Hell yeah, Tony.

This was pretty much exactly how I felt, as well. I thought it was just a solid show. It seems I liked the main event more than the consensus here, and that probably explains it.

What a paradox.

Nevermind.

Would likely re-sub for it.

My first thought when Jericho came out in the mask was that the Dark Order would work well as stooges for him.

Just finished this one. I thought it was better than FyterFest, mostly because I really liked the main event and thought the 6-man and Omega matches were good, though definitely not great. Definitely some down moments. The women's division continues to be quite terrible. Hopefully Kylie Rae can help to turn it around in her hometown, because she is easily the best they have. I thought SCU was also really bad, but I think I've also possibly hit my saturation point with the Lucha Bros. This thing gave spotfests a bad name. Jericho certainly should win at All Out, IMO. Hangman feels like when WWE tries to heat up a midcarder for a one-off PPV match much more than he feels like a long-term Top Guy at this point. Awful promo aside, Jericho just has more to offer. Also, I'm probably going to cry if I get to see Dustin tear the house down in Chicago. I'm an unabashed mark for him so I just hope he's working the show. He has so much left to give. I'd love to see him vs Darby or one of the other younger guys in the opener. This was my favorite Bucks match in a long, long time (probably Wrestle Kingdom in 2018?). All-in-all, still very optimistic about where they are headed.

You don’t.

Is this a compliment? Because I think this is a compliment.

Yeah, the presentation/name of Dark Order is terrible thus far. SSB’s were becoming one of the best teams working in the States until their Visa issues. That said, the Bucks definitely brought them in because they want to work with them (and have had great matches with them in the past), so I expect them to right the ship one way or another eventually, even if that means basically scrapping the gimmick. Of course, having them have an actual match tonight could go a long way in helping them getting off the ground. On paper, the six-man and the Bucks/Rhodes matches look like the sure standouts. Omega/CIMA has definite potential if they work a straight match. I’m not particularly interested in the women’s matches but so far that whole division has been a miss for me aside from the Joshi workers on Double or Nothing. Hangman has definitely not felt like the top guy they (seemingly) want to make him and I’m not optimistic that will change after tonight unless Sabian really goes all-out to make Page look great.

Good shows all the time. They book huge names and have some great matches. Been going for quite a while. Pretty much a super indy. Their whole library is up on HighSpots.

I think if they were talking about bringing back lapsed fans, they were talking about attitude era fans. As far as the real sports presentation, I assume Jim Ross said something about that? I’ve always assumed AEW was going to essentially be PWG on TV, which I am down for. It hasn’t been THAT good thus far but I’ve enjoyed everything, I think they have hit the mark much more often than not thus far (though for the record, I also think stuff like the Librarian thing and the stupid thing they are doing with the Smash Bros are terrible). The shows have had a lot of variety and that has also been good. Great commentary thanks to Excalibur. No major TV promotion that I have followed has made a show that I have loved from start to finish week-to-week so I don’t expect that from anyone. As soon as Dustin hit that gusher, my friend and I decided there was no way we could miss All Out in person. I’m still pretty much just as pumped as I was then.

If you had been on Tout, you would have heard about Quibi ages ago.

So is this a hologram match or something?

Will be the first Progress I have watched in a long, long time.
