    I think that would have been a good angle but I hope they now disprove Lee won because Cody was burnt out. Sure its great that he fights every week and they're making it a consequence but Brodie should be able to best Cody 100% not just fatigued.

    Kenny and Pac messed that match up with one botch. Was so close to perfection as you said.


    Did you see NXT?
    Dethroning Lee was bs. Gave away his NA title and then kept this one

    I'm just finding it harder and harder to take jericho serious. Hes almost a gimmick to me at this point and that's not where I want him to be. What's next? Viagra on a pole match? Enzo in a shark cage? They really need to tread carefully in that territory lest they fall into some corny s--- they cant scrape off from underneath their heel

    I hadn't watched if but I read the results. Kind of s-----y considering that there may have been an injury lol and I'm tired of wrestlers not getting their shine when they deserve it. One of my biggest issues with Kenny's reign in japan was I sincerely think they gave it to him bc they had s feeling he was leaving. His reign left so much to be desired and I have trouble believing it was only bc he was no longer chasing the belt. Everything just seemed off with that reign

    In regards to their rubber match on second viewing I think the ref f----- up by not counting out omega. He was clearly in after the count in addition to being helped by the bucks. Missed opportunity to throw in some real life consequences to missing your mark. Great match regardless

    I think my only issue with the dark order is the underlings. I find it hard to care about them when all I see is masks for the most part. I know that they're just Cannon fodder for the most part but they're hella cohesive as a unit and evil uno and stuff grayson are fantastic imo. Great tag team and a very interesting power dynamic all across that group. I'd love to see some more in depth character work across the board.

    Do you think they may be teasing a break up with scu? Scorpio sky has got to be on the verge of a solo run and kazarian was kicking it by himself during one of the matches last week I think. Cant remember if it was a single or tag though

    Last edit then I'm going to bed*
    Just rewatched the tag between the bucks and page/omega. I would have loved to see the blow off of that whole angle had covid not hit. That lingering buckshot lariat literally gave me anxiety even though I knew he wasn't hitting it. It sucks bc I think theyll revisit it but it wont be anywhere near as impactful as it should have or could have been

    @Raziel they made Brodies finisher look strong AF. I love that. We don't have emougj protected finishers.

    SCU breakup defintley being teased.

    Hopefully the TNT title causes internal struggles with the Dark Order too.

    Yeah I agree about his finisher looking amazing especially since I've watched alot of japanese wrestling in the past 3-5 years and learning to appreciate lariats. I think AEW does a pretty good job of protecting most finishers. I read an interview or an article from scott hall saying how if he wasnt winning he wasnt using his finish and that was mind blowing in its simplicity. It's hard for me to take a cross Rhodes seriously when scorpio sky is kicking out of it on a Wednesday night when he has no prior main event matches aside from maybe one? I will say this though, they spam TF out of canadian destroyers and stunners and it's always in the same broadcast lol s----s weird to me. Also, the toungbucks need to ditch their indytaker and whatever else tombstone piledriver moves they use, they look weak af. My 10 year old with the most basic of wrestling knowledge saw the indytaker to hangman from All Out and she straight up asked me "why did he need help to do that? It didnt look strong " s--- made me smile bc I was literally thinking the same thing

    As far as dissension in the ranks I don't see how that would progress very far especially for 3,4,5 and 10. I imagine they'd fade into obscurity on dark. I think we'd need more character development to even care about anything happening. I dk why but I find evil uno to be very interesting. His mannerisms, the way he moves. The attention he demanded and then he just kinda moved to the side, it makes me think he has some long game planned or hes alot bigger than he lets on.

    @Raziel apparently Cody is taking some off. They're still making a big deal of the rankings which I love. I don't see MJF dethroning Mox, I don't see a clean finish though and it would be possible.

    I'd be a little disappointed if he did dethrone him. Hes champion material but like mox said, "not today". I cant imagine what mox would be doing after losing? Hes on a whole other level from the rest of the roster outside of a handful of guys

    I just read that Marty scurll was called out in the speaking out movement. I really hope hes not a piece of s---. What are your thoughts on him, velveteen dream and havoc? Any particular guy you cant believe?

    Man, tonight was d--- good. The tag team gauntlet was pretty great and I cant wait to see Trent get a solo run. Love the story progression between FTR and the elite. Ngl I'm kinda uninterested in FTR, they seem overrated to me. Aews women's division is so f---ing bad, comparable to wwf/wwe in the 90s and 00s. I really hate colt cabana btw. The dark order stuff was mostly good but some of it was kinda head scratching. Aew needs to pace their show better, this was another rushed main event imo due to time restraints

    I am going to go watch the show now. Will report back soon

    I really don't know about these situations. Whether than were encouraged or whatever else. It's very complicated. I think Dream is guilty but he's one of my favourite up and comers so that's a d--- shame.

    I hate that he probably is but what confuses me the most about him is hes still in the company and being pushed like he never left. Whenever enzos s--- came out he was gone no questions asked. I dont even think he had anything proven against him

    Hunter came out and said nothing was found so who knows . Enzo is seemingly doing well on the indies. I just finished the Mox and MJF segment. Really good. I'm so excited for this match.

    I am interested in them playing off creative Mox too. I think Mox pulls it off but barely due to shenanigans

    Either that or to get involved in the match. I cant see wardlow sticking around for too long tbh, the first time mjf crosses a line personally or physically I dont see wardlow just taking it and mjf isnt going to attack alone

    It's crazy that it's next week. WWE have another PPV today. It feels like overkill.
