Confession: Lucha Bros do nothing for me. What am I missing?

Yeah, their ability is fine, but that gimmick...woof!

We talk about how bad the Dark Order gimmick is, but So Cal Uncensored is the epitome of a local indie gimmick. Wish they'd retool it to have national and international appeal.

Commentators sounded dumb as fuck thinking that was Dark Order and not immediately recognizing Jericho. I realize it was supposed to be a "mystery" but it was obvious from the get-go.

This match is a great example of time limits really meaning something. The invisible clock added exponential drama to the match.

Did Sabian just kiss a fan? WTF???

Perception is reality though. They really need to lose the WCW Saturday Night jobber look and gimmick. Until then, it's impossible to take them seriously.

The least over team defeated the most over team. Makes sense...

Marko Stunt literally looks like he's in middle school

The Dark Order look like WCW Saturday Night jobbers.

I dig the Brandi-Kong partnership.

Shad Khan looks bored AF...

MJF has an annoying face.

You do realize the average 9-year-old isn't that big or tall, right?

They're mostly gibberish subtitles too. This is so weird.

Did subtitles just show up for anyone else?

I love the setup too. Looks different, which is important.

Someone should tell Peter Avalon that librarians don't wear Hugh Heffner pimp bathrobes.

Agreed, @goodhelmet. In the case of hiring J.R., this is one instance where I'm glad AEW ignored the millennial "movez" fans. J.R. makes everything better and adds a credibility to AEW that money can't buy. Excalibur is very good too, but my God, that mask is goofy. I have a soft spot for Marvez because I read his "insider" column as a kid long before I knew what a Meltzer was.

The name Dark Order doesn't help either. Sounds like some bad, hokey e-fed or video game CAW shit.

We don't deserve this great man...

My guess is somewhat real means, "Yeah, we know it's fake, but that match was real because Ric Flair still has a scar."

Which is why this is easily, indisputably the best wrestling shirt of the year.

A Twitter feud for the ages... Shane Helms and comedian Ron Funches throw down about the history of racism in wrestling. Click on the tweet for more in the thread.

This doesn't really sound like the "more serious" show Fight for the Fallen was supposed to be. (Granted, it's just the pre-show, but still...)
