Metallica? tony khan right now
- Queen and Metallica in the same show.
  And yet they still couldn't get the actual Evanescence song for Christian Cage.
  
  Just want Amy Lee to sing it live in person for Christian. It's what the father of the year deserves.

Cole is not being a good brochacho rn
- Cole needs a lesson in hugonomics.

MJF: No I can't hurt my best buddies
Cole: Coward. I'll show you how it's done.

Are they going full WM 17 with this?

I didn't buy the show, so I'm not here to comment on it. But...
SRS is reporting that Jack Perry and CM Punk got into a physical altercation... I've never been anti-punk but I'm really fucking getting there. It's going to depend on if SRS can get the circumstances.

- Jack vs Punk could be a nice feud as well. Alot to explore on both sides and Punk could showcase Jack
- Damn. If only I could figure out the common denominator in all these issues...
  Did SRS say when it happened? Before or after Zero Hour?
  
  Just before Punk came out.
  Apparently, it's the glass comment.
  https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1695847735079916015?s=20
- My assumption is that Punk was pissed about Jack’s real glass comment
  
  Is there a backstory about the glass, or why did that set him off.
- Fucking hell.
  
  Punk picking fights with Jack now great job dude pick fights with the biggest stars today and now a future aew world champion what a clown punk is

😂 Mf'er comes out as the Devil and is about to get cheered

Can't believe 80,000 people in London got to see Metallica open for Fozzy

I know I'm waaaaay behind but I can't believe they put the ROH belts on BTYBB! I haven't even started the actual PPV and I'm already getting swerved!
- It's been awesome. Just all gas no brakes.
- You are in for a treat, my friend.

Wrestlers who watched Sting growing up getting to put on banger after banger with him you love to see it
- No joke, I'm gonna shed tears when Sting finally retires.
  
  I will too. One of my favs as a kid and he’s been great in AEW.
  
  Legitimately happy that he got to go on a fantastic run after WWE stunk up his run in WWE in 2015 though. I like that his is what we remember not that.

Moxley with a nice tribute to Terry Funk there :')
- That was great. This whole match feels like a tribute to Funk.

😂😂😂 Penta is a menace

Broooooo no!

I’m so glad they faked me out and Penta is okay.

That dropkick from Darby was insane.

Wow. What a fucking match. Not the ending I expected but damn what a match.
- That match really picked up at the end. Didn't think FTR would win.
  
  Same. I thought losing would sort of act as a punishment for the whole Cash thing...
- They must be confident cash is going to beat the charges

We all deserve a friend like MJF

A coffin drop onto a coffin!? Holy shit.

It's so wild for him to sing Judas while Sammy his last friend accompanies him
😂😂 Now that I think about it, I don't think this is going to be a happy emotional ending
- It's funny how Jericho's theme is all about someone giving in to his darker impulses and alienating everyone around him, and everyone is so shocked that he keeps doing exactly that.

Good to see Kip getting a bit of a spotlight on commentary.
And I had no idea this started an hour ago. Don't know how I missed that...
- I don't think they advertised an earlier start time at all, that caught me by surprise as well. Also really glad to see Kip getting to do something on this show.
  
  Same here! I was awake but still in bed because I didn't think it started until 9am! So I'll probably be an hour behind because I'm watching from the beginning!
  
  Yeah they didn't really emphasize it, but I've been burned several times on overseas UFC cards

Aww, no Cutler for the Young Bucks entrance so no UK Cutler Cam on BTE :(
- Great catch. And yeah, that's really disappointing...
  
  It's just because Cutler's going to run in on the Cole/MJF winner, cash in, and become champion, clearly. I choose to believe.

That was more fun than I expected it to be. Good show! And I loved all the comments here. Glad to have found a positive wrestling space here.

Toni's new old Hollywood gimmick is so fucking good. Finally has the gear and music to match.
- Literally the reason God Save The Queen was written for tbh
- I don't think she will be using God Save the Queen at every show, but yeah, the whole presentation was aces.

We better basically get a best of 7 between FTR and the Bucks over the ylnext few years

Cole has had several party fouls

THIS SHOW FUCKS

God I really wish AEW was spending the week post All In here.
Getting All In, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision as a tour would have been great. :(

I expected the camera to pan to Mercedes during the women’s match, not the trios title match lol
- Mercedes Varnado; not a cop.
- Mercedes, like everybody, loves The Acclaimed.
- Yeah, it was weird lol. But it's a good sign she'll be in AEW soon.

Who you got? Cole or MJF?
- I feel like Adam Cole is turning on MJF. A long shot but the kingdom or Kyle O'reilly interferes.
  
  I can't wait for KOR to come back.
  
  I love The Kingdom and you have no idea how much I would love heel Cole, O'Reilly, Bennett, Taven, and Maria as a mega stable.
- I'm sticking with my Cole prediction.
  
  That's what I feel.
- I feel like MJF retains, if only because the whole "Real World Champion" angle doesn't really work without a unification match between Punk and MJF down the line.
  
  Or winning the in a battle royal after entering at number 3
- MJF

That looked bad
- What did?

Nigel is a great Christian shill

I want to start seeing Swerve win big matches.
- I think they're at least moving him in the right direction. He gels with The Embassy incredibly well, much better that when he had the Brock and Umaga knock-offs.

Amazing show! They killed it!
- They absolutely knocked it out of the park. I could go for another two hours of that, easily.

We are blessed that TK is a mark with money
- All the entrances have not disappointed.

Westside Gunn always sticks out

Awesome show. I'll come back with some comments later, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for taking part. It was a fun show and a really fun thread.

That Takeshita forearm shot had a serious echo to it

This match is basically a try to stay straight challenge, my god.
- Lmao that's gold Jerry, gold.

The one right thing Cole did cost him the match

Roddy with the Dynamite diamond kick to the dick

London loves scissoring with Julia

My guess for how MJF/Cole shakes out:
– Win RoH belts
– Quick celebration mid-show with Renee. Cole says something like, "No matter what happens later I love you and you're my best friend." Max agrees. It seems wholesome.
– Cole wins the world title due to "shenanigans" he'll claim he had nothing to do with. MJF believes him. But we won't.

As always, if you’re reading this, please upvote/boost the thread. It helps our community gain a little more visibility.
In return, I’ll pay you back with upvotes and boosts galore in the comment section.

It's strange to see this many people and it not being wwe
- It really is. It's shocking they were able to pull in 80k+.
- I know, right? This feels like a Wrestlemania, doesn't it?

I can't guarantee I'll be posting during the show since I'm hosting a watching party. But I'll be watching live and at the very least, all comment contributors will receive their upvotes and boosts after the show.
Congrats to our new RoH Tag Champs.

Nice to see Kip.
Btw, not sure if this is the bug mentioned before, but this thread didn’t show in the magazine for me. Had to look through my feed for it.
- Thanks. I'll try unpinning it and see if that helps.
  I don't wanna spoil the mood too much so all I'll say is I'm incredibly frustrated with Kbin right now. I'll vent more after the show. But thanks to all for showing up.
  
  Kbin seems almost like an alpha product. Lemmy still has some rough edges, but it seems light years ahead of Kbin.
  Hell, it seems like I have a better experience using Kbin magazines from a Lemmy instance than I ever did using Kbin directly.

Was Simon Miller one of the security guards during the Miro and Powerhouse contract signing?
Yeah it was 100% Simon Miller!

Jack Perry, you motherfucker. You would roll up in a damn limo. I love this shit.

I wouldn't call it excessive, but this FTW title match is bloodier than I was expecting.

It always makes me smile when Taz gets to be on commentary for a Hook match.

what has anthony ogogo been up to. has he been injured?
- The last I heard (maybe a year ago?) is that his eyesight keeps worsening. I'm not certain, though.
- He's had a number of eye surgeries and maybe some others as well. Hopefully he's all good to go.
  It's gonna be hard to get him the reps he needs to get better though. Especially without Dark/Elevation now.

Man I love the new version of Jack Perry. It feels like he's really found himself as a heel.
- Yeah, as much as I loved Jungle Boy, it really feels like he found himself with the heel character.
  
  Absolutely. You have to think Christian's rubbed off on him somehow.
- Once he came out to Beethoven everything clicked into place.
- He was a bit awkward at first, I think, but now I’m really enjoying him as a heel.

I hope everyone watching has a blast and everyone attending tears the roof down! This one feels special

Battle Cry gets me hyped everytime

Either my internet or Bleacher Report is acting up and I'm somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes behind. Gonna bow out of the live discussion to avoid spoilers.
- Sorry to hear, bro. Hopefully you can get caught up somehow
  
  I think I'm good now.

Takeshita is so freaking good
- He's so good x4
  But seriously he's crushed it as a heel and as a face. Really impressive for a guy who has limited English.
