Nobby_McDonald Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 RAMPAGE Friday, week 2, April 2024 Buffalo RiverWorks, Buffalo, New York (5,000 capacity) Announce team: Excalibur, Matt Menard and Tony Schiavone. Rampage starts in the backstage interview area where we see Renee Paquette with Thunder Rosa. Renee asks Rosa about tonight’s main event where she will face Women’s World champion Toni Storm in an AEW League match… Rosa replies that for once tonight isn’t about the Women’s World Championship… nor is it personal… tonight it’s about the AEW League and she is proud to be in The Peak of Perfection team and she is proud they are top of the table… she’s going to get another three points tonight to extend the lead even further. 59 Dalton Castle & The Boys v Top Flight & Action Andretti A match that was better received than the quality on show. Top Flight & Andretti got the win in 8:22 when Andretti pinned Brandon. 55 Darius benefitted from a hot new move. Backstage and we see Skye Blue, who hasn’t been seen much in AEW this year. We’ll be seeing her next week as she challenges Red Velvet to a match next week. 44 Blue benefitted from public support. Blue is improving at her gimmick. Marina Shafir (with Nyla Rose) v Willow Nightingale (with Kris Statlander) A sub par match carried by Nightingale, who won comfortably in 9:08 by pinfall with a Fisherman’s Suplex. 52 Nightingale far out performed Shafir 57-34 The screen has gone black and white as we see the Timeless Women’s World champion Toni Storm with Renee Paquette backstage. Of course Luther and Mariah May are with her too. Renee asks Toni about tonight’s main event… Toni responds she heard Rosa’s little speech early… it wasn’t good… and she’s not read the script as that says the only winner will be the only shining star in the women’s division… Timeless… Toni… Storm. 56 Latin American X-Change (Mercedes Martinez & Diamanté, with Konnan) v Hikaru Shida & Riho A decent match, LAX picked up the win when Diamanté pinned Riho in 8:32 with a Code Red Power Bomb. 59 Diamanté performed worse than everybody else (44, next best Riho 54) Diamanté and Konnan have excellent chemistry. We are again backstage where Best Friends issue a challenge to Private Party for a tag team match next week. 50 v AEW LEAGUE The Peak of Perfection (Thunder Rosa (with Konnan)) v Timeless Ensemble (Toni Storm (Women’s World champion, with Luther)) A decent even match, where the champion picked three points for her team, Storm pinning Rosa in 13:52 with a Storm Zero. 60 – match of the night Show rating: 59 Attendance: 5,000 (sell out) TV rating: 0.07 (55,939 viewers and 87,070 overall) QUICK RESULTS Toni Storm beat Thunder Rosa (league match) LAX beat Hikaru Shida & Riho Willow Nightingale beat Marina Shafir Top Flight & Action Andretti beat Dalton Castle & The Boys 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 The rise of Fénix... I've just checked Fénix's popularity in the game... In USA he started at 47 and he's now 62-64 Canada from 43 to 59-60 Mexico stayed at 55 British Isles from 45 to 52-61 Japan from 35 to 52 Europe from 35 to 50-52 Oceania from 35 to 50-51 India from 25 to 40 They are sharp increases! And comparing him to his brother Penta... USA from 47 to 57 Canada from 43 to 53 Mexico stayed at 54 British Isles from 45 to 52-55 Japan from 35 to 46 Europe from 35 to 46-47 Oceania from 35 to 46-47 India from 25 to 36 Big rises too, but not quite to the same degree as his sibling. And how ironic their home country is the only region not to have increased! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 PRE SHOW The Gunns beat Colt Cabana & Hook in 7:23 when Austin submitted Cabana. 51 COLLISION Saturday, week 2, April 2024 Westchester County Center, White Plains, New York (5,000 capacity) Announcers: Kevin Kelly, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone DISCLAIMER - No snakes have been hurt in the making of Collision. We start in the arena parking lot where Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta have just arrived. They talk about The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass and the AEW World Trios Championship... Moxley says they are ready for a fight... Castagnoli wants The Acclaimed to be ready for a fight... and Yuta says he has tasted ROH gold before, he now wants some AEW gold... see you in eight nights, and be ready for the fight of your lives. 58 v AEW LEAGUE The Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society (Hikaru Shida & 'The Professor' Serena Deeb) v Team WooItsNathan (Anna Jay & Diamanté) The opening match was a little disappointing. BDAS were in control for much of it and the win duly came in 8:24 when Shida submitted Jay with a Full Metal Muffler. 48 Deeb was really off her game. Deeb benefitted from being in amazing form. (Yes, they sound contradictory but it's what the game says!) The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are in the backstage interview area with their custom AEW World Trios Championship belts. Billy Gunn says he has his boys more than ready... Caster does a short rap about fighting and titles... Bowens says they are ready to fight and would be happy to do it tonight... because everyone loves The Acclaimed. 61 Bowens and Caster benefitted from public support. v AEW LEAGUE TV Network (Tessa Blanchard & Trinity) v The Peak of Perfection (Thunder Rosa & Deonna Purrazzo) Four very capable wrestlers, though if you look at the AEW form then this match is only going to go one way. But then that's one of the beauties of wrestling, sometimes things happen and results occur you don't expect as TV Network upset the clear league leaders in 10:11 when Trinity pinned Purrazzo with a Nightmare. 60 Blanchard performed worse than everybody else (48, next best Trinity 58) Trinity benefitted from public support. Renee Paquette has Adam Copeland with her. She asks his thought on Cage trying to steal Spike... Copeland says that shows Cage is nothing more than a low life... he used to be his best friend but now he's his worst enemy... he got personal with my family, now he's trying to steal my personal belongings... Copeland lifts up Spike that he had by his side... if you want Spike that badly Christian... you can get up close and personal in eight days at The Big Gamble... Paquette looks a little shaken at the simple sight of Spike. 73 v OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN'S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Malakai Black v Trent Beretta A decent match. Beretta put up a good fight but in the end it was Black's mixture of mat wrestling and his striking, particularly with his feet, that won the day, his triumph arriving in 11:21 by pinfall with a Black Mass. 59 Lexy Nair is here for her AEW League Report, and she is with The Spooky Club, minus Malakai Black who has just won in the ring. Sting says they have a spooky bunch of crazies and he loves it... but they haven't been performing and he says he's not used to being at the bottom of the pile... Julia Hart agrees, saying The House always wins, so why can't The Spooky Club? Danhausen lets out an evil laugh. 56 Danhausen benefitted from public support. v 'Anaconda' Jack Perry & The Righteous (with Jake 'The Snake' Roberts) v Undisputed Kingdom (with Wardlow) A decent match and one where Roderick Strong did his best to stay away from Jack Perry and also Jake Roberts. When he was in the ring, the International champion proved to be the difference maker as he lead his side to the win in 11:07 when Taven pinned Vincent with an Arm Trap Headlock Driver. 59 Strong out performed everybody else (65, next best Bennett and Taven 54) Alex Marvez is backstage with the TBS champion Ruby Soho and her challenger in eight days time Kris Statlander. Both Statlander and Soho talk about how they get on well backstage, but Soho says that at The Big Gamble and they are in the ring, what goes on backstage doesn't matter a dime, she's keeping her title... Statlander responds by saying she's right that when they are in the ring they won't be friends, but the title is going back to Statlander. 50 Statlander benefitted from public support. v 'Absolute' Ricky Starks & Big Bill v House of Black (with Julia Hart) A decent match, though Starks carried his team. Fortunately for the former World Tag Team champions, the efforts of Starks was enough to carry them to victory in 10:17 when Starks pinned Matthews with a Spear. 61 Bill performed worse than everybody else (43, next worst Matthews 56) Matthews and King have great chemistry. In a pre recorded segment, Jim Ross is sat down with the four men who will be in The Big Gamble - World champion Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, Bryan Danielson and MJF. Each has their turn to speak and say they are risking everything to be in the match... Strickland says he is risking never being able to challenge for the title again... MJF says he is risking his job... Danielson says he is risking his entire career... Joe says he is risking his title, though he's keeping it... which prompts everybody to stand up and start shouting at each other, saying they will win... JR says tensions are rising early ahead of a high stakes match. 73 Strickland benefitted from a hot catchphrase. v AEW LEAGUE Timeless Ensemble (Jordynne Grace) v Black Lotus (Jamie Hayter) A very intriguing encounter between two top powerhouses in the women's division. However, despite some of the wrestling being quite decent, the match as a whole just felt somewhat flat. League points matter here though and it was Hayter who won for Black Lotus in 11:44 by pinfall with a Curb Stomp. 49 Grace and Hayter don't click at all and it showed. Hayter benefitted from public support. We are at an airport near the arena and Undisputed Kingdom, including Adam Cole are rushing to get on their private plane, presumably to get away from Jack Perry and Jake Roberts, or more specifically, their snakes as soon as possible... However, it seems that instead of rushing from them, they have rushed to them... as as soon as they have boarded, loud screams are heard from inside and Roderick Strong literally runs off the plane, closely followed by Adam Cole, hobbling as fast as he can... Taven and Bennett follow behind them and Wardlow is seen dropping snakes out of the plane... then the camera picks up Jack Perry and Jake Roberts sharing an evil laugh while lurking behind a baggage trolley. 49 v AEW LEAGUE Team Swerve (Santana, Nick Nemeth & Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana) v The Golden Lion Club (Claudio Castagnoli & Lucha Brothers (with Alex Abrahantes)) A good main event and again, Fénix was amazing. He is very much on top of his game at the moment and he could well be the hottest man in AEW at the moment. Credit too to Strickland, if it wasn't for him this match would only have lasted a few minutes. However, he couldn't prevent defeat as The Golden Lion Club took the points in 16:05 when Penta pinned Santana with a Fear Factor. 70 - match of the night Santana 56, Nemeth 55, Strickland 78, Castagnoli 67, Penta 74, Fénix 88 Le Champion Le Sex God The Painmaker The Ocho Lionheart Chris Jericho comes out to the ring. He calls out Sami Zayn, who duly obliges... Jericho tells Zayn he failed in WWE and he is going to fail in AEW... Zayn doesn't take that lying don't and says that Chris Jericho has fewer friends than he won World Championships... Jericho mock grins and says wrestling is a business, not a social and titles matter and Jericho will always be the first AEW World champion... Zayn says that is all well and good but when The Big Gamble ends a week on Sunday, he will make sure that Chris Jericho has wrestled his last AEW match... The two get in each other's faces and start brawling as Collision goes off the air. 70 Zayn benefitted from public support. Zayn is improving at his gimmick. Show rating: 68 AEW increased popularity in 4 regions. Attendance: 5,000 (sell out) TV rating: 1.10 (829,311 viewers and 1,174,146 overall) Collision was AEW's 20th best show in 2024. Collision attracted AEW's 5th highest crowd in 2024. Collision drew AEW's 14th highest TV rating in 2024. QUICK RESULTS Claudio Castagnoli & Lucha Brothers beat Santana, Nick Nemeth & Swerve Strickland (league match) Jamie Hayter beat Jordynne Grace (league match) Big Bill & Ricky Starks beat House of Black Undisputed Kingdom beat Jack Perry & The Righteous Malakai Black beat Trent Beretta in Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament First Round Tessa Blanchard & Trinity beat Thunder Rosa & Deonna Purrazzo (league match) Hikaru Shida & Serena Deeb beat Anna Jay & Diamanté (league match) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyTeran Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 DYNAMITE I haven't used him in a while so I am going to have the mouthpiece of The Golden Lion Club Chris Jericho take on whatever scraps Team WooItsNathan can scrounge up. COLLISION Black Lotus is going to take on the tried-and-true formula of Claudio Castagnoli and the Lucha Brothers for the men's trios match. Also looking back at when I first assembled my team, I got the Lucha Brothers to be my main tag guys with Claudio set to be my primary singles guy and Chris my secondary depending on the week. Now Fenix has definitely taken the crown of my main guy off of Claudio. Chris is still going to be the mouthpiece since if I am correct, he should still have the best mic skills out of my entire team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 (edited) @KyTeran Mic skills don't directly really count for much in the AEW League, though they would help a wrestler get over in the first place so it could help them indirectly.

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 PRE SHOW Bullet Club Gold beat Dark Order in 9:50 when Austin submitted Uno. 59 DYNAMITE Wednesday, week 3, April 2024 Indiana Farmers Coliseum, Indianapolis, Indiana (6,500 capacity) Announcers: Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone We start the show with The Elite in the ring. Adam Page calls out Steve Austin and Austin obliges... those he doesn't come alone as Drew Galloway, Eddie Kingston and Kenny Omega accompany him to the ring... Austin says in years gone by he would have no problem coming to the ring alone and stomping a mud hole in all their asses... but he knows he's older now and his body can't do what it used to and what he wants... but he has three men here who are more than willing to fight with him... The EVPs said they would be very happy to and as EVPs they have the power to make the matches... but not in Indiana as the people here are worthless... cue very loud boos... Page gets back on the mic and demands to know who he is fighting at The Big Gamble... Austin replies by saying that they already know who will fight Page... but Page will find out like everybody else at The Big Gamble... Page is fuming so attacks Kenny Omega who is closest to him, which sparks a six man brawl between The Elite and Steve Austin's men... and Austin gets to stomp a mud hole in Adam Page after all. 79 v AEW LEAGUE The Spooky Club (Abadon & Julia Hart (with Brody King) v Black Lotus (Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander) The dark side versus the power and power easily prevailed. Hayter scored the victory in 4:32 by pinfall on Hart with a Curb Stomp. 40 Abadon performed worse than everybody else (27, next worst Hart 42) Hayter and Statlander benefitted from public support. We quickly cut backstage after the match where a brawl has started between the four men contesting The Big Gamble match... Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, MJF and Bryan Danielson are laying into each other throughout the backstage area and even local law enforcement have to join arena security and AEW official to break up the brawl. 67 v AEW LEAGUE Team WooItsNathan (The Butcher) v The Golden Lion Club ('The Ocho' Chris Jericho) The Butcher has been putting some impressive performances without getting the results in the league and the same happened here, some could argue he actually had slightly more of the match than Jericho. Even so, it was Jericho with his arms raised in 8:10 by pinfall with a Judas Effect. 54 Backstage and we see Latin American Xchange looking like they will put another beating on the Don Callis Family as Santana, Ortiz, Rush, Vikingo, Guevara, Dralistico and Konnan out number Hobbs, Takeshita, Fletcher and Callis... however they are joined by Jeff Cobb who appears on screen and on sight of the man built like a small bungalow, LAX become a little more hesitant... indeed Konnan calls his crew off what looked a likely assault on their foes... Callis is gloating that his associate, the mercenary Jeff Cobb has evened the sides somewhat. 58 v FTR v Gates of Agony (with Prince Nana) A one sided match as despite Kaun and especially Liona with standing punishment, they weren't able to compete with the slick tag team skills and superior wrestling ability of FTR. The end came in 7:50 when Wheeler pinned Liona after a Shatter Machine. Good match. 59 Liona performed worse than everybody else (31, next worst Kaun 47) FTR have excellent chemistry. Gates of Agony have great chemistry. Lexy Nair is backstage for her AEW League report and she is with TV Network. Lexy points out they are 7th with 8 wins from 24 matches... Will Ospreay says they are doing terrible... Tessa Blanchard agrees... Johnny TV seems more interested in getting intimate with Taya Valkyrie... Trinity remarks that it seems some members of the team need to take the league more seriously. 48 v Jordynne Grace v Saraya (with Harley Cameron) Saraya isn't having a good time of it of late in the ring and this trend continue as she became another former Women's World champion to lose to Grace. Grace's win here came in 7:58 by pinfall with a Fall From Grace. 53 Grace out performed Saraya 52-42 Saraya was really off her game. Saraya suffered from poor form. Renee Paquette is backstage with TBS champion Ruby Soho and her challenger on Sunday night, Kris Statlander. Statlander tells Soho she wants her TBS Championship back... Soho says she will kick her ass on Sunday and leave still as champion... The two start shouting in each other's faces as Renee is barely heard handing back over to the announce desk. 60 Statlander benefitted from public support. v 'The Mad King' Eddie Kingston v 'The Aerial Assassin' Will Ospreay A very good and even match where Kingston's hard hitting and Ospreay's fast paced approaches led to an entertaining and back and forth contest. Ultimately Ospreay got the duke in 14:08 by pinfall with a Storm Breaker. 71 We are now in the office of Tony Khan, where Khan himself sits behind a large desk with usual office paraphernalia adorning it. In burst Undisputed Kingdom where Adam Cole demands that Tony Khan does something about the snakes that Jake Roberts and Jack Perry are using to traumatise them... Roderick Strong complains they are creating an unsafe working environment and one that is significantly increased the chance of poor mental health... Khan agrees... and tells Wardlow to stop throwing the snakes around as it scares them and significantly increases the chance of them getting hurt... or worse... Cole and Strong and the rest of Undisputed Kingdom are fuming as Khan tells them to leave while he deals with important matters. 58 Cole benefitted from a hot catchphrase.
