Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 676

Just a heads up, AEW is starting straight with the match. No intro video or anything. Cold open. According to Justin Roberts. Intros are happening right now

 

Interesting, did they say why?

 

I guess to one up NXT?

 

I like Finn's updated tron

 

maybe don't quote jordan peterson

 

that match was just okay. hoping the women's match delivers

 

switching to AEW now haha

 

Every fucking week with this rising from beneath the stage bullshit for Cody

 

Cody has become HHH

 

Maybe that’s just his entrance?

 

Never noticed the “wrestling has more than one royal family line” in his entrance.

 

AEW finally fucking announces an Atlanta date and I’m going to be out of town. Gdi.

 

the Balor special

 

I dunno why I expected anything else - hopefully he and Gargano can create something memorable

 

to be clear Balor has really impressed me with character work lately but he's had maybe two great matches in his whole time with the company imo, i fail to see why he is regarded in the ring any higher than a Ziggler

 

Good thing about AEW live: they actually show the action on the trons.

Bad: they don’t play the audio on the video packages and promos

 

because anyone who has ever wrestled for new japan is the best of all time

i liked the match though. finn's matches are hit or miss, but i do feel like he has that big match style which people love

 

There’s no way jungle boy is 157 lbs

 

it def was a fine match but against Cole "fine" a bit of a blemish imo

 

this Jungle Boy match is non-title right?

 

I’ve stood next to Swagger before but I gotta say it again: he’s deceptively huge man

 

Correct

 

Shouldn’t Jericho be trying to finish him fast since the point of the match is jungle boy can’t even last ten minutes?

 

yeah but Jericho is cocky and it's AEW canon that he can caught up in the moment and lose focus
