AEW Grandslam Australia Review.
Intro.
Ok everyone it's singalong with Patrick time. Da na na na na, you you know we belong together. AEW will visit Australia for now and forever and ever. And from the very first day of their existance, some fans had never felt such emotion, they were walking on air, just to know, that an alternative wasn't near it was here. Lets hold AEW in our arms, and never let them go. I want them to stay forever, closer each day. AEW is better than Home And Away. Thanks everyone, my name is Patrick O'malley and i'm here all week. I love the fact that AEW has gone Down Under. Global Expansion is key for any business, whether you're a content creator, or a wrestling company, yes the planning around this event has beyond awkward, and badly planned. I feel that every company makes mistakes, and this is something that Tony Khan will learn from, however I think there is more to story than dodgy planning from both sides.
Konosuke Takeshista And Kyle Fletcher vs Will Osperay vs Kenny Omega.
One of the main complaints that I have come across whilst writing this review, was to do with the size of the ring. I don't agree with the complaints, and didn't find it distracting. In any fact, I feel it elevated some matches, and this was one of them. I loved this Match, it had a solid flow, the near falls, and team work from both teams, blended in nicely with the Matches within the Match. They were a real look through the looking glass, at how you put together a well created masterclass in Tag Team wrestling. The exchanges were awesome, and they built to one hell of a finish. Omega, and. Osperay got the win with an insane One winged angel, and hidden blade combo finish, the visual of this finish looked incredible. Kenny Omega vs Konosuke Takeshista for the AEW international Championship, and. Will Osperay vs Kyle Fletcher in a steel cage Match at Revolution, yes please AEW.
Mercedes Mone vs Harley Cameron AEW Womens TBS Championship.
I had fun with this. From the solid in-ring, puppet fun, that Mercedes didn't find funny, to the near falls being perfectly woven into the match, however after a series of decent exchanges. Mercedes got the win, and retained her belt.
Brisbane Brawl Adam Copeland And Jay White vs Jon Moxley And Claudio Castagnoli.
From fans chanting explicitives at Moxley. Adam Copeland taking in the fans singing back Metalingus back to him, to the all out bloodstained plunder carnage. The table spots were great. Cope taking out Claudio from the top of an exit, and Jay White no selling wheeler Yuta whipping him like a goverment mule, to Mox getting the win by choking out Copeland. I liked this, and had a great time watching it at 10PM here in the UK.
Buddy Mathews vs Kazuchika Okada AEW Continental Championship.
This. Was. A mental game of chess, that turned into a lofi burner of a Match. From Okada getting called an explicitive, that turned into a fan chant. The Match was carried out in steps, and phases, and as they played out. I found it captivating, yes this wasn't the best Match on the card, but it was enjoyable. Okada retained his belt after he hit his rainmaker finisher on Buddy.
AEW Womens World Championship Marieh May vs Toni Storm.
This. Was. A lot of fun, from Luther ushering in the past, that gave way to a oscar winning performance by Toni. From old school to new school. What both ladies managed to craft out, was something that can act as a memory that the Australian fans can take home with them. Toni Storm is now a 4 time AEW World Womens Champion. The image that went around of her online, celebrating with fans in the aftermath, was a nice thing that you don't normally see in wrestling. This. Was. A great way to send the show off the air.
Overview Of AEW GrandSlam Australia.
From the card, to the overall reception from fans. I thought this was the definition of a back to basics wrestling show, all killer, with very little filler. Storylines progressed nicely, and the in-ring work was awesome.
AEW Australian Grandslam is a very high 9/10.
