Fyter Fest Show Notes!
GO!
+ Pre-show! +
~ BIKINI GIRLS! This show gets a 10 out of 10!
+ Private Party vs. SCU vs. Best Friends +
~ I don't think I've ever seen a "triple threat" tag match before...
~ Frankie Kazarian is a very impressive...
~ So the Bikini Girls are just going to stand there?
~ It is wrong that the Private Party remind me of the Street Profits?
~ And they're flying all over the place!
~ The Power of Friendship? What is this? My Little Pony?
~ Everyone seems to be hitting swinging/spinning DDTs...
~ Shooting Star Press!
~ What the hell was that high pitched scream?
~ So he's wearing a silk vest with coattails?
~ Why is the commentator ripping on Daytona?
~ & the Best Friends get the win...Nice.
~ Oh hey...its the Dark Order...& I don't really care...
~ And those "black outs" went for too long...
~ So...they are taking the piss out of Fyre Festival right?
~ NO! Don't take the Bikini Girls away! And we now have mannequins?
+ Leva Bates vs. Allie +
~ HEY! Its Blue Pants! I mean Leva Bates...as a sexy librarian? Okay...
~ Wow...that librarian gimmick is really, REALLY bad!
~ YAY! Its Allie! (AKA Bayley done right) & she looks great in that outfit!
~ WOAH! Who made Allie's ring attire? I mean I'm not complaining but its
cut fairly high on her cheeks isn't it? 11 out of 10!
~ So this is kind of cool seeing Allie vs. Blue Pants...two wrestlers I
really like...& not just because they are lovely to look at. Seriously
you could take either of these ladies home to meet your mother &
she would be impressed...
~ "The Shushing" is really, REALLY annoying...
~ Hey...its Brandy Rhodes...watching a TV from a proper angle...
~ That outfit is very snug on Allie...I approve. 12 out of 10!
~ Allie has a tongue ring...that's nice to know...
~ So I know these ladies are trying their best but this match has
killed the energy built up by the triple threat tag match...
~ "Aggressive" Allie makes me happy in pants...
~ And Allie gets the win with the BSE...YAY for Happy Allie Bunny!
~ And the bands have pulled out? Okay...
~ I wish I had hair like Kenny Omega...
+ Michael Nakazawa vs. Alex Jebailey +
~ And I'm worried about this match...
~ Ewww! Baby oil...
~ Oh...I get it...its a gimmick match playing into the video game
fighting tournament...I mean its not for me...but the crowd is
into it...
~ Hey! A table...
~ Wow...that spear through the table outside was cool...
~ What are those? It isn't lego...
~ And Nakazawa gets the win...in a stupid match that was stupid...
but it was harmless & the crowd enjoyed it.
~ Hey...it Jim Ross...
~ Oh...and if anyone out there has a problem with the AEW putting
all their "goofy & weird" shit on the pre-shows...then just skip the
pre-shows in future.
Problem solved.
Anyway...moving on!
+ Main Show! +
~ There is a different commentary team for this event...
~ Running down the card...
~ Stage looks really good. Clean & crisp & not too busy...
~ Is it me or does the ring seem slightly more bouncy than normal...
~ The pyros are a nice touch...
+ Christopher Daniels vs. Cima +
~ Ultimo Dragon reference!
~ The commentary is already better than Double Or Nothing...
~ Whenever I hear the name Goldenboy I can't help but think of
that terrible manga/anime of the same name...
~ Can I just say its really refreshing to watch some wrestling
that is not made/produced by the WWE.
~ Both guys are looking incredibly sharp...
~ BLUE THUNDER BOMB!!!
~ And Cima gets the win a very good main card opener...
Yay! the ladies are up next!
+ Riho vs. Nyla Rose vs. Yuka Sakazaki +
~ Riho is such a cutie pie...but why does she dress like a
porcelain doll?
~ So...I have some "thoughts" on Nyla Rose which I may post
at a later date. I'm not going to get into it here & now.
~ And its the Genie Girl...who is also incredibly cute...just
don't tell
@Seto The Ace of WWEF I said that okay.
~ Female ref!
~ So...do we ever acknowledge that Nyla Rose was actually
born a man at any point in time? I mean tell me if I'm wrong
but this seems a little unfair doesn't it? I mean at least Nia
Jax & Awesome Kong were born women.
~ Double Matrix Escape!
~ Double Suplex!
~ Double Camel Clutch! Make it stop!
~ Hey! Yuka is "rope walker" Nice!
~ Fuck You! Nah Fuck you! Nah Fuck You! Nah Fuck you! Nah Fuck you!
~ These Japanese ladies look so tiny in the ring...
~ 619 by Riho! I think I'm falling in love!
~ I saw a botch but I don't care...
~ Wow...that top rope knee strike was pretty impressive...
~ That double catch & pin attempt was cool...
~ 10 minutes remaining!
~ And Riho Cutie Pie gets the win! Yay!
~ Its amazing how expressive the Japanese ladies are...its almost
like they don't need to talk to tell a story.
~ Guest commentator!
+ MJF vs. Jungle Boy vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Adam Page +
~ So MJF is just EC3 set on "complete bastard mode" right?
~ HA! Their mother's swallow! Nice!
~ So Jungle Boy reminds me of Kamandi (Look it up!)
~ Luchasaurus is pretty cool...its a shame he didn't have a match
on this card...
~ Jimmy Havoc looks like he could be Rosemary's boyfriend...or
the lead singer of an industrial metal band...
~ So does anyone remember the "Smoking Guns"? Adam Page reminds
me of them.
~ Actually forget EC3...MJF looks more like Matt Striker...
~ Jungle Boy has some slick moves...
~ Nice sharpshooter by Hangman Page...
~ 10 minutes remaining...
~ And Hangman Page gets the win by pinning Jimmy Havoc...and
this was a really fun match with everyone getting a chance to shine.
More of this please AEW!
+ Cody Rhodes vs. Darby Allin +
~ So I have no idea who Darby Allin is...although he looks like
he could form a tag team with Jimmy Havoc...
~ And Goddamn look at Brandi in that outfit! Yummy! Oh...and Cody
is there as well I guess...
~ Hey! Raven use to sit in the corner like that Darby...
~ Jesus...Darby Allin is built like a bean pole...
~ He went through the ropes...what the hell?!
~ Listening to J.R talk about Darby Allin is kind of cringe...
~ 10 minutes remaining...
~ FINGERS! Pete Dunne approves!
~ 5 minutes remaining...
~ I like the narrative of Darby targeting Cody's hand & fingers...
~ That "Coffin Drop" was fucking insane...
~ The body bag stuff was kind of dumb...you put them in the bag
once you've pinned them...
~ And a time limit draw with a "nearly there" finish...that was really cool...
~ Man...this was a huge match for Darby Allin...
~ And Tye Dilli...I mean Shawn Spears is here...and that chair shot
was pretty nasty. I know they said the chair was "gimmicked" but it
still looked pretty nasty...Cody is okay right?
+ Fenix, Pentagon & Laredo Kid vs. Kenny Omega & the Young Bucks +
~ The Street Fighter cosplay is pretty cool...
~ Round 1 Fight!
~ Can we get Allie cosplaying as Cammy from Street Fighter?
~ Pentagon looks great in red & black...
~ And they are flying everywhere already...
~ Double Northern Light!
~ And everyone goes flying again...
~ These guys are fucking nuts...let me just throw you nearly into
the crowd yeah?
~ Superkick Party!
~ HADOKEN!!!
~ This is insane!
~ 10 Minutes Remaining!
~ One-Winged Angel!
~ And Kenny & the Young Bucks get the win...and that match was
just insane....and a lot of fun to watch.
~ And Kenny & Pentagon are having a chat...
& the main event is...
+ Joey Janela vs. Jon Moxley +
~ No Penelope Ford tonight? Damn!
~ Its so great to see Jon Moxley looking excited about wrestling
again. You made the right decision Mox.
~ And we're in the crowd already...
~ Here...let me give you a...leg? HA!
~ And Mox is bleeding already...
~ And that barbed wire chair looks nasty...
~ Keep breaking the tables guys...
~ I bet dealing with that barbed wire is easier than dealing
with the WWE creative team & writers. BOOM!!!
~ Hey look...a ladder...
~ And more broken tables...
~ More barbed wire...
~ And I'm glad there isn't any shit in that bucket...
~ And hello thumb tacks...
~ The fact Moxley took off his shoes & socks has me cringing...
~ And I'm cringing! You sick fuck indeed...
~ This feels like a purging process for Mox...
~ And Mox hits "The Paradigm Shift" to finish Janela off...and that shot
of Moxley spitting out a thumb tack was fucking cool.
~ And Omega attacks Moxley...and I'm so keen for the actual Omega/Moxley
match.
Final Thoughts:
Honestly its just great to be able to watch some wrestling that doesn't
make me bitter & angry. AEW is like a breath of fresh air...and I want
to keep breathing it.
I scored this event an 8...but really my score doesn't matter because I
just enjoyed watching it. Sure there was some goofy shit on the pre-show
but its better there than on the main card...which was solid to great across
the entire board.
Bring on the next AEW show!
