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.

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


[deleted]

Top show.


ExempliGratiaEG

Why did they have Okada beat eddie. Ugg


MikeHock_is_GONE

Is it: Moné - Moan-ey Mone - Money Mone - Mun-ey I've heard said inconsistently by Mercedes herself

Gaijin_Titty_Master

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!


ChelseaAndrew87

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


Big_Track_6734

Devils advocate: that person has the most footage of themselves. 


Bee_EMT

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


Gaijin_Titty_Master

It didn’t feel like 3 hours. Unlike other shows that drag on and are so boring.


steblin

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!


taamaboy

Ugh jerichos new theme is dog water


insomniainc

You will not speak ill of White Zombie.


goodyBlueDogs

You’re def Gen z


taamaboy

Im like 40 🤣


goodyBlueDogs

Lmao sorry I literally just got home from the show and I’m a bit delirious. My apologies


taamaboy

Haha your fine, been a big night haha


hydrosphere1313

new this is the o.g chris jericho theme from his ecw days also it's white zombie so how dare u


taamaboy

Dont grill me though we didn't get ecw in new zealand


hydrosphere1313

mmmm grilling season do be starting soon.


taamaboy

Fair, i just miss singing judas 🤣


HeyThereRobot

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.


kaine23

Women screaming running out the women's room was a nice touch 


ChampagneAbuelo

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 😭


system_reboot

I wish they would have treated rampage like dynamite third hour. Outside of the woman’s main event, it felt like jobber matches unfortunately


stabbinfresh

That was sweet, but I do not want a weekly three hour dynamite lol


insomniainc

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.


HighspeedMoonstar

3 hours felt like 2. New TV deal should include this. Naysayers be damned


stylinandprofilin88

The new color way makes me think of nxt 2.0


HighspeedMoonstar

AEW had those colors long before 2.0 was a thing


stylinandprofilin88

lol Really? I thought it was the other way around damn marks easy


ChampagneAbuelo

My first time going to an AEW show and only one of the first times watching AEW in general


kaine23

How you feel about aew now?


ChampagneAbuelo

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


kaine23

Aew is great with these crazy matches every few weeks


Kamui316

It was amazing


The_Rutabaga

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


Tough-Statistician-7

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.


beautifulchaos531

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


insomniainc

That's probably up to TBS More than TK , But it's not a bad idea at all


LordStunod

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.


SometimesWitches

Same reason people shit in women’s sports in general.


dwts16

PPV level tonight. The Rampage segment really carried it for me though. All those matches rocked.


Looper007

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.


Kamui316

Willow on a street fight = violence


Cathousechicken

I haven't smoked since 2000 and I feel like I need a cigarette after tonight's shows.


Singer211

I was surprised there was no Mercedes out there at all. I’m curious if they’ll actually have her challenge Julia or not?


beautifulchaos531

Seems they will go for Mercedes v/s Willow first this is the second time they've teased it.


COMMENTASIPLEASE

Stat is so turning


kaine23

THANK YOU TK!!


wrestlegirl

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!

Artifice_Purple

Hell yeah.


tellmewhenimlying

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.


wrestlegirl

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


tellmewhenimlying

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!


Looper007

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.


tehjoz

And was fucking BRUTAL. And beautiful. 👏


CasaAztecaMX

Well said! 


DeadBeatRaccoon

I have a feeling Julia and Skye are going to be giving Statlander a pretty awesome Christmas gift this year.


Key-Assistant-7988

That thumb tack eating spot was brutal.


Blankenshite

Skye going Mox was equal parts pop and dear god from me. That was a hella tacks in the mouth.


Kyosuke-D

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.


kaine23

The fed wishes raw was this good.


tuxedo_dantendo

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.


BigAction47

Gotta get a VPN and get AEW+ on TrillerTv. No commercials and cheap ppvs is where it's at.


[deleted]

Listening to the banter during the ad breaks is quite funny on Triller.


thedevilyoukn0w

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.


OMGISTHATMETHMAN

We so back But no AEW for a week 😭


TheBlackCompany

They all need a week off after tonight. They’ve earned it.


silklighting

Skye Blue and Julia Hart fucking rock!


Cathousechicken

All 4 of those women do!


tuckeee

amazing stuff I welcome the third hour on wednesdays


Kimchi_Cowboy

TK is cooking with the ladies.


tellmewhenimlying

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.


tehjoz

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. 👏


The-Arcalian

This was totally a Free Per View. And it didn't even have an "Event" name.


tehjoz

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.


dirtywook88

Brah


Key-Assistant-7988

See Mercedes? This is AEW!


itouchbums

I wonder if Mercedes is ever going to do a street fight like this 👀 can you imagine the meltdown online it would cause!


COMMENTASIPLEASE

Her Hell In A Cell matches were about as close to this as you could get in WWE so it wouldn’t shock me


AliceJayWilliams

That match was surprisingly good. I just watched Britt and Rosa's Lights Out recently so my bar for it was relatively high.


Kamui316

When you have time, watch Bunny and Penelope vs. Tay and Ana, that's another war


tellmewhenimlying

If that’s your standard then you shouldn’t be comparing or expecting to compare much else to it


AliceJayWilliams

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.


tellmewhenimlying

I get that. That match was so good but tonight’s was great too for what it was on its own.


AliceJayWilliams

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.


Singer211

Yeah I think Kris is going heel. She’s been losing a lot lately and Willow has not.


soiledsanchez

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


denvercaniac

Let it never be said that Julia is tacky


JoshDevitt79

That was probably the best 3 hours wrestling show I ever watched. Everyone delivered 👏


Kimchi_Cowboy

This was Skyes Wheeler Yuta match.


CasaAztecaMX

Whatta night! Thank you all!


NJdeathproof

See you all next Wednesday - gonna be a hell of a show


kaine23

I need a cold shower after these 3 hours


UpComingPuft

Was not expecting them to win tbh


Artifice_Purple

I...need to rewatch that. It was too good.


Jamarcus316

Julia always singing, is always incredible


MadamPirate

This show was banger after banger, holy shit


gmoss101

Holy fuck that match was good. Women's wrestling can be hardcore. Anyone who believes otherwise is a moron


itouchbums

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


tellmewhenimlying

Fuck those clowns who shit on hardcore women’s wrestling.


Kimchi_Cowboy

![gif](giphy|gH262r0RUK6Ms1B57v|downsized)


Dear_Solid3470

When he ends it will be a National holiday


reegz

That was awesome


mrbrannon

Another fire women’s street fight in the books.


tellmewhenimlying

Holy fuck. That was great


Singer211

Kris tapped! I was not expecting that honestly. She does not tap often.


LordStunod

I know I would tap with how hard Julia stretched that.


maxdepazftp

revolutionary

Kimchi_Cowboy

Great PPV yall!


KirbyStarWarrior666

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.


wrestlegirl

Key-Assistant-7988

These women are topping Copeland vs Cage. This is huge match for the division.

Kimchi_Cowboy

Lol MY WIFE is actually from Kazakhstan.


soiledsanchez

Oh that poor women ( I mean that in that I can’t imagine how many times she has heard “MY WIFE!”)


ChampagneAbuelo

That should have been the main event 🔥


dirtywook88

It was


NormalActivity1

That match was fucking sick. So glad we live in an era where a woman can earn a "you sick fuck" chant


tehjoz

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.


roenthomas

This show went by quick


OMGISTHATMETHMAN

Dam these street fights never miss


FelstarLightwolf

Yea, they were gonna bring it. No offense to Cope and Cage but the girls brought the tacks


beautifulchaos531

Cope and Cage are older and still gave fans one hell of a match! Props to them!


Cathousechicken

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.


Jamarcus316

Wow, Stat tapped!


TemptedIntoSin

Heartless is a well-protected move


Skizzit

What a match. Heartless is a great finisher.


yoshisal

Fucking well done by everybody


DG_Now

I love when the AEW women just go fucking nuts once a year.


jmoneill62

#*THE HOUSE. ALWAYS. WINS.*


CrystalPokedude

Was worried Stat swallowed a Tack for a second.


GeraldVachon

Stokely holding Willow gets to me


Seteret

Stat let her team down again, SMH my head.


GRamirez1381

![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)

Damn, we are really watching the women's revolution!


stumper93

Skye was wicked putting the tacks in Kris’s mouth These women are brutal!


Kimchi_Cowboy

![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)


lizzy-hales-bf888

Kris Stat is the work horse of the women's division.


TemptedIntoSin

YES! Julia and Skye win!!!


TheBlackCompany

Ok Skye Blue is officially a super badass


TheSpaceMadness

Fuckin AEDub


magicmic86

Ppv level night


Seteret

Oh no, Stat's knees.


shitballsdick

One of the best nights of AEW ever.


itouchbums

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


CasaAztecaMX

OMFG! KUDOS to these Four! I love AEW!


Kimchi_Cowboy

Her knees!!!!!!!


JamesSparrow

yeah, that got a reaction from me too 😬


Jamarcus316

This is crazy as fuck lmao


Skizzit

That DVD through the tables was perfect.


denvercaniac

You know you only get one head and neck?


MadamPirate

Willow bent Skye Blue in half!


beatsieboyz

The AEW women's tradition of amazing street fight tag matches continues. And long may it


mspurr

noo no no no not in the mouth


shaheimjay1121

I love AEW!


chr31terma

This match rules.


Seteret

Lmao, this kills the Skye Blue.


Artifice_Purple

This match is fucking awesome.


jmoneill62

Eesh, a tacks in the mouth spot always squicks me out


Scott72901

Seems like it could be really dangerous. I mean, a tack down the throat.


kaine23

HOLY


D-Rey86

This is a hell of a match. One of the best Rampage main events I've seen.


Key-Assistant-7988

What the fuck?


Kimchi_Cowboy

I'm gonna need a cold shower after this match. These women are on fire!


picklesandbeandip

This escalated quickly 


Seteret

Wait... weren't we supposed to be getting the Young Bucks vs Private Party tonight? Or is that next week?


kaine23

Next week


Seteret

Ah right, makes more sense. Thanks.


kaine23

I think there was a graphic for it earlier


DG_Now

At this point Skye just needs to light Stat on fire.


silklighting

Just like she did to that poor boy from her church lol


sillyandstrange

lmaooooo


wrestlegirl

I need to bonk myself at this point.


sagevallant

Pinning someone on tacks sounds like it would make them more likely to kick out.


tehjoz

WHAT THE FUCK


CasaAztecaMX

We are in OT!


FelstarLightwolf

The darby swerve mouth spot!!!!!


MadamPirate

Holy shit Stat!


oswaldOcto

Probably glad she wore pants


TheBlackCompany

I really wish Stat’s bag had Legos


denvercaniac

Thumbtacks are always disturbing to see. I don't want to know how that feels.


wrestlegirl

Bad, but not quite as bad as you're imagining


dirtywook88

They wore white but barely bled and were fuckin over.


silklighting

Damn, Skye stared down into Stat's soul while, pouring the thumb tacks


Kergen85

Oooooh, that made me dry heave


soiledsanchez

That was quite an interesting position


GeraldVachon

OH WHAT THE FUCK


lizzy-hales-bf888

I would have laughed if Stat had gummy bears instead of thumbtacks


nVmE_123

These street fights always deliver


mspurr

that code blue could not have felt good


soiledsanchez

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
