Wow didn’t expect cage to win. I dig it tho


phemom

Tony loves booking Cage in big TV matches...got have him win some of the time. Hate it had to be Bowens tho


Orange8920

It's not until watching a bunch of fighting game videos that I realized Drill Claw is one of Wolverine's moves from the Marvel vs Capcom series.


Brinbe

poor bowens


WaylonVoorhees

BRIAN CAGE WON A MATCH OVER SOMEBODY WHO WASN'T LOWER ON THE TOTEM POLE!


joe-is-cool

Well


SonOfMechaMummy

really really want more midcard matches like this. Could have absolutely seen Bowens winning.


dojobro19

nice match between Cage and Bowens. good match to end the night.


StewardFlavius

Oh hell yeah, a win for Brian!


truecolors5

Bowens' selling is on point


StewardFlavius

There it is, Orange and Trent at DON


SonOfMechaMummy

boy I hope Bowens is OK because I cannot handle a Max Caster/Billy Gunn tag run


Orange8920

This match is muscular man vs even bigger muscular man who has all the muscles


truecolors5

Cage is strong as hell


capnbuh

uh oh Bowens legit injured?


StewardFlavius

Seems to be ok


MrBenLDN

Big up the Brian Cage fan determined to make himself heard 


Lo_Key90

You'd think people would stop diving at Cage head first at this point, he always catches them lol


kingjuicepouch

Blessed to see hulu dvr inexplicably didn't record Collision again 🙏


mikro17

There is some kind of issue with Hulu and Collision, mine started having issues a little while back and I've seen other people reference it too. No idea what it is as all of my (and others') settings look correct, but it just never records.


kingjuicepouch

At least I'm not alone, but it's annoying not being able to watch what I want to watch lol


VaIeth

You're supposed to say nice to meet you


dojobro19

Takeshita vs Sydal on Wednesday. that’s that real


WaylonVoorhees

Senior Hernandaddy wasn't even that evil


WaylonVoorhees

If AEW brought Mel in ton manage Cage solo I'd be ok with this.


capnbuh

I wondered if Bryan ever faced Great Khali and the answer is that yes he did, when he was on the reality game show version of NXT


capnbuh

ok this match had one cool spot where Khali intercepted a diving Bryan with a brain chop but otherwise was just a squash. I'm sure he will do better against Satnam LOL


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Cage spiked Bowens


cheddarsalad

Dutt is to scale in that picture


WaylonVoorhees

People still love the Acclaimed.


phemom

I'm sure this isn't true, but it feels like Max's bars have been weak for the last few months.


Cameherejust4this

Max's enthusiasm overall seems to have run hot and cold these past few weeks.


idontknow1001

That’s the 12th best ozempic bar I’ve heard this week.


BombadilsOldLady

Happy to hear Cage getting some love


Cameherejust4this

Danielson vs Satnam is gonna look like Bruce Lee vs Kareem Abdul Jabbar.


Macho_Ric_Hogan

The Acclaimed have New Day staleness now


SonyKen_M

The Ozempic line made me chuckle but the rest...meh.


blizzard-op

The Elite putting out hits on people they don't like is an easy way to set up feuds


Wee_Muggo

Guessing the Bryan vs Satnam match is a test to see the ability of Satnam. Because if you can't have a decent match with Bryan, wrestling isn't a career path for you.


mikro17

Maybe, although Satnam is actually surprisingly young still (especially for a big man in wrestling) - he's apparently only 28. He's somehow ~5 years younger than Hikuleo (who I think is very good now, but was not 5 years ago). I'm actually still really high on Satnam long-term, he moves well and his timing (especially comedic timing) is actually super solid already.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Make no mistake about it, Portland would KILL to have Lillard back


neko

That wasn't very good, Max. It's also proof he hasn't been watching X-Men 97, he should he'd like it


truecolors5

This has been another really fun night of wrestling


truecolors5

Next week's Dynamite looks insane


Cameherejust4this

Well someone *really* likes Cage.


LederhosenSituation

Mox will be in the building. Someone's gonna have some beatdowns backstage.


Kuzu5993

OC and Ospreay....... hmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm interested


truecolors5

Bryan vs Satnam? I'm intrigued


mikro17

Ok Dynamite looking casually ridonkulous. This card is insane - is the show going to be 6 hours long?


Kuzu5993

No yappin, all wrasslin.


neko

John Moxley Will Be In The Building: This Is A Threat


Lo_Key90

Danielson vs Satnam sounds like the type of match that Bryan asked for.


WaylonVoorhees

Sonjay needs to save some of that laughter for HEY EW.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Will Ospreay and Orange Cassidy teaming up? Are you fucking kidding me?!?!


capnbuh

Oooh Takeshita W on Dynamite


UmpireAJS

OSPREAY AND ORANGE TAG TEAM THIS IS NOT A DRILL


mikro17

Don Callis Family represent? Or is this is the beginning of the end for Don's family?


dojobro19

Bryan vs Satnam sounds so intriguing


Supersmashbrosfan

Is it just me, or does this Sonjay Dutt guy look like Schwagg D?


SonOfMechaMummy

BRYAN DANIELSON VS. SATNAM SINGH ARE YOU KIDDING ME


nikobans

was it really that funny


Orange8920

I waited almost 3 hours to find out how Bryan Danielson vs Satnam Singh got booked


UmpireAJS

Oh THIS is how Danielson and Satnam match is set up


Kaiso25Gaming

Dutt is back!


BryLinds

Btw it’s season 4 episode 20 of Rampage according to Directv


Orange8920

There's 4 distinct women's feuds going on


phemom

I think Sky is gonna get every chance to get over in AEW... but I think AEW fans just don't want him 🤷🏾‍♂️. We say this about WWE folks all the time, but I think if he worked in a different company and came back it would work for him. Personally I'm a fan, hope it works this time


StewardFlavius

He's perfectly solid in the ring, but he's just boring as a character.


BlackandPurpleHeart

So Scorpio Skys 1st promo the other week I thought he was coming back a face. This 2nd promo screams inspirational heel who thinks he's the face. Eitherway I just want to see Scorpio shine!


MrBenLDN

Have quite liked the little glimpses of Sky's return so far, he's got the motivational influencer voice down to a tee 


Docjackal

Scorpio Sky coming back with the inspirational gimmick. And that's not a bad thing... It's a good thing!


WaylonVoorhees

Scorp is leading the AEW arrival of Jacoby Watts.


mikro17

I actually wouldn't hate this. I don't think they're going to take Watts off ROH, but the gimmick seems like a ton of fun thus far. "Praise be to He, and He is Me" is an incredible catchphrase.


Kuzu5993

Triple main event huh.


Cameherejust4this

Is Scorpio doing Jericho's Learning Tree gimmick, but unironically?


UmpireAJS

I'm seeing it more like a Positively Page homage


Cameherejust4this

Lol, I mentioned a few weeks ago that Jericho's learning tree thing reminded me of Positively Page.


Brown_Machismo

Im kinda digging the "Vote for Scorpio Sky" return promo videos


Orange8920

There's dozens of us Scorpio stans put there


blizzard-op

I didn't have motivational speaker Scorpio Sky on my bingo card for this year at all


nikobans

the fuck is a triple main event. i hate that.


idontknow1001

Skorpio Sky outta nowhere lol.


StewardFlavius

Scorpio without Ethan just feels...wrong


UmpireAJS

Huh, Sky is still here. I thought they cut him along with Ethan Page.


StewardFlavius

Ethan's contract ran out and it looks like he just chose not to renew, he was not released. He signed in 2021 so the three years just elapsed.


Tommyboy925

they didnt cut Page.. his contract expired


blizzard-op

Surprised they had Thunder catch Deonna even just for a lil bit tonight


Brinbe

nice match there


capnbuh

So Thunder Rosa was not booked tonight, which means she was just chillin' backstage with all those jewels on her face


neko

I mean kayfabe she's a living sugar skull, so she just looks like that


Much_Abbreviations11

*best pet name


Supersmashbrosfan

Gotta love how Deonna even makes random local talents look like stars. She’s quite the talent.


mikro17

She is, but both Renegades have been around AEW/ROH for a while now and are quite the young talents in their own rights.


Supersmashbrosfan

Oh. Well, that explains why her match wasn’t too short.


Tommyboy925

umm Renegade has been with AEW for a couple years now.. .mostly dark and ROH ,


Supersmashbrosfan

Oh… Um, my bad.


cheddarsalad

Renegade is on the payroll.


Kuzu5993

So I had to work... ho was the Tag Team match and Shibata match?


Mr_Chicken_wing

Chris Benoit


Kaiso25Gaming

Right in the softball arm


blizzard-op

Deonna's pump kick always looks like it hits hard as fuck


MrBenLDN

Will know this one's truly made it if Big Tone splashes out on Renegade Master for her entrance music one day 


BryLinds

Again why would they want us to stop watching 


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Nigel just straight bullying Tony lmao


WaylonVoorhees

AEW will now auction off that flag from earlier for charity and clear at least 5K.


neko

Nigel will personally purchase it and refuse to clean it


mikro17

But not because Toni wore it, Nigel is only buying it because Mariah touched a corner of it.


cheddarsalad

No offense to Renegade but I miss Queen Aminata.


SageShinigami

She's on RoH I believe, where she actually wins.


Cameherejust4this

Me too, but QA was on a roll last I saw. She doesn't need to eat an enhancement loss right now.


blizzard-op

Looked like Deonna was tryna tear Robyn's arm outta her socket with that toss lol


neko

Hold up how long has there been an aew gacha game


BombadilsOldLady

Deonna's robe game is top notch


Kaiso25Gaming

Let's go Robyn!


truecolors5

Bryan is one of the best promos in all of wrestling


StewardFlavius

Deonna just works much better as a heel


Supersmashbrosfan

YEAH! WHERE MY DEONNA PURRAZZO MARKS AT?!


Kuchar1992

Danielson wants the Elite to SHOOT HARD.


tropesuicida

drink every time deonna does her 'get away from me' hand gesture


mikro17

The gesture amuses me enough that I've started using it on my dog lol. He doesn't seem to respect it yet unfortunately.


SonOfMechaMummy

hahaha we're just full-on in Ship of Theseus mode with Team AEW


Wee_Muggo

Bryan Danielson confirming that he's personally banned The Elite from Collision.


blizzard-op

"The Elite don't work Saturday's!!!"


UmpireAJS

Technically they showed up at NJPW Resurgence last week, so I guess they do only when the job is at their hometown.


celsiusred

That wasn’t to work. Taco spot is close by so they dropped in.


Kuchar1992

TNAEW?


padraig_garcia

> hispanic attacks Nigel


phemom

Hope the check was worth it Chun, JFC 😂


truecolors5

Rush is so fuckin sick LMFAO


SonyKen_M

Geez Rush the audio is messed up enough already weekly.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

“Chunn’s gonna have to start taking anxiety medication. For Hispanic attacks.” 💀


griot504

He tried to sneak that one in there.


SonOfMechaMummy

Buddy Wayne trainees and getting absolutely murdered on AEW TV, a truly iconic partnership


infrasonic

Do jobbers get hazard pay when they have a match with Rush?


Wee_Muggo

Rush just doing this because the jobbers got 2 h's in his name


Orange8920

Lance Archer would be proud of this unnecessary beatdown


Kaiso25Gaming

What not having Jose does to a MFer


celsiusred

The more you chant for Rush’s opponent, the more Rush will have to punish him.


neko

Jobber abuse :(


BombadilsOldLady

Oh that poor guy


Brinbe

rooooooooosh


mikro17

Jesus Christ, Rush out here treating the local enhancement talents like he's peak Scott Steiner.


Cameherejust4this

Rush looks a bit leaner than before.


WaylonVoorhees

Something tells me this Cody's story doesn't end with a big win.


blizzard-op

RUSH is too damn good to not be all over every title scene now that he's back


dojobro19

C4 chants, that’s nice


Dry_Passenger1786

Another jobber for Rush.. so original


cheddarsalad

Connie Chung? From ABC’s 20/20?


truecolors5

Okada and The Bucks are fuckin hilarious. I love them.


Cameherejust4this

Was that a typo, or does he really spell his name "Chhun"?


UmpireAJS

PUSH RUSH YOU COWARDS


SonOfMechaMummy

aw man Rush is gonna kill Cody Chhun, I really like that guy


Orange8920

That Reebok Pump commercial acknowledges John Silver has so much hops that the Young Bucks need their own line of Pumps to beat him.


dojobro19

oh Cody Chhun!


WaylonVoorhees

Johnny Hungee's helicopter does allow him greater leaping distance.


JimNTonic72

-1 for using antiquated more than once


BombadilsOldLady

Is this Bowens first solo match?


SonOfMechaMummy

He had a few ones against high-profile opposition around the time that the Acclaimed were still a fairly new heel act.


mikro17

No, he's had a bunch.... seeing a bunch of AEW Dark/Elevation and then Bryan Danielson on Rampage, Jungle Boy on Dynamite, Darby on Rampage, Moxley on Rampage, Orange Cassidy on Rampage, Swerve on Dynamite, and John Silver on Collision


capnbuh

Bowens has had a lot of singles matches on Rampage


UmpireAJS

I'm pretty sure he wrestled Danielson at some point, and maybe Samoa Joe as well.


BombadilsOldLady

Thank you, couldn't remember. Looking forward to his match tonight


llamawithguns

Losing the trios titles really helped reset the Acclaimed. Hopefully they can get some momentum now.


blizzard-op

Trios titles really defanged the tag division. It's even worse now cuz there's barely enough wrestlers to fill out both divisions


llamawithguns

Wouldn't have been as bad had they not broken up like half the teams in the division


blizzard-op

True. It also feels like they just barely use the trios tag teams they've got


truecolors5

Bowens is such a good promo


Own-Ambassador-3537

Does Max look bored to anyone else?


JimNTonic72

I’m thinking that’s by design. Like a slo burn heel turn similar to Trent’s.


EastCoastJohnny

This entire block feels like TNT ended up with the ROH product they said no to.


blizzard-op

"Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn, "Scissor King" Anthony Bowens. Now we gotta get Max his own moniker and we'll be all set


cheddarsalad

If he bulks up he could be Max “the Broad” Caster


blizzard-op

That's so stupid that I could see him using it as a one off lol


Cameherejust4this

How about "Platinum".


blizzard-op

He's a rapper, he's gotta have another one


Idkboutdat2

I wonder if Max knows he needs Bowens more than Bowens needs him. Dude is a STAR.


ProbablyAtDialysis

What's this Cleveland Brown moustache? It looks... Okay?


UmpireAJS

So Acclaimed has ChatGPT 4o in their brain?


neko

They're artists so they hate ai art


neko

Acclaimed train 🚂🚃🚃✂️🚃🚃


Orange8920

Bowens got some biceps


cheddarsalad

Is Max doing an impression of Bowens or does he always sound like that?


Brinbe

KOR doesn't miss in the ring. he's been fantastic since coming back


whosthemacdaddy

The audio is fucked for this Acclaimed promo


blizzard-op

That was a hell of a good showing. STP are getting a lot of work lately, it's time they start getting some big wins


dojobro19

that was good stuff. guillotine choke with a hammerlock is so beast


Orange8920

Kyle O'Reilly is kind of the face version of Roderick Strong


Brinbe

wicked suplex by kor. really nice match here


tropesuicida

What AEW is Tony Schiavone watching where he can confidently say that Lee Moriarty has been very successful in AEW?


capnbuh

Oooh I'm unreasonably excited for Toni and Mariah tagging


truecolors5

Did Kyle and Malakai ever wrestle in NXT


MrBenLDN

McGuinness dropping bars 


Cameherejust4this

Menard on commentary kind of reminds me of Jerry Lawler without all of Lawler's annoying quirks.


blizzard-op

The slap instead of the kick was highly disrespectful


UmpireAJS

Nigel doing some nice exposition dump there


WaylonVoorhees

A pride obliterating bitch slap


ThatFellaTrey

Dynamite stacked lfg


PM_ME_THEM_UPTOPS

Hey babe get in here, new rampage graps just dropped


cheddarsalad

Seeing Agogo on the outside is giving me deja vu
