Cage/Schaff is what a big guy/power match should look like. Cage putting over the local talent with a great back and forth match. That's a good way to start out elevation. I'll take more of this.

[@johnpooperton]

@@James-if3kc probably based on stats reflecting where people choose to tune in. Info likely pulled straight from KZbin. Or it's possible, that based on how the other shows were booked at the same taping, the decision was made so that Claudio didn't have to work matches so close together or amongst a visually thinning crowd. AEW Dark sometimes happens after Dynamite/Rampage and an additional Dark taping, that's about 5 hours of wrestling getting done at around 10/11pm. People are tired and have/want to go home. You're welcome.

[@emeraldaly7646]

I was at this show! It was a great crowd, great atmosphere. Obviously Darby winning the TNT belt on Dynamite was the highlight of the night, but the Elevation matches were tons of fun too. The Bollywood/Kingdom match actually went on first, but other than that these matches are all in the order they happened. The first two were before Dynamite, the other nine came after. The match between Best Friends and Luther/Serpentico ended with an Orange Cassidy appearance, at which point Chuckie T and Trent left the ring. I thought maybe that would be part of the show, since it's a storyline that's been on TV. After that happened, Kip Sabian, The Butcher, and The Blade came out and surrounded the ring with Orange and Danhausen in it, until Tony Khan came out and said "Nah nah nah we're saving this match for Friday in Portland." That part certainly wasn't gonna be on a show that didn't hit KZbin till Monday! At the end, Orange and Danhausen hugged it out, since as Orange put it, "I usually hug my friends, but my friends left" along with Bryce Remsburg, who put on Danhausen's mumu and hat 😂 It was apparently Bryce's birthday as well.

Grande Bandido !!

[@TheMickytheboss]

Literally every match was on point. From beginning to end.

[@James-if3kc]

"Literally". "On point". Why didn't you say it was a "banger", or "fire"? C'mon, show me how much of a brainwashed sheep you are with all those internet buzzwords. Polly want a cracker?

[@Gh0stGaminginc]

No stories...jobber squashes...dork "humour"...fucking boring

[@KairosObj]

Yea I dunno about the last match but yea the others were noice.

Going to miss the dueling tunnels, it was iconic during the no crowd shows we got in the midst of lockdown

[@minionx23]

That intro with Matt Hardy, and Ethan Page, was hilarious 😂😆 I'm glad to see Ethan Paige, getting more screen time.

[@E7N1NE3]

Bandido is a work of art with impressive strength… Josh Woods needs a single’s push once Varsity Athlete’s make a better name for themselves

[@James-if3kc]

They should just be called "The Wrestlers".

[@emeraldaly7646]

Tony Nese is a charisma vacuum. I didn't even want to boo him, he just doesn't make me feel anything. Haven't seen enough of Woods (and certainly not enough of him separate from Nese) to know how I'd like him as a single.

[@DrEarbuds]

Josh Woods and the first match stole the show . This was a Great Showing by AEW

[@noerosas7691]

Awesome first match by Cage and thr local talent.

[@James-if3kc]

Bullshit nothing match that was forgotten as soon as it was over.

[@Thomas-der-Zweite]

Paul White has improved so much in commentary over the last year. - also good teaming with Daddy Magic 👍

[@jimmyj7816]

Very good episode of Elevation. Mostly entertaining matches, storylines being developed which gives wrestlers something to do. Every wrestler on the roster is important if they're not working a program at the moment on Dynamite or Rampage then have then work a storyline, start a feud, or work a good fun match on Elevation or Dark. Anything is better than only having squash matches. Hopefully this can be what Elevation/Dark becomes in 2023.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@kreed82]

Can you explain who they are, what they are about?

[@emeraldaly7646]

Honestly, attending the show, that was one of the only down points for me. I thought they looked pretty inconsistent with what I was expecting. They 100% worked face for the match (Brody even came out the "good guy" door), and they had a highly competitive match with three dudes who never make TV. They've been positioned for a "declaring war on AEW" storyline on TV, and if that means that they take out *everybody*, face or heel, then that could work. Haven't really gotten that sense though and it still makes three dudes with no credibility giving them a highly competitive match a bit of a head scratcher.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

@@emeraldaly7646 I agree, I am also perplexed by how much offence they let the trios of jobbers have: I think HoB should have simply dominated and squashed the Wingmen in a couple of minutes, not allowing them any comeback. It's the same problem I used to have with Adam Cole: he was positioned as a main event guy before the injury, yet he kept having competitive matches even with jobbers and low-midcarders. But at least he had the excuse of being a cowardly heel, while HoB should just be unstoppable monsters.

[@KableLudbolt]

Hardy and Isaiah almost breaking from Egon saying 'You bedazzle my ass' was tops.

RE claudio's promo... where's this claudio been hiding for a decade?? that was great

Great card, good matches, the crowd was awesome! Christopher Daniels vs Bandido was my favorite though. Bandido vs Takeshita is going to be amazing some day.

Man I love House of Black

[@metalbangerbible5443]

Fantastic episode. Possibly my favourite ever of Elevation. Hot crowd, matches given time, local guys got to do their thing which made for better matches. Some good backstage promos and I’m really loving the chemistry Big Show and Daddy Magic have on commentary. Schaff impressed me and I’d expect him to get another look in the future!

[@anthonyortiz5010]

Ethan page is wild lol I like the whole starting over the music thing was awesome

[@James-if3kc]

Makes no sense. Whole angle is cheap and pathetic.

The Butcher is the most intimidating dude with glasses that I've seen this year.

[@jakewithonions]

Cage VS Schaff reminds me of the stuff I REALLY liked during the pandemic. I would watch Dark just to see these local talents get decently long matches! We need more matches like Cage V Schaff!

[@allahcT]

Daniels VS. Bandito should have been the main event.

[@AdrianPerez-vr7bh]

Why isn't Josh Woods in the BCC already? It would fit in perfectly

[@jeffreyk5734]

Honestly Josh Woods or "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams in Black Pool Combat Club makes way more sense than Wheeler Yuta as a member. I like Josh, but have always been a bigger fan of Hot Sauce. Not many guys are going to just out wrestle him. That's why Tracy was part of "The Foundation" in ROH. Williams challenging Yuta for the Pure title needs to happen.

[@jaimeperez8486]

Truly impressed with the Claudio vs Woods match. I hope they get a feud going.

[@jeffreyk5734]

Claudio said on Fightful that he wanted to defend the ROH title against a bunch of guys that have never had a World Championship shot before. If that goes for the old ROH roster I hope that includes people like "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, Rhett Titus, Mark Haskins, Fred Yehi, Flamita, Tony Deppen and Rust Taylor among others. All of these guys except for maybe Flamita could potentially challenge for the ROH Pure Title too. Only Yehi has previously wrestled for that Championship after winning the Pure Gauntlet over Wheeler Yuta. And don't laugh, but Mike Bennett was also very impressive in the ROH Pure Division. Challenged Gresham for the belt in Mid 2021.

[@James-if3kc]

Tell it to Cocaine Khan.

[@jeffreyk5734]

I want to see Claudio or Yuta defend against "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams. Give him 20-25 minutes and "Hot Sauce" can work a classic with either of them. I think that Tony Deppen would be a great opponent for the Pure title too. It's just that Williams and Yuta have so much history.
