AEW in June 2023: Two shows, one thread

[909]

Yeah I think it’s stupid. That being said, Bandido and Takeshita hoo boy

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I'm sure you can understand how they might have gotten overlooked underneath the rest of this deluge?

Yeah those 60 posts over 3 days have been a brutal pace to keep up with.

But, I like it. It's different from the countless hard rock songs over the last 25 years. It kinda reminds me of Animotion from Saturday Night's Main Event in that it's not a traditional wrestling theme.

Having been too young I never saw the original SNME on NBC, that was the theme song? Here I thought Vince just really liked using it for any 80s flashback-y segment like the Firefly Fun House match and a couple of other times.

Nick Wayne is graduating from high school today and will join the AEW roster in two weeks

(Insert gif of Donald Glover walking into the burning house with pizzas)

Christian and MJF fighting over who gets to cut the dead dad promo on him.

Great.

The old JR would have worked this into an angle to get someone heat but now he just lazily tweets about it.

When JR doesn’t give a god damn about the business, why should we.

 

[909]

The old me woulda made tons of jokes about him falling but my mom has lewy body dementia and falls all the time so can't do that

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

Talk about a real collision!

We all grow older and we have no control over it and it really sucks.

Chris Hero is backstage tonight for Collision. Fightful said he might get a backstage role.

If you're not on here multiple times a day reading and/or replying to every post, sixty in one thread is a lot.

Best signing of 2019.

JR has a perfect black eye. Looks like he blew a squid.

 

[909]

I saw Chris at a couple things recently and dude is really fat so I hope they brought him in to wrestle. They don't have enough fat in the company.

 

[Valeyard]

I don't know if I want tempting more fate backstage with him and Kingston. Climate is bad as it is, don't accidentally add shit

An instrumental version.

They would close out with Phil Collins Take me Home, which I have to assume was partly an inside joke on wrestling lingo

That was just the intro of the song but what a fucking sexbomb theme. Vince knew what he was doing in the 80s.

AEW wouldn’t have CM Punk go out there and talk about how he never lost the World title and he is still the true World Champion without any plan to eventually have a unification match, right?






RIGHT?

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

this was fine but nothing special

 

[geniusMoment]

I thought Andrade looked the best he's looked since NXT. Miro looked great. Punk's promo was good. Punk in the ring looked tentative and maybe a little nervous. But, Punk never was a great athlete, and at 44 coming off injuries that is kinda what you're gonna get.

Nigel was great on color. Kelly was bland, and couldn't get up for the big moments.

 

[909]

Hard to make great TV when a lot of really talented people can't even be there. The Wednesday shows will have no such problem seeing as only one guy ain't allowed to be there. The show was ok but this is a show that has to fight uphill and it's not gonna be easy.

The Acclaimed are completely lame now to the point of nearly ruining the show. Please beat the old guy up

 

[Valeyard]

So is any of this worth watching later?

 

[geniusMoment]

There wasn't anything terrible on it. But, nothing great either. Andrade and Buddy kicked the shit out of each other.

Ever since Max got reprimanded it's ruined the gimmick. The rapping gimmick only works if you push the line. And it doesn't seem AEW is willing to let that happen.

Andrade vs Buddy

Little clips I'm seeing have Punk lookin' just old.

He looked really old and tbh once you don't like him, the luster is totally gone

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I don’t think it’s hurt the Acclaimed to take them off of TV for sometime and let them tour the indies or NJPW USA so they can learn a new hold.

Like I haven't seen the match in full yet, just clips here and there, but he looks worse than I expected. Jarrett looks healthier.
