Drew Mac popping up like a horror movie villain while Taker was Taker-ing was a pretty neat visual.

Not sure where you trained is going to help when you get kicked in the dome, but okay.

Britt Baker confirmed she got concussed in her match.

I'm sure she would get the HHH/Brock "Wellness doesn't apply because reasons" pass.

IIRC it was all about the frog splash in that game.

Also I'm having a moment here realizing I used to play as CIMA in Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 on my N64.

In a company that wants to stress the importance of wins and losses, I just can't buy for a second that Kenny is going to lose here.

I agree. I never saw them before today and was impressed at their ability but they need a new gimmick badly.

My thought was "mini Ray Rowe and every fat jobber in a mask from the 80s"

KONG FIGHT

It's almost like it was all a ruse.....

LA Park should do a run in and kill Shawn Spears for stealing the Chairman gimmick.

It kinda works when you figure part of the story is the heel team doesn't like each other.

Someone pressed the button to make closed captions available to everyone instead of just those who enabled it.

Yup

First time seeing Bea in action, I'm guessing Will Ospreay doesn't start any arguments at home.

Riho out here proving that the "tiny person who takes a beating but always fights back" is one of those things that never won't get over in wrestling.

Goddamn, Dustin is awesome.

I like how they have the crowd/stage set up. Has all the elements needed in modern wrestling (ramp/big screen) in a style that looks different than anywhere else.

Plus JR has been miles improved from his time in New Japan. AEW might not be 100% his ideal, but it's way closer than anything he's done recently.

Man.....how many times did we see the ad for "The Night The Line Was Crossed" on ECW TV? That show has Last Battle of Atlanta level mythos to me.

Not to sound like Dave here, but that just exposes you have no idea what the point was to run an event at CEO was and it makes you sound like one of the dummies on Twitter who thinks the greatest wrestlers in history all came after 1996. Jebailey wasn't just some geek to that crowd, he's a star. So was Justin Wong, and him handing over a fight stick to use as a weapon was a pop moment for that crowd. I really don't see anything wrong with working for the crowd you're in front of. If they start doing some WCW shit and make him champ, that's different.

Honestly this is like young people saying Memphis is shit because they don't understand the context of the wacky stuff that went on there sometimes. And that's fine. Just don't get upset when the people who do know what all that means point it out to you.

Kenny and Brandi are booking the women, and Kenny is a big fan of hers.

People keep clowning on the Jebailey stuff, but he's a big name in the gaming world, his "Jebaited" emote is global on Twitch (which means it was popular enough for all of Twitch to use it rather than just his subscribers) and there's a growing connection between wrestling and gaming. To continue to dismiss it comes off as "I don't follow it therefore it sucks" at best and "old man yelling at the kids on his lawn" at worst. I get it if it's not your cup of tea, but to dimiss it because you don't follow it or aren't in the loop is the same kind of shit we get on Vince about for being out of touch.
