FINISH OF BLOOD & GUTS, WHY AEW FILMED AT KOWLOON, BOBBY CRUISE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-07-20 00:11:00

The storyline of the Blood and Guts finish was that Moxley submitted in order to save Wheeler Yuta.  The idea was that Blackpool Combat Club had been outnumbered because those they enlisted to help - PAC and Takeshita - exited and weren't loyal while The Elite were all united, which made all the difference.

Jon Moxley wore a Jun Kasai shirt in the ring during the cage match.

After AEW went off the air, Kota Ibushi acknowledged the crowd and took a bump into the tacks, because, well, he's insane, I guess!

The restaurant Adam Cole and MJF filmed at is the famous Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus, MA, a long-time hangout for professional wrestlers when they tour the area.  There are TONS of photos of talents on the walls and often, WWE's roster will be given a private room to eat and congregrate after events there.  It's been a long-time staple for the New England area when groups tour locally.  The current restaurant, which seats around 1,200, will be bulldozed for a new building that will include a 350 seat new version of the restaurant in the years to come as they have made a deal to sell the property it sits on to turn it into an apartment complex.  I've been to the place in the past with the legendary Sheldon Goldberg and the food was always excellent, so if you are ever in the area, make it a point to visit.

Bobby Cruise, who is local to Boston, did the dark match ring announcements before Dynamite went on the air.

AEW was selling a special "Blood and Guts - I Was There" t-shirt last night as well in Boston as a special poster for the Blood and Guts Dynamite event.   They were also selling foam "Scissor Me" fingers, AEW action figures, a company hoodie, as well as Elite, Adam Cole, MJF and Acclaimed t-shirts.

We are told the TDGarden was pretty much full for the tickets that AEW put on sale.
