I'm gonna say there's a 98% chance Britt Baker's knee is fucked.

Yeah, hopefully it's nothing serious but wouldn't be shocked at all if they pulled her match with Statlander from the card on Saturday.

just read that they think it’s a torn acl. But no mri yet.

That wouldn't be shocking. It sucks for her because she was doing real well with the heelish persona she had been developing. I guess if they want to replace her in the match, they can go with Penelope Ford.

Double or Nothing updates;

Britt Baker has been pulled from the show (not surprising). They will talk about her injury tomorrow during the show (gotta think that means its bad). Penelope Ford will replace her

Rey Fenix has been pulled from the Ladder Match. His injury is not a serious long term injury, but he won't be ready for this show. Joey Janela will replace him

Figured Ford would be the one replacing Baker. Probably a torn ACL would be my guess, which would be at least be a 9-12 month recovery I'd imagine.
Fenix must be worse off than I imagined if he's not going to be on the card. That guy has worked through numerous injuries before. So him being out must mean he's in a lot of pain. Janella replacing him doesn't surprise me too much as I was figuring it'd be probably either him or Havoc.
Hopefully Matt Jackson's rib isn't as bad as originally thought.

 

[The Q]

That was a pretty good ending for dynamite.

did all those guys essentially stay home for the virus until the ppv?

Regarding Fenix, I read a report last night (can't remember where) that said he was actually cleared medically to compete but AEW officials decided it wasn't worth it to push it. They probably know he's batshit insane and he'd do some crazy shit off the ladder and just hurt himself some more.

Pretty much , yes. Bucks and Hangman quarantined basically the entire time. SCU stayed in Cali for most of it as well but did come in for the taping a couple weeks back. Pac and Pentagon are stuck in their countries however. I guess Fenix must live in the states seeing as he got out but his brother stayed. Or maybe Pentagon chose to stay home willingly

I give both companies credit. With partial rosters and no crowds, they’ve put some good stuff out there.

It’s wild that he and his brother haven’t had the tag titles yet.

I dont like the smalll guys all that much and I still find those 2 wildly entertaining.

No doubt, that’s why I was very shocked to see him off the card for tonight. But with all the other injuries, I guess they’re trying to play it safe instead of losing someone of his caliber.

 

[Judge Fudge]

That Shad Gaspard thing was low.

Have a picture of the man. Not what FUCKING KILLED HIM.

 

[wildturkey]

That Stadium match was dumb as hell. I loved it

 

[wildturkey]

So Baker's injury is a broken tibia and a partial LCL tear. Yeah, she's gonna be out a looooong time

 

[UVA_Guy81]

I've watched up until the Nyla/Shida match and will finish the rest tomorrow. So far, my favorite match was MJF vs Jungle Boy, which exceeded my expectations. I feel like the order of the matches after the MJF match should've been reorganized. I probably would've put the Nyla vs Shida match on after MJF, than the Dustin-Spears match, then I would've done the Cody-Archer match and then the Ford-Statlander match before the final two.

That was some ninja shit by Hangman.

I didn't watch the show but as a general critique I'm not a fan of both Archer and Brodie Lee losing their first major match in the company. Especially Archer.

I agree. Neither really should’ve been put in that position.

 

[The Q]

When does are put the ppv on YouTube? I know they did it last time.

I don't think it hurts either of them. Especially Lee, who went out like a boss. Mox hit him with basically everything and then Lee passed out, not pinned or tapped.
