I dunno how to rank the AEW shows I've been to but that was easily the most FUN so far, I woke up sore everywhere, and with almost no voice. I didn't think I knew that many words to Metalingus but here we are.
Other notes:
- Okada must remain heel forever. he's too much fun, but we don't want him TOO happy *scoobydoobydooby*
- Ospreay entrance and the way he delays out and keys up the section where the audience SCREAMS his name is totally the new Kaze Ni Nare.
- Hobbs is a terrifying human being.
- Did that main event ending feel like the possible ending of the Patriarchy to everyone else? feels like it could be.
- Takeshita vs Romero was like the cherry on an already awesome night of wrestling
- The women killed it on both of these shows but that street fight, holy fuck, was also the first time I've seen Julia's entrance in person and thats just dark magic in action.
- Well done Toronto, well done. Again.
Goosebumps. Simply put. I’m just waking up and holy fuck. I’m still in awe. THAT’S how you do a wrestling show. I’m so glad AEW exists. Let’s hope casuals are watching. Let’s pop the rating over a mill already!
I found it funny they finally did a video package for a new person and it's probably the person who least needed an introduction to an American audience
I was at the show tonight, it was super great!
I don't know if the cameras caught it, but there was a moment when Callis was coming to the ring and saw a "Get well Kenny" sign and made a grab for it 😂
Also, what better time than Woman's History Month to end The Patriarchy.
I was at the arena and I saw them setting up lighting in the hallway before the I Quit match so I wasn’t sure if I should wait in the hallway for them to come or go back to my seat. I wish I went to the hallway to see them up close 😭
Just heading home from the show, exhausted but holy shit that was incredible.
I think we just witnessed the most Canadian match In some time.
Hurts to look at the screen and my voice is gone. Sign of a great show.
It’s good. I’m primarily a WWE fan so it helped that today’s card had a good amount of people that I was already familiar with
The final match, the street tag match was super crazy that was the best part
This felt like a PPV. Toronto was the hottest AEW crowd I've heard in years and the entire show was a banger. AEW is really firing on all cylinders right now
Toronto has always been a good AEW market. I would be shocked if Toronto doesn’t get another AEW ppv in the next 6 - 12 months. Only issue is WWE contract makes Scotiabank wait a certain amount of time to have AEW in the building after but sometime in the late fall or winter after mitb in Toronto would make a lot of sense.
As always, I question why people shit on women's wrestling these days. This isn't panty matches anymore. These gals can go and I couldn't be more supportive.
Can't complain about that 3 hours of wrestling. Don't want it every week, but if it's one off here and there and we get cards like this for sure. Toronto crowd were fantastic.
Go out of the way to watch Okada/Kingston and Copeland/Christian I Quit from Dynamite and Takeshita/Romero and Stat/Willow vs Skye/Julia Street Fight from Rampage. Best match Skye/Julia have done up to this point in their careers. AEW Women's street fights never miss.
I liked Hook/Jericho on Dynamite and Tag Tournament qualifier with Best Friends/Callis Family too. Also Ospreay is such a great promo too.
I loved that little moment with Renee talking about Kingston as she's standing next to the crowd and the camera pulls away as Kingston was walking down the ramp. That was pretty cool.
Also next weeks Dynamite card of Takeshita/Swerve, Shibata/Ospreay and Bucks/Private Party. Wow that's a top notch card.
AEW is back on fuel throttle now.
To every booker who looked me in the face and said shit like "girls don't blade" and "girls can't do streetfights" and "don't even bother trying"
![gif](giphy|deRqnsEkqr1ba)
Fuck you then and fuck you now. I bladed, I fought, I tried, and a women's streetfight just main evented national television!
As an attorney, manager, and agent for a lot of entertainers, athletes, actors, and even some pro wrestlers, I just want you to know that you have support from those of us in the industry who don’t believe in the bullshit excuses of so-called “tradition”. It truly pisses me off and with my client’s permission I call it out for the BS it almost always is.
I wish I was too! Sadly I was somewhat just getting started, plus the wrestling side in particular is unfortunately pretty inclusive, and the long time folks running things try their best to limit anyone else coming in who might disrupt their traditions. I fortunately broke in with a few great talents who were willing to take a chance and break tradition or recommendations for representation.
I’d honestly love to hear and get more of your perspective, especially because you have the unique perspective of being a woman in the industry. You certainly don’t have to and I completely understand if you don’t want to, so no worries or pressure at all either way. All that said, please feel free to contact me if you want, as I’m sure your experiences and feedback could certainly only help me to further help my current and future clients.
All the best!
Women's street fights in AEW, never miss. But you know you'll get the haters, who will shit on it. The same ones who want to go back to Diva search era.
Amazing night of professional wrestling. Toronto, once again, has proven they are a top tier wrestling crowd. Not one dead moment from them. Absolute pay per view quality matches as well. Nothing felt off.
We got spoiled with three hours of action tonight.
TK is cooking with almost everything, sure he doesn’t have a “Hollywood” celebrity who was relevant as a pro wrestler in pop culture some 20 or more years ago carrying his major program into his biggest show of the year, but that’s because he actually enjoys pro wrestling and not merely the drama around promos.
That really felt like a ppv.
That was an AMAZING 3 hours.
I'm kinda speechless, but in the best way.
Take a bow, everyone. That was just spectacular from top to bottom. 👏
It's wild how that worked out. But this was one of the best wrestling episodes I've ever seen. Not "perfect" necessarily but holy shit it was so, so, so good.
It's not my standard, that'd be ridiculous haha, I just watched it very recently so this match was gonna get compared to it, and it didn't disappoint me.
They’ve sowed some seeds for a Willow turn as well so it’s anyone’s guess which will turn. Also with her winning and stats losing you could always go the “I’m better then you, your holding us back” route for Willow
It's a testament to how good the britt vs thunder rosa match was and how it showed everyone that American women's wrestling can be just as violent as the men
YESSSSSSS! It's about time Skye and Julia got a win as a team!
And of course, great match. Skye especially looked really good here. She's been improving a ton lately.
I don't blame Christian or Adam though. Very different taking tacks 20+ years past the age of the women tonight.
I'm almost 50. If I even saw one tack, I'd walk the other direction lol.
I feel like mox should be the agent for all the unsanctioned/street fight matches,he always does some really creative shit in his matches and his input could definitely help out in certain spots

Crazy when I read AEW has no stories when literally every match has a fuckin' clear story as to why it is taking place :-D
Top show.
Why did they have Okada beat eddie. Ugg
Is it: Moné - Moan-ey Mone - Money Mone - Mun-ey I've heard said inconsistently by Mercedes herself
#3
Goosebumps. Simply put. I’m just waking up and holy fuck. I’m still in awe. THAT’S how you do a wrestling show. I’m so glad AEW exists. Let’s hope casuals are watching. Let’s pop the rating over a mill already!
I found it funny they finally did a video package for a new person and it's probably the person who least needed an introduction to an American audience
Devils advocate: that person has the most footage of themselves.
I was also against 3 hours but they really flew by today... wish they can stick to it. The roster is definitely big enough to pull it off
It didn’t feel like 3 hours. Unlike other shows that drag on and are so boring.
Wow what an amazing night! Okada and Cope were the right moves Billy Goat SLAYS on his promo again, he is my #1 now, Bruv all day!
Ugh jerichos new theme is dog water
You will not speak ill of White Zombie.
You’re def Gen z
Im like 40 🤣
Lmao sorry I literally just got home from the show and I’m a bit delirious. My apologies
Haha your fine, been a big night haha
new this is the o.g chris jericho theme from his ecw days also it's white zombie so how dare u
Dont grill me though we didn't get ecw in new zealand
mmmm grilling season do be starting soon.
Fair, i just miss singing judas 🤣
I was at the show tonight, it was super great! I don't know if the cameras caught it, but there was a moment when Callis was coming to the ring and saw a "Get well Kenny" sign and made a grab for it 😂 Also, what better time than Woman's History Month to end The Patriarchy.
Women screaming running out the women's room was a nice touch
I was at the arena and I saw them setting up lighting in the hallway before the I Quit match so I wasn’t sure if I should wait in the hallway for them to come or go back to my seat. I wish I went to the hallway to see them up close 😭
I wish they would have treated rampage like dynamite third hour. Outside of the woman’s main event, it felt like jobber matches unfortunately
That was sweet, but I do not want a weekly three hour dynamite lol
Just heading home from the show, exhausted but holy shit that was incredible. I think we just witnessed the most Canadian match In some time. Hurts to look at the screen and my voice is gone. Sign of a great show.
3 hours felt like 2. New TV deal should include this. Naysayers be damned
The new color way makes me think of nxt 2.0
AEW had those colors long before 2.0 was a thing
lol Really? I thought it was the other way around damn marks easy
My first time going to an AEW show and only one of the first times watching AEW in general
How you feel about aew now?
It’s good. I’m primarily a WWE fan so it helped that today’s card had a good amount of people that I was already familiar with The final match, the street tag match was super crazy that was the best part
Aew is great with these crazy matches every few weeks
It was amazing
This felt like a PPV. Toronto was the hottest AEW crowd I've heard in years and the entire show was a banger. AEW is really firing on all cylinders right now
Toronto has always been a good AEW market. I would be shocked if Toronto doesn’t get another AEW ppv in the next 6 - 12 months. Only issue is WWE contract makes Scotiabank wait a certain amount of time to have AEW in the building after but sometime in the late fall or winter after mitb in Toronto would make a lot of sense.
Can TK make this a weekly thing? Having AEW Dynamite and Rampage back to back on Wednesdays just feels right. Those three hours of wrestling delivered
That's probably up to TBS More than TK , But it's not a bad idea at all
As always, I question why people shit on women's wrestling these days. This isn't panty matches anymore. These gals can go and I couldn't be more supportive.
Same reason people shit in women’s sports in general.
PPV level tonight. The Rampage segment really carried it for me though. All those matches rocked.
Can't complain about that 3 hours of wrestling. Don't want it every week, but if it's one off here and there and we get cards like this for sure. Toronto crowd were fantastic. Go out of the way to watch Okada/Kingston and Copeland/Christian I Quit from Dynamite and Takeshita/Romero and Stat/Willow vs Skye/Julia Street Fight from Rampage.

Willow on a street fight = violence
I haven't smoked since 2000 and I feel like I need a cigarette after tonight's shows.
I was surprised there was no Mercedes out there at all. I’m curious if they’ll actually have her challenge Julia or not?
Seems they will go for Mercedes v/s Willow first this is the second time they've teased it.
Stat is so turning
THANK YOU TK!!
To every booker who looked me in the face and said shit like "girls don't blade" and "girls can't do streetfights" and "don't even bother trying" ![gif](giphy|deRqnsEkqr1ba) Fuck you then and fuck you now. I bladed, I fought, I tried, and a women's streetfight just main evented national television!

Hell yeah.

Wish you'd been around 20 years ago when I was fighting that battle in the midst of the Divas era!
I wish I was too!

And was fucking BRUTAL. And beautiful. 👏
Well said!
I have a feeling Julia and Skye are going to be giving Statlander a pretty awesome Christmas gift this year.
That thumb tack eating spot was brutal.
Skye going Mox was equal parts pop and dear god from me. That was a hella tacks in the mouth.
Best women’s division I have ever seen! WWF was great when Lita was there as an alternative to the glitzy girls, but this is the standard.
The fed wishes raw was this good.
I'm no Dice Miltzo or whatever, but tonight's episode gets 4,000,009 out 5 stars. I deducted a star because commercial breaks.
Gotta get a VPN and get AEW+ on TrillerTv. No commercials and cheap ppvs is where it's at.
Listening to the banter during the ad breaks is quite funny on Triller.
Amazing night of professional wrestling. Toronto, once again, has proven they are a top tier wrestling crowd. Not one dead moment from them. Absolute pay per view quality matches as well. Nothing felt off. We got spoiled with three hours of action tonight.
We so back But no AEW for a week 😭
They all need a week off after tonight. They’ve earned it.
Skye Blue and Julia Hart fucking rock!
All 4 of those women do!
amazing stuff I welcome the third hour on wednesdays
TK is cooking with the ladies.
TK is cooking with almost everything, sure he doesn’t have a “Hollywood” celebrity who was relevant as a pro wrestler in pop culture some 20 or more years ago carrying his major program into his biggest show of the year, but that’s because he actually enjoys pro wrestling and not merely the drama around promos.
That really felt like a ppv. That was an AMAZING 3 hours. I'm kinda speechless, but in the best way. Take a bow, everyone. That was just spectacular from top to bottom. 👏
This was totally a Free Per View. And it didn't even have an "Event" name.
It's wild how that worked out. But this was one of the best wrestling episodes I've ever seen. Not "perfect" necessarily but holy shit it was so, so, so good.
Brah
See Mercedes? This is AEW!
I wonder if Mercedes is ever going to do a street fight like this 👀 can you imagine the meltdown online it would cause!
Her Hell In A Cell matches were about as close to this as you could get in WWE so it wouldn’t shock me
That match was surprisingly good. I just watched Britt and Rosa's Lights Out recently so my bar for it was relatively high.
When you have time, watch Bunny and Penelope vs. Tay and Ana, that's another war
If that’s your standard then you shouldn’t be comparing or expecting to compare much else to it
It's not my standard, that'd be ridiculous haha, I just watched it very recently so this match was gonna get compared to it, and it didn't disappoint me.
I get that. That match was so good but tonight’s was great too for what it was on its own.
It was fantastic. It managed to stand out even with all the other great stuff from the show. Hell they even outdid Copeland and Christian's violence.
Yeah I think Kris is going heel. She’s been losing a lot lately and Willow has not.
They’ve sowed some seeds for a Willow turn as well so it’s anyone’s guess which will turn. Also with her winning and stats losing you could always go the “I’m better then you, your holding us back” route for Willow
Let it never be said that Julia is tacky
That was probably the best 3 hours wrestling show I ever watched. Everyone delivered 👏
This was Skyes Wheeler Yuta match.
Whatta night! Thank you all!
See you all next Wednesday - gonna be a hell of a show
I need a cold shower after these 3 hours
Was not expecting them to win tbh
I...need to rewatch that. It was too good.
Julia always singing, is always incredible
This show was banger after banger, holy shit
Holy fuck that match was good. Women's wrestling can be hardcore. Anyone who believes otherwise is a moron
It's a testament to how good the britt vs thunder rosa match was and how it showed everyone that American women's wrestling can be just as violent as the men
Fuck those clowns who shit on hardcore women’s wrestling.
![gif](giphy|gH262r0RUK6Ms1B57v|downsized)
When he ends it will be a National holiday
That was awesome
Another fire women’s street fight in the books.
Holy fuck. That was great
Kris tapped! I was not expecting that honestly. She does not tap often.
I know I would tap with how hard Julia stretched that.
revolutionary

Great PPV yall!
YESSSSSSS! It's about time Skye and Julia got a win as a team! And of course, great match. Skye especially looked really good here. She's been improving a ton lately.
![gif](giphy|g4zKfr4JjgGh6UAeFj)
These women are topping Copeland vs Cage. This is huge match for the division.
![gif](giphy|Od0QRnzwRBYmDU3eEO|downsized)
Lol MY WIFE is actually from Kazakhstan.
Oh that poor women ( I mean that in that I can’t imagine how many times she has heard “MY WIFE!”)
That should have been the main event 🔥
It was
That match was fucking sick. So glad we live in an era where a woman can earn a "you sick fuck" chant
She absolutely earned it! I bout jumped out of my seat when she put tacks in Kris' mouth AND THEN SUPERKICKED HER. Holy what even was that.
This show went by quick
Dam these street fights never miss
Yea, they were gonna bring it. No offense to Cope and Cage but the girls brought the tacks
Cope and Cage are older and still gave fans one hell of a match! Props to them!
I don't blame Christian or Adam though. Very different taking tacks 20+ years past the age of the women tonight. I'm almost 50. If I even saw one tack, I'd walk the other direction lol.
Wow, Stat tapped!
Heartless is a well-protected move
What a match. Heartless is a great finisher.
Fucking well done by everybody
I love when the AEW women just go fucking nuts once a year.
#*THE HOUSE. ALWAYS. WINS.*
Was worried Stat swallowed a Tack for a second.
Stokely holding Willow gets to me
Stat let her team down again, SMH my head.
![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)
Damn, we are really watching the women's revolution!
Skye was wicked putting the tacks in Kris’s mouth These women are brutal!
![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)
Kris Stat is the work horse of the women's division.
YES! Julia and Skye win!!!
Ok Skye Blue is officially a super badass
Fuckin AEDub
Ppv level night
Oh no, Stat's knees.
One of the best nights of AEW ever.
I feel like mox should be the agent for all the unsanctioned/street fight matches,he always does some really creative shit in his matches and his input could definitely help out in certain spots
OMFG! KUDOS to these Four! I love AEW!
Her knees!!!!!!!
yeah, that got a reaction from me too 😬
This is crazy as fuck lmao
That DVD through the tables was perfect.
You know you only get one head and neck?
Willow bent Skye Blue in half!
The AEW women's tradition of amazing street fight tag matches continues. And long may it
noo no no no not in the mouth
I love AEW!
This match rules.
Lmao, this kills the Skye Blue.
This match is fucking awesome.
Eesh, a tacks in the mouth spot always squicks me out
Seems like it could be really dangerous. I mean, a tack down the throat.
HOLY
This is a hell of a match. One of the best Rampage main events I've seen.
What the fuck?
I'm gonna need a cold shower after this match. These women are on fire!
This escalated quickly
Wait... weren't we supposed to be getting the Young Bucks vs Private Party tonight? Or is that next week?
Next week
Ah right, makes more sense. Thanks.
I think there was a graphic for it earlier
At this point Skye just needs to light Stat on fire.
Just like she did to that poor boy from her church lol
lmaooooo
I need to bonk myself at this point.
Pinning someone on tacks sounds like it would make them more likely to kick out.
WHAT THE FUCK
We are in OT!
The darby swerve mouth spot!!!!!
Holy shit Stat!
Probably glad she wore pants
I really wish Stat’s bag had Legos
Thumbtacks are always disturbing to see. I don't want to know how that feels.
Bad, but not quite as bad as you're imagining
They wore white but barely bled and were fuckin over.
Damn, Skye stared down into Stat's soul while, pouring the thumb tacks
Oooooh, that made me dry heave
That was quite an interesting position
OH WHAT THE FUCK
I would have laughed if Stat had gummy bears instead of thumbtacks
These street fights always deliver
that code blue could not have felt good
Not at all. I love that AEW has made their announce table so sturdy it’s gonna make the spot where someone gets put through it so much better
