The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[TheAlbionist]

She wanted to be in ROH but I don't know if she wanted it to be this long.

It's coming, I low-key think they're trying to throw people off the All In scent to keep some sort of surprise tbh.

Last time Mercedes talked about her in a promo she said something like "I know where to find Athena and I can go to ROH any time I want her" - felt a lot like it was setting up Athena popping out to catch Mercedes slipping on AEW TV/PPV to me.

she could come in and take the TBS title from Mercedes after All In

Win a Gauntlet title shot, cash-in to make it a triple threat. And watch the IWC burn to the ground over a perceived lack of build.

Depending on the Toni/Mercedes build I could see it and it'd make for a great one-night story in her home town, but I've got a feeling their feud won't need a third wheel.

Gauntlet, face-off after the title match and I'll be happy.

One of the GOAT matches in ROH history is now available to watch for free on the ROH YouTube

The fact Kobashi dominated so thoroughly (rightfully so) and the match is still so fukking good is a testament to him, Joe and that crowd. As special as you get.

Kobashi thinking the crowd would not know him or treat him like a token foreign heel and asking if he should do old school territorial invader stuff is still the best story ever. Dude had no idea the internet had made him God to so many people in the US.

She really left a bad taste in everyone's mouths in Austria when she came in and creative-controlled her way past this clearly very angry young lady to take the promotion's belt.





Edit: And the other woman (defending champ) in the triple threat

Where can I view this so called Austrian wrestling?

Only difference here is the type of venue. SummerSlam was in a football stadium with a fairly even bowl layout. In baseball stadiums the majority of the stands are in one direction.

For equivalents, think WM19 in Seattle or the recent Royal Rumble in Tampa. Or the Tokyo Dome.

That being said - yes it's absolutely going to have huge chunks tarped off

They are definitely hoping for 30k+.

At 20k there's no reason to not have done it in an arena with a minimal setup and jammed the place. Like WWE in PR.

I believe United Center is biggest. Far as major sport arena goes. I know Panthers one is up there as well. Question is how small of a setup they willing to do. Cuz I know there are floor seats added to the total, but I'm sure they'll have to close off plenty of sections for the stage like in most shows. Not sure how many seats they can fill in a major arena with their usual setup. Good thing about a baseball or football stadium is that they have more space to work with as far as stage setup goes. Look at mania and all the space that takes up with the stage and ramp. I think the way they set the stage and angle the viewing would help make it look better on television. Wouldn't give them as much space in an arena if they wanted to go big with the stage and decor like they have in Wembley.

Blue Panther worked an ROH match, got jumped and Dragon made the save


They are singing along to FInal Countdown on that pic so that's definitely not airing anywhere
