#LAWTAKE - AEW RAMPAGE 5/1/24
As AEW quietly tests the waters with these preemptive three hour programs, I’m actually on board. Rampage felt quality and if I didn’t have two hours of Dynamite to lead me in I might not have known this if I had to wait for Friday to watch. More NBA Playoff games. Lets get into the show…
I have to get over the Jay White Needs To Be A Singles Wrestler motif and accept him as a Trios guy. I am over the dual belts. I am also over watching the Bullet Club Gold have repetitive developmental matches against Top Flight. But alas we are here.
I can see Top Flight take Blade Runners & 3 Tens A Yuma’s (?) all the time for the way they sell them. I don’t even see these three taking the belts off Bullet Club Lime either.
Ricky Starks returns to feud with Jericho, Big Bill & aid Hook. Must be the case.
Deonna Purazzo is another victim of big Indy Women’s Wrestler debut, high profile match, then relegated to Rampage. Her match series with Thunder Rosa should be solid though.
RUSH back is best for business. Shame we never got see him and Andrade pair with each other much in AEW but whatever RUSH does should have some spotlight on it for his good he is.
Kyle O’ Reilly gets a much needed win against Rocky Romero. I don’t see either going anywhere after this but more filler matches to statpad one another’s records.
If KOR and Samoa Joe’s bodies hold up, I see these two being the dark horses of the 2024 Continental Classic.
What are Saraya and Harley Cameron doing? What have they been doing? These backstage promos has been useless to say the least but they’re teasing something noteworthy Wednesday for Dynamite. An actual appearance!
Will Ospreay is going to annihilate the entire Undisputed Frozen fellas weekly leading up to Double Or Nothing.
Anytime I see Willow show up with the TBS Title I get the echo chant of “32 Days” in a Mercedes Moan voice.
Either way a defense is a defense. Skye Blue was Willow’s first victim in a title retention in a random Falls Count Anywhere match.
We got a bag of pucks & a bag of thumb tacks in the same night. Car Crash Galore.
Willow dropped Skye with a Doctor Bomb through a barbed wire bed and I don’t think we will see much of Skye Blue for a while.
These two have met in two hardcore matches in the last two months and with Julia supposedly out for surgery this brutalizing of Skye should send her packing too.
An 8/10 Rampage for me with the match quality. A lot of “right to the point.” It’s like I should watch more Rampage, damn!
