MoS

Orton was excellent. Also, props to WWE for finally booking McIntyre like they should book babyface challengers in general - tough and smart and really good. Brock when he gives a shit is excellent, and the way he sold for McIntyre really put over Drew as a legit threat. I really hope they pull the trigger on Drew at WM.

Thanks guys, that's good to know. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Vince tries to purchase the classic footage from the TV station at least.

Will that mean all the AJ classics on YouTube will be taken down? There will still be ways to watch them, of course, but them being on YT have made them so accessible.

Some wholesome content for the day -

My personal top 3 of the show is 1) Allin v. Sammy; 2) Cassidy v. Pac; and 3) Jericho-Mox. I think the crowd really elevated Darby-Sammy to another different level.

I thought the commentators did a good job of saving the spot. Darby is so good at selling and garnering sympathy that botches don't seem too jarring to me. That pop when he hit the Coffin Drop was ridiculous.

I loved the show overall. The main event was great, Pac-Cassidy was great, Guevera-Allin was awesome. I thought Cody-MJF was fine - and I don't think it's their first match - and all the other matches were solid. They also did a great job of building storylines further and creating interest in what's going to happen next. AEW are stumbling here and there but they are definitely on the right path imo.

I don't know if I agree with the decision to put the world title on Mox, but he is def a big draw and at least for the night, it was the right decision because the crowd was bummed by MJF and Pac winning. I loved this match. Jericho put over Mox big time, credit to le (former?) Champion for that.

I absolutely loved this match. This crowd being so hot has really helped make this event feel special.

I think Cassidy is actually quite good at both bumping and showing fire in a comeback. I am not surprised at all that he is as over as he is.

This is the first time Pac has truly looked and felt like a bastard. I am liking this match.

This match could have been better, but as the first match of a feud, I thought it was fine and served its purpose well.

That Brandi spot was contrived and not needed imo.

I don't mind stuff like that. It's a new promotion- treating its stars like stars at every opportunity is crucial. Someone dropped a Steve Austin reference on commentary and it was not JR. What a world we live in.

I liked the women's title match a lot. Nyla is becoming really really good.

The match went a bit too long for me, but Page got made today imo. The fans made it clear that they were behind him and he is their guy.

The Bucks got massively booed for dropping Page on the head on that ramp.

This is the best Omega match I have watched in a long long time.

They absolutely cannot turn Page heel.

That reaction to Darby.....

That armbar is getting a bigger reaction than his dive through the ropes

I also like how Vince gave them a really cool-sounding catchphrase while criticising them.

Darby is awesome and so ridiculously over

I have no idea who thought it was a good idea. The match was really good though.
