AEW Rampage 10/8/21
Figured Rampage could use it's own weekly thread to discuss Rampage stuff n things
|
I"m watching.
|
Punk/Garcia should be good
|
CM Punk incredibly boring so far... hope they actually do something interesting with him soon!!!
|
Punk back in pants
|
The long bois return
|
Damn, hope this is not the same type of AEW CM Punk match again where it's mad slow for like the first 10 mins
|
2.0 so entertaining
|
Garcia and 2.0 are very smarmy. Love it.
|
Crowd sounds much better
|
Big fan of Daniel Garcia
|
Really like García in this match. All his leg stuff looks really snug.
|
A quarter into the show and Jericho seems to have adjusted his commentary to be less shouty.
|
Pepsi twist baby
|
Punk looks like he landed right into the barricade. Great match so far.
|
Anaconda Vice!!!
|
Really enjoyed Punk/Garcia, good match
|
solid match. garcia is the goods.
|
Excellent. Anaconda Vice bay bay. Punk 3 for 3 in good matches. Stunned.
|
Damn I wish there weren't spoilers for Rampage... ruins the "anything can happen next" feeling when watching AEW shows...
|
Lio and Dante are gonna have a helluva match when they get there. Punk v Sydal? Meh.
|
i have no real interest in punk/sydal. this isn't 04 ROH.
|
Good rap from Caster
|
Garcia vs Punk was really good. Garcia is a top prospect, has a bright future
|
Glad the crowd is still hot for Rampage this week...
|
Thinking about the thing on Dynamite where they had Serena Deeb beat Shida after they already brought out her 50 win trophy... that was sweet...
|
Bowens got stiffed Jesus. Fun match. The acclaimed getting better and better
|
I missed the tag match, will catch it after the show ends
|
Skye Blue :heart:
|
The things I’d let Jade do to me
|
damn @ Skye Blue's ass cheeks . . .
|
weird @ Skye Blue getting the jobber treatment with the announcer unenthusiastically/quietly announcing her after she got a promo on Dynamite
|
pump kick to the liver
|
Well, you knew that match would be a minute long when they had 4 matches scheduled on an hour long Dynamite lol
|
put that tbs title on jade
|
Fish v Danielson on Saturday night dynamite? That’s gonna be really good.
|
I forgot Cage/Starks was happening tonight
|
I like Cage. That was his best promo since debuting.

|
So the eliminator tourney finals happen at Full Gear, so if Hangman wins the belt there his first challenger will be known
So many directions they can go in. Good shit. |
BAH GAWD THE MACHINE KICKED OUT
|
damn @ that lariat
|
Very fun main! Thought Cage was gonna pull that off
|
Easily Brian Cage's best match in AEW
|
That was a fun brawl. Good show.
|
Brandi pregnancy titties Jesus
|
Fun lil show! Good main event...
|
Rick STARks
|
k, going to watch tag match now and comment, ala Lock Jaw
|
Lockjaw is a dog's name
|
lol @ packing heat like Arn Anderson
|
Why is Excalibur saying Rey "Fin-ix" instead of "Fenix"
|
Would be funny if production cut to commentary and Jericho had bloodshot eyes and Jim Ross was shaking his head in disgust
|
just noticed Rey Fenix (not Fin-ix) has the AEW all over his gear, nice lil touch
|
Quote:
|
nice lil tag bout
|
Quote:
|
It’s “feh” like meh with an f.
|
I will always pronounce it Phoenix as that is what I usually hear when I watch him rassle
|
Tony cannot help himself...

Feel like that will backfire bc IIRC last time SD had 800k viewers on FS1...

I can’t see them beating smackdown.

might if it is on fs1

And still going strong. Don’t think I’ve watched a full show in over a year now. And I’m wrestling obsessed. What does that say about the product?
|
Everything and nothing.

Oh, wow this is no longer a weekly thread but a megathread for all Rampages. R.I.P. AEW interest here on TPWW.
Going to watch this past Friday's show now, even though have very little interest in doing so.... |
Starting off with CM Punk.... they like giving the reason to watch the show away at the start all the time...
|
Danny Garcia is the jobber with the most ummmm... "trying hard to be tough and maybe even believes it, but no one else does"
|
CM Pants is back....
|
Trying to hype up Punk vs a jobber as "wow look at all these big time first matches for Punk"
|
Punk does some rest holds and the fans going banana chanting "you still got it"!!
|
Jericho shouting out Punk as a trained MMA fighter.... not sure if that is something you want people to remember.....
Think Destor is onto something with all he said about Punk.... |
No interest in seeing him work against smaller dudes and use all these shoot holds.... should book him almost like Darby Allin... have him get beat up and focus on his heart and willingness to survive....
|
At the same time a conundrum because I also don't believe Danny Garcia beating up anybody, even CM Punk.... match going on too long, Punk should win already....
|
The best use of Punk right now actually be a manager.... there are guys who do everything he does in the ring but better.... but no doubt he is pretty much the most talented guy on the mic they have. I'd pair him with someone. No idea who.
He can still rassle once in a blue moon, that way it seems "special" when he does, but main focus should be as manager |
Or maybe not. Just writing stuff while being bored @ this match
|
Jericho with the most "disingenuous" sounding announcer voice since Mauro Ranallo
|
Even if you love Punk, is Daniel Garcia vs. CM Punk a match you need to urgently watch live? I’m seen some people blame the taped nature of the show, but you really don’t need spoilers to predict what that is about. You know you can DVR or YouTube that.
I’ve seen people praise the formatting of the show. I think it is patterned now to the point people know they can tune out or just not tune in. I also think they are feeling the recoil of over-saturation and the ceiling they put on their acts with irony and addressing the meta. I also think that the way they have presented Danielson, even more than the way they have Punk, has hurt them. Easy to think in terms of “These guys are great! If we just show them being great, we’re going to be great!” without thinking about how you do it or how it all fits together. |
They should give Punk a Negan gimmick where he beats the people he defeats to death with a barbed wire bat
|
Finally Punk wins....
|
Evan Bourne not liking Lio Rush but then immediately liking him when he gets him a match vs CM Punk..... which he probably could have just challenged Punk to himself if he really had that much desire to face him....
|
Wonder if the commentators will ever say anything about who the f this dude is who manages the Lucha Bros is
|
He's just kinda there with no explanation ever
|
Like give me even just a sentence saying "he is their agent" or "mentor" or whatever the heck he is
|
translator
|
Thankfully this squash match was shorter than the last
|
Am a fan of Jade Cargill....
|
Nice at a short and sweet squash match.
|
FTW title seems like a very "unnecessary" prop....
|
Did Brian Cage steal Kanyon's "who betta" thing
|
Sorry @slik, but my first impression of Ricky Starks is "what an awkward looking guy"
|
So Cage and Omega both do/encourage Terminator claps.... when they won't even change a mid card dude's shtick for one of their main guys you know they have a discipline problem..... or maybe not the right word.... a problem with not telling guys no or that they have to change....
|
Cool at unnecessary blood... so badass and edgy
|
Overall not a good show..... when a Jade Cargill 30 second squash match is the highlight of the show it is not something to be proud of....

I know people hate WWE commentary and maybe feel like it is "talking down to them" or "repetitive" when they say the same things every week..... but it is necessary to "build the brand" and "build the characters", especially to anyone who might be tuning in either for the first time or the first time in a long time. I mean, I'm not saying the AEW brand hinges on people knowing who the Lucha Bros. manager is, but it is just one of those little things that AEW need to work on to strengthen its on-air presentation. |
