    I really feel for the people at AEW (and beyond), and of course, the Satterley family. It’s abundantly clear after tonight that “The Bastard” was universally loved by seemingly every one that worked with him.

    I’m officially retiring “Enjoy the show and have fun” and will instead top off the show discussion threads with “Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.” from now on.

    Remember the good old days when Dynamite wouldn’t make you cry regularly?

      I said earlier that it really sucks to say that AEW and Tony Khan have perfected tribute shows. AEW should never have had to do that. but they did and they’ve perfected them. I’ve cried more from watching AEW in September than I’ve ever cried watching wrestling ever.

    Edited the post to update the announced matches.

    Let me know how y’all feel about this format of just using images rather than copy/pasting the card. Might do this going forward.

        I’ll try it out over the next few shows. It really depends on how quickly AEW gets the promo images out.

      Images are cool, but you should probably add the text as well for accessibility purposes. I don’t know if any of our regulars uses a screen reader, but it wouldn’t hurt to be welcoming, right? Plus it makes the threads more searchable.

        Not a bad idea. Saturday’s thread might be the old format, since I’m attending the show. Depends on when the images hit socials.

    Not to bring the mood down even more but I just realized the show is happening in the same city the Butcher died.

    Insane that not even a week from his last match we’re got a tribute show to his passing.

    Mox vs. OC will also be tonight.

      after last night it made me want to see either an ironwoman match or the start of a best of 7 at full gear between mercedes and marina <3

        What made me a Marina mark is her match at Bloodsport a few years back. She’s a really good grappler, but needs someone that can work with a grappler.

    I’m glad Hangman is in a multi man match. That poor man doesn’t look ready to wrestle yet. I wish I could give him a hug through the screen.

    that was easily by far and away the best wrestling show I’ve ever seen. ever. and it’s horrible to say, it’s sad to say, it shouldn’t have to be said but AEW really has perfected these tribute shows. but man lastnights was absolutely amazing and a perfect way to honour Pac. Will hitting the black arrow, Danielson coming out of retirement for one match, that Mox promo. The Elite reuniting after 3 years for a match, the Womens trios match just felt like an old school AEW Classic. And man Tony Schivone REALLY carried that commentary last night. He kept everyone together and tried to keep their spirits up.

    Best wrestling show ever. I REALLY hope they don’t have to put another one on for a good long while.

    it really isn’t fair at all. we should be sad that it’s the longest time between the ppv and dynamite with no wrestling; we should be talking about united empire; we should be talking about will ospreay and jon moxley; i should be calling ricochet a bald jerk; pac should be on dynamite </3

    its just not fair and i honestly don’t know.

    all credit to wardlow for still deciding to return; credit to britt for losing in her hometown to marina; credit to everyone who lost for pac.

    Such a good tribute show. Such a good wrestler and great human being. I hope AEW doesn’t have to do anymore of these shows for a very long time. 40 is so young.

    Those matches were fire too. I felt getting myself getting teary eyed a few different times. I genuinely got excited when Osprey looked up to the turn buckle to hit the black arrow. It wasn’t as good as Pac but I didn’t know wrestling could hit me this hard. I hope it was somewhat therapeutic for the wrestlers.
