Tony got Bandido a personally signed and addressed jersey from Raul

Great ratings on TV too from what I hear

 

[Dylmatic]

Tony is killing the cash-in contract thing right now, every title match going forward will be announced at least a week in advance.

The indoor record for wrestling in the UK if I'm getting it right is 20,000 for WWF Mayhem in Manchester in 1998 so the O2 probably wouldn't be able to get a UK record.

They've picked Co-Op Live in Manchester (brand new venue - had a LOT of teething problems but I think it's all good now) and that's apparently got a ceiling of something like 23,500 for music.

But they're only bringing Dynamite... if it was a PPV

 

[Dylmatic]

Seems like Toni is not gonna be on the post show scrum, she's usually the highlight of these shows.

 

[TheAlbionist]

I'm way behind watching the media scrum but Jesus H Christ Mercedes is a beautiful woman.

 

[Jmare007]

This was a good show, kinda surprised there wasn't a legit MOTYC with that card but oh well.

I loved how the TBS 4-way was basically a showcase for Bozilla. All three women were out there trying to get her a contract this and the tag title match were my fav matches of the night.

 

[Hey_zeus]

the ref clearly counted three then magically woke up saw the foot on the rope 2 minutes later

never change aew

One of the dumbest ref spots in awhile. Like impressively stupid

 

[CM_Burns]

Without spoilers, was this show good?

It’s refreshing to finally have another number 2 promotion do well. Too bad the mentally ill marks try to ruin it with their bullshyt.

So stupid I wouldn’t give it more than 4*

 

[Hey_zeus]

i know there's the jokes about his knees but i haven't been watching much of Tanahashi last hurrah

he got the walk

It's a puro tradition. Mutah passed down to him. You're not truly a NJPW ace of aces until your knees are made of fun dip and the wrapper they come in.

Not one bad match but not 1 legit "great" match either. It's a fun show for to watch for sure though.

 

[MushroomX]

Don't put that in the universe you know TKO love them some celebrity worshipping
