I thought it was pretty good with my usual complaint of ended after midnight on a Sunday because AEW fans apparently don’t have jobs that start before noon or they all live in California. I don’t mind a four hour show but let’s be done by 11 p.m. on a work night. Is that too much to ask?
I thought Mox/Osprey was the match of the night with MJF/Omega being a very close second. I could watch Osprey work for hours on end and Moxley’s presence didn’t make it worse, which sometimes is a thing. I probably would’ve switched that title. That said, Super Mox in AEW is just as much of a thing as Super Cena circa 2014 WWE.
I was very entertained by Cage/Cope vs. FTR. Nostalgia me wanted the old guys to win but I am fine with the finish.
Negatives: Giving “The Dogs” the trios titles on Saturday only for them to lose them Sunday to a team with Orange Cassidy on it kind of makes your “*** kicking bad guys” seem like pansies for losing to 3 small, regular looking dudes, but maybe that’s just me.
I admittedly didn’t give a **** about the first two matches. Bucks matches are just floor exercises with a ring and I don’t care to ever see Jericho wrestle again no matter how many flips Ricochet does. I also kind of zoned out on the women’s match and some of the casino gauntlet match for the TNT title.
I thought the wrestling was stellar with a lot of the finishes/outcomes being predictable. Overall a good show for a throwaway PPV.

I read that Gabe Kidd got legit injured and that might have caused an audible.
Yep he dislocated his shoulder. He'll be out indefinitely. I guess how long he is out depends on if imaging shows any tears or anything like that.
Oh update on my coworker that won the wrestlemania ticket package. I was wrong initially. Flights are included along with lower level tickets both nights and a room at the Luxor (IIRC). That's a pretty damn sweet contest, I thought.
I thought it was your average AEW PPV, which is to say it was pretty good. Matches overall didn't have enough heat and other than maybe the tag team opener I thought none of the matches really hit that next level to be in any sort of match of the year discussion.
Omega vs. MJF was good but also disappointing because I thought they could have put together a much better match than they did.
Was surprised (in a good way) that Jericho lost. Completely shocked they had FTR win, that one I just din't get.

I know they have team lucha libre masks in the pipeline but hopefully it's more than just that because the one TK showed off for the Jags was lame
Yeah, as much as I'm not a big fan of Edge and Christian as singles generally speaking, I'd love for them to get a tag team title run.
Ibou/Backup Hangman on Twitter saying the same thing, basically. Timing is very bad for it though.

Here’s your regular reminder that Bully Ray is an idiot

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray proposes an idea he hopes that AEW President Tony Khan might think on.

Also once again, MyAEW with a VPN worked great for the PPV. If you buy the PPVs, you should do this and save a bunch of money.
Your loss. Worth it alone for being able to watch YouTube videos without ads i you pick the correct server location.
Do you know how to install an app on your computer or phone? Do you know how to login to an app? Do you know how to pick a specific country from a list of countries?
If you can say yes to all those, then you can handle a VPN.
This feels scammy.
You know how much it costs to become an AEW Insider and get early access to buy tickets? $0.00 a month

I guess I don’t care enough to go out of my way to vpn every ppv or force my dad to split my Netflix account fee.
Welp I’m sorry to hear that but you’ve been ragged on here for saying you forced someone to split your Netflix whether it was him or someone else def the vpn shows you have no problem skirting the system but that’s you.
Ya definitely now it’s something to brag about apparently - funny how that works just to save a few bucks on a wrestling show.
Same guy that complains about wwe tickets has no problem skirting paying full price for an AEW ppv thus directly affecting their ppv revenue/buys.

It’s not effecting their buys: they are still getting a buy. Well technically a monthly subscription. They get more money out of me now via MyAEW than they were when I was occasionally buying a PPV.
Another good use for a VPN - you can use it to watch WrestleMania via Netflix

Cool - please log off blue sky and Reddit it would help get out of the echo chamber.
Idk if we should call you doink since you’re a clown or repo man because your a thief.
VPN itself might be legal but the usage of it to bypass I doubt is but whatever justifies it works for you.
It's not illegal. Work on your education. Netflix, for one example, even has an article on their website saying you can do it https://help.netflix.com/en/node/119024
First Gen Music pirate here. A little legality never stopped us and I haven’t paid $18.99 for an album with 2 good songs and a bunch of crap after 1999.
VPNs are great. I use it to watch WWE PLEs on Netflix, a service in which I pay for. F you for insisting I pay $30 a month for this ESPN thing because I live in the US, and turn around and give it away internationally for the cost of a Netflix subscription.
Also use it to look at adult sites because ain’t no way in hell am I giving one of those sites my government ID with my name and address to prove I am old enough to see nekkid chicks. I’ll just be _______ (insert country here) for a bit.

You’re good b/c you actually pay for Netflix and are a decent human.
The other guy complains about wwe tickets yet bypasses to watch AEW ppv which is ironic. He also used to charge someone to pay half his Netflix.
Sit your VPN to Albania and enjoy commercial free YouTube as well
