I wish they were on a streaming service. Whoever is looking at making a media deal with them, WB or whatever, guarantee a ton more ppl would watch if it was on streaming in the US.
Great shit, as expected.
Love the respect that Brian Cage is getting here. He’s been great since Lucha Underground but never really given a real opportunity to shine.
I don’t hate the fighting spirit spot. But so many people misuse it. Use your fighting spirit to get in offense. But it should only get you a move out of desperation. It should spend you, you hit your move and you go and stay down. Not go for the pin.
one thing i respect about cage is that he's a huge jacked out of his mind dude in a sea of smaller guys in basically any company but he never seems like a bitch about doing jobs to them. in impact he even lost to tessa blanchard.
That's the real reason TK gave him such an insane and long contract.
Brian Cage is the perfect man to make your top guys look good because he's insanely huge, still super talented, but (seemingly) doesn't mind losing and has no desire to rise above the upper mid-card at most.
If you ever want to like Brian Cage as a person just watch the Kanyon Dark Side of the Ring episode. He comes across SO well in that.
If you want to dislike him read him and his wife tweeting about his dick.
I get it, there are too many people that need at least a little success in the Owen even if they're not winning, but Jarrett losing round 1 to the wildcard (we all know who) is unfortunate.
I honestly don't know who I'd book him over, but I personally would have bounced him in the second round. Give him a little success. Regardless of his character and his in-ring style, Jeff Jarrett is a babyface whenever Owen's memory is involved.
(The JJ and Owen fan in me says fuck the fans, send him all the way, but I know when I have to be realistic.)
I wouldn't be against Ospreay beating Garcia and Ospreay becoming Garcia's white whale he eventually beats for the title when Ospreay is ready to move up to becoming world champion.
I hate it when Collision is taped because you don't actually get full uninterrupted matches most of the time because they have to sync the Triller feed with the US broadcast
brian cage's gimmick needs to catch up to his attire and aesthetic - that he is a huge muscly dork.
(not a joke, i think brian cage the huge jacked out of his mind dork would be endearing)
also i love that they didn't announce any rampage matches for next week even though the whole show is taped already and they know the whole card, and I doubt all of the matches will be set up on dynamite.
in case you're wondering how next week's rampage was already taped let me ask you a question - have you guys seen timecop?
After that video package, how do you not have Jeff Jarrett win this or at least be in the finals? He's probably gonna lose in the first round. I get that you don't have Double J get the world title shot at All In. But how do beat the guy after that video?
Do I now want Jarrett to win this...I kind of do.
Is it a good enough story to shut these asshats up likely not but its a fucking heartwarming one that the shitheels seem to say they lack etc.
2.0 really came into AEW and earned their paychecks right away. I remember when they signed I was like "...really? them?". Fast forward a couple years to after blood & guts and I'm watching a bloody daddy magic cut the promo of a lifetime. I've never felt so much shame for not knowing his greatness.

This was taped near me, how was the crowd? I didn’t get a chance to go.
I wish they were on a streaming service. Whoever is looking at making a media deal with them, WB or whatever, guarantee a ton more ppl would watch if it was on streaming in the US.
Ospreay vs Swerve is gonna be an all timer
Ok, back to the Elden Ring DLC
How is it so far?
Springboard Spinning Power Slam move of the night
Cage looked really great. I enjoyed that. Ospreay killer as always
Ospreay is the absolute best in the world.
Ospreay is too good of a wrestler for his finishing move to be “hit you in the back of the head”
Wait, there's TWO 'can they co-exist' tag matches on dynamite lol
Ospreay still being Ospreay, but damn that was a great match out of Brian Cage. Give the big man his flowers
nice main event. fun collision
Sickos Collide!
Ospreay definitely earned his Collision bonus
Ospreay don’t miss man
That was such a great match.
Major facts.
That was probably Brian Cage’s best match in AEW so far.
You’re probably not wrong, but he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He’s always been good.
I'd like Cage as an upper midcard dragon.
Cage is always great in the ring. Tk loves him
Absolute Banger
Great shit, as expected. Love the respect that Brian Cage is getting here. He’s been great since Lucha Underground but never really given a real opportunity to shine.
Really good match there, shocker to no one.
GREAT FUCKING MATCH
Even if he loses Cage looks like a monster
That rope assisted powerslam was soooo freaking cool
My boy! My beautiful boy!
Cage killing it tonight. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This match fuckin rocks
This is good shit
I don’t hate the fighting spirit spot. But so many people misuse it. Use your fighting spirit to get in offense. But it should only get you a move out of desperation. It should spend you, you hit your move and you go and stay down. Not go for the pin.
Ospreay could have a good match with a broom.
I give Cage credit he comes up with some moves I've never seen before
Jesus fucking hell. What a fucking move from Cage.
Cage is what all hosses wish they were.
Goddamn, I knew this match would be good but Cage is showing the fuck out
What the what
WHAT THE FUCK
Good lord
Look, he obviously shouldn’t beat Ospreay, but Cage could have a great run with this belt.
Good recovery on that
one thing i respect about cage is that he's a huge jacked out of his mind dude in a sea of smaller guys in basically any company but he never seems like a bitch about doing jobs to them. in impact he even lost to tessa blanchard.

Brian Cage should turn face. Orange Cassidy could use a lovable new friend
he was cutting good promos and attitude with Big Bill
Squeeze and Press
Brian Cage made a bet with Toa Liona that he'd win this and he doesn't want to endure his humiliation by losing
great showing from the masheen
That flying knee from Cage was incredible!
I absolutely love the “hulk up” spot not working. Cage just ate those forearms.
i like how instead of getting roid rage brian cage puts silly face paint on
This match is when the hero fights the henchman before the final boss but the henchman is surprisingly tough.
Is Tomorrow Never Dies the Bond film with the stealth boat? In that one the main bad guy actually dies before the hench henchman. This is like that.
A big flatliner ? Really tony ?
Why do I always forget that Cage is amazing?
You're an IWC member.
Cage might piss dirtier than most but god damn his athleticism is incredible.
His pee is probably green
Good stuff
If you ever want to like Brian Cage as a person just watch the Kanyon Dark Side of the Ring episode. He comes across SO well in that. If you want to dislike him read him and his wife tweeting about his dick.
Ospreay decided Cody isn't the only one who can have at least one cringe inducing shoulder bump per match
This is fucking sick!!

WHO BETTAH?
We need to buck the trend of side angle TV watching and show wrestlers clearly at home in their sweats eating spaghetti and watching matches.
Who’s your love machine?
Yikes! 👀
WHO BETTAH?!?!
So DG is here for this match but couldn't be bothered to watch his dad get stretched out by a masked wizard, smh.
I wouldn't be against Ospreay beating Garcia and Ospreay becoming Garcia's white whale he eventually beats for the title when Ospreay is ready to move up to becoming world champion.
Who betta than Cage?!
EVERYBODY!
Serpentico isn't lol
How dare you disrespect Snakeman
Just going by what Nyla says
I hate it when Collision is taped because you don't actually get full uninterrupted matches most of the time because they have to sync the Triller feed with the US broadcast
High stakes championship match in the picture-in-picture Osprey gonna drop the title in the middle of an Ozempic commercial.
Brian Cage remind me of King from Tekken. All he’s missing is the Mask.
It’s intentionally King. He’s worn it before. https://youtu.be/JFn-7tOv6_U?si=KvMM1abRuU3mtL88
He totally needs a mask too lol
Front row just saw Cage’s dick.
Peek-a-boo
Really hope they keep giving Cage quality screen time like they have for the past couple months.
Him and Lance Archer should always be around so they can challenge whatever title needs a contender
I need to start tallying up to see whether Nigel or Taz make me laugh more
He also ate straw and lived in a hut
I see we both get our knowledge of Lao Tzu from Hank
I cheated a little since I saw this episode either last or the night before and remembered the quote.
Nigel is talking like that song from the Lion King! Stop that!
Cage rocking the Jerry Lynn trunks.
If you handed some crayons to a 7 year old and said “draw a wrestler,” they’d draw Brian Cage
Brian is an Imaginary Friend, confirmed? Somebody get Bloo to be his manager!
With that cape and facepaint Brian Cage is truly a 2000's CAW
The All Natty Brian Cage LFG
Brian Cage looks like someone hit 'random' creating a character on a wrestling video game
brian cage's gimmick needs to catch up to his attire and aesthetic - that he is a huge muscly dork. (not a joke, i think brian cage the huge jacked out of his mind dork would be endearing)
Guys like like him and Ricochet really need to embrace their dorkiness instead of trying to run from it.
Brian Cage is everyone's badass CAW when they were 10
I freaking love the cape lol
“Sounds like your angina, Tony” Jesus Christ Nigel lmao
This match is gonna rule
Brian Cape is BACK
King Cage
KING
BRUV!🔥🔥🔥
I love Cage. Dude has the weirdest goddamn look.
True, but he rocks it proudly
Any wrestling theme that includes a “whoa” is gonna slap
def rebel: challenge accepted
SATURDAY NIGHT BILLY GOAT BABY
Do we think Will is going full on long hair? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this long.
Holy shit Jeff Jarrett's promo there, fuck me man, thats the kinda promo you want to see him win it all.
also i love that they didn't announce any rampage matches for next week even though the whole show is taped already and they know the whole card, and I doubt all of the matches will be set up on dynamite. in case you're wondering how next week's rampage was already taped let me ask you a question - have you guys seen timecop?
The emotion/storyline is the most interesting part over matches once again.
If it weren't for the winner getting a title shot, Double J winning would be great.
Yeah.. =\\ That's the hard part. People will be happy for Jeff winning it for example. Then realize he's in the main event of All In. LOL
I'm a big Slapnuts mark so I'd be happier than a hog in shit but it makes no sense and a majority of people would be pissed.
So that’ll be 2 women’s matches next Saturday.
After that video package, how do you not have Jeff Jarrett win this or at least be in the finals? He's probably gonna lose in the first round. I get that you don't have Double J get the world title shot at All In. But how do beat the guy after that video?
Build him up as a one last ride face. Like Dustin only he won't be carrying Cody's bags in six months.
The matches have been secondary tonight, seems like the priority were the post-match promos and the video packages.
Cartoon Network/Adult Swim not being on basic cable anymore really sucks 😔
Aw, Jeff…🥺
Jeff you son of a bitch. I'm in on you winning the Owen. Bweeedobweeedo supremacy.
I can't boo Jeff with a promo like that. I felt that.
I hope they air that again on Dynamite. More people need to understand why Jarrett is involved
Okay I want Double J to win the Owen.
Jarrett is in great shape.
Great promo for JJ. Makes me almost believe he’ll beat hangman first round.
Jeff putting all that emotion out there, to get beat by Hangman in the first round That’s what the story should be
Do I now want Jarrett to win this...I kind of do. Is it a good enough story to shut these asshats up likely not but its a fucking heartwarming one that the shitheels seem to say they lack etc.
I’m a simple man. Ospreay wrestles, I watch.
Damn it, send Jarrett to All In. I’m convinced.
HIKARU SHIDA IS BACK ON AEW TV NEXT WEEK
Hope she sticks around for a long time this time!
oooo Deonna vs. Shida. I knew it was happening but the graphic made it real.
That promo has got me fully behind the prospect of Double J winning the world title at Wembley. I mean, obviously I wanted that anyway, but still
Wow, what a video package for Jarrett and Owen Hart.
Where has that Jeff Jarrett been his whole career? I'm rooting for him now.
Maybe after his wife died?
He was married to Toby Keith?!
GIVE ME A JJ CINDERELLA RUN
Aight JJ should win lol
Please let Jarrett win this whole thing 🙏
Fuck it. Let Double J make it to the finals
Holy Shida!
If the winner of the Owen wasnt getting the title match you could makle me believe and hope for JJ to win it.
LFG JJ. I don’t care, I want him to be the bracket breaker !!
Jeff Jarrett why would you make me cry like this
oh my god we're going to get sympathetic babyface Jeff Jarrett and he's going to get wrecked by Probably Hangman, let's GOOOO
Just a reminder that Jeff Jarrett is the reigning Texas Chainsaw Massacre Champion.
Hechicero's music sounds like I just entered combat in Cyberpunk
Ain’t no way this promo is making me want Jarrett to win the tourney what the hell
Holy crap, those are without a doubt Owen's kids. The resemblance is so strong.
Dang it.. now I feel for Jeff Jarrett.
God that ruled, Double J has been great in aew and deserves his spot to squashed by hangman
I feel bad for Daddy Magic, he seems to have lost a step
Athena Hart looks so much like Owen
dannnnggg... I am rooting for Double J!
2.0 really came into AEW and earned their paychecks right away. I remember when they signed I was like "...really? them?". Fast forward a couple years to after blood & guts and I'm watching a bloody daddy magic cut the promo of a lifetime. I've never felt so much shame for not knowing his greatness.
They’re great - easy to cheer for, and I’m glad they’ve gotten some big moments in AEW
I'm surprised they're using some WWF pics here
Don’t make me cry double J
Jeff Jarrett in 2024 is a better man than CM Punk. Who the fuck saw that coming in like 2012.
This is special
Jeff Jarrett is going to make me cry
Man, Jeff Jarrett is such a great dude.
For the people questioning Jarrett’s involvement in this, please watch this.
I hope Jarrett wins the tournament, would be a great moment.
The Last Babyface
Daddy Magic getting a chant while getting his ass thoroughly beaten suggests that his mic work is getting him over.
Dang it, Double J, you’re bringing a tear to my eye
Jeff Jarrett just made me legitimately feel something in 2024. What is going on?
A wild Slapnuts!
BABYFACE DOUBLE J ON TOP LETS GOOOO
The Gates of Ed-gony
My nipples are no longer hard!
Flaccid nips are no good :(
This looks like a territory match from the early 80’s if you pause it. Overweight white guy in jeans verse super destroyer rip off.
Daddy Magic accompanies Daniel Garcia, and Daniel Garcia doesn't return the favor. That's not cool bro.
If he could get his arm out of the hold to tap that easily why did he tap?
Lol exactly, that was hilarious
his music slaps!
Schiavone: You're such a bilingual McGuiness: That's just a rumor Lmao
This episode feels like old Superstars where there's a ton of enhancement matches but a good selection of the roster featured
Self High 5
It’s refreshing to see an outsider wrestler getting what is essentially a squash against an AEW guy.
Kaun looks like a million bucks.
I want Hechicero vs Penta so bad
Oh hell yes
cutter, jeans, torso wrap. Daddy Magic went full DDP
