MoS

To be clear, I meant pro wrestling. I am well aware that Brisco is a far better wrestler. Also, hi, what's up! The Kiwis are gaining quite a reputation as the real chokers in cricket 😛

Also, Jon Moxley is awesome. Forever the ace of AEW.

Everything I have seen from Brisco has been tremendous, but I think, based on what I have seen, Danielson was better at more things in wrestling, and I don't think Brisco was Steamboat-esque transcendentally good at the thing he did for versatility to not be a factor.

Dynasty was the first wrestling event I have watched in many months, and my first thought was it was so much better-paced than usual AEW PPVs. All matches except the 6-man were excellent (at least to their audience). MJF retaining was the right decision imo.

Work killed me last year and pretty much gave no time for wrestling. Using GWE to get back into wrestling. There are so many new wrestlers I have discovered and/or watched more of in the last 10 years, and I am excited to rank them. At the same time, I am going to do a very boring normie thing and rate someone who made me a fan really, really high. I had ranked Steve Austin far too low last time, trying to be 'objective'. Having rewatched a bunch of his work, man is top 10 of all time as far as I am concerned, and he will rank accordingly.

Catching up on the TV. The Statlander-Yuta angle was done very well. This does mean that unless something drastic happens, Yuta is now firmly pigeonholed as a midcard guy, but not everyone can be in the main event. Also really loving Hangman's presentation as the world champ. All Out doing as well as it did despite so many stars not being on the show is a testament to how over he is.

We know damn well that they will keep trying, no matter how unhelpful and counter-productive the counter-programming is.

Way too much Don Callis tonight Love the presentation and the lighting of the main event though!

The Ace is here!

This match has gone way too long

I like it

WHOA

Yuta is such a slimy bastard

Briscoe or Kingston would be my choice

This Toni Storm video is priceless. Worth the PPV by itself

Also, I get the haters, I really do, but Jon Moxley is awesome

Jesus CHRIST Darby

Fuck yeah Mark Briscoe!

I hope we never ever find out whether Eddie still hates Claudio for real or not

This quarter has been brutal for me work-wise, this is the first wrestling show I am watching in ages. Beth Phoenix is here?!

Hangman-Mox rematch was great, did a really good job of being different from their previous one(s) while maintaining quality. They are generally doing a much better job of booking Hangman as the ace this time around, and he is rising to the occasion too. If MJF maintains his end of the deal, the imminent Hangman-MJF feud (after Briscoe gets a one-off title shot) should be excellent

Briscoe should beat MJF. In any case, MJF has that dumbass not-MITB cash-in option, so that match will still be on the table. But Briscoe deserves a main event spot challenging for the world title. He is a tremendous wrestler, an amazing promo who gets over ridiculous concepts like "Word of the day" and shit, is extremely likeable and charismatic, everything you can want in a wrestler, except perhaps age. He is far better than the lovable loser role he has been assigned.

Yeah, I think these are the finishing touches of the angle. They need to give Darby a big victory. It's such a refreshing feeling, watching AEW these days

I found it interesting how Ospreay seemed clearly a level below Swerve, both in terms of crowd reaction and in terms of positioning/booking. Being the enthusiastic younger brother is a tough spot to be in.

Also shout-out to Mox for a tremendous performance
