MoS

Mox v. Suzuki was rushed and I can never forgive them cutting off MiSu's song, but what an episode of Dynamite. Apart from the great matches and segments, I loved how they managed to shine a spotlight on their young talent. Feels like such a hot promotion and a hot show, just great to watch.

The guy who looked like he picked his outfit from the local Walmart near the arena on his way to the show looks far better dressed

Not even kidding, AEW should book Suzuki for one more date just so the crowd can chant that without the music getting cut off. It's a small thing but this is a promotion whose big selling point is giving fans things they want, and like, this would be a nice makeup gift.

If I had to guess, the Punk and MJF segments ran long.

Bryan Danielson v. Nick Jackson would actually be excellent

It's Bryan's hairstyle

Lmao Danielson making Omega look like an absolute geek on the mic, and he's barely been speaking for a minute

If QT is Cody's Brother BruT, then who is Shawn Spears?

I get that Cole shitting on Schiavone is easy heat for him, but imagine Adam Cole calling someone else a nerd, eh. This is a man who idolized Hunter and Shawn, and only left WWE cuz they wouldn't let him play on Twitch.

He would be awesome as the version of Liger doing nasty matwork and occasional big spots. He is really jacked so I want to see John Silver v. PAC, cuz little meaty men slapping meat

LMAO I thought you meant Ten of the Dark Order. My bad bubba. Shawn Spears is okay as someone who takes falls for the Pinnacle but yeah, I have no time for him otherwise. I would have made Wardlow do double duty tbh

Most of FTR's AEW run has honestly underwhelmed me. Their appeal always was synthesizing traditional tag psychology with modern spots and pacing. Now they are an inferior copy of Arn and Tully.

TayJay should beat their boys until they stop behaving like dumb teenagers imho

He is a part of one of their most over acts and one they are doing a dissension angle with, probably tying it back to Hangman. Of course he is going to be put on this show

Not sure what to think of this Dark Order breakup angle

Good solid match. Britt v. Soho is going to be great

Yeah, by the second time he was using the "going to do what Melanie should have done" phrase, I was like dude we get it

Like the mirror version of a 2000 Foley promo

One of the reasons some of MJF's nasty burns don't really land for me is because I have seen him on Twitter and he just doesn't seem witty enough to come with them on the fly. They seem therefore very rehearsed, in a promotion where most promos sound natural and authentic. It's an issue with me, I admit.

Yeah, I don't really like the content. I don't know if shitting on the promotion and all its wrestlers is good heat. Jim Cornette would never use the term vanilla midget for instance. And it makes no sense for him to shit on smaller guys, given his team's biggest star right now is Dustin Poirier, who is 5'9" and fights at 155 pounds.

He is he owner of MMA's biggest gym. He is not particularly well known outside of MMA circles, but he has always been a great performer, and they are basically using him as a Jim Cornette surrogate

Imagine Hobbs v. Big E. The Khans need to open the final forbidden door

Fuck yeah this ruled so hard! Everyone was awesome here, including Hobbs and HOOK, who just looked very very handsome

That Miro-Kingston package was awesome and I am glad that they are extending the feud. However, this is where AEW's breakneck booking and formatting of their shows is a bit much for me. I would have preferred two minutes of the commentators discussing this before CM Punk's music hit.

I thought it was perfect in terms of being a very good match but at the same time leaving zero doubt that Black is better
