I know they're working an angle, but it reminded me how Lana is at the top of "she's been doing this for so long, how has she not gotten any better at it yet?" list.

Factions are a good way to get more people included in angles and storylines, and since AEW has a lot of people and not a lot of TV time it seems like a good way to try to get as many people in the mix as possible. People who stop watching AEW (or any promotion really) over there being too many factions seems like a mythical being that no one has actually confirmed exists. It seems like the wrestling version of people on Twitter who have young children who suddenly have in depth political opinions (or wrestling reporters who talk to their barbers about Bad Bunny). It just doesn't seem to exist IRL.

Yeah Tamina seems to be very well liked by the other women, and she seems like a generally nice person IRL as well. It kinda sucks that she gets her dad's past attached to her as if she was helping him cover up the murder as a 6 year old.

Yeah but...I wouldn't say shit to Brock's face though. Yeah he'd face consequences but I don't think whatever settlement I'd get would be worth the probable lifetime pain and paralysis lol.

I love Daniel Bryan getting vicious and taking everyone out, but it also made me a little mad because it means they still remember how to make a strong looking babyface but for some reason largely choose not to do so.

I would think this particular title is so the people on the New Japan Strong show have something to do instead of only having tournaments?

There's zero chance AEW is going to be mentioned on the WWE Network, and even if it does it will get edited out. Austin's a good interviewer and would know it's something that has to be mentioned, but I don't see it being aired on the show. Maybe Austin will release the "Snyder Cut" version on his own.

Anything could happen, but I would bet against it going the WCW route if for no other reason being the guy in charge has specifically noted WCW as something he learned from in terms of not following the footsteps of.

It's a cool name in a vacuum, but considering his gimmick it comes off as a little tryhard: "he's a psycho who's probably a serial killer, and he's named after that serial killer from TV and the doctor from Halloween! It's GOLD Jerry!"

Well I certainly wasn't including you in that group, but go on I suppose.

Yeah an the WWE stans are always quick to point out "THEY PICKED THEIR NAMES" as if they were the ones who made the list they have to pick from.

Who cares if a name s better if you can't own the rights in perpetuity! Can't let the talent feel they can have any ownership of their likeness, dammit!

I suppose watching the last decade of WWE has caused me to have a higher tolerance for crap, but the not good stuff in AEW seems easier to bear. I suppose a lot of it comes from most of AEW's misses coming from trying new stuff that doesn't always click, which makes it easier to take.

Aries seems like every bully you run into in school who talks all kinds of shit then cries when someone gets tired of his shit and decks him.

Literally everyone involved with creative on the main roster should be embarrassed at how much better a job NXT did selling Takeover than they have done with Wrestlemania. That of course would take a level of awareness not seen by them so they won't.

"*Name of big guy* is the favorite to win this battle royale" is becoming one of my least favorite WWE tropes when I realized I don't think a big man has won one in WWE since like Andre.

Indi Hartwell being horny for Dexter Lumis is so dumb yet she makes me chuckle every time.

Also Taya coming in as "Franky Monet" reads like they saw someone posting online making fun of NXT names and took it as a compliment.

Watching NXT now and seeing that WWE produced a brand specific version of their vaccination awareness PSA for the show was some jaw dropping irony.

Yeah that looks like his sister who was doing a backstage interviewer gig for MLW, who always makes me double take because she looks so much like him.

That was wacky, and I'd understand if it wasn't someone's cup of tea, but it was fun and I liked it.

This being the main event means Miro has to be turning here, I hope?

That was a fun if not a little messy tag match

She has before, I believe.

Bringing out the AAA title is a next level troll heel move considering Kenny won it from Fenix.
