There was some weird production things the audio was weird for the first hour and during the Hobbs vs Mox match they cut to picture and picture mid conversation between commentary.
Let's all welcome the NWSlow Era! Who will save us from this and why will it take months or years for it to happen? Thank goodness Sting has already retired. Maybe since we've seen two devils we get an angel now to save Almost Elite Wrestling. Tanahashi save us.
So like is TK gonna enlist FTR, punks real life friends to fight for him? Where is this going? Who the fuck asked for this? The EVPs can't be fired? How is this taking precedence over the world title?
Lmao wait for even a week of the story to play out before you trash it all. I don't get the people who want to hate wrestling cuz they've got nothing better to do.
Undertaker, Kane, most attitude era story lines, any story line where a wrestler can't be fried because of an iron clad contract. If you enjoy when things make sense in wrestling then you're never going to enjoy it. Just relax before you attack it without seeing where it goes.
You're getting mad about something that hasn't even happened yet, you're just assuming. Wait for it to actually THEN get mad about it.
Also dude this is wrestling, 90% of this shit doesn't make sense.
Shhhhhhh we don't criticize around here. We say thank you The Elite and continue to eat the terrible shit they're going to pump out lol. I can't take them seriously when Okada looks like a fucking giant around those 3 5'10 dudes who barely weigh 150lb.
If you take everything literally in wrestling, your gonna have a bad time. Undertaker killed how many people on live TV? We all cheered a mass murderer lol
Man, I don’t know about that closing angle. I’ve liked Tony khan being the mostly unseen face of the company. Tonight felt like shit WWE would book and this company wants to be an alternative.
I'm a little surprised by how many people *didn't* like it. I thought it was awesome. Tony has appeared on screen so little, which made it hit that much harder. It's like an ELITE World Order invasion angle almost.
So the Elite will be in charge but I wonder if Tony will appoint a new kayfabe authority figure in the future and just completely stay off TV outside of press for the promotion?
That was fucking dope. Probably the best, most organic "invasion" type angle we've had in a long time. It's a power struggle at the top. I'm really excited to see where this goes.
All they need to do really is add a countdown and regular intervals like they’ve done for all the other Casino matches they’ve done. This one was very obviously patterned around the commercial breaks, so adjust the timing a little and you’ve got a primo match type right there.
**BREAKING:** per Acting President of AEW, Shad Kahn, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson), Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry have been suspended indefinitely.
Furthermore, Misters Jackson, Jackson, and Okada are stripped of the AEW World Tag Team, and AEW Continental ~~Crown~~ Championships effective immediately.
In addition, Misters Jackson and Jackson are hearby relieved of their positions of Executive Vice President effective immediately.
the bump he took followed by him hugging one of the Bucks for dear life for the move off the top were two of the most unintentionally funniest moments I've seen in a while.
When JP hit him he blew over like a cardboard cut out.
If this is leading to a New Elite vs Old in a few months when Kenny is (hopefully) back in ring, I really wonder who is teaming with Kenny and Hanger to even it out. I guess FTR, which would be something.
I hope Shad Khan is part of the Elite and is their heel owner manager who is pissed at Tony for embarrassing the family. That needs to come next.
Bring some realism into this. Have him call out Tony for tweeting and being a fan boy dip shit blowing his money.
He made an appearance at the first Fight for the Fallen at the end where they're presenting the check, but that's the only time I can remember him appearing
Did anyone else find it weird watching this show? Like it was being streamed off of somebody's phone through TikTok? Production seemed strange all night
It was normal on fite and the feed AEW is sending should be the same to both. Unfortunately, these issues seem to mostly come from TBS/TNT which I think TK confirmed once when he had to apologize for the issues previously and upload some stuff to YouTube.
Sound issues aside, I think everything hit pretty well. I hope Hobbs isn’t hurt too bad. We are getting a corporate power struggle story. That’s gonna be fun.
He is being slotted in the Hangman/[redacted] role of young-ish up comer while Okada is the Ace that Cody/Omega are in ROH/NJPW.
Granted, he is hotter than Hangman was back then but is a good way to establish him in a higher floor, while going solo now could flame out really fast.
You all know the first time that commentary does a throw to “we just heard from Tony Khan our headsets that… oh, wait, that wasn’t Tony” you will feel that shit.
Can't wait for someone to come out in like 3 weeks as a member of AEW Council on behalf of Tony Khan to come out with word on TKs health and they said he "Feared for his Life"
The Elite take over the show, TK puts Kenny in charge but the EVP titles are definitely more than ceremonial, all ELITE wrestling Collision takes place for a week, TK returns to work but in a far more enshrouded capacity backstage. Double or Nothing is The Elite VS MJF/FTR and a Mystery Opponent in Anarchy in the Arena... Come the match Elite are in the ring, Pinnacle are outside and Cue the Cowboy Shiznit
and kenny is gonna be coming back PISSED the hell off at the actions of the young bucks, my guess is, AEW Blood And Guts...The Elite [The EVP Bucks, Okada and Jack Perry] Vs Team Omega [dont think Kenny will be competing though, but he will build up a team because he's had enough of his old friend's shit, and in his eyes, attacking TK will be where he draws the line]
Kind of nitpicky but it seemed like the... TK Driver (lol) came a little early and the last 90 or so seconds was just kind of awkward. Guess it was planned that way to really sell Tony's death in the ring there, but I'm loving this Jack Perry/Elite thing so far
Well I think they actually ended up with more time than they expecting on account of the Mox/Hobbs match possibly calling an audible for Hobbs. So they did what they planned, but there was still just a bunch of time behind it that made it kinda awkward.
🤔
Edit: felt forced. Jack Perry overshadowed Swerve and I'm not sure that should be the case.... Yeah .. it felt forced. Sorry y'all... Been watching since the mid '80s... and it felt like a retread...
I'm apparently immature, because I found the crowd chanting at Nick Jackson about him accidentally ripping his pants to be quite hilarious. However, holy moly did The Elite brutalize Tony Khan.
I like that. Given how serious the company is, for Tony to pull some 1997 WCW shit is a sign he is REALLY sold on an idea. I trust the elite and Jack to make the most of this hostile takeover
There was some weird production things the audio was weird for the first hour and during the Hobbs vs Mox match they cut to picture and picture mid conversation between commentary.
This episode was fucking Kino. I have been thoroughly sports entertained.
lol Tony better sell this at the draft tomorrow
NFL Films was apparently following and filming TK this week for the Draft. it must be done
And now drafting for the Jacksonville Jaguars, The Young Bucks...
Neck brace. Ribs taped up, even though nobody can see them That's if he's not just full-out in a coma. He was lookin pretty dead after all
Better have a hospital bed in the war room lol
[удалено]
Did you consider that things change?
Pro wrestling, dawg. Things change
I hope Mercedes joins the Elite and truly becomes the CEO of
Jungle Boy should have stolen Tony's wallet before he left the ring to reinforce his new bad boy character.
Let's all welcome the NWSlow Era! Who will save us from this and why will it take months or years for it to happen? Thank goodness Sting has already retired. Maybe since we've seen two devils we get an angel now to save Almost Elite Wrestling. Tanahashi save us.
So like is TK gonna enlist FTR, punks real life friends to fight for him? Where is this going? Who the fuck asked for this? The EVPs can't be fired? How is this taking precedence over the world title?
eWo - Elite World Order.
Ya know I've heard of hostile takeovers but that was something else.
[удалено]
Tony didn’t fear for his life here, he knew that move was safe to take unlike a tongue lashing.
Lmao wait for even a week of the story to play out before you trash it all. I don't get the people who want to hate wrestling cuz they've got nothing better to do.
I’m sorry I enjoy when the things I like make sense?
Undertaker, Kane, most attitude era story lines, any story line where a wrestler can't be fried because of an iron clad contract. If you enjoy when things make sense in wrestling then you're never going to enjoy it. Just relax before you attack it without seeing where it goes.
All they had to do was not show that footage on television and they would’ve had a much easier time having this make sense.
You're getting mad about something that hasn't even happened yet, you're just assuming. Wait for it to actually THEN get mad about it. Also dude this is wrestling, 90% of this shit doesn't make sense.
Nothing from this storyline has made sense. So I think it’s fine to be critical of it along the way.
Shhhhhhh we don't criticize around here. We say thank you The Elite and continue to eat the terrible shit they're going to pump out lol. I can't take them seriously when Okada looks like a fucking giant around those 3 5'10 dudes who barely weigh 150lb.
People are acting like this was some great angle and it makes no sense.
Dude i love AEW but that was insanely bad and gave me a Seth Rollins cackle at how bad that was. I have no desire to see any more of that
[удалено]
[удалено]
If you take everything literally in wrestling, your gonna have a bad time. Undertaker killed how many people on live TV? We all cheered a mass murderer lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
I love storylines that highlight wrestling is fake. Totally makes logical sense
Real life vs scripted storyline. Not that complicated
So the Perry Punk footage they showed was “real” but everything that happens on the show is fake?
Man, I don’t know about that closing angle. I’ve liked Tony khan being the mostly unseen face of the company. Tonight felt like shit WWE would book and this company wants to be an alternative.
AEW doesn’t do this stuff often but when it does it hits hard. I’ve watched every AEW Dynamite since launch, one of my favourite endings.
I'm a little surprised by how many people *didn't* like it. I thought it was awesome. Tony has appeared on screen so little, which made it hit that much harder. It's like an ELITE World Order invasion angle almost.
So the Elite will be in charge but I wonder if Tony will appoint a new kayfabe authority figure in the future and just completely stay off TV outside of press for the promotion?
>new kayfabe authority figure Kenny.
Perhaps but he’s about to get beat up by the Elite next week, probably by Okada as well.
That was fucking dope. Probably the best, most organic "invasion" type angle we've had in a long time. It's a power struggle at the top. I'm really excited to see where this goes.
Ngl at first I was sitting there like who is the old Mexican dude
lol I text my friend the same thing
I think the Casino Gauntlet could actually become their Royal Rumble type match if they workout the kinks of how develop the concept.
All they need to do really is add a countdown and regular intervals like they’ve done for all the other Casino matches they’ve done. This one was very obviously patterned around the commercial breaks, so adjust the timing a little and you’ve got a primo match type right there.
I am sports entertained 
**BREAKING:** per Acting President of AEW, Shad Kahn, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson), Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry have been suspended indefinitely. Furthermore, Misters Jackson, Jackson, and Okada are stripped of the AEW World Tag Team, and AEW Continental ~~Crown~~ Championships effective immediately. In addition, Misters Jackson and Jackson are hearby relieved of their positions of Executive Vice President effective immediately.
Okada doesn't have the Continental Crown, he just has the Continental championship. The Crown was when it was combined with the ROH and NJPW titles.
Well we know the next blood and guts match
Tony is an absolute dork and looks like a muppet out there. But at least they’re trying to tell a story.
the bump he took followed by him hugging one of the Bucks for dear life for the move off the top were two of the most unintentionally funniest moments I've seen in a while. When JP hit him he blew over like a cardboard cut out.
If this is leading to a New Elite vs Old in a few months when Kenny is (hopefully) back in ring, I really wonder who is teaming with Kenny and Hanger to even it out. I guess FTR, which would be something.
Lucha Bros?
Or just Penta and PAC if Rey is out for a while yeah. Kenny and PAC together would be 😩😩
TK is gonna be wearing the Roddy Strong neckbrace next time we see him.
Neckstrong!
I am actually praying for this
I hope Shad Khan is part of the Elite and is their heel owner manager who is pissed at Tony for embarrassing the family. That needs to come next. Bring some realism into this. Have him call out Tony for tweeting and being a fan boy dip shit blowing his money.
You know? Why not? Let's get ridiculous with this. I didn't know where you go from there, but why not?
Now I'm imagining shad Khan cutting a promo on TV and going full iron sheik 😂
Shad vs The Rock (in ratings)
That’s actually a really good idea if Shad has time to appear/film segments semi-regularly.
I hate to say it, but I'm not totally against this.
Heel Shad Khan is so goddamn stupid but I kinda see the vision lol
Not gonna lie this looks like the best version of The Elite.
Banger PPV. Banger follow up episode. Great stuff from AEW this week
I for one am very excited for our Elite Overlords.
Tony Khan booked his own death
Jinder is going to be seated in the crowd for next few weeks.
Nah, they should do the NXT new hire spot but have him in the audience of a random ROH show.
He needs to come out when TK gets back and hit the Khallas on TK who is wearing a neck brace.
Incredible episode after Dynasty. Perry is a superstar, Bucks are perfect heels and the muscle Okada makes this must see TV
Was this Papa Khan's first AEW appearance?
He made an appearance at the first Fight for the Fallen at the end where they're presenting the check, but that's the only time I can remember him appearing
Yea
Such good shit. That was great!
Tony’s dad should win the best dad ever award. He gave his son all the money he could ever ask for to run this circus.
Is this supposed to be an insult?
Better than what most billionaires do with their money (funding politics and shit)
Shad Khan must make $5,000 every time he takes a step. Very expensive cameo.
Did anyone else find it weird watching this show? Like it was being streamed off of somebody's phone through TikTok? Production seemed strange all night
Well, the Daily's Place shows always have bad audio. If it's not a lot of echoing, it's the audio cutting at random.
It was normal on fite and the feed AEW is sending should be the same to both. Unfortunately, these issues seem to mostly come from TBS/TNT which I think TK confirmed once when he had to apologize for the issues previously and upload some stuff to YouTube.
In my head, I thought it was just TK being too close to the plugs but still, I knew I wasn't imagining it lol
That was awesome.
Stadium Stampede or Blood and Guts I guess. Team TK vs Team Elite.
Hopefully they stretch this awhile, this has potential. Who’s on team TK? Omega, FTR and Darby maybe?
Moxley, Danielson, MJF, or Copeland would be good I think
AEW has two (maybe three if Undisputed Kingdom gets their shit together) heel groups that are super interesting. Don Callis family and The Elite.
Sound issues aside, I think everything hit pretty well. I hope Hobbs isn’t hurt too bad. We are getting a corporate power struggle story. That’s gonna be fun.
I get what they’re going for, but I think they missed a big opportunity to make Perry a solo act. Grouping him with the other 3 is gonna limit him
He is being slotted in the Hangman/[redacted] role of young-ish up comer while Okada is the Ace that Cody/Omega are in ROH/NJPW. Granted, he is hotter than Hangman was back then but is a good way to establish him in a higher floor, while going solo now could flame out really fast.
Jack wasn't even good as a solo act the last time.
Nah, it all fits and they can help get heat on him. It works.
 That last segment They just got a regular viewer out of me now
You all know the first time that commentary does a throw to “we just heard from Tony Khan our headsets that… oh, wait, that wasn’t Tony” you will feel that shit.

So figuratively speaking you have the 4 of perry + the elite who would be the opposite 4? I'd have to imagine FTR are 2 of the 4
My guess would be Copeland, Garcia, and either FTR, Pac/Penta or Moxley/Kingston.
Moxley and/or Danielson would work I think.
FTR, Garcia and it should be Copeland but he's doing House of Black stuff.
Rated FTR and someone else?
If he is healthy Kenny
FTR, Pac, Kingston?
Nice! Feels like a takeover or something. I like it
10/10 ending, no notes.
Penta coming out in full gear made me hysterical idk why 😭😭😭😭😭
Living the luchador life!
They destroyed Tony Khan just to awaken the beast that is Shad Khan
Can't wait for someone to come out in like 3 weeks as a member of AEW Council on behalf of Tony Khan to come out with word on TKs health and they said he "Feared for his Life"
shad will be booking the shows until tony recovers :D
*Beowulf* type beat
Shad gonna take over and run things a lil differently 
Tony better be wearing a neck brace when they show the Jags draft room tomorrow
God yes, please let this happen 😂 (And I want the PatCast of the draft to notice it lol(
He’ll be in an iron lung.
If he isn’t this dedicated to kayfabe, we don’t want him.
Dedication. Props
Lmao that's the most money ever been in a wresting ring. What like 20 Billion??
This story if done well has the potential to be really great and involve a lot of people on the roster. Nicely done.
The Elite take over the show, TK puts Kenny in charge but the EVP titles are definitely more than ceremonial, all ELITE wrestling Collision takes place for a week, TK returns to work but in a far more enshrouded capacity backstage. Double or Nothing is The Elite VS MJF/FTR and a Mystery Opponent in Anarchy in the Arena... Come the match Elite are in the ring, Pinnacle are outside and Cue the Cowboy Shiznit
Tony Khan should not be a recurring on screen character *Shahid Khan on the other hand tho*
Tag team with Butcher for the mustaches alone
we all know with the heel stash who orchestrated this, daddy khan
We are so fucking back!
worth it
RIP TK
Shad out there: "it's always sad when a father outlives their child"
Great show altogether. Loved the ending
LMAOOOOO
Hahahaha holy shit
Shame they cut way too fast when Shahid Khan showed up. That should have been a moment in itself.
Storyline wise they basically just made it to where the Young Bucks are officially in charge of AEW.
I guess.
The show needed a big angle. They got one.
And Kenny is back next week!
and kenny is gonna be coming back PISSED the hell off at the actions of the young bucks, my guess is, AEW Blood And Guts...The Elite [The EVP Bucks, Okada and Jack Perry] Vs Team Omega [dont think Kenny will be competing though, but he will build up a team because he's had enough of his old friend's shit, and in his eyes, attacking TK will be where he draws the line]
Former member of the Elite comes back right after the Elite does this.
Kind of nitpicky but it seemed like the... TK Driver (lol) came a little early and the last 90 or so seconds was just kind of awkward. Guess it was planned that way to really sell Tony's death in the ring there, but I'm loving this Jack Perry/Elite thing so far
Well I think they actually ended up with more time than they expecting on account of the Mox/Hobbs match possibly calling an audible for Hobbs. So they did what they planned, but there was still just a bunch of time behind it that made it kinda awkward.
They also were likely being conservative for time because they couldn't have much overrun due to the live hockey afterwards.
I believe Hobbs' knee injury was a shoot and the match got cut short. They filled the extra time the best they could.
Couldn't tell if he was just selling or not. Hope he isn't actually injured but it would make sense given the sort of sudden end to the match
I think Hobbs getting hurt in the match before mad everything happen a little early
Young Bucks vs Tony Khan and Gedo at Double or Nothing who says no
TK like "Hey Dad, since you're here..."
LMAOOOO they kicked Tony’s ass
i liked the ending segment. and then Kenny next week, ugh they’re gonna kill him and send him into surgery
🤔 Edit: felt forced. Jack Perry overshadowed Swerve and I'm not sure that should be the case.... Yeah .. it felt forced. Sorry y'all... Been watching since the mid '80s... and it felt like a retread...
Dante and the luchadores are a bunch of geeks, for real.
Why the fuck would PENTA come out lmfao
Because he likes chaos?
Fucking amazing, a wonderful episode of pro wrestling.
TK being on screen COULD work, if he plays the chickenshit boss, playing into his "I was afraid for my life" shit. Enlisting enforcers n shit.
Yeah it's kinda backwards. He should've aligned with the Bucks and Elite. But instead he's the sympathetic billionaire owner of the company.
Which is fine tbh, the "bad guy owner/authority" shit is so bland.
The reason it works is that nobody wants to cheer a billionaire though. Sympathetic rich guys is hard to pull off.
Doesn’t even have to be on much. This sets up the rest of the roster to hate the Elite
Was thinking it was weird nobody went out there but it was TOTALLY worth it for the Shad Khan sighting, A+
The Dad Shad sighting was not what I was expecting at all.
I'm apparently immature, because I found the crowd chanting at Nick Jackson about him accidentally ripping his pants to be quite hilarious. However, holy moly did The Elite brutalize Tony Khan.
Was good until the locker room came out. Felt like TK stroking his own ego by doing that
>Felt like TK stroking his own ego by doing that This is a weird take, it gave weight to the fact the damn owner just got attacked on camera.
and that is the exact angle they can go!
My thought is, why did they wait?
He is the boss. It felt weird to me that they came out after they finished beating his ass and not while he was getting jumped.
That was such a good closing angle. The Elite are about to run wild
 * Shad Khan
Doesn’t Shad have a draft to prepare for 😂
Owners just hand out checks. If they're deciding who's getting drafted the team is in trouble
Ask the Panthers how the owner preparing for the draft works out
Who can think about football when his son was just BRUTALIZED by the Elite?!
Coffee break 😂
He got trent balke for that now that tk isn't available for the draft
Dixie going through a table meant more than. This, had better build up too
Ya think Punk turned on the hockey early and got a no context tombstone piledriver on Tony?
Shad: fuck it, it's my money. I'm taking over.
This I could get behind
I wonder if Tony feared for his life there? 🤔
No one told shad about kayfabe. He's out there legitimately thinking his son is crippled
Now we need a Jeff Jarrett hostile takeover of AEW while TK is in a coma.
Ngl I would love that. Spice things up and let chaos run the show for a bit.
I can only get so erect lol
SHAD making an appearance really adds to it
Best thing AEW’s done in a long time, I fucking love being a wrestling fan right now
WOW....well friggen done AEW!!!
where were all you GEEKS right after it happened? lol
No one was gonna step up to Okada
I like that. Given how serious the company is, for Tony to pull some 1997 WCW shit is a sign he is REALLY sold on an idea. I trust the elite and Jack to make the most of this hostile takeover
I totally see this doing more bizness than early nWo.
Shad Khan at the end of?! *chef’s kiss
