C.S.

Assuming this isn't a (bad) storyline, just fire the guy. Doesn't draw a dime, doesn't move the needle, isn't very interesting as a wrestler or character, won't help WWE, and his absence won't affect AEW at all. Sami's WWE ceiling would be NXT North American Champion and a random meaningless U.S. Title reign. With that said, the referee and Tony Khan deserve their share of the blame as well - maybe more TK if the ref isn't empowered to go against the finish and stop the match in these cases.

Bryan is so giving that he'd probably voluntarily lose to this geek. Another reason I hope it never happens.

Tag Titles vacated, tournament announced - to the shock of no one.

Did the show end abruptly for anyone else?

Who are playing the American surfer and nWo Stings?

All people who have done AEW commentary in the past. Just presenting you with the alternatives to J.R.

You're right. Give him Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, and Kevin Kelly instead. No, that would be absurd. J.R. wants to do it, and I'm guessing Sting wants him to do it.

Excellent World Title match, with the expected result, but that doesn't mean it was the wrong one. Great action and storytelling.

The match sucked. There, I said it. Feels good, man. Okay, it didn't actually suck - both of these guys are great, obviously - but it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for what it needed to be. It was Ospreay's "debut" and obviously a showcase for him - fine - so it should've been a quick 8-10 minute burst of adrenaline. The way Takeshita has been used has made him an absolute non-factor. He needs to be rehabbed. I was actually rooting for him to win the match, because that would've been a genuine surprise. Yeah, yeah, he's still young - but so are a lot of other people in AEW who are on this seemingly never-ending treadmill to nowhere.

I admire his loyalty and outspokenness, but maybe that's me. I'm not attached at the hip to his Twitter though, so don't take this as an endorsement of every dumb thing he's ever said - I'm blissfully unaware of a large chunk of it.

So has Hep C.

Who hates them and why? Wheeler is an idiot, but FTR is a damn great tag team.

Why the fuck would Mox bite Dax's bald bloody head???

Kyle O'Reilly's Florida Man attire - t-shirt and shorts - is certainly a choice.

I don't get Wardlow. Never have. He's Random Big Man Generator #23. They're sleeping on Hobbs.

I hope Hobbs wins this, but I think Wardlow or Jericho will. Kudos to Brian Cage - who I normally dislike - for his Sting cosplay tribute.

Amazing main event. Let's see how the rest of the undercard stacks up.

CHRISTIAN WINS!!!

These near falls are making my heart palpitate. AEW is three seconds away from utter ruination if the wrong wrestler wins.

The main event is on first! Unexpected, but I'm not complaining.

I hope so, Dawg.

First AEW PPV I've ordered since Revolution '22, which I genuinely remember nothing about. This is strictly a one-match show for me - The Stinger's sendoff - so everything else is a bonus IMO. Does B/R also show the Buy In? I remember them doing so, but it's been a while.

I don't understand why fair use doesn't apply in cases like this, but I'm not a legal expert. I read a funny comment on Reddit that Tony should use the footage without WWE's permission and then pay whatever the lawsuit costs because he can afford it. That's absolute madness, and I don't agree, but lol.

Garcia beating a generational talent like Christian would be awful, so no, that absolutely should not happen.

Kevin Kelly embarrasses himself and the company on Sting's big weekend.
