That won't lead to any insider betting at all

Getting back to reality (currently in Pearl Harbor, not home til Saturday) and got to watch a rip of Revolution.

Really wish I was there for that, crowd was hot as fuck, but such is life.

That main event was a fucking killer, it's absolutely insane that MJF is only 26 and able to put on a show like that.

Gerald Briscoe during the attitude era made bank doing this since there was no rules against it.

Warm wishes to him, his mother, and his family. That's goddamn rough.

Hug your moms, people.

MJF calling out Meltzer still netted him and Danielson a 5.75 for the Iron Man Match.

Hangman and Mox got a 5, which is wild considering how much Meltzer usually dislikes Death Matches

[Tomiko]

Pretty crazy how high the show was rated:

• Lucha Bros and Mark Briscoe vs Woods, Daivari and Nese: 3.5
  
• Starks vs Jericho: 4
  
• Jungle Boy vs Christian: 4
  
• HoB vs Elite: 4.75
  
• Hayter vs Saraya vs Ruby: 3
  
• Hangman vs Mox: 5
  
• Wardlow vs Joe: 2.25
  
• 4-way Tag: 3.25
  
• MJF vs Danielson: 5.75

[Melena]

Still pissed I missed Lucha Bros cause they started that match like 10 minutes into the pre-show.

Honestly amazed he rated Starks/Jericho that high. That was probably the low point match for me.

HoB vs Elite was probably my pick for match of the night. Loved the iron man match, but damn there's a reason why they rarely do those kinds of matches. The stalling for the first 5-10 minutes was riling up my section of the audience.

Meltzer to any AEW match:



ok the Revolution ratings werent that inflated, but he absolutely rates AEW and NJPW matches on a different scale compared to WWE. Like you said, Starks vs Jericho was 4 stars, cmon lol.

[Zealot]

Inflated ratings aside, it's crazy how consistently great AEW's in-ring product is. Between AEW's wrestling and WWE's stories, it's a great time for mainstream wrestling again.

Starks vs Jericho was definitely not that good

In terms of AEW vs WWE and Meltzer ratings, AEW's basic style of wrestling is very much catered to fans of NJPW and PWG, of which Meltzer very much falls under.

[Delirium]

Stardom Triangle Derby received some love from Meltz
AZM vs Starlight Kid - 4.75
Saya Kamitami vs Hazuki - 4.75
Giulia vs Maya Yuhiki - 4.5
Risa Sera/Suzu Suzuki/Kurumi Hiragi vs Ami Sohrei/Syuri/MIRAI - 4

TIL Cody Rhodes is half Cuban.

Yeah, the twits were losing their minds when AEW had him on the Hispanic Heritage Month posters lol

[Anoat]

First inductee in the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame is The Great Muta

[Vagrant]

I really wish they could have found a way to get him a surprise Rumble appearance before he finally retired.

[Zealot]

This match should be better, 5 men is too many men.

Make these dorks put their hands in your pocket Prison Dom!

Oh snap Jey and Sami bromance still possible!?

[Anoat]

I think it’s gonna end up being a Sheamus/Drew/Gunther triple threat for the IC title at Mania, Sheamus will pin Drew so Gunther can move on to Brock later and Sheamus can finally get that IC title to complete the grand slam before he retires.

Ooooooooh we’re halfway there
