>Show card:
*Sonny Kiss vs The Librarian (This should suck; hopefully Sonny Kiss squashes him in 30 seconds) *The Dark Order vs Angelico & Jack Evans vs Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy (Pre-show) *MJF, Shawn Spears & Sammy Guevara vs Jimmy fuckin' Havoc, Joey Janela & Darby "Anus" Allin (Pre-show) *Britt Baker & "Japanese Pro Wrestler" Riho vs TJPW Princess of Princesses Champion Shoko Nakajima & World of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley (Pre-show)
*Brandi Rhodes vs Allie (This should also suck) *Hangman Page vs Kip Sabian *S.C.U (Kazarian & Scorpio) vs Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix *Chris Jericho cuts a live promo (Probably shits on Evolve) *CIMA vs Kenny Omega *Cody Rhodes & Dustin Rhodes vs The Young Bucks
>When and where to watch:
7:30 PM EST (Pre-show), 8:30 PM EST (Main show). Basically, 6 and a half hours from now.
This is the official pre-game thread, as such, any and all discussion of the show should be held here. You can talk about snacks, what you're looking forward to or dreading, ticket sales, post pictures, ask where the fuck Yuka is, whatever you want. See you around showtime!
Terrible card. I'll pass and get ready for more NJPW kino later.
Connor Jackson
Meh, not really. There are some bangers in there amongst a mountain of shit. Basically, AEW's biggest problem right now is they have a very weak undercard and midcard division. CIMA vs Omega should be Omega's best match since leaving NJPW, so that should be something to look forward to.
Mason Evans
>my guys havoc and angelico on the preshow Jerichos promo will be good atleast
Logan Perry
>Ring not on stage
CMON
Gavin Russell
I think Jericho's going to shoot on WWE. I don't think Jericho gives a fuck anymore about Vince or Triple H. I expect something venomous.
Isaac Brooks
>literally shilling for gun control From my cold, dead hands you commie faggots.
Gavin Gutierrez
>half the world is fine without guns >somehow america isn't even with them
Really makes you think
Julian Baker
Trips should have just let him have some nxt dorks on the cruise they have a billion people signed
Robert Perez
>*MJF, Shawn Spears & Sammy Guevara vs Jimmy fuckin' Havoc, Joey Janela & Darby "Anus" Allin (Pre-show) Is Enzo gonna run-in?
>half the world is fine without guns Terrorist attacks, knife confiscations, needing IDs to purchase silverware, etc.
Nicholas Parker
No one needs an automatic gun you fucking faggot. Keep your handguns and rifles. We just want common sense regulation.
Oliver Phillips
To be fair, this is a really, really weird setup. The stage is literally the hardcam side but no one will be there so the wrestlers might have to play to a crowd with zero people in it. The entire audience will be directly behind them. There's also two cameras that'll be circulating around, too. It's a beautiful theater but it's awkward for wrestling.
William Nelson
>Terrorist attacks I can tak all those attacks that happend in the last 5 years sum them up and it would still probably be less than the amount of school shootings in a year in burgerland
Ayden Wood
Look in the areas where it says "cam". Those will be where the wrestlers play to. One is literally behind everyone, on the stage. Another is to the left, in the crowd. It's weird but we'll see how it comes across on TV.
>MJF, Shawn Spears & Sammy Guevara vs Jimmy fuckin' Havoc, Joey Janela & Darby "Anus" Allin (Pre-show) Surely this match is too good for the pre-show, what is the point of that
Daniel Bailey
wtf AEW can't be on tonight, I was going to watch NJPW, holy shit it's only been 2 nights of the G1 and now I'm going to be a day behind already why does this happen every year fml fmfl
Ryder White
...NJPW is on another timeslot tho?
Hunter Parker
Why are they fighting?
Blake Lopez
Dude, the whole order of this card is strange as fuck. Nakajima & Priestley vs Riho & Baker should absolutely be on the main show. Same with the 6-man you just mentioned. Trade those two matches and put Kip Sabian vs Hangman and Brandi Rhodes vs Allie on the pre-show.
But AEW would never do that because Brandi and Hangman are obviously heavily protected. I think the TJPW and Stardom champions on the same team is incredibly important and it should be highlighted but AEW pretends that match doesn't even fucking exist.
Wyatt Walker
>*Sonny Kiss vs The Librarian not really into this. hopefully they get through this one quickly. repackage peter and leva >*The Dark Order vs Angelico & Jack Evans vs Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy not feeling the dark order thing either. jungle boy is good tho MJF, Shawn Spears & Sammy Guevara vs Jimmy fuckin' Havoc, Joey Janela & Darby "Anus" should actually be a decent tag match. >*Britt Baker & "Japanese Pro Wrestler" Riho vs TJPW Princess of Princesses Champion Shoko Nakajima & World of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley MOTN contender >*Brandi Rhodes vs Allie not expecting much. surprise me brandi >*Hangman Page vs Kip Sabian should be decent >*S.C.U (Kazarian & Scorpio) vs Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix I actually think this will be pretty good >*CIMA vs Kenny Omega should be great MOTN contender >*Cody Rhodes & Dustin Rhodes vs The Young Bucks should be great MOTN contener
Owen Scott
Watch NJPW on AXS, sign up for a free account on B/R Live and watch Fight for the Fallen afterwards. They do free replays for the shows.
Evan Phillips
Holy fuck my girl BIG KAIJU is on this show teaming with the stardom champ? That's pretty significant
Colton Gomez
main hard cam is going to be the one on the bottom, right? that looks like a great view
Carter Perez
Yeah, dude. Where the fuck you been at? My issue is, AEW hasn't been promoting this match at fucking all. Why hasn't there been a "Road to _______" episode where they talk about the Joshis? Why are they just randomly showing up on these shows with no story? It's fucking dumb, AEW needs to formally introduce these girls to their audience.
Giving this card a crinfe, a yikef, and a hard pass to this semen slurping company For me it gotta be ding-dong diddly new japan! YEOOOOOOOOOOOW GO FUCK YOURSELF TRANNIES *begins convulsing wildly*
Carter Bell
Dude, look at this fucking venue. Part of why WWE looks so fucking boring and sterile is because they make every single arena they hold shows in look exactly the same. Part of what made WCW kino was taking place at these cool settings. This amphitheater is very kino and comfy.
Hey guys, remember how we were all speculating about Randy Orton possibly jumping to AEW and how he and Cody are good friends and how he was keeping a close eye on AEW's activity? Yeah well, this motherfucker's contract is getting frozen for a year once he gets neck surgery. It's over.
randy is definitely not a guy i'd have high on the list to sign from wwe
Ian Phillips
only 21 posters there doesn’t seem to be much interest sempai
Carter Brooks
>AEW >is shit
EVERY TIME
Jacob Garcia
That's because OP is retarded and made the thread five hours early.
Brayden Clark
Pre-game thread. The show doesn't start for 5 hours. We're just discussing venues and talking about shit, as people normally do during pre-game threads.
To be fair, I expect this show to be a lot better than Fyter Fest. There should be some great wrestling, a great Jericho promo, Kenny's best match since he left NJPW, the politics and booking involved in having Stardom and TJPW champions on the same team, the comfy theater.
Owen Turner
based edrones in ya head rent free
Isaiah Young
Wait this is the card? This looks like shit. How can I get a refund? Can I do it online or do I have to call my cable company?
Jackson Foster
What? There is literally one right there Are you retarded sweetie
>Basically, AEW's biggest problem right now is they have a very weak undercard and midcard division Yeah, and it shows how bad they are booking wise that instead of getting any of the midcard over, they keep putting them all in multiman matches where no one really gets to shine. The only people who are over in AEW were over beforehand besides the joshi.
Bentley Perez
>Main event is Young Bucks vs Rhodes
So L.A.X runs in after the Young Bucks win and they beat down the Bucks, right? They need dance partners for ALL OUT, now that Jericho, Cody, Hangman, Kenny, Spears and Moxley all have matches set.
Nathaniel Wright
>SHITMA >Young Cucks and Rhodes borethers Omega is wasted on this shit.
Michael Lewis
It's just as easy to murder people with a non-automatic gun
Oliver Robinson
Hes just going to talk about going over adam page and page will come out and theyll have a sissy brawl. Screencap this
Why would he go to AEW? At WWE he gets to barely do anything while being paid well. He doesn't seem like he has any desire to "prove himself" or anything
Lucas Smith
First off, he's still working a bunch of house shows and it's gotten to a point where he might have to undergo career-threatening surgery. The AEW schedule is significantly, significantly easier than WWE's schedule. Moxley's only working a bunch of dates because he's insane and wants to have fun.
John Campbell
AEW: Fight for the Fallen? More like AEWHO: Bored an' I'm snorin'!
Nathan Robinson
Support Tokyo Princess of Princess Champion Shoko Nakajima!
And you really think WWE wouldn't take him off house shows and give him a part time schedule if he asked for it? Have you ever considered that maybe he's working those house shows because he wants to? Haven't watched WWE in years but your virgin smark is showing
Thomas Richardson
Sorry, I’m watching New Japan
Gavin Hill
I want to lick her asshole
Luis Torres

Robert Gomez
>AEW >Evolve >UFC >Extreme Rules >3 NJPW shows.
Jesus fucking Christ, this weekend. Are they legitimately trying to kill Dave Meltzer?
>3x njpw ?? One was today one is tomorrow when is the third
Christian Hall
One was this morning, one tomorrow morning and another Monday morning.
Parker Allen
They're still under contract until the end of the month..
Evan Rodriguez
It's kinda cool, but won't the crowd noise be shit there? Dead sounding crowds lead to people shitting on your product so I can understand why companies would prefer to run in traditional arenas
Connor Adams
Kenny literally talked about the joshis during the last Road to Double or Nothing video. Plus they're in Japan all the time which makes things difficult.
William Cruz
Logistics. The story is there it's just not explicit. The best women (based on records) in AEW right now facing 2 champions from 2 different promotions.
Noah Morgan
It's like when ROH held an event at a baseball stadium
Thomas Wright
I have never been more confused in my life
Anthony Campbell
What a shit card; and all those crybabies in this thread going on about guns I literally own all kinds, and my friends do too, and our families, and we don't murder people nor do we ever consider it. We are allowed to have things, just be responsible
Easton Martinez
i'm a yuropoor and only own one (1) remington 870 :(
this card is bad. melts will give half the matches 4 stars.
Aiden Davis
2 hours leffffftttt
Charles Barnes
How many bongs left?
Hunter Diaz
>Why hasn't there been a "Road to _______" episode where they talk about the Joshis? Because nobody except for a handful of weebs gives a shit. Women can't wrestle
Jose Nguyen
Is darby anus part of the card? i actually liked him at fyter fest, if he isn't on the card i literally don't ding-dong diddly care about this show
Camden Reyes
Sorry I watched the g1 climax this morning, i won free wendys for a week, went to the beach it was 90s and the water was almost 80, had sex, took a shower, got a clue and g1 is on again in 8 hours from now.
They made it clear from this week's BTE that they're aware of the reaction to the librarian shit, and aware that people fucking hate it. So this preshow match is a great opportunity for them to address it.
Jonathan Foster
They also made it clear they don't give a shit about the negative reactions and seem like they want to double down on the stupid shit.
Brody James
Looking forward just about everything on the card except the openers. Pretty hype.
Julian Wilson
How? Where the hell have you seen this?
Xavier Perez
>The Dark Order vs Angelico & Jack Evans vs Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy (Pre-show) Where did you get this? Card didn't say it was on the buy in.
Juan Jenkins
watch the newest BTE
Eli Price
>watching BTE
Cooper Price
So far none of the sets have felt like an A level production. I'd be down if they did something different but with the way they've designed the stages so far it just seems like a low level E
Chase Barnes
>spreading false narratives Really are a lot of shills FUDing AEW lately.
I did, as soon as it was live. >acting like they were gonna admit it was bad >say it's great >say they're going to book it long term >say they're going to give the librarians a Baron Corbin-like push It's obvious to anyone who understands irony that they know it's bad and they're going to do something about it.
Yeah it's weird they didn't do any build up at all. Even generic promos from Baker or Brandi announcing how significant it is for the TJWP and Stardom champs to be tagging
Justin Sullivan
>1,036 votes lol I guess no one gives a shit about either of them
Brandon Parker
>What're sample sizes? It's hilarious, what made WWE think this was a good idea?
Jayden Myers
whos is the most based person on the card in your opinion?
Lucha Bros are the only two I care to see the rest of these nobodies can rot in hell
Zachary Adams
Dustin Rhodes
Logan Hernandez
>Sonny Kiss vs The Librarian >Britt Baker & "Japanese Pro Wrestler" Riho vs TJPW Princess of Princesses Champion Shoko Nakajima & World of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley >Brandi Rhodes vs Allie Oof
Fans are gonna be so scared to boo Rose or Kiss in fear of being labeled, sad truth.
Carter Roberts

Sonny's athletic but none of his moves had any impact. Like female wrestlers, ironically
Lincoln Bailey

Anthony Walker
>watching the tranny match and mom walked by and rolled her eyes >now got a boner seeing yuka and worried mom will walk by again and think it's because of the tranny and not because yuka
Jace Allen
What an absolute unit
Daniel Jones

Luke Jones
lofi hiphop 24/7 draws more than that lmao
Gavin Mitchell
Defend what? Gay people are allowed to have fun and go over too, just use that time to shitpost like you do the women's matches after you cum
Not bad, a lot of folks watching on br live. A lot of social media engagement so I’m assuming it’s well over that
Leo Hughes
Wow what a boring fucking promo by cody
