The way I understood it is Elevation is there place to show off unsigned guys and/or give reps to QT and Dustin's students. Tony was on record saying the point of Dark was to give people a show to work on who couldn't get a spot on Dynamite.Logic would state the one hour show at 10pm on Fridays would have to be the B show, but if AEW has taught us anything anything is possible.

I actually love the twist on the tired WWE trope of "tag partners who don't like each other" by having them actually end up liking each other (kinda).

Randy beating Omos with a scooter had me rolling.

Randy's constant "wtf is this bullshit" face he has around Riddle will never not crack me up.

Came off like Vince using her to vent about Ric leaving.

I love that Charlotte when not in gear has to be in high heels at all times, when she already towers over every other woman they have (except Rhea maybe?).

Miz is only doing what everyone wanted to do to Morrison since he started doing all the dumb "moist" stuff.

Logan Paul getting booed out of the building restores a sliver of my tattered faith in humanity.

Sheamus and Bob SLAPPING MEAT? I would be down for that.

Scarlett didn't even show up on Takeover, she's been sent to the Phantom Zone.

Demolition at least looked like leather daddies from the S&M club that would beat your ass, this geek is one week away from a tinfoil Farooq hat.

The only person who could ever pull that look off was Sid and that was because he's fuckin SID and this geek is no Sid.

Just when you think Kross couldn't be any more of a geek, Vince is like "hold my beer, pal"

LOL WTF

Hey, WWE found a way to make "Moist TV" sound even less appealing: put Logan Paul on it!

Yeah I'm glad to see it, but it's weird to me that he's the one WWE has spared from 50/50 hell. I thought for sure he'd be done for in Vince's eyes after the back injury and here he is out here banging with Big Bob.

Bobby Lashley needs to teach a class on how to dress like a boss.

After Nikki went off on the bullshit that happened at Summerslam to Bianca, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see her show up at some point. At this point AEW is where WCW was where from a perception standpoint it was the place the wrestlers you like to watch wanted to be, which made them look like they were winning against the WWF before the numbers actually backed it up. WWE already looks super overproduced and sterile as it is, if people like Bray Wyatt and Adam Cole start showing up it will make AEW look like the cool place to be and WWE as the sinking ship everyone is fleeing from.

Yeah anyone trying to dismiss this number is either a blind WWE stan, trolling, or being contrarian for the sake of it. Some people have made WWE such a part of their identity the idea another successful national company can exist is terrifying to them, as if it invalidates their existence as people.

1.7 in the demo in Chicago, which even considering it's his home town is fucking nuts. Dude just jacked Jericho's Demo God gimmick.

Dom didn't even have a match in front of of an actual crowd until a month or so ago so it's not fair to state that he sucks yet. He's the type of person who *should* be in an actual developmental fed to learn but of course he gets fast tracked because he's probably the only reason Rey isn't in AEW right now.

1.129 million viewers for Rampage, a show that airs at 10pm on Friday nights. Holy shit.

Just watched Ilja/WALTER again, and god damn. Ilja is the greatest babyface and WALTER is WALTER, so there was very little chance it could not be awesome, but even considering that holy shit this match. Like if you just told me the finish with no context I would have said there was no fucking chance I would be able to buy WALTER of all people tapping out, but it just goes to show how being a great babyface is so important in wrestling.

Apparently per WWE sources Becky is considered to be a heel, which worked so well the last time it became their largest non-Bryan related fan rejection.

LOL @ the idea of Punk possibly being an EVP, dude publically big timed Cody at the time because he didn't think AEW would make it. He also had his hands full with other matters too, but it's been noted Punk was 100% one of the primary targets when AEW was being conceived and he turned them down flat.
