SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO ONE OF THE FAM, THE SAINT(ESS?) WON LAST WEEK AND SHOULD BE GETTING A SHIRT FROM AEWSHOP SOME TIME WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO!


Earlier today, a mini van pulls up to the arena, and here are The Best Friends. It’s Sue’s Van, and she asked that they park it somewhere safe.

Moxley gets some promo time about demons. He says when he was younger, he’d go to the ring, and it’s like he’s wrestling ghost. The people that cared about him would often try and talk him out of stuff, trying to tell him not to do deathmatches or this or that. Looking back, he wishes he’d listen, because he paid a price. In some cases, though, he wouldn’t change a thing. So he gets why Darby pointed at his belt and challenged him for his title. Ironically, though, Dean has become the advocate – the voice of reason – the person concerned for someone’s health, because he knows that Darby will come at him and not stop till he cant move, and it won’t cross his mind once that the last time they wrestled, he nearly broke Darby’s neck. He doesn’t want to end Darby’s career, but the title is on the line. Darby made himself just like everyone else. He’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. He won’t try and talk Darby out of anything, but please, when it’s time to stay down…just. Stay. Down.

Backstage, we are LIVE at MJF Headquarters, and he wants to show us where the magic happens.

He walks into a room and fires a bald man for giving him terrible gum. MJF is making posters and pins an shipping them all across the world. He asks who hung the poster on the wall up. Lee did it, and he gets admonished for the poster being crooked. MJF grabs a leveler and uses it to show that the poster is NOT, in fact, level. Love that he’s separating green Skittles from everying else.

We see a poll where he is leading. He is officially getting a match at All Out. The campaign isn’t over till the belt is around his waist because we dseserve better.

Someone off screen asks what if Darby wins, and MJF calls him a 125 lb emo kid, and how much it would suck to have to face him. Lol.

IN THE RING, Matt Hardy has the mic. He wanted to work here because he wanted to feel like he had a say in where his career was going to go. When he first got here, he thought maybe he could be an attraction and introduce evefryone to The Multiverse. He’s been having a blast. But he listens to his audience, and soe does AEW, and the majority of the audience wanna see Matt focus on seeing Matt, the man stronger than death. Off screen, he still wants to give back. Two guys, like Private Party, deserve a pop. If they ever need anything from him, he has their back. There’s another guy, Sammy Guevara. Sammy didn’t want it. He didn’t wanna step out on his own. In fact, the first time he was here in a ring, Sammy snuck out from underneath the ring and attack. So what better way to welcome Sammy back than to return the favor. Matt says he no longer desires to help Sammy.

Sammy slinks out from under the ring. Matt says he knew Sammy would come and turns. They fight. They go back and forth. Matt sends Sammy to the outside, Sammy pulls Matt to the outside, Matt sends him into the barricade. Matt sends Sammy into a table and some chairs. Matt body slams Sammy into the small table the ring announcers use. Matt grabs a title from under the ring. Matt sets the table up and grabs Sammy, but Sammy sends him into the post! Sammy fights Matt onto the table! Sammy throws a chair at Matt’s face! Holy shit.

Sammy to the top of the ramp! Sammy jumps and spins off the top, lnding on Matt! Matt is bleeding!!! He must have been busted by the chair! Matt sits in his own blood and wood from the table as Sammy stands tall on the ramp.

BACKSTAGE, Santana and Ortiz are here to destroy Sue’s minivan!!!

There’s a camera in the back seat for no reason. They bust out all of the windows and lights, making a mess of the van. Santan slams a sledgehammer into the front window and leaves it there. Ortiz questions whether they think this is a joke or not. Santana has spray paint. He Sprays out ‘SUE” and puts an x on her name.


Match 3: John Silver and Alex Reynolds vs Matt Cardona and Cody Rhodes

Cody starts, shooting the leg of Silver. He shoves Cody out the corner, Cody shoves back, kick and a right hand ot the chin. Cody locks the head and gets a delayed suplex. Cover for 1…..N!O!!! Cody works the arm. Tag to Matt who comes in and checks the chin then sends Silve into the corner. Whip and Matt ducks and gets kicked. Singe leg flapjack and a pin from Matt gets a 1..2..NO!!!! Matt gets a kick. Another. Tag to Alex who hits a suplex, but Matt floats over and hits a neckbreaker. Pin for 1….NO!!! Tag to Cody. Cody to the top rope. He drops an axe handle. Whip to the ropes is revered, Cody slides ot the outside but hits the post. Silver sends Cody into the apron then into the ring. Cody in the corner, kicks out of it, hits a right hand. Whip to the roes, Cody flies to the apron, hits a right, another then gets tripped and dropped down to the apron. Alex sends Cody back into the ring and tags in Silver Elbow drop to Cody, another, they trade elbow dorps Cover for 1…..NO!!! Cody up using the ropes, favoring the ribs. Kick to Cody.

My feed goes out so the time will be messed up, but I come back to Silver kicking the chest of Cody, who is on his knees. Silver with another kick. Cody asks for another one, so he gives Cody a bunch of kicks. Cody up with a surprise backslide, but Sliver flips out of it and kicks Cody about three times, only for Cody to hit a powerslam out of nowhere. Tag to Cordona, who makes short work of the team, hits a dropkick to Alex, a few hard rights to Cardona in the corner. He’s going for the Bro Boot, but Alex is pulled ot he outsid,e so Cardona dives out and sends Alexa back in the ring. He hits a kick, double underhook, sitout powerbomb! Pin for 1..2..NO!!! Silver in to break. The pin! Cody in the ring, Springboard cutter! He gets sent to the outside by Alex. Matt axe handles Cardon, gets sent into the corner. High kick then a cutter! GERMAN! Cover for 1..2..NO!!! Cody in, tumbles to the outside locked up with Silver!

Cardona is alone in the ring. Alex hangs him up on the ropes, rolls away, Ruff Ryder. Aka RADIO SILENCE! Cover for 1..2…3!!!

Winner: Matt Cardona
This match probably got more time than it should have, as the highlighting of Cardona all happened in the last minute or so. Still, I gotta enjoy the fact that it wasn’t a squash, and The people from The Dark Order do need some sort of credibility.
Total Rating: **1/2
Match Time: Feed Issues

Cody walks to the back, as Scorpio walks out of the poop tube. He stops at Cody, stares at the title, gives a nod, and walks back to the back.

Backstage, Trent and Chuck are nearby the damaged van which has gotten quite a bit more cosmetic surgery since we’ve last seen it. Trent is very upset, calls them a coward. Chuck says they only had to ask for a rematch, and when they beat them, Santana and Ortiz will personally apologize to Trent’s mom. On speaker phone.

Sammy comes out with some cue cards, which is kinda funny, cuz we go to Picture in Picture.

Hey Orange

Like Matt Hardy vs The Inner Circle

You’re Going to LOSE!

NOT ONLY

IS THE DEMO GOD

A MASTER IN THE RING!

HE’S MASTER ON THE MIC

MASTER ON THE STAGE

HE’S A MASTER ENTERTAINER…

HE’S A MASTER DEBATER…

Lol

Sammy tosses that one away and shoots us some hashtags.

We are back to the show and we get a Debate like intro, calling it Super Wednesday Debate 2020.

And the Special Guest Moderator….

Eric Bischoff!

Well I’ll be….

Bischoff thanks us all and welcomes us to the AEW Super Wednesday Debate 2020.

The debate is like this: 5 questions, chosen at random, and neither of the talent have seen these questions.

Bischoff welcomes Orange then Cassidy.

First Question goes to Jericho: Why do Jericho and Orange Cassidy hate each other so much?

Jericho says that’s easy, but he first wants to say that he’s glad Orange dressed for the occasion. Jericho calls him disgraceful.

Orange brings out a clip on tie and puts it on. Jericho says this is what it hates. No, he despises him. He despises who he is, what he stands for, and follows him and thinks he’s great. He’s not great. Jericho says people laugh at him. He’s a joke. Critics. Historians. Experts. They all alugh, and so does Jericho. He’s nothing. He’s a flash in the pan, a Ginger jackass who plays pocketpool on a weekly basis. He’s finished.

Cassidy gets a retort.

Cassidy has nothing to say. Bischoff moves on. Who is the better wrestler and biggest star? Jericho or Cassidy.

Jericho says with all respect, he’s Chris Jericho, man. He’s Le Champion, the demo god, he’s held 50 titles, Orange hasn’t even been out of Florida, and the only title he’s ever had was being named The Biggest Slacker in High School. He’d bully him they went to high school together. Orange is a nerd. Jericho stands here in a $10,000 suit looking like a million bucks and Orange smells like Drakkar Noir and batteries.

Vischoff asks Cassidy for his response.

Orange gives them nothing.

Bischoff asks about global sea levels and wonder Jericho’s thoughts.

Jericho says nothing to do with this situation.

Cassidy has plenty to say!

He drops mad knowledge and facts without taking a single breath, as Jericho stands there flummoxed.

The next question; why is Orange so popular. Jericho says he’s the epitome of every smart mark fan, he’s lazy, he’s arrogant, he’s entitled, and he’s a pimple of the ass of the Pro-Wrestling business. Jericho will beat him next week for the second time, and when he does, when his hand is raised, Orange will hae to give him $7,000 to pay for his jacket. Orange will then leave AEW and quit wrestling and go back to Jamba Juice and take his order, and Jericho will not give him a tip.

Cassidy’s response:

Last question; why does this rematch mean so much to both of them?

Jericho say—-

Orange finally talks, tells Jericho to shut up. He knows what Jericho is doing, what this is, scheduling a debate against a guy who doesn’t speak. He’s trying to embarrass Orange. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about Jericho. He does care about next week. He cares. He does It’s hr biggest of his life. It’s also the biggest match of Jericho’s life, too. Can you imagine, Chris, he’s Jericho, man! He’s done it all. All the things that we can google later. What if Jericho loses, though, to the guy that puts his hands in his pockets.

He tells Jericho to look into his eyes and look at the man that is going to embarrass him. Next week, look at the man that is going to beat him.

Jericho looks to Bischoff. Bischoff has no choice here to but to declare that Orange has walked away with this debate.

Jericho is pissed. He hasn’t liked Bischoff for 22 years. Bischoff says it’s been 24 and he knows exactly how Jericho feels.

Jericho says he will kick the shit out of Orange next week. In fact, he’ll do it now. He sicks Hager on him and Hager comes in and beats that ass. He piunches Orange then puts his hands in the pockets of Orange Cassidy. He sends Cassidy right into the Judas Effect.

We come back after a break, and Tony is with Britt and Co. We bring up Big Swole and how she must go through someone first of Britt’s choosing. Britt says that after careful consideration, her choice will be Reba. She is shocked. She says please, then ets sent into the ring. Reba struggles to get in there.


Match 4: Big Swole vs Reba

Side headlock takedown to Reba. Reba escapes, goes for a hammer lock, but Swole escapes and clubs the back. Britt distracts and Reba attacks from behind. She sends Swole int othe corner then goes for a suplex and struggles with it. She hits it. Reba rushes the corner with a swigning kick. She sends Swole int othe mat a few times then rolls her over .Reba to the top rope.

Reba struggles on the top, climbs back down to the 2nd rope, goes for a moonsault. Swole moves. DIRTY DANCING. Pin!

Winner: Big Swole
That was hard to watch for all the right reasons.
