This match feels like it was booked by Heyman so far

Roman putting the table back up in Philly popped me

Damn, Cody Vs. Roman starting NOW? It's 9:45 PM. Are they going an hour & a half!?

Yeah, it's really not close. Night 1 didn't even need to happen at this point.

I kind of just want Io to retain because I think Damage CTRL is a fun stable.

That Bayley entrance was lame sadly

That Splash was INSANE

Same. Just super fun.

Please let Snoop stay all night my goodness lolol

Street Fight or not, this is the cooldown match

GHTECVTFCHHTRCVHHH OH MY FUCK

Drew deserves it.

COME ON DREW, GODDAMNIT!!

I hope the crowd sounds louder tomorrow. I assume it doesn't come across as loud on TV because it's an open air arena but I need the crowd to lose their minds when Cody wins the title.

Helluva main event goddamn

Cody ain’t a very good hot tag, eh?

Gunther has to be in the main event going after the top belt now right?

If this Gunther/Sami isn’t motn I will be shocked

I hope Damage Control wins after Jade turns on Bianca lol

That Uso match was very lackluster and they should have better chemistry than anyone. Feel like they were told to go home early.

Between Heyman putting over Hunter at the Hall of Fame, to Cole calling this the Triple H era, to Triple H coming out first & DIY dressed as D-X, this whole weekend is feeling like a big nod to The Cerebral Assassin. So, yeah Philly & the Eagles but the stage is even funnier to me now.

There's no way that Omos elimination was on purpose, right? Especially because it happened during the commercial break. I feel like they had to change things on the fly.

I've been watching WWE: Next Gen & he's one of the judges on there. It's basically just a new Tough Enough with a different name but it has been a fun, entertaining watch. It's on the Roku Channel. Paul Heyman's Hall of Fame speech was the only one that I watched but I'm glad that I watched it. It did feel pretty carny but, I mean, that makes sense. I'm more excited that WWE Shop restocked some ECW merch, so I have an ECW hat coming again. I've not had one since high school, where I wore one damn near everyday until it fell apart. So glad to get a new one.

Here's another thing, which I'm guilty of myself: Too many people want AEW to be too many different things. AEW can't be the spiritual successor to WCW, ECW, JCP, PWG, ROH, Lucha Underground & NJPW all at the same time. Yes, the roster is incredible but I feel like too many different groups of fans from different corners of the world & online want AEW to be one thing & then another, different group want it to be something else & it leads to a lot of bickering. From the jump, just because of The Elite, I feel like AEW was always going to be most similar to PWG. It felt like Cody Rhodes wanted it to be JCP. They also had Kenny Omega at the height of his Japan stardom, so people were wanting NJPW main event style. They also brought in Jericho so people were expecting Sports Entertainment. They brought in Sting, so people wanted some WCW Nostalgia. AEW has always just been trying to wear too many hats & once the initial "oh shit, new wrestling company on national cable television!" charm wore off, it has felt a little bit directionless because they don't really know what direction they're supposed to be going in. They've never really dug out their own direction or been able to say what AEW is. All of that before even getting to the AEW Vs. WWE tribalism. They've also had really shitty luck with injuries at terrible times. C.M. Punk, MJF, Adam Cole, etc. & it has thrown wrenches into their plans multiple times, not just at the main event level but when trying to built stuff too.

By lying to try to save face when getting called out.
