    Two of the "pillars" have crumbled.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Here comes the Rainmaker and he is a heel that’s Awesome.

    Knew Okada was turning when he walked out in the suit but looking forward to this version. Hopefully this builds to omega (once healthy)vs Okada.

    Again heel bucks are killing it

    Had a tough choice to either pick aew or the scratch (irish band) on the 20th here in Toronto but went for the scratch although Copeland vs Christian will have a great atmosphere.

    Ospreay is only there a week and has two matches of the year contenders.

    Fletcher just had the America match that will make him.

    Oh yes yes yes

    Maybe I'm not as familiar with him but was the crowd reaction poor for Okada with TYB? Was he expected to debut as a heel?

    I thought the initial pop was fairly strong but doubt anyone really thought he'd debut as a heel. I know it was probably a small enough crowd but they were loud for most of the show, agreed the main event was insane. Wonder what they will do with Osprey and the DC family since Osprey is clearly a face right now, but the thoughts of Osprey vs Danielson will be a banger.

    Fletcher/Ospreay was unbelievable, two match of the year contenders from Will in the last few days now.

    I love heel Okada with the Elite, great stuff. He definitely made the right choice signing with AEW!

    That was a brilliant show, and felt properly like Episode 1 of a new season.


    The Okada stuff was great. The crossed handshake, and the goomber smile. Corporate Okada will be a fun heel, and when you look at how stacked the main event face side of things is (Swerve and Osprey especially), they needed a strong heel for that top of the card too. Having him go over fan favorite Kingston will be a great way to build heat too.


    Danielson vs Osprey will be match of the year, easily.

    Greetings all! Just some thoughts about Revolution!

    • Great Card overall, think there was definitely a slump in the middle, sadly both the women's and international title matches suffered cause of it...
    • Will Osperay and Takeshita was feckin whopper. Both lads are stars and Will is destined to be champion soon at this point.
    • Danielson and Kingston beating the **** out of each other
    • Kyle O'Reilly is back! Hope his neck is healed, great addition to the roster and feels like a new signing with how long he's been out. Hopefully gives the Kingdom some kind of help cause I think people aren't completely sold on them at all...
    • Darby actually killing himself. Dont know how he does it but that man has the falling physics of a crash test dummy. Fair **** to him.
    • STING.

    Cheers lads! - Karl

    Tokyo Sports reports that Okada's contract with AEW is a three-year deal worth an estimated $13.5 million. If accurate, that means Okada would be making roughly $4.5 million a year in AEW
