And now a bad nod to Edge's first MitB cash-in on Cena

That was such a bad rip-off of/"tribute" to the Foley-Edge spot from WM 22

Julia Hart is my guilty pleasure, I love her shtick

oh fuck this shit

Dying at the fane loving Big Bill destroy Sammy the returning babyface hero and new father

He nearly broke a beloved legend's leg, and 10,000 people are delightedly chanting "Swerve's house". That world title belt needs to go to Swerve as soon as possible

It's really Swerve's house

The crowd is dead for this

Claudio just blows me away with how ridiculously strong he is. He is ten times stronger than he looks, and he looks extremely strong

FWIW, this is not a new allegation. Plus rumours about Jericho's casting couch go back at least a decade, far far before AEW existed. Hell the original DVDVR sleaze thread had some Jericho stories

Wasn't his best buddy Don Callis forced out of Impact cuz of multiple sexual abuse accusations

Yeah, they absolutely have to put the belt on Swerve no later than the first PPV of 2024. He will be a babyface by then just by sheer popularity. Babyface Swerve v. heel Starks would be money

She won't be, but I really think Athena should be a strong contender for all the Wrestler of the Year awards. She is brilliant and she has been brilliant throughout this reign.

Mox should absolutely not have beaten Swerve, regardless of the trunk-grabbing (and Swerve's shoulders not even being on the mat)

I found it an entertaining trainwreck, except for Omega was who just terrible. I actually prefer unscripted trainwrecks like this to scripted promos and segments, which most of the time range from banal and boring to awful and irredeemable in my opinion. What happened yesterday I can live with, cuz like I said, I find it entertaining to watch, even if the entertainment is not intentional.

Danielson had my favourite Andrade match in years, the GOAT. Starks and Bill should squash the "Golden Jets" in 5 seconds with a double pin

Collision was awesome. Pretty much everything ruled. I remain irrationally invested in the feud between Miro and his hot flexible wife

Man. He is so so fucking good. At every aspect of pro wrestling. He really is the greatest wrestler to have ever lived.

I just think they have caught lightning in a bottle with Swerve, and now they need to go all the way with it. If it means that this tournament drags for a week, then so be it. I don't think any of us expected Swerve to get as over and as good as he has, but now that he has, I think you tear up the conventional playbook and elevate him even if it puts a spanner in your other plans

I think Swerve absolutely has to go over Mox

Coach Tony K, you better understand just what a gem you have with Eddie Kingston. And push him accordingly. I have said this before, but he is way too good to be the loveable loser Tony Dreamer of AEW: - his ceiling is several kilometres higher. Along with Starks and Swerve, he is the guy who should be in long-term booking plans for winning the world title in a couple of years

I get the context, I understand what you are saying. I still think it is a gross thing to say for a 75-year old halfway between human life and cadaver. But it is no surprise that Flair said it, given that, as you pointed out, he has been saying shit like this since 1976. Which is why I think it is on AEW and Tony Khan to not realise and understand this, and to still give him a live mic for a promo, knowing, if nothing, his history of promos. TK knew what he was getting into, and he chose to do so anyway.

AEW is amazing, just on account of matches we saw today alone. And given the ticket sales for All In 2, it is not going anywhere, much as that might disappoint some people with parasocial relationships to WWE (all you need to do is browse Elon Musk's Twitter to understand what I am talking about)

Jesus CHRIST Bryan. What a fucking match
