I popped for Maria back on TV that matters, and Seth's "ya'll done messed up" line.

Guess someone saw Private Party at Fyter Fest and decided the Street Profits need to be fast tracked.

Also did Drake marry Jasmine from Aladdin?

Having Joe and Kofi running out without their theme music playing was different for WWE, seems like a lot of little changes so far.

Considering the kind of show it will be, Fight for the Fallen has to have a completely different approach. Doing comedy on a show raising money for victims of gun violence would be an amazingly bad read on their part and I wouldn't expect it to happen.

This. One of the things I like about AEW is they don't seem to be afraid to try shit, some of which isn't going to work of course. It's getting kind of silly to see some people act like anything that falls flat means AEW is the new TNA. Also until the TNT show starts, the only vehicle they have to further storylines is the Being the Elite show. It's also silly to see people get mad that they do stuff on shows that is meant for the BTE audience. Of course they do, it's like getting mad at WWE for doing something on one of their PPVs that was built on Raw.

So apparently the chair Cody took to the head was supposed to be gimmicked so the seat came off, and it didn't go according to plan.

They need to go full FMW and have the ring explode to end the show.

I popped for Kenny Raging Demon'ing that dude.

"Getting pinned" is an acceptable use of Jimmy Havoc in my book.

Agreed, so far it's been the biggest weakness I've seen so far. I suppose the argument can be made no one really cares about preshows, but theirs have been particularly not good.

Who's just turned 37 last week.

Jungle Boy reminds me of how so many territories had the cute young guy to draw the female fans, and how WWE will never have that since guys have to spend 6 years in developmental learning how to work to the hard cam.

Meanwhile, MJF out here showing all these geeks how it's done.

Depends if they run a show at one of their friend's major gaming events I suppose.

I mean, guys, I don't think Alex Jebailey is going to be doing matches on TNT. I think people are getting way to MAD ONLINE at something designed for the audience they are in front of tonight.

Took a bit to get going, but that turned in to a nice little match there. Liked the story of the bigger person taking the littler ones not serious enough and it cost her.

I had a blip or two in this match but it's been largely fine. Watching on an iPad via the BR site.

Yeah sure, sounds like the crowd views this promotion as the heel here.

I figure she's there the same way Kane is put in ladder matches, someone for the smaller folks to do moves on.

OK, bye then? (directed at PeteF3 up there)

TBH I liked it better than anything Shane's been involved in. At least there was self-awareness that it was silly.

This isn't bad for what it is. I wasn't expecting match of the night from these guys.

No, but he's actually put effort into not embarrassing himself.
