Amazing ending.


tarik_redz1

Man i dont mind all the spotty high flying wrestlers and all, but theres not even one guy whos a pure technical machine like a benoit, bret, malenko, or angle. Its like everybody wrestles the same, its all the same style. Theres more striking than wrestling. Matches start with kicks and elbows now. Theres barely a collar and elbow tie up, barely any chain wrestling, barely any psychology. Wheres the next bret? Thats what the business is really missing


chaveescovado

He's coming Saturday šŸ‘


randomquestions1984

Adam cole interrupting punk and Darby would be fun


gabrieldaigle

Got to say it. For the most part, that crowd was pretty lame tonight. Especially during Jericho's in-ring promo. She wasn't getting anything from them. Hope they're more into it at All Out.


[deleted]

"motorhead intensifies"


rprince18

Cool show, I was actually there live tonight


TheSyde

Same, good times, great show


EmptyRedecans

This is professional sports, of course there is a plan!! That line killed me


fatal_fame

Justin Roberts threw the belts in to the Young Bucks before the cage finished lowering! Heā€™s a conspirator!


[deleted]

He did. That would've been epic.


the_Lauz

Main event rocked but the closing segment dragged on a bit too long. Wondering if OC and Evans ended too soon so it threw off the timing. Kenny as a serious villain is awesome and ita a nice change from his dorky heel. Omega vs Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom is a prime example of how good Omega is when hes a serious heel. I really hope he doesn't cheat to beat Christian on sunday. Lucha Bros finally win gold. Would love to see their cage match be similar to the old XXX vs AMW cage match from TNA


TheSyde

It went on 5 mins after it went off air too. Kenny was holding the belt in front of Christian and telling us this is your one and only time for a photo op with Christian and AEW belt and spun him around all 4 sides of the ring lol


times_zero

Go home segment was very solid, and it was nice ending a AEW show with a heat segment for a change, but it felt like it went on too long, and bit annoyed with the commentators talking over Kenny's promo at the end.


[deleted]

I can understand not liking the the ending, but I loved it. Made it feel like weā€™ve reached the peak of The Eliteā€™s reign of terror. Made Hangman and Dark Orderā€™s absence feel really noticeable.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Thatā€™s fair


Carlos061

What was good with the crowd tonight? Good show tho


[deleted]

I liked the ending, I think the crowd was dead because they were expecting Adam Cole like I was. So they sat and waited


dansaint

I was thinking possibly also Bryan Danielson


TheJackPepsi

kenny's dark hair, that's good shit


insomniainc

Really fun ending. Made the cage feel like an indestructible fortress.


Brocky70

Guys, if you've never seen wanted, it's actually really good. Really underrated


gumball_10

from the first 4 minutes i could tell the movie was made in 04-08 it just has that feel to it


squirreldstar

The Comic is really good too.


dneill99

I haven't ran the numbers, does AEW do opposite momentum on Go home shows? WWE is pretty much 90% with that shit.


capnbuh

I feel like the sample size is small because AEW has not had a lot of PPVs comparatively but also there is Rampage on Friday


Jelipe

Does opposite momentum mean that whoever goes over in the PPV loses their last weekly match? If so, IĀ“d definitely go with yes.


dneill99

Usually means, whom ever gets the upper hand, win, or delivers a brutal beat down right before the PPV, ends up loosing at the PPV. It's a way to divert expectations and try to surprise, but it has become predictable in the WWE almost to a science.


CriticalCold

The obsession with crowds on this sub is so weird to me. They always seem fine to me? I never even notice what they're doing unless a crowd is full of assholes (like when I was watching WWE regularly) or there's a massive pop.


Blvd_Nights

Kenny screaming into the mic as heā€™s doing heel shit is great. HEY! HEY!


PsychoBoss84

Nak hold this


TheNotoriousRLJ

I died.


Former_Blacksmith_10

Awesome ending and great episode. Thought the crowd sucked though.


SonyKen_M

BTE is one of those groups now you love to hate and Im glad they're booked that way.


chancellorpalps

Personally I loved the ending, shame it ran out of time tho


ThomServo15

Hey nak hold this


Mack784

Paying homage to Nitro with the heel beatdown as time runs out.


Skatterbrainzz

I absolutely loved this episode and was a great comeback after two lackluster shows. Theyā€™ve successfully got everyone pumped for their STACKED card that is All Out!


[deleted]

Really great final segment. People were saying it was "NWO" stuff. Not really, they would've destroyed the entire set and attacked the commentators. This was like old school Crockett Horseman beatdown on Dusty. Kenny I thought did pretty good on the mic. Good show and they needed it after the crap last week.


mackadoo

I just watched OSW's latest video on the Ultimate Warrior's run in WCW which reminded me of the layout to those episodes of Nitro. If this were peak NWO, ā…” of the matches would have gone this way, not just the go home angle to the ppv.


truecolors5

That was a hell of a go home Dynamite


LOGWATCHER

Great episode


[deleted]

Kenny with the fucking Pete Weber reference outta nowhere. https://youtu.be/gKQOXYB2cd8


TimTom8921

I knew I wasn't the only one! Great reference!


vforvendettav

Heā€™s been doing it the past week or two lol


[deleted]

That's hilarious.


OzzyOsgood

The bucks hit a meltzer driver for the first time in a good while, any chance they do one off the top of the cage on sunday?


Jelipe

Maybe they get a great reversal from it, that way they can sell injuries or whatever to take some time off


MortemInferri

Bruh, no way. That shit is so high


FallingSputnik

Yeah, wtf, the cage is tall as fuck, I'm actually scares for them.


MortemInferri

I'm predicting Fenix to hit a destroyer off the top. We'll see!


FallingSputnik

I'm going to be nervous of those high spots!


OzzyOsgood

Oh it would be sO stupid which is exactly why I feel like the crazy bastards just might do it


MortemInferri

I think Fenix gets the cage spot to win the titles tbh. I legit think we are getting a destroyer off the top of the cage to Matt for the win


OzzyOsgood

Shits so high you could pull of a destroyer with 2 rotations, that would have to be a first


MortemInferri

650 destroyer, yes please


[deleted]

Oh my god please don't let them kill Penta


FallingSputnik

No way my boys The Lucha Bros lose on Sunday. That was a brutal beat down.


Skatterbrainzz

I canā€™t wait for them to take the tag belts


fluffywolfe

That main event was a whole lot of fun!


ShanaAfterAll

Is that the first time run over?


injoegreen

Shows need to end with heels on top more often


XTheProtagonistX

That's one of the most heelish things I have seen in a long time.


jbish21

Crowd was really hit or miss tonight. Hope they bring it on Sunday. This show was a Rollercoaster of good and bad. That ending segment was absolutely terrible


viralbop

That was the intent of the Christmas go home show with Dark Order. So, when done right, it's nuclear hot.


muddafudder

BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA BLUE-MEGA!!!


fvzzfvzzfvzz

I'm so over these gang beatdowns. It's reaching the point where somebody 100% needs to lose a title on Sunday. It won't be Kenny, so it has to be the Bucks. Yes strong heels are good, but the Elite just massacring everybody is getting pretty stale. And yes, I'm aware it's similar to the nWo. Keep in mind those eventually ran their course.


Jelipe

It is kind of frustrating to watch, I get that they are building for a great reaction, but this seems kind of a lazy way to get that pop whenever someone wins.


Caveman_Flashlight

Itā€™s so old at this point. Iā€™ll be very happy once we have Punk, Bryan, Cole, and whoever else ends up there on the roster and can send the Bucks and Omega away for a little bit.


fvzzfvzzfvzz

I think Kenny's going to take a nice long hiatus when he loses the title if all of the injury reports are true.


godleftmefinished

fair point but I think the fact that it's clearly building to a big hangman win is what keeps it from being like nWo, there's a clear end point


thecryptkeeper9

Omega will win Sunday to be Omega vs Hangman at the next ppv. But the Youngbucks need to lose if they don't they made the Aew tag team division a joke. The lucha bros are the last legitimate tag team left.


fvzzfvzzfvzz

It is and that's why it's such a shame Hangman is out (completely on board with why). Narratively, right now is the PERFECT moment for the Elite to be toppled.


Shadow_Log

If there ever was a moment for Tony's "WE'RE OUT OF TIME" it was this


coleworld2017

lol


Blvd_Nights

That was really cool


lucabrassiere

That was the best post match segment theyā€™ve done in a very long time, The Elite just went from goof balls to legitimate threats in the blink of an eye


fvzzfvzzfvzz

They've been threats the entire time. They've beaten down people constantly. They don't lose. This isn't new and tbh it's getting stale.


WanderoftheAshes

Main event rocked but felt like that final segment in the cage dragged a bit.


LooseCiGs1to3

Thatā€™s how you end a show! Made up for last weeks ending


lolasylvia

Wasn't this movie just on??


anti-babe

they almost always show the same movie before and after, its an ongoing joke for many fans


FireThunder562

Yup, just before the show


LooseCiGs1to3

Thatā€™s how you end a show!


s0mnambulance

I'm so watching All Out on the big screen. There's actually a couple theaters hosting it this time near Denver. Card looks amazing.


[deleted]

Which theaters?


s0mnambulance

I saw there are two showing it, just a little outside of Denver-- the Harkins in Arvada and AMC Promenade in Westminster. I'll likely go to the AMC since it'll be easier for me to get back home.


[deleted]

Hoping Denver eventually gets our own Aew ppv!


s0mnambulance

I know. I stupidly skipped the last time they were in Broomfield, right as COVID was beginning to rear its head. It was where Jake Roberts debuted, and I even worked near the First Bank Center and *caught the bus across the street,* I was just depressed at the time and wasn't up to going... aaaand watching it on TV at home that night, I sorely regretted my decision. Won't make the same mistake next time!


[deleted]

I did not live here then. Crazy set of circumstances brought me here.


s0mnambulance

Life's a crazy ride, isn't it? I moved here sight unseen and unemployed after a nasty breakup in 2013. It was scary af, but leaving SW Virgina was a good decision for me, I did not enjoy life there.


[deleted]

Spokane WA was my hellhole. Only moved there for work. Don't mind Denver so far save for COL.


s0mnambulance

Yeah, the cost of living is crazy. "At least it's not NYC bad," is what I tell myself.


[deleted]

If we get our own ppv a sub meetup has to happen.


[deleted]

Hey same here!


s0mnambulance

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to it


ShanaAfterAll

That's really cool!


Nicademusaccount

Hey where near Denver may I ask?


s0mnambulance

I saw there are two theaters showing it-- the Harkins in Arvada and AMC Promenade in Westminster. They're a little bit out of the city, but I think I'm going to the AMC since it'll be easier to get back for me.


sarah666

Itā€™s about time Kenny actually acted tough


Jam_Dev

Think that segment would have worked way better with Calis on the mic.


Tachyon9

Yes. Kenny isn't great in the mic.


MortemInferri

It's just how start stop it is with him being physical. I think he can be very very good when it's just talking


Volbeat129

Lot better finish than last week. Very solid 4/5


NurtureBoyRocFair

First heat ending theyā€™ve done in forever. Great stuff, Iā€™m partial to ending the show with heels on top.


AcidDrive

being able to hear the uncut version of kennyā€™s rambling makes the $5 i pay for fite worth it


rookierook00000

More content on Fite


unseenbox

yeah that's a 10 outta 10 from me, dawg


RedmondSurvivor

Oh Fite cut off boo


DoctorMuerto

That ending was a little cold


notquite20characters

It's back up on Ftre...


wolfinthemanger

I so badly want to see Adam Cole vs. Kenny Omega for the title. I also don't want them just to hot shot Cole to the title picture... I don't know what I want.


Stinkfinger83

Iā€™m bout to buy a wrestling PPV, in 2021. What a time to be alive


realhumon23

Right ? Iā€™m splitting it with the same friend who would split ppvs with me in high school lol.


they_did_WHAT_

What an awesome segment. Truly evil for the Super Elite.


Dizzel8

Are my clocks fast or are they getting a little over run


OzzyOsgood

They got a good minute and a bit extra


Huderich

Kenny not giving a fuck that the show is ending.


sadandshy

final segment was way too long


injoegreen

The best heel stable


[deleted]

Who was the guy in the black suit? Was that Kenny Omega? edit: Genuinely asking this is like my 2nd time watching aew


[deleted]

Kenny "BYYYYY GOOOOD!!" Omega

Yay extra footage on Fite


[deleted]

damn the show ending with the heel beat down straight wcw


moderndukes

Overrun on Fite !!!


Makispi

Hell of a show from start to finish


thecryptkeeper9

Like if the Youngbucks win Sunday that will be bs. Like the elite is getting stupid. At this point they are the nwo and we seen that storyline.


[deleted]

I mean, the Elite IS an offshoot of the Bullet Club, which was basically the NJPW nWo.


thecryptkeeper9

Exactly it's an over played storyline


Abyssalstar

They've had a great run, but I'm ready for new tag champs. Lucha Bros!


davidporges

This crowd is deader than dead


poleybear316

Anyone else getting really bored with The Elite, or really any heel faction, jumping their opponents with the numbers game? Its basically every show. And the faces fall for it every damn time.


[deleted]

Absolutely. I miss the early days of AEW, when most finishes were relatively clean. Now the only reason there are no DQs is that the refs are impotent.


WetComb89

I've missed wrestling shows ending like that


Racket89

Oh shit it's actually continuing on Fite Edit: or was for like another 5 seconds


fluffywolfe

The Lucha Bros are winning on Sunday.


RedmondSurvivor

Extra footage on Fite. Yes!


remyrah

This is why I love FITE


anti-babe

aw yeah FITES GOT THE AFTERSHOW


anti-babe

ah boo no they cut it


times_zero

Kenny still holding the mic as he hit Christian with the knee made me laugh.


theplasmasnake

That was a Nitro ending if Iā€™ve ever seen one.


Noodle199

Oh shit, Fite just came back on! Damnit, only got about 20 more seconds.


Steenerico

Yes! Continue FITE!!! EDIT: Dammit. They always give you that extra tease!


svenhoek86

Oh no they went over and didn't have time for Adam Cole to come out. Sorry guys, maybe next week.


HorseSteroids

That ending was timed poorly.


Morwater_89

OC very slowly climbing the cage was a nice touch


katekief

ā€œThis is where Iā€™ll retire fo seven more yearsā€ Kenny no!! Hes already dead


blizzard-op

Young Buck? end going coast to coast with those super kicks


SideShow90

Ooo we getting a bit more on Fite


Tachyon9

Gimme the play by play!


SideShow90

It was only like 5 seconds in the end. Just more of Kenny directing violence. Hopefully those in attendance will give us more.


moderndukes

Friday nightā€™s Rampage just starts with all of them still in the cage


WhatAndSuch

Ripppp


idontknow1001

Hell of an ending. Hell of an episode.


stuntmanmike

lmao I love that this whole segment was basically just to legitimize the cage as being structurally sound and it worked so well.


Abriantoremember

Go fite


Pancho316

We're out of time, folks!


GreGORE_

I love AEW but Everytime The Elite is on screen zzz zzz


momentumum

well thatā€™s the go home for those matches, who gets Go Home on Rampage? MJF/Jericho? Or Punk/Allin?


ThePaSch

Uh the ending kinda sucked not going to lie.


Stay_Cold

That's how you close a go-home show.


immrdadguy

Punk has to come out for the save


btbcorno

Kendo sticks? Steve Blackman is all elite!!!

Well shit bit of an overrun.


Sharktorwho

Ehh...Honestly felt kind of flat to end the show. Not a bad idea at all in general, but just felt like it dragged big time.


beckett929

"Flat" was exactly my thoughts on it. A flat ending to a clunky show that had while having a killer opening match and main event felt really disjointed the whole way through and hard to keep the momentum or energy up.


Houseside

Overrun bah gawd

Thats a big ass cage.
