I think his tattoo legit derailed his career. I thought he was destined for greatness, he has everything except size. Charisma, entrance song, in-ring... decent on the mic.

Whoooo? Hoo hoooooo

EPIC

That PPV f**king ruled seriously.
The two last matchs for the Women's World Title and the Men's World Title were amazing.
Willow/Mercedes had an awesome feud. Willow got to the next level as this pure babyface you just want to root for and Mercedes got more and more insecure and crazy. The match itself was great and I love this story of Mercedes becoming more crazy than she already was because she's the Champion.

The main event was probably the best stuff I've seen this year with Okada/Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom and one of the best overall wrestling products I've seen.
The video recap of the Omega/Ospreay feud and really of all their story was awesome.
But then we had those two incredible video + entrance package for Ospreay and Omega.

Ospreay's mom talking about his son and his life, man that was emotional. Ospreay's entrance on Baba Riley meeting all of his old rivals and the persons that had a role in his career, amazing. I was so happy to see ZSJr, Michael Oku and even Ricochet. And then Swerve who has been the big brother of Ospreay in AEW and the one that beat him at Forbidden Door 2024 for the AEW title. Obviously Mox with the Flag at the end and Alex Windsor, Will's wife. But really the moment I prefered was Ospreay meeting Aussie Open. That moment with Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher, that moment is why I love Pro Wrestling. It's just a 15 seconds moment or something like that but it carries so much weight. And you know that Ospreay and Fletcher will fight over the AEW title really soon. The only thing that was missing is Hangman because Hangman and Ospreay fought last year at Double or Nothing in the Owen Hart Cup Final. Hangman beat Ospreay and thanked him after the match for helping him believe that he could beat Moxley at All In. And Ospreay helped Hangman at All In.

And let's talk about Kenny Omega video recap of his career on the My Hero Academia music narrated by All Might japanese voice actor. Man that was f**king great. Omega clearly told us what this match was about. It's All Might at the end of his peak against Midoriya, the final test, the passing of the torch.

The match obviously was fantastic. Omega was at his best, Ospreay is Ospreay. They took some nasty bumps. Omega took the Tiger Driver 91 like only him can. Ospreay powerbomb to Styles Clash transition was so so good. Obviously there was the kick out of the OWA and the crowd who was silent after the OWA was on her feet after the kick out.
I'm sad that Kenny lost because this version of Kenny Omega is one of the best wrestlers ever and he could have had a legendary run with the title but it was Ospreay's time really. And it's not even a Wembley thing. Ospreay has been phenomenal for years now and probably the best Wrestler in the World the last four years. You can't delay his World Title win in AEW again. He probably should have won the title two years ago. Last year Tony Khan made the right call, to go with Hangman and his redemption against Mox and the Death Riders. This year it had to be Ospreay's moment and it was superb.

The whole Ospreay entrance deal was incredible, one of the very best I've ever seen.


Darby vs Knight and the Takes**ta/Okada/Fletcher matches were a lot of fun too.

I agree , Mr Pdc

So Sting's kid is actually legit.
