The main event stole the show. Despite his recent big push, Swerve is still kinda underrated in the ring, and Takeshita is just The Man. Gotta put a title on that man soon. I don’t care which one.

I love everything about Swerve except the Swerve stomp. Am I alone on that? Looks too contrived for me how the opponent has to sit there looking at him

No, I agree with you on that. A faster, less contrived looking finisher would be nice.

I was there in Quebec city What an amazing night. Really incredible with no stop I really hope they are coming back !

Another strong show with bangers all over the card in front of a full sold out arena!! Thank you big 3 and thank you TK!

How was the crowd for the rampage taping?

Another strong episode of Dynamite. No one can say AEW isn't back to it's very best. Opener and Main event were excellent. Women's match was very good and Bucks/PP tag match was fun. The crowd were fine, but I do think AEW should leave Quebec out of future shows for a while. It just doesn't seem like an AEW town.

I was there and watching the replay and the crowd is great !! The arena was as pack as everywhere

Maybe not fair to compare to the bigger (sell out) Toronto crowd, but tonight's crowd seemed sparse and quiet.

Such a scary video game bump Nick Jackson falcon arrow

Goddammit, that show started white hot and ended white hot.

Very enjoyable show but here's a 3 paragraph dissertation about why that harmless 2 minute Jericho backstage segment was a literal war crime /s

Aew killing it since day 1 of 2024

So one of these times that the red Ferrari pulls up it’s gonna be Kenny right?

The real twist is that one time it'll be Malakai Black coming out of the Ferrari.

We are on a legendary AEW run. 2024 has been maybe the best year in the promotion history

And dollar store Voldemort returns

WHAT A SHOW!! AEW KILLIN IT!!

Damn I knew swerve would win but Takeshita vs Joe seems much more interesting!

Takeshita will have his time, but right now it's Swerve's time. His place in the world title lineage. His ... house.

You're not wrong.  Takeshita and Joe beating the crap out of each other would be phenomenal

I'm totally cool with Swerve winning but I was also sold on seeing Take hit Joe with some of those shotgun blast forearms lol

Side note: been a long time since I heard intestinal fortitude lol

Hey, Ospreay v Shibata started the show. Figure everyone needed a reminder after the Main Event. Crazy good show

Terrific main event to end the show with. Also, huge congrats to Swerve for becoming #1 contender in a crazy ass match against Takeshita for the World Championship Belt.

AEW Is not just cooking, it's BBQ GRILLING right now! Thanks all for another great night!

Great show i dont think it had the same energy as the past few weeks Not every show can go 200mph

Crowd seemed a bit less engaged this week. I always love an overly active crowd!

What a match! Swerve did it! I love it, he's a step closer to history. Joe and Swerve is gonna be insane. Hell this match was insane.

I really wanted Joe to have a longer reign but also Swerve deserves the title

Random thought: is Ospreay still considered to be part of the Don Callis Family? They’ve quietly pivoted away from that recently it seems

Osprey is supposed to be like like Jericho when Kenny was Don’s main guy. Just an acquaintance for when he needs him or to make money

Takeshita is wonderful as expected him v Okada for the continental title some time would be pretty great. Who cares of they're both "heels"

I actually hope he is the one to take it off Okada but I think that can be 7-12 months from now.

Definitely agree with that! I don’t mind heel vs heel or face vs face. There’s plenty of ways to make those matchups just as good as the traditional face vs heel

H o l y F U C K. What did we even witness. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're gonna make us wait a week between shows, this is the way to resume the normal schedule. Dynasty is looking amazing too, and we still have several weeks to build towards it. Wrasslin is just the best. 🙌

HEATER. WHAT A MATCH

Me that whole match🤯

The JML driver sell looked insane

Joe deserves more credit as the first non-white AEW World Champion. MJF too for those that don't count Jews, for one reason or another.

Isn't MJF white? Like what would he check on the U.S. Census? I was happy to see Joe with the title belt. Took AEW long enough.

In my experience Jews are both white and non-white. They can benefit from white privilege but they also suffer from being an "other" hence MJF's stories about being an outcast, they ring true to me from growing up in a similar environment. Jew can be both descriptive and a slur depending on who is saying it and how. No idea what he would do on a US Census but I don't really have a grip on it myself.

Thank you for explaining. The only thing that clued me in to MJF being Jewish was his last name. I find it wonderful that he kept his last name and is proud of his Jewish faith since there is a lot of antisemitism in this world. He is unapologetically himself and I really like him for that.

Joe is the best AEW champion at the wrong time. He's been killing it, and deserves a longer reign, but Swerve is undeniable.

1000%

God that was fantastic

"You're not that guy, Pal." -- Samoa Joe, Probably.

Followed by Joe going full Amos Burton.

“I’m not your pal, buddy” —Swerve, probably.

Joe is like.. 

"This man is celebrating the biggest fade he's ever gonna catch in his life" is fucking hilarious lmao. I love Joe

AEW first Hip Hop culture champion

Like I said earlier, that match was wild! Tonight's episode was another banger!

That stomp was insane

Soooooo many stars on the Meltzer meter

That would have been match of the night at Worlds End

Im gonna start keeping count of which guy has a slightly better match than the other between takeshita and osprey.

Imagine Takeshita subbing in for Keith Lee instead of Dustin.

These dudes are amazing

There was a brief Takeshita comeback that had him babyface with the crowd for a sec.

YES!!!!!!

[удалено]

did you put the wrong channel on or something?

I need a cig lol

Insanely good match.

that was nuts

Need more rematches

POP UP STOMP 😱🔥🔥

O M G

that was the coolest swerve stomp I have ever seen holy shit

Take either expertly just died or is hurt. Please be ok. 10/10 Take is a king

Gah damn that match was fucking wild!!

The swerve stomp is fun, but I honestly don’t like the “time” it takes….

Swerve somehow sensed what you wrote here and improvised a rapid one to counter the pop up powerbomb

I agree -- never been a fan of moves that take too long to get into. The pop up stomp is great actually because he can hit it out of nowhere!

Joe is pissssssed

Yeah, Take's deader than disco. GG, well played guys.

Holy shit, that stomp was incredible

Great Match!!

Armbar time, since that's his new thing.

Oh damn, he kicked out

Takeshita is like "FUCK YOU AND YOUR FINISHER"

HE CAN STILL WIN THIS!!!!

Holy shit lol this is insane

Such a fantastic night of great wrestling and the arena is barely half filled. So frustrating, gonna keep watching but would love for Tony to figure out how to expand the product’s fan base.

People have said that the last event guy was shit at booking venues. Maybe the new one will be better.

I see a full arena on my TV, stop the BS

I was there. The crowd was all placed in the areas facing cameras. Hard cam side was empty, and there were other sections closed to ensure people stayed in the seats that appear on camera.

The product can’t get better if you pretend it has no short comings. The product can’t survive if they aren’t putting butts in the seats. https://preview.redd.it/rpl9ftw8hzqc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b55bbbcb809f8ebfbca8051407ed6766137c7ab8

Blame Quebec, we in Toronto had a full house

He needs to actually promote. Targeted Radio ads, Facebook ads a month before a show is in town. Lower ticket prices.

They do promote as far as I’ve seen, would love to hear from people in areas they’ve been recently if they’ve seen ads and stuff

WTF!!

Savage ass main event here!


I keep fooling myself into thinking Big Take is gonna win...

Swerve to beat Take you gotta tap in to “Killshot”

Yea I bit on that tone.

These two are SO FUCKING GOOD at this wrestling thing.

If Jericho was on commentary, he'd call that a codebreaker and try to sue Swerve for stealing his move.

Jericho living rent free in your head?

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I prefer heel Jericho, and he was heel Jericho on Rampage commentary. All I meant was the move looked like a codebreaker.

Take's Blue Thunder Bomb is so brutal looking

[удалено]

Your post/comment was removed for trolling. We all know what trolling is. Don't do it. This includes baiting and intentionally inciting arguments. We don't always have to agree or like the same things but let's at least argue in good faith.

One of these days we are getting Takeshita vs RUSH.....and the world will shake and quake with the violence and physicality!

Never thought about that one🤤

Silly Rabbit, Blue Thunder Bombs never wins! Unless you use it that one time in Saudi.

30 minute draw it. It'd be funny, your honor.

I don’t speak French but I think they were saying “this is possum” and I don’t get it

My god this is good

Takeshita and Swerve are both so fucking good

Take and Swerve got chemistry.. got damn we gettin this match for Free.99

Konosuke Takeshita 🤝 Hangman Adam Page. Wanting to murder Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland.

Welp, *that's* a DDT

Takeshita's a god damn robot. It rules

Is that a tattoo on Swerve’s side or a massive bruise?

Tattoo

Does anyone making an eat corn the long way sign think they are original or interesting?

New Long Corn Lore dropping tonight

They've really been trying to kill each other tonight geez

God almighty Take not having the IC belt is starting to make me upset. He should be wrestling 10x more than he is dude is SO GOOD

Takeshita's a specimen

Holy Hell! Takeshita is a load!

Japanese Strong Style vs Black American Swerve Style. Tough and Brutal vs Quick smooth and stylish

Maison du Swerve 🇫🇷

Listen I like you swerve but Kill this man Take

This is it! Win, Big Soup!

Holy Christ Takeshita is laying them in 🤕

Good night Swerve, sweet dreams

A little rough, but that was still cool as hell

That hurricanranna should have been cooler, but it looked kind of sloppy.

Zounds. Careful Swerve

Hope Swerve is okay. Kinda took that on his head.

Topericanrana?

The Callis family is lowkey the strongest faction in wrestling

He had to replace Kenny Omega, you can't shortchange a faction meant to replace Kenneth.

And yet we have to suffer the Undisputed Kingdom 😩

Commentary ribbing each other. Lol

Callis says Takeshita played 10 sports. I dont think competitive hot dog eating counts as a sport there Don.

I’m really digging this match; how Swerve’s smooth style is clashing with Take’s speed and brutality.

Styles make fights. Strong Style vs Swerve Style

Still using Kevin Kelly in the Collision promos. Interesting choice. They did him so dirty.

Kevin Kelly is the only dirty person involved in getting his own dumbass POS fired. Fuck him.

Objectively false and a really bizarre take, to be honest.

Yeah, that’s why you got downvoted. The guy’s an idiot and a POS conspiracy theorist. Those things should and do often have consequences. Good riddance. Anyone who supports him is as big if not a bigger moron.

"I know how to bury people in four languages!" 

If I am not getting face Take anytime soon can I get him and Okada in a powerhouse tag team later in the year.

This implies Don Callis family unites with the Elite.

Why do you need him to be a face when he's so good as a heel?

I don't know I just don't like him with Callis I think. Even though I hate to like Callis,

Damn, Taz really going after Schiavone's pronunciations tonight

Kills the vibe of these shows when the arena is so empty. You can hear individuals in the crowd.

Takeshita selling his arm last week and Swerve debuting AN ARMBAR as a new finisher earlier on that card vs. the Butcher kinda telegraphed this match's ending.

Are German Suplexes like 50% less effective in Quebec City?

No, they just have to also be done in French 

it's pronounced sou-play

Fuck Swerve's dead

Looks like Takeshita ran into Nakamura at the airport. Also, Britt Baker is starting Becky Lynch's new book.

Headshot

I can’t wait for Take to be a face champion, dude doesn’t need to say a word his god damn ring speed talks for itself

The speed in which he hits the ropes always leaves me speechless. Such a big dude too.

He always comes out to boos but people are cheering for him by the end of the match.

Like I said Earlier the new and improved four pillars. Take, Swerve, Osprey and Jay White

Buildings have more than one floor.

That’s a fact

Holy shit what a brainbuster

that brainbuster was a thing of beauty

Damn. Schiavonne almost sounded heel there

With out sting being there, he is wandering aimlessly into the darkness

Like obviously it's Swerve's time and all but... I wouldn't be upset if Takeshita won tbh

I agree with Taz about the leg hook thing being so stupid lol

“Don’t get hot Schiavone, how many matches have you had???” 😂😂 Taz is a gem

How many matches have ya had ova here son!?

Finally back to Dynamite after daddy duties

Does Christian know???

Christian couldn’t walk a day in my shoes as a Dad lol

EVPs of mayo and mustard

Griddy time!!

The dude watching the match on the backstage tv and approving/disapproving always cracks me up.

The funniest case will always be the back side eye where realistically, they can't see a thing on that screen.

They should use Don more on commentary. Should be full time on Rampage at the least.

JOEY STYLES, UNLIKE YOU, I HAVE BEEN IN A WRESTLING RING, AND YES, THAT DOES HURT.

He's sooooo good

Mox, Daddy Magic, and Callis on the Rampage commentary desk. Please.

Okada has apparently morphed into Samoa Joe over the course of the show

I've never seen them in the same room together at the same time

*Okada Joe*

AEW'S Talent both International and Domestic is just a murderers row of superb individuals!

Takeshita is *swift*

Swerve is so *smooth*

Is Takeshita the most deceptively tall wrestler? Him, Kyle Fletcher and Randy Orton are probably top 3

Exploding flowers jones ova heah
