Adam Cole vs MJF's storyline is genuinely pretty good. Very solid main event for All In

THE MEGA BUDDIES COLLIDE

Someone in the crowd at the signing of the contract

Read it! He's a Scumbbag remember!

I've not really followed properly since this all began, but is the MJF/Cole storyline not a re-hash of the MJF/Jericho storyline from a while back?

Its more Jericho/KO than Jerico/MJF. It's very over with the crowd.

 

[sledger]

Fair dos. I've seen individual segments here and there, but I've not been grabbed by AEW as of late. Feels like it is missing something atm.

 

[Athlai]

Did you see the tag matches in the tournament? Great bit of in ring storytelling

And yeah AEW seem to be moving things around a bit right now. Hoping the lead in to All In will get the pieces together.

BCC vs Best Friends should be a cracker.

The first parking lot brawl since the great proud and powerful vs best friends one way back in year 1

 

[sledger]

I've not seen, but I'll give them a go.

But yeah, it kind of feels like there is a lack of starpower at the top of AEW at the moment to me. Omega needs to go back up the card or something.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Moxley and Omega need new programs for sure. I think we may get Moxley with a secondary championship for a bit soon. While Cole MJF is fun its the same issue as KO Jericho back in the day, where it didn't quite deserve the top title in the storyline.

Not sure what Punks doing right now, feuding with Starks maybe?

 

[Heboric]

Julia Hart seems pretty promising. Pretty funny that she seems to have by far the biggest future of the Hollywood Blondes or whatever they were called. Can't see Brian Pillman Jr doing much in NXT

Close, I think they were called Varsity Blonds

 

[Mike5181]

Anyone else only watching Collision from the AEW television options? Week to week it seems the most consistent, and although I find Dax harwood to be a whiny little bitch - FTR, Jay White, and CM Punk's style of storytelling seems a lot more my style.

Also I was excited about the Wembley show with 80k+ people but the matches sound like a disappointment. Never been an Adam Cole guy, modern Jericho is one of the worst things about AEW and every match placing he was on in New Japan felt like a downgrade relative to other options. Moxley is hugely overexposed. But all three are involved in the biggest and only matches that seem a lock for the event.

 

[Heboric]

The Toni Storm "highly strung diva" promos/segments are hilarious

Tony Khan must handle these CM Punk issues, these backstage going ons is ridiculous. Sad because AEW Collission is quite good - the episodes I have seen at least.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Toni Storm seems to have found her gimmick.

CM Punk is just a walking disaster behind the scenes these days.

This popped up on my reddit feed just now. Pure gold, was glad to have witnessed this when it happened

All In (confirmed matches)

• Chris Jericho Vs. Will Ospreay

Can Jericho actually keep up with Ospreay, I heard the rumor this would be a match. Jericho is getting on in years.

 

[sledger]

It'll be Ospreay throwing himself around like a madman, and Jericho doing his usual brawling thing. But yeah there's no way Jericho could wrestle the kind of match he'd have been capable of in 2001, or even 2008. They'll make it work imo.

Yep

 

[sledger]

It's wild to think that Jericho's run with the WHC was about 15 years ago. In my head it is still "kind of" recent. Where does all the time go.

 

[Athlai]

Jericho has even had pretty great runs in the last 10 years. Not very excited for Ospreay vs Jericho that said. Would prefer his PPV single events to be rare these days.

Though I suppose with that crowd it might be a lot of fun
