Kittle/Penta is the best bromance in the biz right now.

Not a happy reaction to the Elite in Chicago, lol

No, it wasn't the best way to kick off the new era but I suppose at least Regal was getting heat and the whole Bryan/Mox dynamic was great.

I think MJF actually is off filming that Von Erich movie, so it wasn't them not wanting to heat things up. Also I think it's pretty clear Regal is going to return when MJF does for whatever Stage 2 of their villainous plan is.

Seems like FTR/Aussie Open is the plan based on how things are going.

I legit thought someone new was debuting for a few seconds between the gear and the hair. Also DA SHEETZ are reporting there's rumblings that Becky is going to be the fifth person for War Games, which if that's the case they better announce that on Smackdown because if not the fans are going to assume it will be Sasha returning in Boston and get pissed when it's not.

My theory is it's all a vicious cycle AEW is clearly burning out towns by running them constantly, which in turn makes the product seem less hot than maybe it would with a better crowd. Ironically one of the reasons Tony brought in Double J was for his expertise in getting buildings for shows to expand the places they run. The fans were into MJF winning, the question that remains is will there be any rejection of him not turning babyface. It was kind of funny how the crowd was not caring at all if Max cheated to win or not, they just wanted to see him win.

Watched the NJPW x STARDOM show and it was pretty good. They did a good job breaking down the stables/angles/titles for people unfamiliar with STARDOM and of course KAIRI brought it in the main event. Of course the biggest news was Kenny Omega appearing (on screen) after the US title match and challenging Will Ospreay for WK.

Well since MJF is still a heel, there's a program right there for Wardlow. At least we can be reasonably sure the blow off won't get fucked up again.

YES

This is some straight up Ric Flair/Dusty Rhodes stuff with the knee work and I love it.

Mox clearly loving being able to play heel here.

Time for BIG MATCH MAX

Looks like there was some asshole getting ejected in the crowd, which took everyone's attention.

Shoutout to Bowens, who by all accounts has been kayfabing his injury in public all week.

There's knowing Keith Lee is huge, and there's seeing his fist was like twice the size of Swerve's.

Yeah she looks good, but the Marylin Monroe cut is an odd choice for a punk rocker.

Newark gonna burn the building down if Hayter doesn't win.

That Coffin Death Drop should be Sting and Darby's tag finisher.

Darby is STINGING UP!!

If Satnam is like..coordinated AT ALL dude is going to be money.

Yeah the only problem Sting ever had was Dick Slater beating his ass over Dark Journey.

Double J does look pretty good for a dude his age, its like he ages at half speed.

JR getting benched mid PPV, wow.

Woods dying in the background will always be my favorite part of that.
