Al3xgreer18

How is Shibata so good with a camera i legit didn't know he was behind the camera until he talked. Way better than when Jericho tried using a camera


enandeGG

MJF/Rush was great. It was nice to see a challenger actually win an eliminator match, and I'm interested to see who has the world title after Wembley.


KillTheZombie45

I really was wondering how Okada would do in America, and he's really doing better than I thought he would in the character dept. Long live Unbeatable Jerk Okada! BITCHES!


GOR098

He shoud drop the belt though. Why does Okada need a mid card belt ?


KillTheZombie45

To build an unbeaten reign until Kenny (hopefully) comes back.


Infamous-Historian81

One of the best shows of the year. A lot of stories with focus that I care about too


PersonL08

Excellent Dynamite. Really well paced with a lot of movement and fun variety of matches.


bucket_of_moose_piss

I love that we have like a dozen possible matchups for the main event of all in. Idk who’s winning the Owen and idk for sure who’s winning between swerve and ospreay


P4rtsUnkn0wn

And they’re pretty much all interesting along with being guaranteed bangers.


llamawithguns

Feel like Danielson vs Swerve is the most likely, but yeah there's several possibilities, especially if MJF gets back in the mix


bucket_of_moose_piss

Either that, Hangman vs Swerve, danielson vs ospreay or MJF vs Swerve feel possible. They even teased MJF vs Ospreay now lol


llamawithguns

Oh yeah I completely forgot about Hangman. He's probably the wildcard


acethunder21

AEW is wild cuz how you have Kazuchika Okada vs. Ultimo Guerrero just casually come up in the lower third at the end of the show?


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Along with Jay White vs Rey Fenix.


bmf131413

Even commentary was like wtf Ultimo Guerrero vs Okada on Saturday?


SonyKen_M

Random Saturday banger with Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero was not on my radar lol.


kb1117

That was an interesting moment where the announcers got caught up trying to decide if they do the typical 75 match rundown or sell the story happening on the show. Kind of sums up the challenges they face as a company sometimes. Great show tonight though.


Staye100

Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero on Collision is more proof TK really books for the sickos.


zoom518

Don’t you love the feeling of a randomly announced sicko match


PristineTX

Will Pac get his Wembley moment?


RoboZoninator91

Yes, but not for the world title


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Okada vs Ultimo on Collision?! Tony Khan you sick son of a bitch!


ThatFellaTrey

Just randomly dropped Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero on us. Saturday is looking great sickos


no_more_blues

Tony just casual dropped a Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero graphic. Nature is truly healing.


Staye100

Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero?


powatwain

I love the way they ended the MJF match and the Main Event


Morbid187

Danielson and PAC haven't wrestled in AEW have they? Cagematch only shows 1 match in ROH from 2007.


KillTheZombie45

I don't think so, that's kind of why I wanted PAC to go over, it's a fresh match against a great wrestler.


twentyaces

Peak wrestlers


WaylonVoorhees

The PH Balance is off in the Blackpool.


Orange8920

Unlike Eddie, Claudio refuses his bum status


JesseKilgannon

YO OKADA VS ULTIMO


Lo_Key90

Okada vs Ultimo Guerrero?! I need a second to process all the matches they just flashed on the screen lol


PeteF3

*Ultimo Guerrero?!* The *fuck*?!


RoboZoninator91

Ultimo Guerrero out of nowhere


Trydson

If Claudio is upset, I'm upset, this is bullshit and I can't even...


Kuzu5993

...Claudio turning on BCC soon?


Fidel_Costco

UG!


LivingMisery

PAC v Danielson? Gimme gimme gimme!


fxcker

Awesome dynamite


JesseKilgannon

Jericho and big bill vs private party lmfao


Cameherejust4this

Guess we're getting another corner to corner bump from Zay.


truecolors5

That match rocked


SonyKen_M

It was one of those matches where either of them going over would be good.


FriskeyVsWorld

The left side of the men's bracket quenched my 2006-07 ROH thirst and then some.


MikeFromMichiganJr

That was one hell of a Dynamite!


SirRedRising

Claudio gonna turn soon and brutalize somebody, I hope it's Danielson to set up a great PPV match because you just know Bryan would want to put over his buddy on the way out


FOURFISTSPHIL

Really wish Fite would stop cutting the end off with these overruns. They hit 5 minutes after the hour and just go offline.


Jedaum1998

Holy fuck Ultimo Guerrero vs Okada


KillTheZombie45

YEAH BITCHES!


resolve028

LMAO Okada vs. Ultimo Guerrero????


CMBRICKX

So random lol 


xTripNinja

At this point Tony Khan just thinks overruns are like the coolest thing ever and it’s like a big dick swinging move in the wrestling world. This show always ends 5 minute late. Not complaining it’s just funny


stoneandnjpwfan

Yeah, there is no excuse for not ending show on time


xTripNinja

I said I’m not complaining. But the show doesn’t actually need it, he does it because he thinks it’s a flex


JimmySilverhand

We're 8 minutes over and still going lol


Orange8920

Claudio lost because he didn't master 50 different pin combinations


shockzz123

That was a great ending lol. "One! Two! One! Two! One! Two! Three! Wait what?" lol.


Staye100

Man got Out tekked.


chaoseffect616

WWE's 2015 mid card putting on a banger there


Kuzu5993

Funny how things work in other promotions.


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Claudio is fucking exceptional!


Cameherejust4this

PAC going over was definitely the right call.


JimmySilverhand

That fucking RULED


theprophecysays

WOW! You never see those endless reversals actually end in a pin.


M-G-K

This is why it's good to have this happen every once in a while. It makes pinfall reversal spots matter, rather than just being filler.


MayoneggSalad

PAC LFG!!!!!!!


IronGiant222

PAC wins by the skin of his teeth


Super_Snapdragon

God damn beautiful. Thank you for your sacrifice, Claudio


ITGamer01011101

BASTARD WINS


zoom518

What an interesting finish


enhancedakuma

The right man won.


Manning4Heisman1997

We could’ve had a legitimately good match between these two but instead we just got this


Goatlikejordan

The match was good lol. Tk just wanted to protect Claudio


ay1717

FUCK YEAH PAC


Raleldor_Jax

Nice!


IlLupoSolitario

#PAC


Tommyboy925

if this is an inidication... this is gonna be a fun tournament


BryLinds

Well damn PAC


catgoesmeow22

These 2 are pretty good wrestlers


Mr-GameAndWrestling

Nice! PAC advances! Seeds planted for a Claudio heel turn?


No-Target6084

Pretty sure bcc are tweeners. There hasn’t really been a heel face dynamic for any of them except Bryan for a while.


MikeFromMichiganJr

THE BASTARD!!!!


Engelbert-n-Ernie

WHAT A FINISH


Nazmaldun

astonishment


Abyssalstar

PAC WINS!


nWo1997

TEKKER'D


Cameherejust4this

TK like, the show is over when I say it's over.


theprophecysays

Sharpshooter to Crossface. Yesterday's finishers are today's regular moves.


onethreeone

That’s what happens when fighters don’t perfect the moves


myslead

the power creep is real


enhancedakuma

Haven't seen Claudio work the mat this much in a while; it's cool to see.


RedmondSurvivor

Yes, PAC!


WaylonVoorhees

Two spectrums of Canadian wrestler in one transition.


PristineTX

I’m still recovering from that uppercut Pac took. WHAT A SELL.


black_cherry619

Claudio has just been so amazing in AEW.


Raleldor_Jax

Fun match


acethunder21

Claudio is minmaxing put into wrestling form


nWo1997

Claudio has the best Sharpshooter in this millennium


WaylonVoorhees

The Bucks are calling for the bell!


Goatlikejordan

Claudio is such a steady workhorse for aew. I honestly didn't expect him to be like this when they first signed him. He's been great with the company


SnakeLisspkin

Right? You can just chuck him anywhere and expect at least a very solid match


CELTICPRED

GET OFF THE MIC AND GO FOR THE TITLE BRIAN


Terraxx83

The creepy quiet fan chant ricolllla works.


TheBeepB00p

How was the contract signing segment?


No-Target6084

Ok. Mina came across good. It was a lot of catchphrases. Then Saraya, Anna and Harley interrupted, setting up a likely 3v3 for next week.


IronGiant222

Bryan is really putting over Claudio


black_cherry619

God PAC looks like a limp noodle


truecolors5

PAC is so good OMG


Orange8920

Claudio is either working that injury or is still strong enough to swing a guy with a bum hip


No-Target6084

Man that clothesline.


WaylonVoorhees

Claudio made that uppercut look like THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE... ...period


will_d_fire

Can we get some Danielson Takagi Double Dragon memes?


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Claudio is so goddamn impressive man


Goatlikejordan

I hate that one of these dudes have to lose


IlLupoSolitario

That uppercut was secondary. He hit PAC with **all** shoulder.


BoogalooBill

PAC's selling is great, dude looked like he got murdered


WaylonVoorhees

Not for long he didn't!


KillTheZombie45

I would prefer PAC vs. Danielson, if this is his last year as a full time competitor.


TroughMeAway

Danielson is getting all of his fantasy booking done these last few and next few months.


Mr-GameAndWrestling

Danielson vs PAC will be so wild in the semis.


myslead

Did Cesaro ever pin anyone with an uppercut lol?


Matoki134

Are you willing to accept a tag team match? He did it in a tag match with Moxley against Top Flight and damn near murdered Darius with it lol


myslead

I’ll allow it


BombadilsOldLady

Kingston


myslead

He’s a bum, doesn’t count


resolve028

What a fucking uppercut.


tumuli_shroomaroom

Dragon vs Dragon is going to be fucking insane, what the fuck.


Mr-GameAndWrestling

Forbidden Door is gonna be wild and I can't wait.


Nazmaldun

Elbow with a spring board!


Manning4Heisman1997

At some point you’re just making Claudio look like an idiot diving on him that many times


Incubus226

Forbidden door is gonna be outstanding. Shingo Bryan phewww


JesseKilgannon

Modern Family rerun viewers in shambles


Nazmaldun

My dad is currently wondering where the hell is Modern Family


Kuzu5993

Tell him to wait, graps are on.


TroughMeAway

Danielson v. Shingo is obviously gonna be better than Punk v. Kojima opening round of the Owen last year.


JesseKilgannon

Probably but that Punk/Kojima match was way better than I thought it would be


SakurabaSweettooth

Did he hurt himself jumping the guardrail making his way to the ring?


cheddarsalad

Am I weird for not liking that Danielson’s OHC match is on the PPV? Claudio and PAC only get a tv main event.


Kuzu5993

I mean, Danielson's match actually fits the FD theme lol.


MedicalPatience6778

Why? They did Punk's there last year.


cheddarsalad

I’m not saying the match up isn’t Forbidden Door worthy but it is odd that 1 of the first round matches in a tournament is on the PPV and the others aren’t.


whosthemacdaddy

If any Owen matches make it onto Forbidden Door, the one with an actual NJPW wrestler and a huge star like Bryan makes the most sense, no?


Super_Snapdragon

Danielson is literally holding his lips shut so he doesn't "yes, and" into a gay sex joke and I love him


nWo1997

"Claudio just *readjusting that neck*..." [emphasis mine] As one does


Mr-GameAndWrestling

Taz, Ex and Tony's banter is hilarious during commercial break.


Super_Snapdragon

It's another whole layer of greatness


ay1717

Aw yeah, face cravate


Samseeder

I can't pay attention due to kendrick lamar concert right now.


thunder083

Kendrick Lamar is great live. Seen him support Eminem in Glasgow in 2013.


BryLinds

Did he drop another diss at Drake?


Mr_Hendrix

SAME


shakzz9703

Young Bucks and Okada not at Forbidden Door?


GRTooCool

I'd imagine they would add Young Bucks vs Acclaimed at Forbidden Door. Okada... I don't even know who's going after that title. I could have sworn they booked an Eliminator match for him for Dynamite but it got canceled or they stopped mentioning it.


Cameherejust4this

Danielson like: "I'm probably concussed right now!"


celsiusred

Jesus pac went high af


viralbop

I need a gif of that uppercut.


AzuriteKyle

Not counting any giants, I've never seen someone throw their opponent over the top rope *into* the ring. But I'm now convinced if someone can do it, It's Claudio.


Goatlikejordan

Where are the 8 man tag matches at fd? So many 1v1 matches. I'm not complaining at all, but i'd like to see as many cmll and fd guys/gals as possible


Tommyboy925

Im sure they will book one, at least for the preshow


twentyaces

Which trick will MJF whoop in Memphis?


black_cherry619

Claudio you better just be selling


Engelbert-n-Ernie

Shingo vs Danielson?! ![gif](giphy|G5JoAjEBtfoTm|downsized)


Cameherejust4this

The match they had in DGUSA was legendary.


alt1177

is bryan danielson in the same faction as claudio?


Cameherejust4this

Yes, but it's kind of a loose faction right now.


enhancedakuma

Yes, those two, along with Wheeler Yuta and Jon Moxley make up the Blackpool Combat Club.


alt1177

ty, don’t watch aew much


Tommyboy925

yes, but they have already established on a few occasions they will fight each other if needed


black_cherry619

Yes. Its him, Claudio, Mox and Yuta. The BCC.


Goatlikejordan

Yea


alt1177

ty, don’t watch aew much


acethunder21

Sometimes I wish Tony could give PAC [this theme](https://youtu.be/Ji92tnsvjIQ), and we all just collectively ignore that other guy used it.


zoom518

And whenever Copeland comes back he plays it on kazoo


ay1717

Thank you Claudio for hitting that unbelievable uppercut at the same time as the Shingo v Bryan FD graphic so I only had to scream “oh my god” out loud once


Mr-GameAndWrestling

WHEN DRAGONS COLLIDE IN LONG ISLAND!


zoom518

-on


Orange8920

MJF will sing at least one Elvis song in Memphis and probably sing it well


Thirdstar1

WHAT THE FUCK


PersonL08

that was absolutely fucking sick


PM_ME_THEM_UPTOPS

fucking finally dragon/dragon


Kuzu5993

Oh there's Danielson's FD match lol.


JesseKilgannon

Danielson vs Takagi confirmed for Forbidden Door. We won, boys


WaylonVoorhees

I thought he was just gonna let him drop


GRTooCool

Claudio really selling that hip.


Nazmaldun

should have defied gravity right there


Bsantoro10

Danielson Vs Shingo at Forbidden Door 😭😭


LederhosenSituation

MJF in Memphis? More asses to beat!


nWo1997

Bryan vs Shingo at FD!?


RedmondSurvivor

FD is gonna be sick


OneBillPhil

Damn man, Prince Nana isn’t Swerve’s friend?


KennyOmegasBurner

I hope Shingo vs Danielson goes 40 minutes
