if you told me to go follow that up I'd kill myself in the lockeroom

>>19024591 (OP)
a 6 star wwe match is like 3 and half in aew

>>19024591 (OP)
It was glorious

It was dogshit but the 619 attempt popped me
Where was the angle slam, the f5 and the spiral tap

>>19024662
>the spiral tap
not even 38 year old AJ could do that let alone 48

>>19024591 (OP)
They literally did nothing except kick out of finishers for 30 minutes

>>19024591 (OP)
same energy but better execution and action

>>19024680
And it was great!

>Cody gives Cena a 5 star match
>AJ Styles gives Cena a 5 star match
>Punk gives Cena a 3 star match
Shameful that Phil keeps calling himself the best in the world.

>>19024676
Who said anything about AJ doing it

>>19024684
*AS THIS
I meant "Same energy as this.."

>>19024680
It made a mockery of pro wrestling

>>19024626
Seriously why aren't they opening or main eventing? Putting them in the middle of the card was such a weird move when they would deliver that shit.

>>19024591 (OP)
Chris Jericho is definitely going back after that thunderpop for the Walls.

>>19024731
because gaytch's butt buddy seth needs to stink up the main event

>>19024680
better than will assplay logan paul and hangmaam doing flips

>>19024591 (OP)
This was an amazing match for WWE.

It was finisher spam but it was good to let the inner make a wish retarded child out and enjoy it

>>19024754
Na

>>19024754
AJ made a career out of flips you dumb nigger

>>19024662
Cena did the Angle Slam against Sami

>>19024591 (OP)
>Legitimately zero (0) bad match between them
Is AJ unironically best Cena's opponent? Not even Edge or Punk manage to pull him into this kind of kino.

>>19024591 (OP)
Fanservice: The Match

Joe and Jericho chants.

>>19024591 (OP)
I missed it...

>>19024722
But it's fine when The Bucks do it every single week right?

>>19024828
Why did Joe get fucked off from WWE anyways? I remember digging him being the final boss of NXT.

>>19024765
every time aewtists post something trying to posit it as cool it looks gay as hell

>>19024853
Gaytch fired him didn't he? One of his worst decisions ever

>>19024863
Vince fired him
Twice

>>19024860
You will never see a move countered so smoothly in WWE.

>>19024863
>>19024874
Why? Samoan but not part of 'the tribe'?

>>19024877
I'm pretty sure everyone with one week of training can do a code red counter but continue being impressed by the basics

vaq vs tiffy cleared this underwater match
the future is female

oh boy i hope they did a bunch of YUMMY MOVES and kickoutarinos

>>19024766
thankfully he got a clue

>>19024765
This looks cringe as fuck due to how small both of them are.

>>19024896

AEW won’t die as long as Tony continues funding it. Eventually AEW will be the largest professional wrestling promotion in North America after Saudi Arabia buys WWE.

>>19024938
>AEW won’t die as long as Tony continues funding it.
Good, I LOVE laughing at it, after all.

>>19024591 (OP)
Reminded me of Edge and Orton's match. This one fortunately had a crowd there to see it

>>19024765
this is just a normal counter bruv i've seen cena do this exact shit but it's more impressive because he has muscle and weighs more than 160lbs

Piggalos are legit embarrassing

>>19024591 (OP)
WE LOVE YOU GOATS

>>19024765
WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE FAGGOTS

4 1/2 stars. it was just finisher spam.

>>19024591 (OP)
Gay reference bait reddit match

cody has given aj and cena their only 5 star match in the company

>>19024722
but enough about gAyEW

>>19024947
Do you enjoy watching women’s professional wrestling with them all covered up?

>>19025139
I guess that's what happens when the guy rating the matches names his kid after you

it really does seem like professional wrestling is in its last throes

>>19024938
>WCW won't die as long as Ted continues funding it
>TNA won't die as long as Dixie continues funding it

>>19025190
Do you think that if the Saudis bought Saudi Arabia they would make all the wrestlers move there to wrestle year long or something? Kek, this board really has some very stupid people

>>19025216
bought WWE*, couldn't even type from the stupidity I read

>>19025237
The big PLE’s would take place in Saudi Arabia if Saudi Arabia bought WWE.

>>19025190
>Do you enjoy watching women’s professional wrestling
No

>>19025389
I enjoy watching Anna Jay wrestle.

>>19025410
I just watch porn

>>19025412
The lewdness that they get away with on tv is the appeal.

>>19024591 (OP)
Not enough

>>19024591 (OP)
Was it THAT good?
I'm gonna watch it later.

>finisher spam slop = 5 STARS!! MOTY!!
fedophiles are subhuman

>>19025140
Flippity floppity

>>19025566
As if AEW is any different. That's literally all Omega/Ospreay/Takeshita/MJF/Page/Swerve/Fletcher do.

>>19025950
this nigga just shoot "it's ok when WWE does it" posted jej

>>19025566
but it has a WWE logo in the corner which means its Le Good

>>19025529
it's such a stupid spotfest and callback spam like you wouldn't believe, but it's so well paced and done it 5/5 entertaining

>>19025389
Jej based

>>19025529
Nah. it was just random finishers.

>>19024809
AJ is THE actual best wrestler active in the past 20 years, no one is on his level, he just needs the right kind of motivation to show everyone why they call him phenomenal.

>>19024809
They are easily the best of their generation, no one come close. I can easily see the PG era not sucking as much if AJ had been there to counterbalance Cena, like The Rock did with Austin.

Why did Cena do the Walls of Jericho instead of the Ankle Lock
Why did ash do the Deadeye instead of the Angle Slam

>No End of Days
>No Skull-Crushing Finale
>No O-Zone
0/10

>>19024809
Styles probably has the best in-ring chemistry with Cena and vice versa.

Shellshocked

>>19026570
>>No Skull-Crushing Finale
Did you even watch the match?

>>19024809
I just realized they never got out of the ring like in their Royal Rumble match and kept everything on the ring.
Based as fuck.

If Cena only has four matches left scattered throughout three months, how are they going to promote them without him showing up

Genuinely, that was the best match I think I've ever seen. It popped me big time. Just a fun fucking nostalgia match and that's EXACTLY what John Cena should be right now. Fucking do a lap and just revisit old shit.

>>19024809
I feel like people are undermining psychological chemistry really bad these days. Shit was why Vince vs Austin worked really well despite Vince being so bad after the bell ring.
John and AJ had the same level of chemistry.

Don't care.
Didn't watch.
The PLE got record low ratings!

>>19025993
no it was between two wrestling veterans who objective stars having one their last big matches and pulling out all the stops. That's when this shit works, not on a random tv match between two nobodies

>>19026728
AEWtists fear this truth nuke.

>>19026719
Kek this nigga mad because he knows this will win MOTY even with Dave's cultists over anything in the tranny fed

Aww Fuck it!
Let's just talk about Cena v Styles!

Last Call Superkick!

>>19024591 (OP)
this is what people claim AEW is. Just shitty finisher spam.

>>19026801
Oh no no, that was a different superkick a Sweet Chin Music from HBK

>>19026813
Oh I thought since AJ did it he was referencing TNA so I thought it was James Storm

>>19026823
Oh no..no one watched TNA or knows who James Storm is

>>19025213
Yea Ted stop funding it and they died
TNA is still around

>>19026835

Aew trannies melting down cause they don’t get love and literally can’t comprehend why. Cena vs AJ gained an extra star for this post match beatdown alone

Good match sirs

>>19026858
Holy fuck get a life. You just made sure I’ll never look into who these faggots are you faggot.

i have no idea who the people posted are some reddit thing?

>>19026867
Mentioning the Bullet Club is giving AEW love.

>>19026879
Bullet club has fuck all to do with aew

>>19026890
Kek again AEW trannies can’t understand that another promotion’s history and prestige is not theres. They’re literally so fuckin stupid it’s crazy

>moves Cena still needs to do
Zigzag
Sit down powerbomb

oh kek you're a jerkchad based

>>19024809
That random Smackdown match was really underrated. I remember Styles got put through the table and a kid from the audience helped him up

>>19024647
star ratings aren't real smark

Match of the year

>>19024591 (OP)
this match was everything. I was literally crying when they were doing all the moves of other wrestlers. it was so iconic

There was no story in the match at all. It was just a finisher fest to pop the crowd. It was your basic AEW match.

>>19031551
Anon you’re getting scarily close to exposing you don’t understand the concept of being a draw in wrestling. No one cares about your dimeless, viewless, no star having promotion.
>It’s cool when the cool guy who gets people to show up does it.
>It’s lame and dorky when entitled self marks in a promotion with no prestige, audience, or history do it

>>19027106
I agree, only the match against Brock so far has been a let down

>>19024894
Joe kept getting injured anytime they tried to push him so i guess Vince cut his losses and got rid of him

>>19025139
You know it's good when you force Meltzer to have to give WWE main roster 5 stars.

>>19024809
Wtf is that fire horse thing?

>>19031551
The story is that it is two guys who were seen as the top performers in their respective worlds are going at it one more time for the fans, and to see who is the better man. The history of their careers, their prior matches and all they have experienced was also displayed during the match.

>>19027106
Yep, Cena has done it again, and he did it in true Cena fashion by doing it in a way where you didn't think he was gonna do it until he did it.

>>19026664
Whol card was surprisingly good, I can't decide if I like Cena AJ or Cody Seth more, both were litty. Cena going for the 619 just because the fans asked for it is legendary.

Regret not being here for the gamethread

>>19024591 (OP)
alvarez gave it 4 1/4. bout right

>>19032804
Michael (Mike) gave it 6 1/2 so that settles that

>>19032804
>Deadeye
How did Alvarez make this mistake?

>>19024591 (OP)
>no Clothesline From Hell
>no Samoan Spike/Drop
Why does Cena refuse to pay tribute to the people that made him?

>>19032971
He already did the clothesline in the Cody match.
>Why does Cena refuse to pay tribute to the people that made him?
>Comes out with a tennis racket and hits a redneck fan in the head with it then smashes someone's car window for exposing the business

Imagine me and another yardtarder just cosplaying as wwe wrestlers and doing their finishers for you, would you rate that five stars? It was a nice nostalgia act and definitely entertaining, but considering all these Meltzers always talk about their "stories" and stuff I wouldn't consider this an all time classic.

>>19033046
Yea. Reminded me of wrestling with my brother, but all we would do was signature maneuvers

>>19033046
>Comes into thread without reading it
>Makes an argument that has already been countered

>>19033046
Why are you aewtrannies so disingenuous? Is this an attempt at le irony like your idol the Young Cucks?

>>19024680
It worked because it was John Cena and AJ Styles, not some fucking marks in your tranny fed

>>19024701
Kek

>>19033046
it was a solid 4 star match. Had a bunch of finisher spam like every Cena match does. Cena just skips all the important bits and goes straight to the dessert. Cena matches are empty calories.

>>19033134
Can't stop thinking about food ya obese gayewtranny?

>>19033151
>Resorts to personal insults because he can't refute what I said
Fair enough

>>19033158
Nobody has to refute rhetoric, but anyway, what important bits did a match that everybody loved and that drew massive money miss? The whole card was planned properly and the main event was the one where they did the things they didn't in Cena AJ, and vice-versa, same as Cody and Seth as the current gen focused on 'new' stuff for their big moves while the older guys focused on the 'classics' for theirs.

>>19024698
punk looked more gassed than cena if i recall

>>19025190
A couple of the outfits have been really good.

>>19027106
>has been pure unadulterated
Only because you're leaving out there part where Cena didn't know how to work heel, and how the office either didn't have a plan for it or completely botched that run.
But yes, other than that, it's been great. But anyone who thought he wasn't gonna get good matches out of Cody, Logan, or AJ were retarded.

It was a bad match. The cope of "but they're old! Cena is retiring!" is evidence of that. Finisher spam is always lazy, but can work towards the end of the match.
But for the entire match to be finished spam, should winking at the crowd "don't worry, wrestling isn't real, so we won't make it look competitive, instead check out these references!"

>>19033572
auto correct went over my ass

>takes place in a nation famous for shitposting, trolling, and dangerous animals
>30 minutes of rest holds and kicking out of stolen finishers

I still say the whole thing was a rib.

>>19024591 (OP)
>/pw/ loves finisher spam matches now
anons here are faker than the wrestling they watch

>>19033567
Cena knows the psychology but it was impossible due to the crowd just not having it. He went to extremes to turn the people on him and they didn't want it and trying to do a heel match just disappointed the crowd so he had to listen and bring it back.
>>19033572
It was great for what it was, as the fans really needed that after the Rock bs and the Lesnar squash and this being him vs. AJ and all the history involved from their careers and it truly is amazing when you go back and realize a lot of the shit wasn't planned and they just reacted to the crowd. Off the top of my head the 619, Yes Lock and RKO and Punt were all in response to crowd chants and the theatrics they put into them were great. Even crazier when you consider how smooth it was when crowd chanted 619 and Cena called it to AJ and they did a seamless setup into it and perfect reversal then continued the match and even crazier when you consider they structured the whole thing to not step on the main event.

E-drones are retarded and they flood the board

I wouldn't even say this was a proper match. I got vibes of a couple of friends having fun in their backyard. Sort of like a bonus match that sits outside of wrestling canon. There has never been a match in history where so many finishers were kicked out of.

>>19033705

great match

How many yummy wummy heckin callbacks did this slop have?

>>19035685
Less callbacks than the average AEW match

>>19024765
The way he shudders and trembles makes this shit look so weak.
It's pure physical trickery to con low iq people into thinking he's moving faster than he actually is. It's like an autist doing that stimming thing.

>>19025566
So it's not ok when AEW does it? What's the logic here.

>>19024765
Grim

>>19024591 (OP)
Cena doing the Walls of Jericho was probably my favorite part. I like how commentary was like, "that's not just a Boston crab!" (And then obviously proceeded to reference the Walls) lol

>>19041341
Was that on the fly in response to Y2J chants or did the crowd start the chants after?

>>19042599
Who knows

Seems organic

>>19024626
