I had assumed Frontier was hurting Chicago's chances of getting bigger ROH events before last year's NJPW event. Back when this was a cherished market for ROH, bigger shows, like the 06 Wrestlemania weekend cards, were a real strain on that venue. One bathroom for 1,500 people is just a bad idea.
Not that I'm arguing with getting Kenny Omega, but I do hope more NJPW guys come over for this tour. This would be a smaller crew from the company than what is usually presented at these joint shows.

Not that I mind the Berwyn atmosphere, but why did this get moved away from Bourbon Street? Just noticed there's a five-month gap in Bourbon Street shows, which is odd.

Friday's shows are brutal enough as it is. I've been quite happy about AAW having a run of Saturday shows because that Friday night drive from downtown to Bourbon Street....ooof.

It is disappointing that this taping is scheduled during the Best of the Super Juniors, meaning Scurll and Ospreay won't be here. As far as I know, those two have never wrestled here.
Also don't help that ROH has lost so much talent in the past year. Roderick, Cole, O'Reilly, letting Keith Lee slip off to Evolve, Elgin, Lio Rush. Still plenty of good wrestlers, but this card is also missing the Briscoes.

We had it booked before Evolve ran it again. There really wasn't a good way to change the card around to make everything make sense so we just left it.[/quote] That explains it. Will be a fun match regardless--though a Keith Lee moonsault may bring the roof down at the Eagles Club. One question about tickets--do GA tickets still get seats? Or is it essentially standing room? |

It's kind of weird to have Lee vs. Dijak after they just wrestled on Evolve's card last Saturday. Or is that just me?

Was that the joint show with Great Lakes Wrestling? Think that might of had anything to do with it? [/quote] It was that joint show. The main event featured two of their guys, Dave Herro and Damon Nelson, teaming with Al Snow and Abyss. Pretty much all the offense from Herro and Nelson looked awful. If the goal was to pop the crowd with local guys, it didn't work, because very few seemed to know who they were. The match dragged on, and then Sandman came out, did his long entrance, hit people with the cane, you know the drill. I don't even know if it was included on the iPPV. The bigger problem was spending so long setting up a cage which was barely utilized. Totally killed the crowd. |

Went with a group of friends to their show outside Milwaukee last year. Fun bit of nostalgia, but some really lackluster matches and a bad setup. They spent the better part of an hour putting up a cage for a tag team main event, only for guys to work what amounted to a regular tag match (as in they were still tagging in and out) and guys only got thrown into the cage TWICE. The crowd rightfully crapped on it.

Very weird that no matches or talent have been announced when this is their next scheduled show. Expected something after the War of the Worlds tour, but nope.

Have some extra 4th row tickets for friends who couldn't make it. Message me if interested. Just want face value and for them not to go to waste since I can't get a refund.

Should be a great show. It'll be even better if there's no fans recording their own lame commentary in the crowd onto a Walkman, and distracting everyone from great in-ring action.

My first AAW show in 6+ years. All I can say is I'll definitely be there next month.
One thing: can AAW do something about those two fans near the merch tables who were recording their own commentary all night?

Creatively, this company is in awful shape. I don't see how Matt Hardy being brought in is going to change that.

ROH just announced they're running at Frontier Fieldhouse this same night. Seems very strange for these two promotions to be going against each other.

Write a better hype paragraph and maybe I'd consider coming.
