C.S.

What?! For the record, I've enjoyed Kevin Smith's movies (well, not all of them) more than I've ever enjoyed an Asuka or Pac match. *Shrug* Truthfully, even something like Jersey Girl (which I have a soft spot for but has its detractors) was better than 99% of WWE programming has been over the past five years.

TAKE THAT BACK! Jay and Silent Bob are as A-LIST as it gets!!!

Great Khali says hi.

Give the cameraman a raise, though, for quickly locating fans who were shocked and/or excited by Hager's presence.

Somehow they managed to make Jake Hager look like a big deal.

There's your answer there. Twitter in general is pretty negative and toxic. I'll agree with this much. He's not a star. He will never be a star. Currently, he's beating stars, which is an issue IMO. He can be a good heel gatekeeper type, but that's his ceiling. Doesn't mean AEW won't force him into a higher spot, but it won't ever work.

I honestly think all of this "Cody's winning the title at Full Gear" stuff is wishful thinking.

Asuka has barely been used all year, and pretty much no one cares anymore. Even PWO can't be bothered to give much of a fuck. Mauro is universally considered good outside of PWO, so you might want to step outside the PWO bubble for a bit. PAC is a "good hand" but he's a lower midcard guy who has never been particularly over, certainly doesn't warrant a major push, and feels like a wasted signing compared to all the better ways that money could've been used.

I disagree. PAC shouldn't have won either match (or gotten signed in the first place, but that's another story for another day).

Great show so far, but Page vs. PAC has easily been the worst match so far. Not sure why they signed PAC, TBH.

Jericho was way more gimmicky and mugging in his WCW heel and early WWE runs (at an older age than MJF is now), so the sky is the limit for MJF as far as I'm concerned.

This match is a lot better than I was expecting.

This show needs Mauro, but it's great otherwise.

Is it just me or does Sammy look young as fuck? I guess I've gotten too used to the weathered WWE guys who spent 10 years in developmental. Even the NXT TV guys are older.

Am I the only one who doesn't mind Swagger? He's not great or anything, and a questionable signing, but I'd be curious to see how he's (re)packaged.

I agree. If I had to wager a guess, this is probably what happened. It sounds very logical to me. Agreed. That's the only reason I speculated Enzo/Cass. But even if it was never them, LAX doesn't feel like the original plan - or, as @FMKK suggested, they were the plan but Mox's injury threw everything out of whack and "forced" an earlier debut for them (which I still think was avoidable). Either way, I'm not sure what's so controversial about LAX. We all support AEW and want tonight to be amazing, but there's no need for you to go into fawning mode and bend over backward to make flimsy excuses like this. This is possible too. As for the Rumble, I don't remember which year that was, but maybe Jericho was supposed to win it and plans changed? Was that the year Sheamus inexplicably won it when everyone was expecting Jericho to?

Which is fine, until they ceased being mysteries after debuting at All Out, and yet Jericho waited until the day before the show to confirm that they’re his partners. May not have been Enzo and Cass, but it sure feels like something fell through at the last second. Plus, didn’t Jericho say his partners would be controversial? Nothing controversial about this. *Shrug*

So, Jericho revealed ahead of time that his "mystery" partners are who already appeared at All Out. This really feels like a last-minute backup plan because they couldn't get Enzo, Cass, or whoever they really had in mind. If not, why have appear at All Out in the first place and why have Jericho wait until the day before to reveal his partners instead of doing it a month ago when they showed up?

You know better... They'll get ten minutes, and probably on the pre-show. Exactly how I feel.

Bobby Lashley is someone I could've gone without ever seeing again. He's shit. This cuck angle with Lana is shit. Please at least tell me Lashley is the heel in this scenario. (And don't @ at me to tell me what he did in TNA. I don't care. He's been a waste of time and space since returning to WWE.)

Why is Cesaro wrestling in Walmart pants now? If they're not gonna push him, I wish they'd just release him (unless he doesn't care and is just happy to be there and collect a paycheck).

Pointless filler matches like this kill Raw every fucking week. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE VIKING RAIDERS VS. THE ONLY, THE ORIGINAL, THE OFFICIAL NOBODY GIVES A FUCK CLUB THAT DOESN'T, NEVER HAS, AND NEVER WILL MATTER! Also, major at Rusev having "problems at home."

How is it "allegedly" when he was caught on tape and her dumb ass posted it all over social media?

I assume the "joke" is they're both racists?
