1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred or just link the content in the body of the post.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

Match starts off with 2 people, and every so many seconds/minutes another competitor enters the match, similar to a rumble.
But the match is one fall, by the usual pinfall/submission/etc etc. The first 2 wrestlers are the only ones guaranteed to even be in the match; if #1 pins #2, the match is over before #3-6 even get to come out. Which is why they had those "who gets to be #1/#2 matches recently on Dynamite/Collision/
Ah cool, thanks.

I don't know about any of that. I'm subbed here because I used to be a big wrestling guy and I still enjoy the news about the industry, but I can't actually stand to watch any of this any more.
Fair!
If you haven't before, I recommend you check out AEW. Speaking for myself, it's everything I love about wrestling without everything I hate about WWE.
I was around for the first few months of AEW and watched it weekly, but I just don't care any more. I'll pop in to watch a PPV (or whatever they're called these days) occasionally. WWE is completely unwatchable though, there's just something about it I can't stand.
Lucha Underground spoiled me, it was so much fun and nothing else can compare.
LU was so good!
Lucha Underground was absolutely brilliant, I agree. Nothing like it before or since.
Men's Casino Gauntlet Match
Mark Briscoe vs. Mistico vs. MJF vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA
Hard to say, but I'm gonna give the edge to MJF as he's feuding with both Briscoe and Mistico, it feels like it makes sense.
Women's Casino Gauntlet Match
Kris Statlander vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA vs. TBA
#2 will be decided tonight (Megan Bayne vs. Tay Melo vs. Thekla vs. Queen Aminata) so also hard to say, but I could see Kris winning with some interference since it seems like they're building her up a bit with the Yuta stuff.
Tag Team Match
Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay vs. The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson)
Swerve When I Assassinateβ’ wins, big show, why not
AEW World Tag Team Title Three Way Match
The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) (w/MJF & MVP) (c) vs. JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey) vs. The Patriarchy (Christian Cage & Nick Wayne)
HS retain unless if they wanna pull the trigger on MJF already, which I don't think they are yet. Probably not a clean win.
AEW TNT Title Match
Adam Cole (c) vs. Kyle Fletcher
Fletcher I cannot give a rat fuck about Adam Cole anymore and the Fletchlights are red hot for this
AEW Continental Title / AEW International Title / AEW Unified Title Match (vacant)
Kenny Omega (c) vs. Kazuchika Okada (c)
Omega wins the Unified title after both men bring their WrestleKingdom-best.
AEW Women's World Title Match
Toni Storm (c) vs. Mercedes Mone
I do not want to see Mercedes win the title while she has 8375 other belts.
AEW World Title Texas Death Match
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Adam Page
..I will burn this goddamned world to the fucking ground, I swear..
they said they'd give up their evp title_s_ they're allowed to have one
Men's Casino Gauntlet Match
Darby Allin returns as the Joker card and wins
Women's Casino Gauntlet Match
Britt Baker returns as the Joker card, Willow Nightingale wins
Tag Team Match
Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay win, I can't see them out of the title picture for a year and disposing of the EVP position as a plot device makes sense to me
AEW World Tag Team Title Three Way Match
The Patriarchy wins due to dissension between Hurt Syndicate and MJF
AEW TNT Title Match
Kyle Fletcher needs this, and Cole has done nothing with it, so he gets it
AEW Continental Title / AEW International Title / AEW Unified Title Match (vacant)
Kenny Omega
AEW Women's World Title Match
Toni Storm hands Mercedes her first L
AEW World Title Texas Death Match
Adam Page. Dear god, please.
I like your selections and second them. Except...
Darby Allin returns as the Joker card and wins
And we get the Darby - Mox match to crown Darby as the next star. As much as I'd prefer Page I think AEW will go with holding off until Mox and Darby can happen.
I don't about the rest of you but when Hangman is on top, my enjoyment of AEW goes up.
I'd agree if this was a different show, but this is All In. This is not the show you end with the Death Riders standing tall. This is the show you end with the hero redeemed and saving AEW from their clutches, and holding the title belt aloft for the first time in months.
I hope you're right, but I'm not going to be shocked if it doesn't happen.
MJF I think, he's going to screw over the Hurt Syndicate on his way to a world title
I think Thekla to get her more established and I think Kris is going to keep losing for the Death Riders angle.
Swerve and Ospreay, the stipulation is the tell
Hurt Syndicate as there no reason for them to drop it to either team
Kyle Fletcher because he's red hot and Adam Cole isn't
I don't even know with Omega and Okada and I love it
I want to say Toni but I'm not sure about this either
Please dear Black Phillip let it be Hangman
I 100% feel its gonna be Omega...I'll be happy to be surprised, but it just feels Omega to me...
...and I know he's not gonna...
...but if my boy picks this match to come out wearing this shit
...I'ma lose my fucking mind.
Calling my shot on Christian and Nick getting the tag titles.
Bonus prediction, the Hurt Syndicate blames MJF for the loss.
kris statlander 1, megan bayne 2, then riho, then lulu pencil, then shida a girl can dream
