There seems to be some truth to the "busier schedule leads to the body getting used to things", as most other sports follow that pattern. The early part of the season is full of athletes who enjoyed their vacations, and they slowly pick up the pace as things get hectic and busier.

No fucking way, man

Christian Cage, AEW Champ?

LOL at WARDLOW, Hobbs and Starks having fuck all to do in this event.

Yep, main event fucking rocked, as expected. I hope they book Drew or Sheamus vs GOONTAH for Summerslam.

Dude got into the best shape of his life and still has IT. Won't be surprised if he does get a WWE Title run.

Surprisingly engaging. It's a simple story, too.

We started out with a "CAN THEY COEXIST" storyline. Sheamus/Drew vs Usos should fucking hump, tho.

There are a lot of A24 movies that are pretty sad and depressing, not shying away from having flat out bad endings. This feels honestly in line with their catalogue.

AND he still has his Chief Football Strategy Officer spot in the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been one of the fucking worst teams in the NFL in the past couple of seasons. He has way too much on his plate.

Sadly messy.

Thatcher is signed to NOAH, no? I would imagine him appearing at a NJPW/AEW show would be harder.

Honestly, the fact that it is A24 related gives me hope.

ZSJ gotta be facing Cesaro, right? They said it was a new BCC member, it couldn't possibly be Gargano. No fucking way.

ACE!

STING SHINGO HIROMU

Shafir vs Storm. Oh boy.

Hot take: Okada is essentially Orton if Randy gave a fuck more often. Top tier material, but not as fun.

I get not wanting OC on such a card, tho. At least with the "serious" mindset they have. Like, Yano vs Cassidy IS a match that would make more sense. Going up against Ospreay feels off.

C.S. stands for Christian Superfan

Not having the biggest names possible for your joint PPV kinda reminds me of Invasion.

It was arguable before, but now it sure as hell ain't. Yeah, them going so damn hard for so damn long is essentially what broke down Omega. We'll probably never see that guy 100% ever again, which sucks ass. Meltzer is saying Forbidden Door will get FOUR new matches tonight. What the fuck.

He just is.

That's my take on it as well, even more so considering they gave us almost no information on his health for like two weeks. Doing so now when there is a PPV to sell seems counterproductive. I guess we'll get the bait and switch and the ZSJ match announced tonight.

It's certainly more involved and dynamic, even if the big players are on Raw or SD. What strikes me as awesome is not that the champs have their programs, but how there are non-title feids as well! Right? Dude had back-to-back great showings.
