AEW AEW XCV: The Road to Wembley

[BEAST]

Also Jeff Jarrett being apart of all these random matches lately makes up for the quality, he looks like he's having the time of his life out there whether it be the concession stand brawl, this match, on the Briscoe farm, next has to be the Hardy compound.

The fact that there are still Anti-JJ people, goes to show that people can't get over the past (TNA, WCW).
This swansong of a run is up there with Sting.

Even though it was an obvious cash grab for the Texas Chainsaw match, at least it was done with good intentions. Apparently TK gave all the money he got from that collaboration to Hawaii in addition to his other donations.

Reminder that he was just trying to cut the Briscoe’s grass and was senselessly attacked for it!

My word. This week's Dynamite. The good, the bad and the fucking horrendous. A bunch of meaningless multi-man matches for the biggest show they will ever do. Didn't have to be like this. But All Out in front of a fraction of the crowd All In will have...

OC vs Yuta was good. Right guy won thankfully. I couldn't give a fuck about a Stadium Stampede mach.

Kenny interview was something. Don's been the one supplying his Omega's gear? 6 man at Wembley. Will Ibushi show up again and not give a fuck? Can't wait to find out.

Jericho segment was Russoriffic. Swerve city bitch. Will Ospreay is about to have the worst match of his career. Hilarious that this was the one singles match booked on this show.

Jack Perry about to bury that cheap trinket. Great!

Darby/Wayne match was fine. Joker Sting!

The MJF/Cole skit was really bad.

The MJF/Cole in ring promos were fantastic. That is how you sell a fucking match.

Lol'd at Roderick Strong's growing list of injuries. Dude's gonna wind up looking like the YETAAAAAYYY soon enough.

The Deathmatch was what it was. Taz not so subtly burying it was the highlight - until I saw the hilariously cheap belt. I get that this was something put upon AEW by the Turner people, but my god this was an all-timer wrestlecrap masterpiece.

Britt wins. I am shocked. I have somewhat made my peace with Saraya winning the belt at Wembley. Feel real bad for Jamie Hayter.

They really should've cut the Acclaimed angle thing. They were really running short on time.

Main event was fine. Everything at 5x speed. Surprised they had time for the angle afterwards.

Gotta give them credit, it’s very well written. It was the most face reasoning to turn heel that I can remember. “I need to get back to my roots and I need you to help me.” He didn’t stab the audience in the back, he put trust in the wrong person. Now he doesn’t seem disingenuous afterwards and the audience can trust him. That’s good stuff

And some people here will say RUSSO wrote it!

lol @ Toni Storm

Edge is All In (heavy sarcasm) although seeing a full on heel Christan and Edge interaction would be fun.

Saraya's bday in the locker room



My three takeaways
- Summer Rae sighting!
- Even Britt showed up!
- Yuka Sakazaki brushing her teeth the entire time YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYYAYAYAYA

I think All In could have been booked better with a couple tweaks.

Omega v Ospreay (no build necessary just do a MOTY at the biggest show of the year)

Samoa Joe v Punk (I’m fine with this only Punk should have never beat Joe on Collision. Then you get a way bigger pop at Wembley when it happens)

Jericho v Takeshita (could still do same Don Callis angle)

FTR v Bucks- this is fine
Cole v MJF- this is fine

I think all the group tag matches are going to ultimately water down the impact of the show. TK must be the biggest tag mark that any Booker has ever been.

Pretty sure NJPW has dibs on the Omega and Ospreay story

Ryan Nemeth would bring prestige to the leather face championship

That was nice and wholesome, then she had to pull the mayo out with the pizza.

What a dastardly heel.

Speaking of Ronnie Radke, I'm surprised Saraya hasn't been "cancelled" by the weirdos on Twitter and Reddit over Ronnie Radke's anti-trans meltdown on Twitter.
