That Bluey Combat Club sign

 

Anyone get a good photo of it yet

 

I like that Penta has mid-fight final forms like he's an anime character

 

I love how much Schiavone loves the Sue thing.

 

This Stadium Stampede is like you had a CZW match with a bunch of ex-Chikara guys.

 

Shida's music fucking rocks

 

Remember when they used to make wrestling versions of South Park characters? I need that but Bluey

 

I feel for all the young British trainees this shitty family abused having to watch them being platformed like this.

 

….

 

Ok I guess he isn't in this match. Sorry didn't look at the card too hard. If you didn't quote this I would have just deleted it without anyone noticing. Thanks Drew.

 

I love when Taz gets in "scientific suplex analyst" mode on commentary

 

Seriously AEW deserves so much credit for how well they developed Julia Hart. The best female manager working right now, and honestly probably the best manager at the getting involved in the match aspect of managing.

 

omg MJF with the this HHH at Mania ass entrance. Love it.

 

"Tyrus loses the NWA title and retires"
".....and the new champion is EC3!"

 

I am sure there some people pissed that this main event is a fuckery fest, but with these two I love it.

 

Oh my god..Bryce slow counting costing Cole the title because he is selling a Panama Sunrise he just took from him is all time great ref work.

Bryce is an unsung MVP in this company.

 

Wasn't a technically great match, but great storytelling and super fun.

 

Went to the show at Wembley last night and had an absolutely blast. Crowd was hot throughout the whole thing, super excited it’s returning next August but will be a tougher sell so hopefully they can sort out the lead in to the event and sell it well in the months preceding.

Loved Stadium Stampede, Mox’s entrance through a crowd that big was amazing, pretty much the only dud for me all night was the Saraya title change.

 

was that the best AEW ppv?

- Zero Hour ruled
- six man tag felt like a Kenny Omega celebration fest
- FTR/Bucks fully delivered
- Stadium Stampede fucking RULED. seeing Mox's scalp wiggle as the skewers shifted. that one powerbomb where it looked like Trent got powerbombed through a ladder then jesus hit rewind and wound up back laying on the ladder
- women's title ruled, best Saraya performance since her return and she played the face really well towards the end here. Shida deserves better than transitional champ but hey
- Sting is a miracle. i almost only want a couple more matches from him because i don't want anything to happen - i want him to go out on this fucking miracle run of adding so much to matches that would have already been great without him
- Jericho/Ospreay was my surprise of the night, Jericho fucking KEPT UP. no carry job. no asterisks. just a great Ospreay match with Jericho. this was not the waste expected and dare i say a great use of both. Jericho's backing track during his entrance was very sad tho lol
- trios titles were well placed. i needed a break and don't remember a ton, but i loved the finish. "one more time with feeling" needs to be a more common mentality in wrestling psychology. if it almost worked, do it again!
- main event was a masterpiece. this story, man. MJF is the GOAT. the G O A T.

fuck Punk for the drama preceding the only match on the card that coulda happened in Regina.

overall, an accomplishment to feel so "old AEW" in fucking WEMBLEY
