I think there’s this weird tendency for guys in AEW to quasi-shoot because they like the idea of adding realism to promos, but then they actually don’t follow through on booking. Just having a bunch of zingers does not a program make.

COVID cases are at an all time high in Japan, hitting 300k currently active in the last few days. Have to imagine that, along with some of the changes that have happened, are affecting it.

Pretty standard stuff: set up Ospreay/Aussie Open for the semis to set up Ospreay/Omega for WK, then get the dream match finals against House of Black. Then you get UE after.

It’s Omega. It’s always been Omega. They had to throw Page in there to align a big name. Then you get UE to stand off at All Out to build to the next PPV.

Again, the price didn’t go up due to product changes. It went up because a sale is anticipated as Vince said he’d never sell.

Really hope we see some Notalgic acts tonight to bump a number.

He’s not, but he absolutely should be. There’s some pretty good stuff, have to imagine Punk comes back tonight.

Hope Danielson tortures a dude in true LeBell style tonight.

I’m not excusing the behavior. Just that the tweet above is absolutely correct.

If only pro wrestling wasn’t a morally reprehensible business in basically every way.

Could buy a lot of jackhammers.

Rhea choking out Rey’s son with her thighs: a truly Dom gimmick.

Who’s gonna do the bad Olivia Newton-John impression tonight? My money is on Rollins.

Yeah, forgot to put that part.

Inoki put Vader over by getting basically no offense in and letting him squash him in 4 minutes. This was a competitive match that went 22. It’s a good piece of booking for the tournament and will lead to a title shot or another big singles match but there hasn’t been a match like that in Japan in literally decades.

The sequencing in this match has been weird. A lot of slow-motion portions in lieu of communication, it seems.

JamIe Hayter. Cowboy Hat emoji.

Billy Gunn was fine.

Kross being back to be Paul’s avatar now that he’s for sure done in ring, maybe not all his new ideas are great.

Some sloppiness, but I’d see that match again.

Mance is laying in those punches, man. This has been a fun opener.

There was a Battlebots commercial tonight, congrats to TK on getting the TNN deal.

Omega’s return is as simple as the Bucks wanting in to the tourney and then saying they have a third in mind. Next week? Boom. Omega.

Jungle Boy interferes to get Matt his win back. Not a lot doing it for me this week.

One other question: if you sign out, what’s the easiest way to sign back in on mobile?
