That Trios Match

[chrom]

*chef's kiss*

After what happened earlier that match had the whole place rocking and rolling

I'm gonna have to go back and watch that again later.

F***ing classic, if this is the kinda stuff we get with Trios belts it's gonna be a wonderful addition to weekly viewing

Ospreay vs Omega is the SEMIFINAL too btw, just... wow. We're in for some amazing shit next week

[kingoftheindies]

I'll keep saying this. Dude has been a dumbass at best and a crappy person at worst, and whether you believe him in that he's trying to be a better person or not, but Will Ospreay is truly Billy GOAT in the ring and is up there as one of those guys who just has it. Whenever he decides to come stateside full time he's going to be the man.

[Chainsaw]

F*** Ospreay. That is all.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

That was a stunning match.

I don't think I've seen a trios match that hasn't ruled yet. Glad we have the titles now.

[Mozenrath]

I don't trust Ospreay yet. Like he's talked the talk to an extent, but time will tell if he means any of what he has said and if he's improving.

That said, I do think he has improved in the ring. He's always been quite a specimen, like, we knew this, but he's getting more organic about it all, and his presence has improved. I am still not keen on the Hidden Blade as a finisher and think it's frankly too dangerous, but a lot of his other offense is impressive, obviously. He used to be around on par with Ricochet, but I think it's not an uncontroversial opinion to say that Ospreay has surpassed him for some time now.

my expectations are low-ish, as far as Omega/Ospreay stuff goes, because of Kenny's masterful "I'm selling ring rust and injuries" psychology as he builds back up to being a fully operational Death Star.

I think this match is the first table setter in the ultimate end game for the two of them; the sub-main event of Wrestle Kingdom (and, I dunno, 9 stars from Papa Meltz)

Best match I've seen for a long time. I’m still not Ospreay’s biggest fan but he is incredibly talented no doubt. The Kip Sabian stuff also paid off even if I think it could have done with a little more build before what happened last night.

[polarbearpete]

Awesome match, the trios matches should always try to keep up that crazy frenetic pace to differentiate them from the rest of the show.

The selling will definitely hold it back in some ways, but I think it'll play into a really great story because of it. Ospreay's being built as a guy near Kenny's level, likely yeah to set up the Dome match, and he's unique in the field of this tournament for it. None of the LFI guys have that credibility in AEW. Best Friends and Dark Order don't. So we've got a setup here where there is what would undeniably be an incredibly intense and brutally fought match-up with both guys at a hundred percent but Kenny adamantly not being at that. I think we'll see some flashes of brilliance as an appetizer for a later match, enough to where we can see what they can do in a different environment, but held back enough for Ospreay to absolutely be a riddle Kenny can't solve in his current state. And if anyone can sell being outmatched as compellingly as possible, it'd be Kenny.

Apparently, Meltzer gave it five stars. It was great, but not five stars great, IMO.

I hope it's JUST to piss Omega off lol

[chrom]

I say at most it was 4.5 star rating

Yeah I fully understand people not trusting Ospreay. I mean not including the Pollyanna stuff he has a long history of being a dumbass so he really has to show it.

He reportedly has cut ties with some of his more problematic associates in the last 2 years so it's a start

I'm still waiting for an actual apology from him or Paul for being the only pricks that booked Scott Wainwright after Polly identified him as her rapist.

The closest thing we ever got was Will doing some notes app tweet where he said he "would like to apologise to Pollyanna" (which isn't actually saying sorry), and accusing her of being a bully and a stiff worker with nothing to back that up.

Like I said, I get wanting more from him and I will not say anybody should forgive him. He's apparently taken some steps in the right direction but that doesn't mean he's forgiven
