say I’d rather have a story transpire in a way that makes sense than be unpredictable for the sake of fooling people at the cost of the better story. MJF staying a face would surprise people, but it’s not as compelling of a story. Mox winning would surprise people, but the story is better the way that it played out. Roman losing the title to Chad Gable would be very unpredictable, but after the initial shock does anyone (other than me) actually want to see that? The SAME people complaining about predictability would be complaining that ‘they should’ve done it that way, they missed their chance’. As crappy as most booking is, as a wrestling booker you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.
It was a predictable show, it was a blast, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

^^ re: Adam Cole Sounds like he is still dealing with post concussion stuff, and there are legitimate concerns about him wrestling again period with how bad it is. Kyle is gonna be a while too still, but I'm a little worried that may have been a career ender for Cole.

I’m honestly shocked they are trotting the elite out in Chicago on Wednesday. The crowd last night was obviously majority pro elite anti Punk but there were a good amount of Punk fans there cheering against the elite. I’d imagine this week in Chicago those numbers may be flipped.

He still isn’t flying etc. It’s def gonna be a bit of a road back.

Cage match was a good opener. Wasn’t a fan of getting out so early though. Hopefully end of this feud for a minute.
Trios was and always is a mess. Rick Knox is worthless and I went to get pizza…
Jade looked great as usual. Wish Statlander was around though.
ROH title match was good, wanted Bryan to go over, but Jericho makes sense I guess to keep going with his shtick.
Britt and Saraya was a bit clunky and I don’t like the “oh no the neck” spot in the beginning. If she can go, she can go. If she can’t, then just don’t…
Didn’t really care about the 3 way TNT title. Should unify those belts.
Sting and Darby was match of the night for me. Short and sweet. That’s the ticket.
Toni Storm and Hayter a bit clunky as well, and especially the convoluted ending, but we got there at least.
Everybody loves the acclaimed but i was TIRED by this point.
Still think MJF should should’ve chased it a bit longer, maybe win at Revolution. Idk fans are so fickle though and change with a slight breeze, so maybe they made the right call. People were kissing Mox ass though after the Punk situation.

Sam and Dean sang Carry On My Wayward Son though?
Also can’t wait for Punk to return as a heel

He played up the event being in his "neck of the woods."

I hope he’s ok to go again, but I wouldn’t want to risk his well-being by wrestling again. I echo that for Hangman, his looked bad too.

I love the media scrubs, authenticates the wrestlers and company in a way that allows an intimate look into the thinking and approach of aew.

Jon Moxley just needs to learn how to punch. I think he is one of the greatest superstars in AEW.

Best Friends Vs. The Factory: Wasn't really paying attention until Danhausen finally came out. His Evil side was cool to see. From what I actually saw of the match, if was alright I guess.
Starks Vs. Cage: Decent match, pretty obvious Ricky was winning.
Kingston Vs. Akiyama: This was much better than the tag match on Rampage. Extremely happy Kingston got to have this match, you could obviously tell it meant so much to him.
Jungle Boy Vs. Luchasaurus: Good match, felt like it went a few minutes too long, but I still enjoyed it. JB took a nasty landing from that elbow drop.
Elite Vs. Death Triangle: Was hoping Death Triangle would retain so they wouldn't be flip-flopping the titles. Great match, Death Triangle fully cementing them selves as heels is good. Best of 7 should be solid. "F#ck CM Punk" were hilarious. Penta with titties out is crazy lmao
Jade Vs. Nyla: Definitely one of Jade's best matches yet. Couple sloppy looking reversals, but I still really liked this. Her Cheetara attire was sick too. Vickie wearing Rhea Ripley's shirt popped me big.
ROH 4-Way: Probably my match of the night? It's this or the Women's title match. Final spot was great, Jericho going for the flying Judas Effect, but essentially just hitting a senton on Guevara. Wonder who Jericho will defend against at ROH Final Battle, if he even defends.
Saraya Vs. DMD: Worst match of the night, but still not the worst thing I've ever seen. Got to cut this one some slack seeing as Saraya hasn't wrestled for so long, and they were clearly both being extra careful for the most part. Hopefully we some improvement from Saraya in her next few matches.
TNT Title 3-Way: Samoa Joe winning was a huge shock tbh. This match was weird, I feel like Wardlow dominated, then Hobbs got snatched into Joe's submission and we were done. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but this or the previous match were the lowest points of the show for me.
Sting/Darby Vs. Lethal/Jarrett: Good typical Sting match. The Scorpion Death Drop/Coffin Drop combo was dope. First time I remember seeing that.
Hayter Vs. Storm: HELL YEA! One of the better women's title matches AEW has had on PPV. Not surprised by the amount of shenanigans, but Hayter winning was the right call. Now just make her the official champ TK. Also, I fully expect Hayter to get the HHH/Orton treatment from DMD/Rebel after we finish up this Toni Storm feud.
Acclaimed Vs. Swerve/Lee: Not much to say here. Not as good as All Out, but better than Grand Slam. New tag finish from Acclaimed was cool.
MJF Vs. Mox: I'm SUPER happy MLF finally has gold, and is the 1st of the pillars to win the World Title. But, I do feel a little disappointed with this match. After the stuff MJF did with Darby at Full Gear last year, Punk at Revolution, I just expected more, but Mox is a different breed than those two so I should've known. It was definetly better than their 1st match at All Out 2020.
This show was my favorite AEW PPV this year, besides Forbidden Door if you want to count that one. Everything I wanted to happen happened, I felt like all the right people won. I'd give this a strong 8.5/10

Amazing show. There's a few minor complaints that I could listen to and understand, but anyone who wasn't into this show is either disingenuous or should find a new hobby.
Rough year with big names getting injured or suspended, but they should finish the year very strong!

Marks getting their panties in a wad when someone doesn't bow down to TK and the Elite will always be my favorite thing.
