Miz sucks as a wrestler and his facial expressions are some of the worst in wrestling history. I am not going to grade him on a curve just because he doesn't injure himself every time he wrestles on account of being the worst athlete in WWE today, and probably in its history. His smug face alone is shittier than anything MJF has ever done - he looks like he is taking a shit and likes its smell. Not to mention a propensity to not be in position to catch wrestlers doing topes. He has been wrestling since 2006 and is still shit. EDIT - sorry for the harsh tone. I am in a horrible mood. Our women are absolutely shitting the bed against Australia in the cricket women's world cup semi-final and it is physically painful to watch.

You can't just leave us hanging high and dry like this

While I would much prefer Cody's JCP version, JCP faces did not exactly resist turning heels and cutting long rambling promos about it even when the fans were demanding it

That was actually a very good little match. and a really hot post-match angle. Hangman's getting his swag back, and I love it

Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal winning the match after beating a bunch of popular AEW teams is the shits. Jarret is so fucking mid. TK keeps talking about how he has learnt that you cannot let people manipulate him in wrestling otherwise they walk all over you, yet somehow every old-time carny like Jericho/Jarrett etc is able to do exactly that.

lol I love Satnman Singh

Fuck Danhausen

Rey Fenix is a freak of nature, man

Briscoe!

Jamie Hayter is awesome at wrestling and at promos. Jamie, please step on my neck. And once you are done with that, please step on my face.

The brawl was actually pretty great. Make Dragon the world champion please.

Yes and he is mad at Danielson because Danielson has a family, and yet, despite several concussions and injuries, continues to wrestle. It drives MJF mad because he takes for granted the one thing MJF can't have - a family. EDIT - this was in response to @KawadaSmile

MJF's promos are downright schizophrenic

Would anyone have predicted in 1998 that Billy Gunn would be massively over 25 years later, while Road Dogg will be a decrepit skeleton

Looks like a shitty retelling of a Memphis angle. If Jericho beats Starks at Revolution, I will really be done with AEW for a while.

THis entire feud is ass backwards. Jericho was the one who lost to Starks, yet Ricky is the one chasing a rematch? And then Jericho says beating him waas the highlight of Starks's career, and telling him he wasn't on his level?!?! Ass backwards booking, at this point I hate Jericho. He is doing the opposite of putting him over.

lol at the crowd cheering when Ricky said "I will be moving on from Jericho" and then groaning when Jericho's music hits

Also, giving Jericho a bigger backstage role is a mistake imo. Look at how inconsistent his career has been - he clearly is not someone who can consistently come up with good ideas/execution.

As someone who criticises TK a lot, this is true. Everything AEW does is under a huge magnifying glass. If a similar approach was applied to other promotions, then 1996-1997 WCW and 1995-1996 ECW would also reveal a lot of mistakes. And yes, so will the Bloodline-Sami angle. For whatever reason, people just have very low expectations from WWE. Even Meltzer will soundly criticise AEW's faults but when it comes to WWE's flaws, he just shrugs and goes "Yeah well, that's what they are doing" or "Yeah, well, that's the direction they want". If Sami had lost similarly in AEW, you can bet your ass that there would have been 50 posts and about 50000 tweets proclaiming the death of AEW.

Is it like a busy time for NFL teams and owners or the English Premier League? His booking has become a lot more unfocused than it was just a few weeks back.

Does Batista count? Also Verne beat Bock to regain his title and had a long reign, but he had been champ before so probably not what you're looking for.

Mercedes v. Kairi was absolutely fantastic with a really hot crowd. Perhaps not the kind of match that Meltz might give 5 stars to, perhaps, but I enjoyed it far more than so many matches he has rated 5 and above. Mercedes drew the house, and the fans treated her likewise. Also, knowing how much @Matt D loves struggle and logical escalation in his wrestling, I definitely recommend this match to him.

TK needs a booker. Has there been *any* booker in wrestling history who has been great right off the bat with zero wrestling background? Watts and Patterson spent decades as wrestlers before becoming promoters/bookers-cum-agents. Jerry Jarret's mom was in the wrestling business and he worked for Gulak for a significant period of time before becoming a booker. Dusty of course was a mega-draw for Florida before becoming JCP's booker. Dory Funk Jr. was the world champion and main eventer for years before he assumed booking duties. Same with his dad I think, although I am not sure about the details. Baba, Inoki and Choshu were main-event wrestlers and in the case of the first two, cultural legends. Gedo wrestled for a decade. Gary Hart and Jim Cornette were managers for a long time before they became bookers. Hunter and Shawn were main eventers for decades. Heyman worked in various capacities for years before becoming a booker. Vince himself spent nearly a decade as an announcer and local promoter under his father before taking WWF's reins. Fritz was a wrestler for decades. Gabe Sapolsky, I guess, did not have any direct experience but even he was Heyman's protege. And Vince Russo, but the moment he stopped having Vince and Patterson to filter out his bad ideas and figure out how to execute his good ideas, we all know what happened. Apart from having no prior experience, TK also runs a football team and an American football team on top of booking and promoting AEW, and now he also owns ROH and is putting on wrestling shows for two promotions. All of this is simply too much for one person. At some point he has to shelve his ego and get someone to book his ideas into execution. Maybe poach Scott D'Amore from Impact?

TK is still a message board poster at heart, he just can't resist
