AEW Double or Nothing May 23rd, 2020 Live Discussion

I guess if that's what you wanna call it. I see it otherwise. But, whatever is clever.

Hi, Chosen feds are AEW, WWE & New Japan because they're the biggest feds and variety is the spice of life (also not everybody watches WWE weekly either...).

There's no penalty for skipping a show, and also given how wrestling works there's no guarantee that you'll get everything right just because you watch every week either... If I had more time I'd probably include NWA and MLW too (and, tbh, if NWA get to regular programming and PPVs again they might get in anyway depending on the timing).

Enjoy the ride - you might be tempted to watch something you otherwise wouldn't and find some fun stuff

 

[Chris]

I'd be cool with throwing in any major show from ROH and Impact or various smaller companies as well if they get back to having PPVs, it's all in good fun anyway

 

[Smart Marx]

Impact only does 3-4 PPVs a year so I don't see any reason to skip them.

 

[Smart Marx]

ROH is basically a house show, though.

Well, fair enough. I guess I have my answer.

Watching Double or Nothing as we speak. We've gone through a ton of negativity and darkness this Week in Wrestling and I commend AEW really giving us something to laugh and enjoy when we needed it desperately. The only Match I thought welp I feel like skipping this is Spears vs Dustin Rhodes. Not to say I didn't like the Flair I'm in my Underwear Tribute, it's just felt like you made it seem like Spears was moving up in the World and you turned him into a goof ball again, so why the need to put this on the PPV. MJF/Jungle Boy and Shida/Rose both damn good Matches. I said before the Storm that came down here before the PPV, that I would be shocked to see Nyla Rose lose the AEW Women's Title and it happened. I see you Shida Cosplaying as Tifa Lochart, but I knew going in Shida would well with Rose. She loves tough, big girls example Aja Kong and it was fun to watch those two ladies do their thing. I do feel for Rose a little bit, one Title Defense and then you lose the Championship. The Return Matches between the two of them is going to be even better no doubt in my mind.

Archer/Cody I was a little disappointed by to be honest. I didn't need the antics of Arn or Jake, and maybe I thought Archer was a little too dominate in the Match, to where Cody makes a few comebacks and the Match was over. I thought of any Match this was the closest 50/50 on who could win for me, and I thought both guys could of went up another gear, and they wanted to get there, but it never reached that point. I'm about to watch Lee vs Moxley and the Stampede Stadium Match let's do this!

 

[Mox Girl]

I've seen people hating on Mox vs Brodie on social media, and it's weird. I mean, was it the best match in the world? No. Was it a bad match? Hell no. It was fun, and the ending was unique, especially for Mox, he won in a way he's never won before.

It probably should have been no DQ properly (I know AEW refs are lenient but sometimes it borders on the ridiculous lol) or had a stip to justify the huge amount of time they spent outside the ring but apart from that I enjoyed it.

 

[Hoss]

I thought it was indeed a very good match and both guys came out of it looking good. I can understand some people getting hung up on the match not being No DQ but that seems like a fairly minor critique.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah Brodie Lee vs Moxley was indeed a good watch for me. The ending makes Lee seem even more of a badass to go out on your Shield. Listen I don't like his Character at all, but Lee the Wrestler I've never been disappointed and he was a good dancing partner with Moxley during their Match. Moxley gets through one War and now another is coming vs Cage and boy that is going to be killer. The Main Event easily is going to be one of the Matches I talk about for MOTY no doubt. Can you imagine the discussions Pre-Match of what they wanted to out there. We saw a Horse, Matt going through his Gimmicks, Dives everywhere, a Fight in a Bar, a 100 Yard Northern Lights Suplex, Ortiz afraid to swim, and many more great moments. Standing ovation is warranted with that one.

The problem with the match was that Brodie is almost as slow as Andre the Giant. Also, I think everyone is over this Dark Order shit.

That is beyond ridiculous and untrue.

Also, I think everyone is over this Dark Order shit.

That's more than likely true..

 

[Benoit's Weight Machine]

That is beyond ridiculous and untrue.

Seriously? The guy was in slow motion the whole match.

 

[Mox Girl]

I'm still waiting for the point of the Dark Order. Now that Brodie has been revealed as the leader, where do they go from here? They don't seem to be doing much, and the only bad thing they've done is beat Mox up and steal his belt for a few weeks

 

[Smart Marx]

I like Evil Uno. If they can get back to him being awesome, I'm not over Dark Order at all.
