Misc. Notes: there may be more matches on Zero Hour but I'm not sure if they're official yet (I don't have Twitter to check). Also, the match between Adam Cole and Tom Lawlor has been called off. Apparently Adam Cole is out with illness. In other words, Adam Cole is out with a dumb cold, bay-bay. Sorry, I had to.

Enjoy the show everyone.

Urnchos,

What an absolutely incredible show. Start to finish, just perfect. Both main events absolutely blew me away.

I could talk for paragraphs on it, but I'll just leave it at that and call it a day.

That pop was amazing. I LOVE Forbidden Door. And that Omega Ospreay match was....wow.

tigerdactyl,

That show was out of control! From getting ELP in the pre-show all the way to Bryan Danielson tapping out Okada with a broken arm, just wow.

Anyone who still says Bryan is better than Kenny after that is kidding themselves.

Banger after banger after banger after banger after banger after banger after banger etc.

Even the Zero Hour matches before and the scrum afterwards were amazing. Wrestling fans had a feast

ImADifferentBird,

That show was fucking amazing from beginning to end. AEW always delivers on PPV, but that was just next level.

I loved the show, but I'm very worried about Bryan Danielson not being able to use his right arm at the end. They treated the seizure as a work, but it was a very weird thing to do in a match.

Sounds like a broken forearm. They're saying he's out 6-8 weeks =/

He broke his forearm

I can't believe Okada tapped

TellumSiege,

Yeah I was shocked too. Thought Okada was taking it for sure.

Yeah they're definitely meeting again at WK

WK? I'm thinking All In at Wembley.

cupcakezealot,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That's true too; I only said Wrestle Kingdom just because Danielson hasn't been to one yet (I don't think at least) and I'm sure it's on the bucket list. Maybe 2nd match at All In and then the 3rd at WK?

TellumSiege,

I have no idea why but for some reason I was thinking about Omega/Ospreay when I made that comment. You're right, there's a great chance Danielson/Okada happens at WK. We'll see about Wembley…but right now I think they're setting up Danielson vs. McGuinness for that one.

cupcakezealot,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Oh no worries! Quite frankly I wouldn't mind seeing Omega/Ospreay at All In and WK just because they're that good though ;)

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Now we're speaking the same language ;p lol. Yeah, they're the best of the best. It wouldn't shock me if it happens either.

cupcakezealot,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Okada gently picking Bryan up by the head and cradling his neck 🥺🥹

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

OMG That shotgun dropkick! God I love this shit.

TellumSiege,

Main event time! Who do you think is going to win? I'm going Okada.

Montagge,

We all win!

TellumSiege,

Great answer.

cultsuperstar,

I love the crowd cheering equally for both Danielson and Okada lol

cupcakezealot,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Bryan is definitely rooting for Okada

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Well colour me surprised

cultsuperstar,

Kind of an odd finish to the Sting trios match.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Yeah it felt rushed...or something. Just off.

AngrilyEatingMuffins,

Sting was supposed to dodge Sammy which would explain how he came back and why Sammy stayed out of the match. Still fun. Stinger is made of some kind of shiny metal istg

I wonder if Darby was legit hurt, it seemed like he should have had a larger part. Same kinda goes for Sting, though, so who knows.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

I couldn't tell if Darby was injured but it wouldn't surprise me. I feel like he's flirted with disaster so many times that he's due for at least one injury lol.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Did Sammy chip a tooth or is that blood? Hard to tell.

cultsuperstar,

Looked like blood to me.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Yeah you're right. It looked better afterwards.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

What a match. Gotta think they're gonna run it back at Wembley.

fourfouroneone,

That was outstanding. I still have chills!

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Same! Now imagine what it's going to be like in front of 70,000+.
