Mercedes gets almost no reaction of any kind. It has to be awkward for her to come out to crickets chirping.

She’s in movies and shit though. She’s a big big star. That no one cares about because she’s an entitled self loving egomaniac.
Also really liked Swerve and Danielson in the last segment. You just know they are going to put on an amazing match.
Oh, and best pull out your finest VCR and get it hooked up for Rampage tomorrow night as the youngest and most vascular tag team in the world is appearing yet again. Yep, The Outrunners are gracing us again Friday night!

I’ll be honest I started it in the background while doing other stuff and after Sasha and Jericho seemingly unwatchable segments I switched and never clicked back over - wonder how many others did. It just felt like bad momentum the first 30 minutes.
If MJF or swerve started the show I probably would have tuned in longer but I don’t need to see Jericho beat up a bunch of jobbers with his lackey’s help.

I do agree the Outrunners have single handedly created a little niche for themselves - making lemonade out of lemons of sorts
I also expect MJF/will and swerve/bryan to live up to the hype and deliver outstanding matches
There is no current tag team that delivers a better elbow drop or chop to their teammate than those guys do.
I know you all will be shocked by this but I thought Dynamite was a really good show. Didn't hate DMD and CEO as much as most. Jericho is still "MEH" hopefully this will be over after Sunday.
From 9:30 on it was one of the better shows they've had in a while.
They've now sold over 50,000 tickets for All In.

- He's not really a hat guy. There's also one of him wearing a Warner Bros. Discovery hat. Dude loves WBD more than I love Quentin Tarantino movies.
- Mercedes is a Wish version of Sasha Banks. Trust me, she'll be less annoying and more in her lane so to speak when she goes back to WWE. Right now, her dumb ideas are getting green lit. Same thing happened with Cody. Remember him solving racism by having a wrestling match? Triple H ain't putting up with goofy shit like that. And now Cody is a worldwide star.
- AEW might wanna think about staying in Europe for awhile. Outside of the US, they're warm to hot. Within our borders, they're a plate of fish sticks that's been in the microwave for less than 20 seconds.
The Thunder Rosa, and the lightning strikes. Another love grows cold on a sleepless night.
I love the pause after for applause, like they just did the opening Bret and Owen sequence at Mania X or something
According to signs posted around Wembley the 2025 Forbidden Door show will be in London.
I think AEW is doing shows in Australia, England and Japan next year, which is cool.
To Nightwish's point I believe the next three weeks of TV have sold less than 2,000 tickets. Wrestletix has the Rupp show at 1,700 right now.
I wish UK T was still in this thread because I am curious about what happened with Brian Last and Dave Scherer of Pwinsider. He really went after him outta nowhere the last couple of days. They both hate pretty much everything about AEW so in theory they should get along great.

Former TNA president Scott D'Amore reveals a text he received from Triple H before Jordynne Grace appeared in the #WWE Royal Rumble this year:
"One of the last things I get (before leaving for the Jericho Cruise) is a text from Triple H, which was just like, 'Hey, I know you might be out of touch this weekend, just wanted you to know we finalized this, this and this, everything's good, just how we discussed, have a safe trip, have fun'. And that is just so freakin' cool.
"That's just how wrestling a lot of times hasn't been. A lot of times it'd have been like, 'Oh, he's gone, he's at the sea, we can do whatever we wanna do now and really screw some people over'. But it just wasn't.
"And not that I expected that they would ever do any of that stuff, that they would do anything underhanded, but even just to take the time when you're that busy to say, 'Hey, I know he's gonna be possibly out of touch for a few days, I want him to leave knowing we're all good, all these things that we have said are fine, it's done, you're gonna be really happy with it'. And I was."

Happy All in Day! Let’s hope it’s a great show and no backstage stupidity today.
Last I saw it was up to close to 52,000 tickets sold.

I hope Mariah won because she said she’s going to post a picture with the belt
Not sure if it was a one off or not, but Nigel Mcguiness competed in a match today.
DMD was the worst wrestler on the whole show and that’s including the big Indian dude, IMHO. She might need to leave and see if WWE can light a fire under her ass because it’s not working for her currently.
But overall, it was a great show.
I’m shocked anything involving those three didn’t live up to expectations - their egos might be bigger than hulk hogan’s.
Britt seems a little stiff and slow - is that even fixable?

I don’t know if there’s anything there with Baker or not.
I understand everyone here hates Mercedes, but she worked her ass off trying to carry Britt. Like on the destroyer spot that she basically had to do by herself because Britt basically stopped all the momentum. And she took an amazing bump on the stomp by Baker. But one person can only do so much by themselves.
That match would have been at home on rampage, lol.
I thought Baker was always regarded as a decent worker? Has she gotten worse? No talent? Has something happened there?
Back injury. I don’t know if it permanently limits her or if it’s a mental thing. She hasn’t looked the same since returning.
To be honest I don’t think everyone hates Sasha it’s just the combination of walking out on wwe/giving herself creative control/acting like she’s an A list celebrity leaves a bad taste in people’s mouth and makes her unlikeable to most fans. Also two or three of those I listed above are big reasons why old school fans aren’t in her corner.
At least Naomi has made amends for walking out and was humble enough to fix her part of the situation.
