[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

10 “Totally not Adam Cole Under the Devil Mask” Ninjas out of 10.

[Urn Anderson]

Not enough wrestling for me, and I thought that contract signing fell extremely flat, but MJF’s absolutely killer promo brought it up to a 6.

I also have to give credit to the Captain Insano appearance and MJF looking like Popeye.

[Celgress]

6 out of 10, just slightly above average, IMHO.

[The Ichi]

Would have been a 7 but I have an unwritten rule that ninjas add a two point bonus. So 9 it is.

[Cyno]

NINJAS/10

Weird show, but there were apparently some less-than-fortunate circumstances preventing a lot of wrestlers showing up. That and some killer promo segments. So given the circumstances, I'll be nice and give it a 7.

[Deleted]

Rough go home show before a big ppv especially with all the audio issues

generous 6

[asuka007]

7/10:

I love Statlander.

But part of me is thinking it might be more interesting if Julia won. Everything is just clicking with her right now and it might lead to more interesting story potential.

[CeilingFan]

10.

[Mid-Carder]

I generally really enjoyed it so would give it an 8, although as a fan of both guys I thought the contract signing segment was a bit disjointed. Ultimately it won't matter when they have a banger match.

Usual point each off for Renee and for Claudio's horrific theme music

What did Renee do wrong?? Lol

Just is on my TV every week. Sadly she's an automatic point off every week, as is Claudio's music but this week was a double whammy!

[KME]

8 for me, really liked basically every match, particularly the 3 way and 4 way, Julia looked fantastic, really excited by MJF/Jay White and thoroughly enjoyed their back and forth, loved the MJF/Cole boat segment and loved, and am really intrigued by, the cliff hanger, whodunnit ending and where that goes as it's not something they usually do. I didn't really have any audio issues either so maybe that helped, for me to the crowd noise changed a lot but it mostly captured them at their loudest which is all I really care about.

I get that for some it was light on wrestling but that's never a 6 out of 10 show for me.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

7-8, leaning 8, so that's what I voted. It was maybe a little too angle heavy at times for my personal tastes and what I expect from AEW, but the angles were all entertaining and the show absolutely flew by (which is a major metric for me in deciding how I feel about the weekly wrestling shows). The Cage/Nick/Claudio match was also really good, I thought.

I’m a Statlander stan (sig is obvious) but yeah Julia getting the title would be the way to go. She’s really winning the crowd over (even though HOB is intended to be heels but that’s a constant issue it seems) and is one of the more interesting characters right now.

EDIT: 8 out of 10 show. Bonus point for Captain Insano.

[schizo]

10 just for Robochristian alone, that was f***ing hilarious

[4real]

Would have been a 7 but il up it a point for the ending which was easily the most gripping thing on the show. The matches were fine without being must see. MJF killed his promo but man that segment dragged hard. I felt sorry for White by the end of it.

[Bo Rida]

Generous 5. Way too much talking, although the boat segment was great.

I did really like the fourway though, the ass boy didn't seem out of place. Commentary was funny for that too, Taz moaning about OC stealing everything from him including his son and Excalibur being so proud of his altitude comment during the break he said it again.

Julia is getting better every week.

[King (Super) Dragunov]

OC should never have lost the International Title, it's cursed now.
But Nick Jackson was the right call to win that match (and the only one I was interested in winning) since Fenix vs. Nick Jackson is something I'm definitely looking forward to.

Starks vs. Yuta is a downgrade to me, but I'm sure the match will be good. Yuta's starting to get very stale.
Might be the food/piss break match for me if I watch the show.

The Jay White/MJF segment was okay, but like most MJF slots lately it went on way too long.
Jay White gun-bumping the cardboard cutout got an audible laugh from me.
And I never thought I'd watch a promo where "weed" and "tofu" were both chanted.
I like both, so fair play to Denver.
I'm just glad that Switchblade is in the title picture.

Julia Hart should win the title this weekend. She won't, but she should.
That moonsault of hers onto Willow would make Iyo jealous.
I like Brody King being the gender-swapped Rhea Ripley for Julia.

Swerve stopping Nana from doing his terrible dance automatically made him the MVP of this episode.
I'm glad Swerve got the main event slot, and while not all the back and forth landed, "what's a buckshot to a killshot?" was a savage line. I clapped.
And I liked Hangman one-upping Swerve with the pen stab, like, Swerve's already said he has no empathy, you just made that dude even angrier.
I hope they're allowed to tear it down at the PPV. I wish it was No DQ. Show the world how evil, and sadistic, Swerve can be.

MASKED MYSTERY PEOPLE! YES! I love a good whodunit angle.
If it's Adam Cole, oh man, imagine the heartbreak MJF is gonna feel when he was a good guy for the first time in his life, understanding and compassionate for the first time in his life, and it bites him in his sexy ass.

It makes sense to be Cole, esp since Roddy is clearly faking, and Max giving Adam the okay to go be with Roddy sets it up.
PLUS Adam would be taking out Jay White for his buddy, helping him out in the process of sending a message.

Still not sold on the PPV, but we'll see how it goes with the final 2 shows.

This one though, 7. The wrestling was decent, but I wasn't really invested aside from the women's match.
The feud-building and promo work carried the show, and it was good enough for me this go around.

[daaave]

Move Yuta into tag division with Claudio. Them vs FTR would slap
