CI Wrestling Thread #56

I watched Revolution.

It was mostly good. I really liked the whole card minus the Mone match and main event. I thought Osprey/Fletcher stole the show.

That main event was the drizzling shits. Cope looks and moves like his age. Moxley continues to suck and be boring. The crowd would’ve popped huge for a Cope/Christian win. Instead, it was like a fart in church when Mox won.

I love how everything is great except mone hogan and Mox continue to try to upstage everyone.

This review seems fairly accurate…

I was sick today and wasn't feeling up to it. Of the four matches I was hyped for, I decided the one I would go out of my way for was Mox vs Cope for the world title. I've been hyped for them to go at it since Cope returned, as he is my second favorite wrestler and Mox is Mox.

F*** me for making that decision.

For starters, the crowd. I dunno I've been to livlier funerals. A spear off the apron and a stomp on the concrete earned golf claps, there was maybe one or two chants during the match, and the pops were tiny. I get it was a smaller crowd for a ppv, but it was also LA, which isn't exactly a quiet town.

The match itself moved at a snails pace that can be best described as "slow”.I understand what they were trying to do, but the pacing of this match makes peak "Blandy Borton" (he's so good I hate this was even a thing) look like Will Ospreay. The first five or so minutes was a strike fest, which can work when the crowd is into it. Watching two guys punch each other in the face in a room so quiet you can hear the impacts just ain't it. Cope quite frankly looked like sh** compared to just a year ago when he was TNT champ, and Mox was wrestling like a parody of himself. Deliberately slow, deliberately no selling everything, deliberately methodical.

And then there's the finish. Holy s***. I dunno who Christian pissed off, but they f***ing buried him tonight. And I know that phrase gets overused, but I don't know what else to call it. He cashes in the contract he's held for six months, and then gets dominated by Mox in about four minutes. Like, are you shi**ng me? All that build, all that hype, the fact that Mox didn't have his group, didn't even need to be pinned, and you f**king jobbed Christian out?

Where does this even lead? Cope looks like a broken old man, Mox looks the exact same as he normally does, and Christian looks like a joke. Of course the one guy to come out on top at the end was Will Washington's nepopushed cousin. He probably beats Mox too doesn't he? Ya know, f*** it I don't care if he does, anything to end this abysmal reign.

Overwhelming opinion is that the main event was horrible in many, many ways, but there were some great matches on the undercard and the whole PPV would have been considered an all-time great IF they could have nailed the main event. Also can't blame the crowd for being dead when they just watched multiple gems, but the 14th and final match of the long night was a turd. Finally, the inference that Swerve is where he is now because of nepotism seems insulting given the hard work and the fan support that hard work has gotten him.

Not disagreeing but my argument was even the biggest AEW fans (this guy even sounds like a mox fan too) are clamoring for Mox to drop the belt but TK continues to swing and miss on this despite the undercard being home runs.

When AEW first started it’s main event scene was fire and the undercard sometimes left a little to be desired. Now, the undercard is fantastic and the main event picture is meh.

Death Riders is one giant misfire and the owner can’t/won’t see it.

After five years, TK still doesn't understand match position and then went full Vince at the end to please his ex-WWE pals, pal.
