    The 1994 Crow inspired Sting


    The 2024 Crow inspired by Darby Alllin




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Bruv is in the house.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,107 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Ah prefer a long haired crow not this new age version

    Ffs Ric Flair in a ring in 2024 is embarrassing. He's going too cost Sting isn't he

    Sting from the rafters was cool



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,030 ✭✭✭Officer999


    Such a bang of Succession off the Buck’s new theme.

    Also very nice of Sting to just watch Darby and Flair getting plummeted first before finally coming down from the rafters.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,229 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Bit of a whimper of a go home show except for the Sting stuff.

    Sting coming out of the rafters one last time, freaking awesome. TYB's EVP gimmick is really great.

    Get Ric Flair out of here though, looked shite and he adds nothing at this point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Tony said they are expanding the PPV’s to 9/10 a year he thinks 9 is perfect himself.

    AEW Dynasty is a POV set for April according to Fightful.

    MJF’s stable in MLW was called The Dynasty and Hammerstone & Holiday who were in that stable with MJF are both free agents.

    Greetings all again, Revolution card looking exciting!

    Hangman and Swerve just have that all time feud energy going into every match I've seen them in, its really helped make Swerve a star and give Hangers an edge that he definitely needed. (Seen shades of it in the punk feud but not enough). Loved his unhinged energy.

    Loved Stings final run with the company, really helped someone like Darby who really kills himself for every match.

    Kind of wish Jericho would take a break to go do Fozzy shite... battle royal looks decent though, hopefully the winner gets a decent run at a title.

    Also technically last week, but dahm that Wardlow promo. Been needing something like that since he beat MJF in 20 seconds. Really hope it helps make Wardlow a legit main eventer and give the UK some cred, hoping for a Roddie / Cassidy killer match to drive it home.

    And finally Bruvs debut! Legit best wrestler in the world in ring. Takeshita a potential star. Going to be whopper!


    Cheers lads - Karl

    How long will Stings retirement last esp if he stays on as darbys Mentor/manager

    Maybe come out with no face paint etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson




  • Registered Users Posts: 3,229 ✭✭✭ThePott


    As of today, Hammerstone is going to TNA. Could be a new version of his stable maybe.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,643 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Thought that was a really good read, buzzing even more for Revolution and the Stingers last match now.

    Long live Darby, Sting and AEW I say!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Great read.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭ConcertKing


    Obviously can't see it happening but I will absolutely love it if the Bucks beat Sting and Darby at Revolution!!!

    They could have Darby come out on dynamite, bucks attack Darby take him out indefinitely since isn't he doing some climb or extreme sports training. Bucks think because they're evps but Tony sends a message saying there will a tournament?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,381 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    For anyone old enough to remember, I was thinking maybe they could do with Toni Storm what they did with John Major in Spitting Image. Just have her wearing grey makeup and all to make it look like she's in black & white while having matches. Though it would come off during the match which wouldn't help.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Some card for tomorrow night




  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,618 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Very curious if they pull the trigger on Swerve now. Kind of feel if they don’t now, his reign wil, be super short, cause inevitably Osprey seems a lock for the Wembley show.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Yea I think if they dont have Swerve win now it will be a missed opportunity, gives him 5-6 month reign to drop the title to Osprey at Wembley. Also if they drag it out longer you run the chance of him loosing momentum, as much as I enjoy Joe as champ he doesn't need a super long reign imo.

    I wonder will WWE give AEW some footage of Sting from WCW and his time at WWE for a video package.

    AEW gave them footage for the Cody doc last year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Shida got married a few days ago to a Japanese baseball player who just signed a $700m 10 year contract with the LA Dodgers.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Since the World Championship match isn't main eventing the show should it open the PPV and give Swerve his moment at the start of the night.

    That gives Sting his moment at the close of the show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,381 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So they changed the Meat Madness match into an 8 man scramble match due to injuries but it still includes all 3 Meat Madness competitors? Strange. They could've found a better way to make the change without having to state someone was injured.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I've been trying to guess who will show up for Sting final match from his past other then Flair.

    Lex


    Muta


    Liger came out of retirement in Mexico at a CMLL show a few days ago

    Cactus Jack

    Goldberg 

    Vampiro





  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Overall another strong PPV last night, Osprey/Takeshita easily match of the night, not sure how I feel about the triple threat but the story is there the fact Hangman would rather tap out then Swerve win. Enjoying the new heel side of Hangman and definitely needed for him, will they finally have Swerve vs Joe for Dynasty?

    Main Event was all kinds of crazy but loved it, plenty of times where I thought the Bucks are gonna do it but delighted for Sting to finish off the way he did.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I was ok with the finish to the World Championship match this was Stings PPV anything else on it was going to be over shadowed by that.

    So best to leave a title change to another show and to be honest Joe deserves to hold it a bit longer has he really carrys himself and the compnay as a Champion.

    Delighted for Sting and Darby.

    Darby just doing Darby things so he will need time off now not just for Everest but to heal up his back that looked grotesque.

    If they want Darby can with pride now step down as a Champion for good reasons or retire those belts as he doesn;t want to hold them with anyone else and there can be a tag team Championship tournement to crown new Champions.

    A shout out to Stings sons donning the old Sting gimmicks.

    Ospreay and Takeshitsa was great and that was to be expected.

    Nice to see Kyle O'Reilly back and not just jumping straight back in with the Undisputed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Ok Darby isn't taking time off just yet he will face Jay White at Big Business was announed at the media scrum.

    Tag Championships are being vacated and there will be a tournment to crown new Champions.

    Tony said he has huge plans for Atlanta on Wednesday night.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,978 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I worry for Darby's body

    I got to give credit to Tony and AEW for how they managed Sting since he came in, for his age, he absolutely shone

    Mariah May was the bulb off Toni.

    What's up with Max these days? Has he done a full rap once since messing up a couple weeks ago? Think he messed up the first time, Jay put him off during the week and then last night he just messed up again. I think he's just in his own head about it too much now, expecting to mess up. And he doesn't look to be a fan of Jay either, especially after Jay had a dig at him.

    Anyway, good show overall. Will Bryan talk about Eddie on tv? Liked the Road Warriors gear on Mox and Claudio.

    Roddy as new champ. Not sure who I wanted to take the title from Orange.

    Wardlow to take on Joe at Big Business or Dynasty?

    Watching Jericho, I was wondering when he's going to feud with Toni Storm since we know he always seems to jump on whatever's popular. 😀



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    I think the whole Max rap issue is definately a storyline to slowly build before the Bang Bang Scissor Gang implodes.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Santana has finished up in AEW, always a pity they didnt win the tag titles before their relationship went south.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭Patrick Mahomes


    Reading there that Hangman might have to take a few months off for personal reasons. It is such a pity he has to do it for the second time. The first time when he was a red hot baby face just and on a great build to being world champion and now when he has turned full maniac heel.

    Whatever the reason fair play to him for knowing when to ask for time off and dealing with it.


    Regards,

    P.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,107 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    really enjoyed the main event and the Sting video package

    thank you Sting, went out the way he wanted and fully deserved



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Suppose that might make sense for the whole play on hangman to get suspended after attacking the refs

    seems he got some blame for the match continuing after Jeff got hurt. Concussion protocol wasn’t followed, and he shouldn’t have hit any further moves after the injury.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,236 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Two of the "pillars" have crumbled.

    Guevara is shìt anyway, and a twat. They'd lose nothing by releasing him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,456 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Sammy is bad luck for the Hardys. Didn't Matt get a concussion in a match with Sammy at All Out 2020 and the match continued. AEW really needs to up their game in regards to treating concussion injuries because it's not the first time this has happened.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,030 ✭✭✭Officer999


    Also in the lead up to that match, he threw a steel chair at Matt which busted him up badly in an unplanned spot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Okada debut day hopefully



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,229 ✭✭✭ThePott


    The Sammy thing and the concussion protocol is tricky without more details.

    Seems most are of the opinion that Sammy doing the GTH after Jeff was concussed.

    We don't know if breaking protocol was not immediately going for the roll-up. Or if breaking protocol was doing a move aimed at the head. Or if it was because Sammy ignored the ref's call to end the match.

    All that aside the ref should be empowered enough to just call for the bell and end the match.

    One thing is for sure though AEW definitely need to look at their concussion protocols in general, it seems to happen far too often and has rarely been properly handled.

    surely its up to the ref in the ring to notice something was amiss and call an audible there&then.

    i think its unfair to pin all the blame on the wrestler.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    I do agree that AEW refs need to really up their game on the whole concussion or serious injury spots, for example when Roddy got dropped on his neck after a botched Spanish fly the ref/doc jumped in and rightly so.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭brick tamland


    It was nuts that they originally claimed Jeff didn't suffer a concussion. The chap was falling over he was that out of it. You'd have to wonder who checked him and who allowed that statement to be released



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,006 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Coin drop tonight.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,277 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Followed by..,............ Jericho 👀👀👀
