That match was great minus the finish. Well, even the finish was good. Even though I didn't want Sammy to win.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Yeah, I was hoping Andrade would pick up the W.

Oscuro arm breaker. Fuck yeah the Buy-In is going to be great.

I'm SO HYPED for Sunday.

I'm a big fan of Keith Lee's theme

I missed it, is there a particular reason all teammates are banned from ringside (I'm assuming all night)?

tbh with a 2022 record of 0-1 running away is probably her best strategy

Wait, if your gonna negotiate something like that, why wouldn't you have it be until the match officially starts? You know, that way you can prevent Tay Conti from putting her hands (or in this case her boot) on the champ.

Was the timekeeper/ringside doctor dude holding Deeb down and keep her from escaping while Shida kept beating her with a kendo stick?

I actually didn’t expect to see Shida back. That was a pleasant surprise. And she looked so badass.

All the men involved in the trios match on Sunday have been attacking one another non stop for weeks. I think that was the reason, so they wouldn’t show up and affect the title match.

Another great Rampage.

Triple threat match was really exciting, they put together some incredible sequences. Only downside was the finish, what a shmuck Darby Allin is.

We got a Punk promo which was great to see.

Keith Lee vs JD Drake was a fun hoss battle. A lot more competitive than I was expecting. Drake isn't great but he got some time to shine.

Deeb segment was fun. Loved her opponent's strategy of just running away from Deeb for the 5 minutes. Wish they would have dragged it out more, Deeb caught her way too easily. Shida's return was a really nice touch.

AEW should institute this as a blanket rule for all matches. Any intereference = fine and suspension.

Tonight's Rampage card for anyone interested.

Darby Allin vs. Marq Quen
Jamie Hayter vs. Mercedes Martinez
Keith Lee vs. QT Marshall
Swerve Strickland vs. Tony Nese

Also the Hardy Boys will be on tonight's Rampage as well.

House of Black's new mind games:

I take back anything untoward I may have said about Tony Nese ever since I realized he's basically those guys at the gym who hit on every woman in the weight section and their only personality trait/pickup line is 'BEHOLD my ABZ'

Can he wrestle? ABS

What does he do when he's not wrestling? ABS

Wanna get a protein shake after the workout? Can't do ice cream because it might ruin ABS

Another good hour of Rampage, I dug Swerve Strickland/Tony Nese.

Although I hate that 450 splashes don't end matches in this day and age.

It was an enjoyable match I wish it end one move earlier. The house call looked good but the final move off the top rope not so much.

I dug the Jamie Hayter/MM match. Jamie is great in her role.

Honestly, they really shouldn't.  Like SSPs, Moonsaults and Frog Splashes, so many use it that it is really not a finishing move anymore.

Curious if Mercedes starts to really go all out.  Her stiff style is not used too much these days, but if the girls are up for it, she can as hard as DB can.  

Would love to see Mercedes and Deeb go for a run together.  Mercedes is a submission master as well.  She does not use many of these now, but she can up when Cindy Rogers was still working, so all her early matches were chain heavy.  She also knows a ton of the lucha submissions.  Like shit I never seen used in actual matches, only her busting out at the dojo.  Would to see her go all out in AEW and let everyone see just how fucking good she really is.  

I want Deeb to be the next heel champion.

Yeah, that's kinda my point.

Much like flip piledrivers, they don't mean what they used to and it's disappointing. Back when Petey Williams was using the Canadian Destroyer it was awesome but now that everyone and their grandmother are using it, it's a move that doesn't mean anything.

For the longest time he protected that move, he made it appear like it was easy to counter it while he was setting it up but if he hit it then it was over.

Tonight's Rampage Card

Keith Lee vs. Max Caster
House of Black vs. Bear Country & Fuego del Sol
Leyla Hirsch vs. Red Velvet
Darby Allin vs. The Butcher

Holy shit, what a fucking move.

Loving Statlander’s new look. I hope she’s next in line for the TBS title. Only person I could believe beating Cargill.

If you have time, watch Butcher vs Darby. It’s a great match. Butcher FINALLY gets to show off, and the finish is excellent.

Butcher brutalized him, holy shit. Make sense though Darby would work his ass for him, IIRC he was an Every Time I Die fan.

Dude, the way The Butcher lifted Darby up for a powerbomb, wraps him up in a Texas Cloverleaf, then transitions back into another powerbomb all in 1 sequence is FUCKING MAGICAL!

I just had the realization that Jericho Appreciation Society could be shortformed to JAS and pronounced like YAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! That is all. "walks off"
