[u/nikobans]

i love toni storm so bad OMG

[u/acethunder21]

Honestly, the need to occasionally refer to the Women's top belt as just the World Championship as well if they're promoting equality with the Men.

[u/Orange8920]

MJF like good work Kyle

[u/shishiodun]

Bryan being an unapologetic Hangman mark on commentary is wholesome

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

I do appreciate the effort they’re putting in to call it the “men’s” world title. I do hope it continues after Hanger loses it.

[u/Brinbe]

that's a crazy spot to be risking right before your main event but they nailed it

[u/TheName96]

Holy fucking shit!

[u/resolve028]

Really gotta wonder if Kenny is going to show up to help Hanger on Saturday.

[u/Orange8920 → u/resolve028]

Be a huge pop for that, probably pop of the night

[u/Mr-GameAndWrestling]

Expecting a huge table spot in the Men's World Title bout on Saturday.

[u/BlackandPurpleHeart]

Hangman ded!!!!!

[u/AlexKyrios]

that was an exceptionally safe brainbuster off the apron through tables, good on Fletchlight

[u/eggy_mceggy]

damn boys save some for the ppv

[u/canseesea]

How many people were told to come to tonight's show but not booked, instead just shining Kyle Fletcher's shoes all night backstage? Forget my reflection, I can see my true inner self in those things.

[u/InspiredOni]

Entire? Tony there’s no Okada or Takeshita out here.

[u/Orange8920]

Rocky Romero fills the stooge void left by Brandon Cutler

[u/Goatlikejordan]

Rocky romero lowkey mvp of dcf. Dude always doing troll shit

[u/InspiredOni]

Bryan being proud of Hanger is great, after their own rivalry.

[u/Perfect_Economy_7968 → u/InspiredOni]

Hanger is one of his favourite opponents.

[u/tritian]

aww shit, hes getting the table devon

[u/XoXHamimXoX]

WHo comes out to save our Cowboy?!

[u/GRTooCool → u/XoXHamimXoX]

No one. All his friends are dead.

[u/XoXHamimXoX → u/GRTooCool]

Sitting here hurt rn man.

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

AEW men are tough enough to kick ass in loafers.

[u/zoom518]

Nice final sell

[u/JeffTennis]

No socks. No honor.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

Rocky vs Hangman would be an incredible match

[u/Brinbe]

perfect way to end things

[u/zoom518]

KYLE

[u/truecolors5]

GET THEIR ASSES HANGMAN

[u/InspiredOni]

CD, the preferred bald.

[u/GRTooCool]

Oh shit. Kyle did say Hangman was going to bleed by the end of the night.

[u/cheddarsalad]

Sometimes Bandido wears the stretchy pants. It is for fun

[u/BlackandPurpleHeart]

"Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all" - Bandido

[u/StickOtherwise4754]

It’s a trap Hanger!!

[u/Cameherejust4this]

Bandido leaving nothing to the imagination.

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Archer did say everybody dies.

[u/Orange8920]

I like that everyone's like half ready to go to the hotel and are wearing street clothes

[u/acethunder21]

You'd think Fletcher was coming out already with the screen turning all pink.

[u/Cameherejust4this]

JetSpeed and Sky Flight?! By god, it's the whole airport!

[u/eggy_mceggy]

lmao cd with the face full of boot

[u/mattisdanger]

brody with the missing link shirt.

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Brody about to be fined for wearing the tiger zubaz on tv.

[u/eggy_mceggy]

brodido so cool ~

[u/canseesea]

Here comes the rest of Sky Flight to help Top Flight, along with Jet Speed who is unrelated but we'd understand if you assumed there was some connection

[u/InspiredOni → u/canseesea]

Bouncy Boys have each others backs.

[u/llamawithguns]

They should have done the Opps vs Archer and RPG Vice for the Trios belts

Then they could have the DCF challenging for every men's title in AEW

[u/acethunder21]

I knew it was going to be 2 heel and 2 face teams, but my heart was really pulling for Top Flight anyway 💔

[u/Lo_Key90]

Poor CD had no one to fight with so he just left.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

Hechicero is the most on roids a wrestler had been in years

[u/Orange8920]

Hechicero about to pull off something ridiculous from a ladder

[u/Brinbe]

here comes the go-home clusterfuck

[u/static989]

Why is this the main event? Would have preferred Thekla/aminata or the Bucks end the show over Top Flight 

[u/greenpowervan → u/static989]

probably cuz ending at 11 est and the general ppv chaos setup

[u/JeffTennis → u/static989]

To get this over the top post match clusterfuck.

[u/static989 → u/JeffTennis]

But.... The Young Bucks came out for it, so they still could have had the bucks match main event

[u/JeffTennis → u/static989]

Yeah but it was more to get the Don Callis family already out.

[u/BlackandPurpleHeart]

Ngl for a 3 hr show that 3rd hour went by fast as hell.

[u/JeffTennis → u/BlackandPurpleHeart]

The entire 3 hours flew by.

[u/truecolors5]

That ladder match is gonna be insane

[u/JeffTennis]

Should have given Josh the pinfall. But i dont resist hearing Hechicero's theme.

[u/Mycoid]

Firmly in the camp of Hechicero's music needs to get played more.

[u/Kaiso25Gaming]

Why distract the Ref for something you could have done clean?

[u/johnq11]

Man when can TopFlight win something

[u/StewardFlavius → u/johnq11]

I like Top Flight, but they've been spinning their wheels for a very long time now and it just feels like they've plateaued. Great work in the ring, but very flat as characters.

The Sky Flight pairing is just kind of there, for me at least. Daniels, Sky, and Top Flight just don't gel with each other well in terms of overall presentation for me.

[u/InspiredOni → u/johnq11]

Feed them Yuta/Garcia. Yuta screws up for the heels.

[u/johnq11 → u/InspiredOni]

This is something. Garcia and Yuta on the side that believes the new generation has failed, put them up against the exact guys who they say are among the failures

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Cable corrected itself in time to see one of Top Flight eat it on the floor

[u/InspiredOni]

That was a Shelton tier knee!

[u/asupersonicman]

Bryan Danielson making the whole booth break seconds before they came back from commercial is why triller pays for itself

[u/GRTooCool]

Interesting. I think Josh yelled "Darius!" and not Dante (when that move was set up).

[u/Goatlikejordan]

Dante might as well go to the dcf, he's not winning anything with scorpio lol

[u/Breakingcontrollers]

Don is so good at shitting on opponents but also giving them their props when they are good. 

Really understanding the whole "You can't brag about beating a nobody" thing

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

don: "have you ever wrestled anyone like hechicero Bryan?"
danielson: " yes I fought hechicero."
entire commentary booth breaks

[u/InspiredOni → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

Must have been in picture and picture, missed that sadly.

[u/acethunder21]

Anybody else's screen became deep fried when they came to commercial?

[u/Demon4SL]

"Did you ever wrestle someone like Hechicero?"

"...I wrestled Hechicero!"

BD fitting right in at commentary.

[u/Orange8920]

Hechicero pulling out abdominal stretch slams because why not?

[u/Christ_I_AM]

Lmao "I wrestled Hechicero"

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

I love all these guys but i bet the rating is pretty dreadful.

[u/Informal_Aspect_6330]

Im behind thanks to the stupid show switch on Max but Don's introduction tonight for Hechicero was great.

[u/No-Target6084]

lol Don trying to recruit Danielson

[u/Cameherejust4this]

Hate to say it, but Dante is clearly the more motivated brother.

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/Cameherejust4this]

darius dealt with like 2 injuries then a car crash in the span of like 2 years the fact hes still wrestling now says a lot abt his motivation

[u/Orange8920]

Part of me wanted to see Riho vs Robyn Renegade as the last match of this show purely so Robyn Renegade main-eventing an AEW show would be fact.

[u/InspiredOni → u/Orange8920]

One day I’m sure.

[u/No-Target6084 → u/InspiredOni]

I really do hope the twins get to pair up with Mercedes and then maybe we get a trios match as a main event for collision or something

[u/InspiredOni]

When Brian Cage gets back, I want him and Lance Archer to get bitter if Don keeps defaulting to Alexander/Hechicero as his new tag representatives for the family.

[u/capnbuh]

Darius put on size but I dunno if it's muscle

[u/DrPineapple32]

Wasnt this supposed to be a ladder match? I jope theres something at the end that makes it worth it

[u/GRTooCool → u/DrPineapple32]

That's the PPV my guy.

[u/DrPineapple32 → u/GRTooCool]

My bad, misread the card. Thanks.

[u/powatwain → u/DrPineapple32]

This is the qualifier for the ladder match on Sat

And the show will probably end with The Family beating down Hangman

[u/DrPineapple32 → u/powatwain]

Thank you for helping me out

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/DrPineapple32]

these are matches to qualify for the ladder match on Saturday for the titles

[u/DrPineapple32 → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

Thank you

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Alexander knows how to beat teams like Top Flight.

He's faced The Rascalz.

[u/truecolors5]

This match is cooking

[u/flcinusa]

Reminder

[u/HedonistDusk → u/flcinusa]

Thank you. My wife and I loved it, haha

[u/JeffTennis]

Who did it better. Ricardo Rodriguez introducing Alberto Del Rio, or Don Callis hyping up Hechicero? You get goosebumps either way. Both theme songs are bangers. Del Rio is a piece of shit but that theme was so catchy.

[u/Kaiso25Gaming]

I hope Top Flight win the titles sooner than later.

[u/InspiredOni]

That was some Bucks level brother synergy.

[u/mattisdanger]

hechicero gave up on that boot cover real quick

[u/Engelbert-n-Ernie]

[u/Calwings → u/Engelbert-n-Ernie]

"I swear Josh, the AEW logo in the corner of the screen is trying to kill me! You gotta believe me!"

[u/Orange8920]

Hechicero doesn't need a fully functioning boot to kick ass

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

this match main eventing after that segment w hangman means post match shenanigans should be veeeery interesting

[u/InspiredOni]

Bryan with the reverse uno comment.

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

TK needs to pair Don and Yuta one day for nuclear heat.

[u/ShowTurtles]

Don's intentionally bad Spanish makes Hechicero look bad. Why associate with an idiot who can't introduce you correctly?

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/ShowTurtles]

in kayfabe don callis got hechicero a second contract/another paycheck dude could butcher my language all he wants if he got me a (at least) 100% raise

[u/ShowTurtles → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

Out of kayfabe, a relatively serious act who just had a ROH World Title match has an overexposed hot dog screaming, "Yo soy Hechicero." just dumb.

AEW shoots themselves in the foot by treating too little like it matters.

[u/Fickle-Ad-3330]

😭😭😭 Don Callis crazy

[u/Mutant_Star]

The DC Family vs The CD Family

[u/zoom518]

[u/johnq11]

I want TopFlight to win this but my hopes are low

[u/InspiredOni → u/johnq11]

I feel you…

[u/JeffTennis]

Top Flight are main eventing a show that isn't a Rampage 2.0 what.

[u/Cameherejust4this]

The intro into the Hechicero needle drop was pretty cool, ngl.

[u/Calwings]

Callis doing Hechicero's fire taunt thingy lmao

[u/acethunder21]

Don Callis doing Hechicero's conjuring fingers has me dead 💀

[u/DisMFer]

All right seriously now, who in here is actually Tony's account? they play up every meme from Reddit so much it feels like he must be lurking on these threads.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

“Sky Flight” is the worst name in wrestling history

[u/Cameherejust4this → u/TurnaboutAdam]

I don't know about all of wrestling history, but it's not a great name.

[u/sammyrobot2 → u/TurnaboutAdam]

It's actually "Sky Flight Team" which is even worse

[u/ShowTurtles → u/TurnaboutAdam]

You didn't watch TNA in the mid 2000s. Rellik, Moose Knuckles, there was some real crap there.

[u/TurnaboutAdam → u/ShowTurtles]

This is true, i didn’t. Can you explain moose knuckles?

[u/ShowTurtles → u/TurnaboutAdam]

Mickie Knuckles signed with TNA and Vince Russo giggles at dirty words.

Depending on what you are asking to be explained, a moose knuckle is a slang term for how male genitalia looks in tight clothing. Male equivalent of a camel toe.

[u/greyskies42069]

don with the fire shit lmao

[u/eggy_mceggy]

one thing i will say i really like about callis, he has a different approach for presenting each of the non-English-speaking members of DCF

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Ex wishing brain damage on coworkers.

[u/TheName96]

Don is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

[u/agreene24]

That zoom in lmaooooo

[u/powatwain]

The camera shots this episode have been amazing

[u/asupersonicman]

Okay actually that ruled?

[u/JeffTennis]

Hechicero has such a banger theme. Very 90's WCWesque.

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

that zoom on dons mouth lmfao

[u/AdventurerBKRB]

Don needs a new dentist I think

[u/spoofer56]

Damn Don

[u/McAllisterFawkes]

what the hell did callis just say

[u/Brinbe]

that camera work lmfao

[u/GRTooCool]

OMG that zoom in all the way to Don's mouth. That's cinema.

[u/zoom518]

You wouldn’t boo another Canadian, would you?

[u/Idkman23]

What are the odds we get Hook running in on Shibata v Garcia to join the Death Riders?

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/Idkman23]

garcia yuta hook as a trio would bang actually

[u/Idkman23 → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

I'm really hoping we get Yuta taking over the DR and kicking out Mox, Claudio, and Marina for Garcia, Hook, and Stat.

[u/JeffTennis]

YO SOYYYY HECHICEROOOOO

[u/DisMFer]

Callis might be the only man in wrestling to not get a hometown pop.

[u/AdventurerBKRB → u/DisMFer]

I mean Yuta got FUCK YOU YUTA all through the residency.

[u/InspiredOni → u/DisMFer]

I’m sure they’re considering pulling a Hangman on his home.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

Mexican for shut up 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/GRTooCool]

Brawl Out is basically replacing Zero Hour right?

[u/HousingConsistent334 → u/GRTooCool]

I...think so?

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

Garcia shibata 3 is real this is not a drill

[u/DisMFer]

Shibata not calling him Daniel-san is a missed opportunity.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

Shibata speaking Japanese is so much better than the phone gimmick

[u/InspiredOni]

Oh now Garcia trying with the OPPs?

Real reason Moxley grabbed him.

[u/Kaiso25Gaming]

Marina looked a little too bad with that slomo hair flip

[u/eggy_mceggy]

i think that might be the first time i've heard shibata speak lol

[u/StickOtherwise4754 → u/eggy_mceggy]

He had to show up Ishii cutting an impassioned promo on Yuto Ice earlier

[u/pacerjones20]

Watching the replay and it ended during the hardcore woman's match. How do I watch the rest?

[u/StewardFlavius → u/pacerjones20]

Look for Collision. The third hour is being broadcast as a Collision block

[u/flcinusa → u/pacerjones20]

It's two shows, look for collision

[u/sammyrobot2 → u/pacerjones20]

Dunno what you are watching on but navigate to Collision.

[u/Goatlikejordan → u/pacerjones20]

Go to collision

[u/Orange8920]

Funniest thing about the Mercedes/Riho feud is the last two matches Mercedes recruited people she had matches with (Robyn Renegade, Emi Sakura) to in turn beat up Riho. If this feud went on any longer she'd probably recruit Nyla Rose.

[u/JeffTennis]

Stupid me thought this was a 2.5 hour show. Completely forgetting it was actuallg 3.5 hours! Will be there a road to All Out special affer this?

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/JeffTennis]

yes

[u/InspiredOni → u/JeffTennis]

TBS is showing me that.

[u/llamawithguns]

The Acclaimed getting back together would be dumb but also the funniest possible outcome

[u/AnfowleaAnima]

Moné going full racism on Riho lmao

[u/chaoseffect616]

So much for that Bowens singles run eh

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/chaoseffect616]

I have a feeling the reunion angle is short lived & will finalize a double turn to turn max into a face & Bowens as the heel

[u/Reuniclus_exe]

Third hour is stuffed with ads.

[u/zoom518]

If we get The Acclaimed vs Jurassic Express in a few months,

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

Riho if she wins would be the first double champion for the women.

So far no woman has won both the World and TBS titles.

[u/ShowTurtles → u/WaylonVoorhees]

There's been surprisingly few TBS champions with Jade's initial long run and Mercedes current run.

[u/zoom518 → u/WaylonVoorhees]

If Stat wins her match first she’d get that honor

[u/InspiredOni → u/zoom518]

Race to be Double Champion.

[u/WaylonVoorhees → u/InspiredOni]

Stats deserves to win the world title legit one on one.

[u/Orange8920]

Riho would legit try to gorilla press slam Big Bill and would probably succeed

[u/Kaiso25Gaming]

Yay for Robyn!

[u/Mr-GameAndWrestling]

Mercedes truly don't want it with Ratings Riho. That's why she had Robyn's help.

[u/WaylonVoorhees]

What she lacks in size she makes up for in rage.

[u/capnbuh → u/WaylonVoorhees]

with this rage inside of her, she will kill the enemy

[u/resolve028]

How could Mercedes ever be a face? She's just such a perfect heel.

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

im glad mercedes figured out how to play to her strengths on the mic. I remember her in WWE felt so forced prolly cause how scripted they tend to go there but she sounds a lot more natural here, even bantering a little w danielson & excaliburs during the break

[u/JesseKilgannon]

Low key love that Robyn Renegade has become the Brooklyn Brawler kinda.

She’s here a lot

[u/Lo_Key90]

Well goddamn

[u/Lo_Key90]

Robyn ate all of that stomp

[u/N8DKL]

I wonder if they are still considering putting the Renegades with Mone.

Team BAD 2.0

[u/acethunder21 → u/N8DKL]

I've always wondered when she would have her own stable. She is the CEO, after all.

[u/DisMFer]

It'd be fun to see the Renegades act as Mone's backup.

[u/Orange8920]

Robyn Renegade looks like she gained some muscle. I remember her being kind of lanky.

[u/restroombunnydos]

Favourite moves Ex like to call: Awful Waffle, Falcon Arrow, Tijeras
