I thought the match was good, but definitely not top 5. Probably not even top 5 of Bryan matches for me at least.

I hope hardy comes with soft goods doubtful with all that ink. He comes with that chair though.

One of the best ppvs of all time, and I thought every match delivered except for the TBS title match and the Jericho match. Also, happy for Swerve. 👍 Danielson/Ospreay is one of the greatest matches of all time. With that being said, I HATED the finish to the match. It honestly killed the rest of the show for me. Between that, and there was just no way for anyone to follow it. But even with the finish, it is still automatically one of my favorite matches I've ever seen. I told my gf how some "wrestling fans" online have been trying to poke holes in the match by saying "but what is the story?", to which she replied "the same as in football or any other sport, to find out who is better." It's pretty funny how she isn't even a fan and she is still smart enough to get that while others can't. Lol I have no problem admitting that imo, the greatest matches of all time are Danielson matches in AEW. He is just on another level. As of right now, my all time Mount Rushmore matches are: Danielson vs Hangman - Winter is Coming Danielson vs Sabre Jr - Wrestledream Danielson vs Shibata - Collision Danielson vs Ospreay - Dynasty That works every once and awhile, but AEW/RoH does it constantly. It’s not a real contest. It’s entertainment. Like I said it’s an action movie with little to no plot. Just stunts. Yeah we get it, every wrestler wants to be the very best, but spin that yarn a bit. Give people a reason to care more than “oh this guy has been doing it for 25 years and this guy is real popular for 10 years or so.” Mark booking.

Brief thoughts because I’m still up but finally home.
Obligatory guy who was cheering for every heel and making sarcastic smart re-marks the whole show. Another guy who was obsessed with Toni Storm got kicked out for being too slizzed. Homeboy killed at least 3 deuce-deuces before the Bryan/Ospreay match. Punk chants got shut down during ladder match.
Anywho, Trent and Sydal was solid just don’t care about either guy.
Not gonna lie, I like OC and remembered he and Shibata tagged against someone, but had to look it up. That’s how uninteresting and forgettable Moriarty/Taylor are…
Wanted Acclaimed to win, but don’t hate the Ass Boys. Switchbitch just does nothing for me and Juice is definitely missed. Lots of cardboard cutouts and people hoping he might show up.
PAC/Okada was solid. Hadn’t really seen Okada work, but he’s good and his facials/mannerisms are on point. Nevilles always fun to watch fly.
Surprised HoB won. This was a mess of course because Rick Knox of course…really hard to keep track of legal men when the ref is a scarecrow. Eddies chops look just as bad in person. Mark Briscoe rules and is hilarious. Gonna have to go back and watch some classic stuff of them eventually.
I like Julia and Willow, so fun match and couldve went either way for me. Feel like Willow will just be a transitional champ for Sasha though. Idk
Roddy/Kyle…I went and pissed and got some chicken tendies and a shirt.
Hook/Jericho was fun. I’m an AE baby and so old school garbage matches are kinda my guilty pleasure. Jericho has been pretty bad though so idk about giving him a belt even if there’s 20 and it matters the least.
Rosa/Storm I liked and the crowd was up for. Lots of dueling chants, but stronger ones for Storm. Could’ve went either way for me. I know some people dislike TR, I like her. She’s spicy.
The Main Event! For me at least was Bryan/Ospreay. Great match the crowd was almost completely up on their feet for. Fletcher and Skye Blue were watching from the curtain. I’m not a big fan of kicking out of clean finishes though. Thought Bryan should’ve gotten a cheeky win here by feigning injury but whatever.
Ladder match was a train wreck of course so I stuck around for that but as soon as Bucks and Perry with the assist I was out. Congrats to Swerve, I don’t dislike him or Joe, but had 3 1/2 hr drive and was OUT before crowd and traffic.
I give it a solid 8/10 would’ve changed some stuff but good card on paper and it delivered well.

I've been to both Forbidden Door events, All Out 2021, Summerslam 2022 and 2023, but I have never felt an energy so electric as it was during Ospreay Vs. Danielson. I will genuinely never forget that 30 minute chunk of my life. Phenomenal show, TBS and FTW Title matches were obviously the low points, but the TBS Title can get a pass since Julia clearly still has a busted shoulder. Jericho/Hook is inexcusable. Wasn't the worst thing ever, but Jericho beating Hook is just straight up bad. Missed all the pre-shows matches waiting in line for a big ass pretzel lol. my section was pretty up for the TBS title match.

Had a decent time. Done with AEW for the foreseeable future though. Tired of an action movie with little to no plot. Plus the fan base is insufferable. Tired of Bryan hitting his knee and never beating anyone. All these jabronis are more important than John Cena…ok…

Just got my Ultimate KO and Zayn this past Thursday. While I still really like the figures because of the new heads, the moment the figures represent, and just because it’s figures of KO and Zayn, they aren’t without their flaws. Outside of the height issue (Zayn looks giant next to Owens, even though irl Zayn is only an inch taller than Owens), and the missing logos they obviously couldn’t include due to copyright, the KO figure also has the dreaded PAINTED SKIN TONE on all of his hands, as opposed to previous figures of his where the hands were molded in skin color. I also noticed they didn’t paint the inside of the mouth for the open mouth smile heads for both Zayn and KO. They only painted their teeth… What copyrighted logos? I think they’re referring to the PWG logos.

Still waiting on Chase U, Isla Dawn, Brooks Jensen, Fallon Henley, Wendy Choo, Nikita Lyons, etc before any of those people.

Hows being a MIB buy since they started covering half the figure? I’m keeping one Bayley in box, but I’m not happy about it. Marvel Legends are even worse It says it on the back. I’m not sure what you’re asking otherwise. The box covers up like 1/3 of the figure making the legs not visible in package. I was asking if being a mint in box collector if that’s annoying.

109 Seth Rollins received. Lovely figure. Forgot that the attire is from when he beat Balor at Money in the Bank. Mostly a MOC guy so I cannot speak on movement.

Curious if you could swap out the shin part of the boots for a taller laced boot mold to increase the height some Someone did that with Terry Gordy, but you’ll need tall laces boots.

As in shipped, or a pre-order going up? Like preorders. I know we had series two up, but everyone is finding them UE 1 in stores which makes me a bit anxious. I don’t remember preorders for these going up. They had them for Mankind and Eddie I think, but I don’t trust Walmart with preorders. People just got their RVD or Brock and those are clearance at my stores.

No, I mean why would they bring him back. He didn't do well the last time he was there. I was a big Hardy Boyz fan, but don’t need to see either wrestle anymore. Matt can be a Producer/trainer maybe. Jeff can be a merch juggernaut like usual. They’ll be back for Hall of Fame at least.

Bro, I don't know where you are, but seeing Sasha Banks figures on a shelf with the MNW Ultimates is WILD Battlepacks, especially 2 female packs always rot. My stores still have Bossman/Bulldog, Chyna/Trish, Alexa/Charlotte, and Bayley/Sasha all over. They also never clearance regular figures. RA Ultimates though, $15…

Thing I hate about the new tag titles is they look huge. Why are the tag titles as big or bigger than the world titles?

Is Bisch packaged like a typical UE or is his packaging like Kane from the Raw ring? Like Kane.

Saving money is cool too. I don’t get Retros and Superstars because they're overpriced happy meal toys. I agree with you about the retros, but I actually think the Superstars figures are really great. I think the retros are a step back from the Hasbro's, but the Superstars are definitely better than the Remco's. I agree they’re better maybe, but I don’t like the price point for top heavy, pretty limited movement still.

lol @ people with the “Can someone find these and buy one for me?” posts. Get out there and hunt, like we’re all doing. All 10 of the Walmarts near me are barren and never got these...I also have a full time job and other responsibilities. Normally I agree with you on what you post. But I get the people asking for retail plus shipping (and maybe a little tip for the trouble) when it comes to these. This crap shouldn't be so ing hard to obtain. Definitely need gas money. Ain’t cheap and driving around town looking for these becomes a part time job. Maybe if someone happens across them and has the extra $72~
