Lana is still so comically bad at wrestling it boggles the mind. She does put in the work, she moved closer to the PC and is spending all her time training, and still she looks worse in the ring than some rando they could pull out of the (currently not existing) crowd.

Tony and Britt as the foes who become BFFs was heartwarming, and Tony said if Britt won the title he's give her a hug...which everyone (well at least I did) assumed was just him playfully keeping their faux antagonism going.... then he actually did it!

Bryan wanted to spend his time putting over guys he felt deserved some wins/get a better look by the company, then they suddenly wanted him in the main event of Mania, which is why it was such a whiplash push running up to the show.

Also everyone just kind of assumed Mark Henry was still under some kind of WWE deal (I know I did) and when it turned out he wasn't they just made him an offer. He's apparently a good scout of talent as well, so it looks like it's a good signing for them.

Per Dave, Lio Rush actually signed with New Japan, but they are cool with him working in AEW for now since going to Japan is still a pain in the ass right now.

Tully being dressed to fight popped me good.

He was signed to be an announcer for the new show and to be a coach. It's fine.

Wow, Mark Henry! I thought he was a ride or die WWE guy.

Cody looking like he took one of Sting's old ring jackets.

You were right!

Lio Rush! That's a good get.

Jesus, that spray can BOUNCED off Mox's head.

The Bucks' Zubaz inspired gear is great obnoxious heelness.

Kingston and Moxley going around being bros and occasionally stopping to do violence is my favorite thing in wrestling..

Cage getting a massive pop for not cheating, wrestling is the greatest.

I know I missed live crowds but I'm getting unreasonably giddy over how great this crowd is.

He's like a modern day version of early 90s Scott Steiner: stupidly jacked guy who can move like a cat.

Cage is so great, between spending time in Mexico and being as big as a house he's the perfect base for guys to dive on.

She tried to get WIllie to stop, yeah.

Hangman = over

Cyborg Cage!

She reminds me of Dean Malenko in that way, so ridiculously good...Anderson-eqsue if you will.

Yeah Deeb vs Riho has been fantastic so far.

I don't think she's in trouble, but she was sort of caught in the blowback since she was there when it happened.

Huge pop for Riho, and all is right with the world.
