Not a single question to Jay Lethal or Tony Khan about the allegations against him and whether they have been investigated in the post-event media scrum, but a lot of questions to the tune of "How happy you were at how amazing your pop was?!" lol. Wrestling media is a complete joke.

It didn't seem to affect the crowd one bit. It was a 30-second spot in a 25-minute match that was crucial in resolving a lot of arcs in Hangman's story to become the champ, from the time the Bucks refused to corner him for his match against Jericho 2.5 years ago, to yesterday night with him apologizing for costing the Bucks their title shot last year. If they had continued the story after the match ended, it would have been too much, but the climax was Hangman sitting on the shoulders of his friends soaking the adulation of the crowd. What I think they should have done is tweak the finishes of some of the earlier matches so that there were not so many shenanigans in basically every match, which dilutes the impact in the main event imo. I have said it before, but Tony Khan has become very proficient in basic wrestling booking, he now needs a finish guy/middleman, Pat Patterson style, to help with the formatting and finishes of his shows. It's a pity Cornette has burnt bridges with basically everyone in AEW, because he would be perfect for the role.

God, in hindsight, this PPV ending with Omega winning would have been a complete disaster. There were too many clunkers on this show for it to have survived a deflating heel ending. As it is, this is the best ending to a PPV in AEW history. The genuinely emotional crowd at the end was everything.

That was an inversion of everyone's expectations that actually got a pop out of me

For once, Matt Jackson in tears did not make me roll my eyes, mostly because my eyes were watery too. That was as real as it gets

I am so fucking happy right now. Wrestling is awesome. Credit to Omega, he made Page look like a million bucks.

These men are throwing BOMBS

Holy shit, credit to Omega, he protected Page really well on that move

Omega acknowledged the Ibushi sign lol

That Hangman entrance legit gave me chills

Yeah they even chanted his name. Fans don't really care of course

Wow bringing Jay Lethal barely a year after Speaking Out is certainly a choice

That was truly a terrible frog splash

He is protected in all of his losses. I agree that he needs a big win soon. When it happens, the pop will be out of the world

I agree with this tweet-

Okay maybe not a double turn but that's my match of the year. Nothing in wrestling is better than a wild bloody brawl with wrestlers genuinely trying to hurt each other

Match of the year and I believe they might have done a double turn there

I am genuinely giggling and marking out right now

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA HE DOES THE CENA SPOT

CRIMSON MASK PUNK

This match already rules so hard

I am not sure why they don't have the Inner Circle-ATT feud follow the Cody match. Credit to Britt and Tay though, they are killing themselves and are getting the crowd into it.

This hasn't been one of the best AEW crowds to be honest. I guess with the company growing, you will now have crowds that are not rabid for most things and willing them on to be good.

Britt has a really good Final Boss-esque theme song

Thought that match was actually better than the 6-man, but Cody's tweener adventures in the Cody-verse has zero appeal to me, and it's really dragging down Black.
