This better be good.

 

I heard she quit wrestling to become a librarian.

 

Some pics that are a little bit more complete.

 

Can the match of the year be a draw? Holy f-ing shit.

 

Fans have definitely been revolting against Cody and anything against Black these last few weeks. Wonder if they'll try to pull an about-face in the storyline, since they've been trying to portray Black as the bad guy in this.

 

FTR wearing gear modeled after black and white NWO against Sting. Liking it.

Like that FTR is wearing heel-NWO gear, while New Day (Kofi/Woods) has been wearing face-NWO Wolfpack gear lately.

 

Combination of the fans cheering a guy over with the IWC and got jobbed over at his previous employer vs. a guy in management who has pretty much everything over-produced for him.

Truthfully, Cody has been putting more talent over than expected and has largely been absent from the main event scene. But yeah, he could use a heel reboot, especially with Punk and Danielson coming in as faces.

 

It was tough to live up to expectations, but I think Dynamite tailed off a bit after the epic Bryan/Omega match. Sting and Darby vs. FTR was good, but Cody/Black was too "Cody-fied" and Pillman/MJF was fine but not spectacular to me.

With Ruby and Britt, it was a good match, but it had a lot to live up to -- especially with some of Britt's past bangers, like with Thunder Rosa.

 

What a trash finish to an amazing match. Going to bed without watching the rest of this, I am pissed. Caught me completely unawares, announcers didn’t remind you there was a draw coming at all…..which I guess is good by them so as not telegraph it but I am just pissed

 

Reminds me of reading all these wrestling books about the old territory days, when Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes bragged about working a 60-minute draw. Always leave 'em wanting more, or incite a riot because they wanted to see a real finish?

 

Justin Roberts announced at the beginning that it was a 30-minute time limit, and the announcers mentioned it as it got to the final minute.

Roberts also gave a couple updates, but his mic wasn't synced up right to the broadcast and could just be heard over the stadium sound system.

Pretty much all AEW matches have time limits, and it's not the first time they've done a time limit draw. I believe they did it with Jungle Boy and Jericho before.
