MoS

A squash AND a promo? Am I naive for thinking they could possibly actually be listening to fans?

Is Cody advertised at all? I have heard reports that he may be out till January because of injury.

The 3rd hour of Raw got killed going against the big NFL game. Wrestling has a very finite audience right now and Meltzer keeps saying that too much wrestling on TV from all companies will burn them out. I really hope that's not the case.

Omega-Mox was also more viscerally brutal and intense than most WWE street fights/hardcore matches in the last decade, which is one reason it felt a bit excessive, although it was also the reason it was so gripping for the people who were into it.

If Jericho will be doing WK with the AEW title on him, it will be interesting to see whether he takes a pin or not.

Renee Young's twitter was the best thing about the Omega-Mox match.

Hopefully they don't have another hardcore match soon, cuz that will be way too much.

Cody-Jericho right now is my match of the year, just ahead of Cody-Dustin, and I loved everything about the match. I hope Cody is okay and he doesn't have to do that dive again, cuz it might get him really hurt one day, but as far as this match goes, it added a lot of drama to it, and the crowd being hot and both guys being super over helped. I don't see what they are doing with Jericho challenging for the tag titles, but I wouldn't mind MJF and Guevera as a tag team and part of the Inner Circle.

I did not mind the violence in Mox-Omega that much, but I can see how some people would think it's a bridge too far. I agree that it should be a long time before they do a Lights Out match again. One odd thing is that this sort of legitimises AEW's attempt to portray itself as a mature pro wrestling organisation with consequences, because in kayfabe, as soon as it became clear that Mox-Omega was going to have a lot of brutality, they made it unsanctioned and said they will not be responsible for anything. I did not like that big board with barbed wire though. Any time something as OTT as that is used, it leads to a lot of contrived, melodramatic shit and that detracts from the match for me.

I liked that they did their best to milk the big spots. They did it better than I thought they would, especially Omega, so props to him.

Mox looks and feels like a big deal. Glad he won.

Seriously, fuck JR.

They had not really developed the MJF-Cody relationship on Dynamite, in fact MJF had basically not been featured since the 2nd episode. Perhaps they felt it was pointless to drag it out. MJF on the mic should be absolute gold though, and a blood feud with Cody leading to both a grudge match and a war games match with some new star/rookie joining forces with the Elite would be good. Hopefully they execute the aftermath well.

There have been a couple of smarky chants but at least for the main event, they have been very hot so far.

Ross is actively detracting from the product for me. I'd take present day Michael Cole over present day JR.

Riho has become so over.

I like Page's theme song more than I like him.

It's like Ricky Morton heard about Cody being the best babyface in years and decided to come back.

"unarming..or disarming, whatever" is JR even trying at all

Thanks! Smelling strands of hair and keeping them as a souvenir is a bit much, but I'm always happy when Kong destroys people

I'm glad they removed Baker from the title picture.

Digging the ramp.

Anyone knows how many tickets they ended up selling?

Jericho has always talked about how being world champ for a couple of hours on Raw one night in 2000 got him over because for a brief while, he was world champ. Given Dusty's history of short reigns, maybe they feel a short title run will solidify his status as top babyface, and then the belt can go back to Jericho and Cody can later take it from him in an epic build. Perhaps MJF will turn on Cody in some kind of rematch with Jericho and Cody will transition to an MJF feud. And of course the match beyond.

I'm just glad he has changed his music and no one announces him as The Best Bout Machine anymore.
