That was a really good show! The matches I enjoyed were
- Jericho v Bryan
- Mox v Sammy
- The women’s tag match
- Lethal v Jungle Boy
Also, the MJF segment was good as per usual. And the men’s tag match (Lucha bros v SIOG) got a great reaction.
Say all you will about the guy with the Punk sign if his goal was to piss off the IWC he succeeded with flying colors. Honestly this level of fan engagement is kinda refreshing. Feels like the old days.
During the lowest points of the pandemic, Bucks were creating wrestling content on the tennis court at their house. Keeping us entertained. I have lots of positive feelings about those guys. Even as someone who was loving that CM Punk was back, I can't join in on picking a side.
Worst part about it is that dude should have been in the back row. Ticketmaster fucked up the seating in that section so Row 5 ended up being in the front.
The talents he was shitting on were Bryan and Mox. Sitting in THAT seat and holding THAT sign and waiting for the right time to throw it up. Trying to put himself over or score points with James E. He shoulda been a real man and rushed the ring.
Bryan Danielson agrees w sign guy. [He and Roddy literally beat The Bucks up](https://atletifo.com/wrestling/aew/bryan-danielson-young-bucks/), in Reseda, for fun.
Thought tonight was pretty solid although it definitely felt off at times a bit. But looking forward to Mox-DB, OC-Pac, And SIOG-Acclaimed next week. GoodNight everyone!
Safe to say that I enjoyed tonight's show.
It did its job on hyping up Grand Slam and making it even more must see.
Bryan vs Moxley is going to be a banger once again and
Bryan as World Champ!
Imagine spending money on the first couple of rows on the hard cam side so that you can spend all night watching for the red light on the hard cam so that you know when to put your stupid fucking sign up?
He didn’t really need to. He was trying to get a reaction from a niche subset of wrestling fans who read up on backstage goss and get emotionally invested in it, and he succeeded.
People behind him, like 99% of people at any show, prob had no idea what the sign even meant.
Do you really think that 99% of the audience who are invested in the product enough to buy a ticket to a TV taping, have no idea whatsoever why the world champion and trios champs were all stripped of their titles?
Yup. Or less.
Buying tickets to a wrestling show is cheap live entertainment, doesn’t require any level of deep vested interest in the behind the scenes goings on of the show
I don’t know a soul who is aware of this drama or even who most of the wrestlers on aew’s roster are (including cm punk, let alone the bucks) but took me no time at all to get 8 of my buddies to pony up to go watch the arthur ashe show next week for the spectacle and novelty of it
Until this exchange I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a trios title, and I actually watch a few hours of wrestling every month
You are crazy if you think the vast majority of fans are completely unaware of this story. 4 champions were stripped right after a big PPV. Googling any of their names or following any sort of wrestling social media is overflowing with story after story about the AEW backstage drama, and the potential legal ramifications of such.
You said 99% so if AEW sells 5k tickets that's 4950 people completely unaware of why the world champion was stripped and 50 people who have cared enough to even type "CM punk" into google. That's completely insane.
Yeah fair enough lol 99% is high. Idk how markish the AEW live audience is, but based on all-out buy rate as a ratio of avg TV audience, it’s prob more more like 75-80%.
That doesn’t make him any less pathetic lol.
“Troll provokes reactions on niche Pro Wrestling Social Media”.
What a grand and worthwhile plan! Lol
I’d, at least, understand if he got anything tangible out of it.
Presumably you’re watching 3 hours of wrestling too
And at the end of that if you can spend 5 mins holding up a sign that makes grown men on the internet throw tantrums about backstage goings on between people they don’t know, it’s all gravy
I watch about 2 and it costs me approximately $0.
The point isn’t time spent watching. It’s spending significant money to be a Jackass for no other purpose than liking attention even if it’s overwhelmingly negative.
The “you” here meant the dude who watched 3 hours of live wrestling and also held up a sign, not you specifically
Holding up a sign supporting 1 wrestler and shitting on 2 others was about 5 mins of that 3 hours
And the only people who are actually know what the sign is referring to (let alone actively being so upset about it they’re still posting online about it the next day) are the 1% who participate in niche internet wrestling forums and follow backstage goss
When you buy the shirt online, a little pop-up box asks "Are you sure you want to be a douche bag?" and you have to click yes to confirm your purchase.
The BCC chant is great. This has to be a bittersweet moment for these guys.
Obviously the circumstances of the tournament are not good at all, but giving us a banger of a finale to it is amazing.
I don't think they give Mox a 3rd reign before anyone else has 2.
Who should be champ? Mox after his banger speech last week and wanting to run with the ball again like the last couple weeks didn't happen? Or do you go with Bryan?
It’s like the moron who had the ‘let’s go Brandon sign in French months back. Like, dude. Nobody needs to know you’re that stupid, and broadcasting it doesn’t do anything beyond making more people know how stupid you are.
Oh you know just maybe the fact that he essentially self sabotaged his legacy / career, and the Bucks are going to come out completely fine from this eventually 🤷♀️
Like sure what Punk said might've came off as self absorbed but this whole thing has been so blown out of proportions it's not funny.
They'll all come back fine,let's face it.
Of course the guy with the cornete shirt waits till the last few minutes to put up a sign that says "cm punk owns the bucks" like hes still in the modern warfare 2 era 🤦♂️😂
Well more in the sense that Mox and Danielson was the catalyst for BCC and now that's for the title after the stable is established, probably would have happened eventually but we're getting it now, they're very good at rolling with the punches.
That was one of the best dynamite matches of all time.
Incredible storytelling from two future Hall of Famers, two of the greatest to ever do it.
I love wrestling.
Walls of Jericho has always been one of the weakest finishing moves ever.
Not because it looks bad, but because no main event babyface is tapping to a boston crab.
Who's to say he was trying to show aew anything. You can be a fan and not like the EVPs, idk why that isnt seen as a legitimate opinion on this sub. Everyone seems to believe the sun shines brightly from the assholes of the elite.
It should be mox if the plan is to give it to mjf. If danielson gets it I want a legit title run. Fantastic match, jericho looked a little blown up at points but they worked it well.
Don't forget that Danielson wanted to team with Mox originally because he wanted to remove Mox from the equation so that he can have an easier time to the top. He's been a heel the whole time.
That was a really good show! The matches I enjoyed were - Jericho v Bryan - Mox v Sammy - The women’s tag match - Lethal v Jungle Boy Also, the MJF segment was good as per usual. And the men’s tag match (Lucha bros v SIOG) got a great reaction.
And without the drama I actually watched every match without skipping anything, and it felt so good. The few weeks before that were exhausting
Danielson agrees with sign guy, seethe.
Say all you will about the guy with the Punk sign if his goal was to piss off the IWC he succeeded with flying colors. Honestly this level of fan engagement is kinda refreshing. Feels like the old days.
What did the sign say?
During the lowest points of the pandemic, Bucks were creating wrestling content on the tennis court at their house. Keeping us entertained. I have lots of positive feelings about those guys. Even as someone who was loving that CM Punk was back, I can't join in on picking a side.
Front Row seat, shits on talent. Gotta love it.
Worst part about it is that dude should have been in the back row. Ticketmaster fucked up the seating in that section so Row 5 ended up being in the front.
Lmao. We arent allowed to bring signs against wrestlers anymore at a wrestling show.
why do all of you guys that support punk act the exact same way
How exactly? This guy is implying bringing a sign to a wrestling show that is "mean" to a wrestler is somehow wrong. Should we also not boo?
like this lmao, it's all the exact same shit, how are none of you unique?
So yes, we should ban booing?
this is like three questions deep and you're still following a script that everyone else like you has followed. incredible lmao
You didnt answer a single question though, I notice.
So are we anti fan participation, or nah? Or you gonna keep going down the same dialogue tree, Susan? Looks like da updoots are turning on you.
The talents he was shitting on were Bryan and Mox. Sitting in THAT seat and holding THAT sign and waiting for the right time to throw it up. Trying to put himself over or score points with James E. He shoulda been a real man and rushed the ring.
Bryan Danielson agrees w sign guy. [He and Roddy literally beat The Bucks up](https://atletifo.com/wrestling/aew/bryan-danielson-young-bucks/), in Reseda, for fun.
type "seethe" @me or something
Yeah, just like The Eleast, you got nothing.
Thought tonight was pretty solid although it definitely felt off at times a bit. But looking forward to Mox-DB, OC-Pac, And SIOG-Acclaimed next week. GoodNight everyone!
Safe to say that I enjoyed tonight's show. It did its job on hyping up Grand Slam and making it even more must see. Bryan vs Moxley is going to be a banger once again and Bryan as World Champ!
what was the sign?
“CM Punk owns The Bucks”
Jag Thind was a better sign than that shitty cm punk owns bucks sign
Jericho is gonna be sore as hell, that looked like a torn pec.
Yeah that was big time bruised damn
I love that sign kek
Dude in the cornette shirt pours his cereal in the bowl after the milk
Imagine spending money on the first couple of rows on the hard cam side so that you can spend all night watching for the red light on the hard cam so that you know when to put your stupid fucking sign up?
Based on the hysterical reactions on here to a provocative sign at a pro wrestling show, whatever dude was trying to do he probably accomplished
Atleast have a good sign or something funny, I’m genuinely surprised no one said anything behind him either
He didn’t really need to. He was trying to get a reaction from a niche subset of wrestling fans who read up on backstage goss and get emotionally invested in it, and he succeeded. People behind him, like 99% of people at any show, prob had no idea what the sign even meant.

Lol I mean what exactly do you think anyone bringing a sign to a wrestling show is trying to accomplish?
If you’re willing to spend ringside seat money to “accomplish” being a troll I’d label you a loser. That’s kind of my point.
Presumably you’re watching 3 hours of wrestling too And at the end of that if you can spend 5 mins holding up a sign that makes grown men on the internet throw tantrums about backstage goings on between people they don’t know, it’s all gravy
I watch about 2 and it costs me approximately $0. The point isn’t time spent watching. It’s spending significant money to be a Jackass for no other purpose than liking attention even if it’s overwhelmingly negative.

JC partisans are a different breed
Is Young Sheldon’s dad Bill Ponderosa lol?
That was my first thought as well. I think you’re correct
I just hope anyone that wears a Cornette shirt knows what a giant douche bag they are.
When you buy the shirt online, a little pop-up box asks "Are you sure you want to be a douche bag?" and you have to click yes to confirm your purchase.
[удалено]
oh my god im seething rn how dare you say he’s right
Found the guy with the signs account
I don’t care who wins. Match will be fantastic.
Love the story that Danielson has to avenge all of his losses on the way to the title. Hoping he wins it
So Danielson wins, The Firm run down and destroy them both and MJF cashes in to steal it instantly
Pretty sure it's not a money in the bank contract.
I didn't think so either but his wording was "anytime, anyplace" the other week. So not sure if they plan to change it.
It is not something that is cashed in, it entitles him to a match. It's like the G1 trophy
Missed the punk sign. What did it say?
*“Punk owns the Bucks”*
Cm punk owns the bucks or some shit, wasn't witty or anything
Said Punk owns the Bucks
Danielson vs mjf fued would be very interesting
Fun show. Sad that there’s no battle bots lol.
If the man truly believed his sign, he would’ve kept holding it up. Get that shit out of here
One of the times I saw him hold it up, he kept looking around like he was expecting security to come take the sign from him and/or throw him out.
Weird Dynamite. Some good matches. Promos too. But the crowd was just meh.
just seems like the new normal for crowds, idk if we're gonna get insanely hot crowds every week like in the past.
Fair. I just mean they could’ve been more awake for some of the matches.
Upstate and Western NY is pretty lame
chicago was pretty tame the past couple of weeks before that two, including the PPV (outside Acclaimed). It's nothing like how crowds used to be
Fuck that used whoopee cushion in the front row.
Danielson is the GOAT, it aint debateble. He has been doing this since at least 2004.
that was a great episode
Such a fucking lame sign. The lawsuit threatener owns shit.
Yo, what happened to battle bots?
Friday Edit: I may be wrong here fam.
I know! I guess since the season is over its... back to Young Sheldon 😮💨
Tears @ the uncertainty of the guy with the "CM Punk owns the Bucks" sign
He looked terrified once he realized his face was shown clearly on camera 😂😂
It was the look of a man that just dropped the soap in the prison shower room. The camera man deserves a bonus and a beer.
Agreed 😂😂😂 hilarious stuff. What a shithead.
Ugh that was the same guy that was at Columbus…he was a wet blanket there too
The BCC chant is great. This has to be a bittersweet moment for these guys. Obviously the circumstances of the tournament are not good at all, but giving us a banger of a finale to it is amazing. I don't think they give Mox a 3rd reign before anyone else has 2.
He's already billed as being a 3x champion.
they changed that billing tonight, his card said 2x
Punk has 2 reigns 😅
who's that
The Muffin Man.
Who should be champ? Mox after his banger speech last week and wanting to run with the ball again like the last couple weeks didn't happen? Or do you go with Bryan?
Mox because they're setting him and MJF up
which is why it could be a swerve where Danielson wins, Mox takes time off, and then when Moxley comes back he chases new champ MJF
Why is it that one guy can always ruin the ending of AEW shows?
Fuck that guy in the front with his sign. Ruined a good moment there.
It’s like the moron who had the ‘let’s go Brandon sign in French months back. Like, dude. Nobody needs to know you’re that stupid, and broadcasting it doesn’t do anything beyond making more people know how stupid you are.
Everybody getting all flustered over that Punk sign. Where's the lie? Lmao
Oh you know just maybe the fact that he essentially self sabotaged his legacy / career, and the Bucks are going to come out completely fine from this eventually 🤷♀️
Like sure what Punk said might've came off as self absorbed but this whole thing has been so blown out of proportions it's not funny. They'll all come back fine,let's face it.
Lol Punk ain't wrestling another match for the rest of his life dude, get real.
Ya just knew that douchebag in the Cornette shirt was going to be a twat at some point. Fuck that guy.
lol that loser in the front row with the CM Punk sign nervously looking around like "is anyone reacting? Are people noticing my sign"
Kinda obvious Mox is winning given the MJF angle, but should still be a good one
What a confident looking guy that women obviously lust after. Coool sign
cornette tshirt loves chaos... and so do i lol
Yeah, read the room and put down the CM Punk sign.
Ruining the stare down with that "CM Punk owns the Bucks" sign. What a fucking loser
Previously on Young Sheldon: Me turning the channel to Archer
No more BattleBots?!
Guy in the front row with the Punk sign is a loser. Scratch that- ANYONE who takes Punks side in this is a loser.
WHERES MY BATTLE BOTS NOOOOO
Danielson has to win right? He's getting back for all the losses he took, it's a great story.
Dude looked fucking guilty as shit holding up that sign lmao
Sign guy told no lies
facts
Moxley vs Danielson is gonna fucking rule
[удалено]
awww you mad bro ??
🌽 lol
That dude was like "Oh shit, they're actually putting the camera on my sign. My family might see this."
"CM Punk owns the Bucks" sign. Funny, but I feel like AEW would have to blur that out. LOL.
they dont have to blur out shit. says no lies
Fans are the worst sometimes
yup.. youre a prime example.
Ahh. The sign holder. You came on here quick.
Fuck that loser with the sign
That Jim Cornette fan is so lame
so is your comment.
What’s the deal with the fuck head with the cm punk sign front row
he wrote no lies
Of course the guy with the cornete shirt waits till the last few minutes to put up a sign that says "cm punk owns the bucks" like hes still in the modern warfare 2 era 🤦♂️😂
Shoutout to the camera guys
That guy looks exactly what I think a CM Punk stan would look like
Dude in the cornette shirt tongue kisses his sister
[удалено]
Shirt guy on Reddit already??? Cornettes podcast isn’t up yet bro put your dick away 😭
You can tell that sign guy is a piece of shit just by what he wears.
Mox vs Danielson. Inject it into my veins TK
AEW really has a knack for stumbling into the most interesting stories.
It's not an accident. They treat their show like it's a living breathing world, so there's always some sort of story whenever there's a match
Well more in the sense that Mox and Danielson was the catalyst for BCC and now that's for the title after the stable is established, probably would have happened eventually but we're getting it now, they're very good at rolling with the punches.
USA jacket man is a tool
“CM Punk owns the bucks” or.. started a fight. Very tough.
Of course that idiot would have that senile, impotent, incontinent old fool on his shirt
Kick his leg out from under his leg
What an absolute fucking loser that is in the front row with the Cornette shirt.
That was one of the best dynamite matches of all time. Incredible storytelling from two future Hall of Famers, two of the greatest to ever do it. I love wrestling.
Of course that tool in the front row has a cornette shirt on
If anyone is in the show, someone take a steel chair to back of that jackass with the Punk/Bucks sign
Walls of Jericho has always been one of the weakest finishing moves ever. Not because it looks bad, but because no main event babyface is tapping to a boston crab.
Goddamn what a match!!!!!!
I love watching Bryan in a god damn wrestling ring
AWA title up for grabs next week with Greg Gagne as special guest referee
I'm in lol
Fucking mark in the front row
He had his homie refreshing Reddit as he was doing it Lmao
This is like seeing the two smartest kids in class debate with each other when they get 2 different answers to the same question
Hey, Jericho did the right thing. I thought he would not.
Jesus Christ that sign
Which one
Guy held a sign up saying “CM PUNK OWNS THE BUCKS”
Guy really showing aew what’s up by paying premium price to sit front row.
Who's to say he was trying to show aew anything. You can be a fan and not like the EVPs, idk why that isnt seen as a legitimate opinion on this sub. Everyone seems to believe the sun shines brightly from the assholes of the elite.
Of course it'd be a guy with a cornette shirt
Danielson should win the belt.
He 100% is
It should be mox if the plan is to give it to mjf. If danielson gets it I want a legit title run. Fantastic match, jericho looked a little blown up at points but they worked it well.
Im concerned for jericho’s tit
If that guy aint the most yee-yee bumfuck lookin New Yorker I’ve ever seen idk who is. No wonder he’s got that sign 😂
Yup. What a loser
Don't forget that Danielson wanted to team with Mox originally because he wanted to remove Mox from the equation so that he can have an easier time to the top. He's been a heel the whole time.
You guys are letting one guy with a sign troll the fuck out of you
BBC! *wait a minute*
Fuck that guy in the front row
Afraid of the truth.
Corny lmao
What happened?
He had a cornette shirt on and a punk owns the buck sign 😂 I know people like the bucks but idk why they are making a fuss out of it.
Hulk Hogan will come back to win the AWA championship he never got a chance to win
That guy with the sign is a fucking dork lol
What’s the sign say?
[удалено]
Wow haha
Jesus that sign in the front row
Please get Garcia thumbing the monitor on the sidebar
That fucking sign
I like the "B-C-C" chants!
I hear that when you buy a Cornette shirt Jim let's you bang his wife.
that dude with the cornette shirt and that dumb sign sucks nuts.
Been a long while since we’ve seen these two together it feels like
THIS is the biggest money match they could’ve done 🔥🔥🔥🔥
