Let's fucking go, bubbas. Easy GOTY right there.

Cody/Seth vs AJ, bubbas. Let's go!

Rollins/Cody seems like a clear final.

PR needs to get in the rotation for their schedule, man.

WE GOT COLOR

He is at the peak of his popularity and is a huge wrestling fan while being good at it. Once in a lifetime talent.

Benito is honestly one of the biggest fucking names in entertainment EVER and he's doing all this because he is a super fan. God bless.

Yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss

Memory fails me but I think Angle/Ronda vs Trips/Steph was predicated on that. Need to rewatch it.

I will never not laugh at Karrion Kross being from PR. I don't think he remembers that, even.

LWO opening SD, getting a huge welcome. Dope tees, too!

Selling around 70k would be excellent, but doing so without even a hint of what the card is is actually insane.

Usually tournaments are a good way to pad an episode while giving us good in-ring stuff. Totally in Triple H's wheelhouse, in other words. I'm looking forward to Priest vs Bad Bunny, not gonna lie.

From now on, he's Corbin Le Roi-Soleil.

No worries big bubba, it's all good.

I would say being featured in a program with Gunther would be pretty fucking sweet. The IC belt has been a joy to watch ever since that man won it. Also, yeah. Lose but get featured heavily with more chances to shine, or win matches that don't do anything to your momentum? The latter is what happened to Starks regarding his feud with Jericho. He won twice but it didn't really do anything for him.

I am a decent Spanish speaker, but man this PR accent is killing me! Still, having fun with this one, Dom is super fucking charismatic speaking Spanish. I like how from the get-go he mentions how being a heel would make him stand out on his own (and have fun) and not be in his father's shadow. Can't say he's wrong.

But in this case, it seems we are talking about going from year 1 to year 3, not necessarily a three year difference between talent. In that case, three years makes a ton of difference - the landscape changes, it's almost a full presidential mandate, but Ricky being 33 and Guevara turning 30 this year doesn't really mean one is old and the other is young, which is my overall point. Oh, don't get me wrong - it's not that I think Starks would be seen as top guy, as that's already for a select few, but he has tools to make it into a comfortable TV role and upper-midcard placement from the get-go. Judgement Day is a solid act that more often than not leads the show and rarely has one single guy leading in, to make a comparison to JAS. It's actually a good spot for someone like Ricky to land in his first or second year. The only programs ahead of JD/LWO is The Bloodline vs Canadians and Stoner and Brock vs Cody, and it has more screen time. Considering he sometimes vanishes from TV altogether on AEW, it would be an upgrade - even if he IS capable of more in both places. He sure can talk his way into an even bigger spot, regardless of being "small" - he could beef up, but his height is ok. He has a good look and can sell people into whatever feud they put him in. @The Man in Blaksaid it well, it's about sustaining his push - the risk would probably be overexposing him, if he does make the jump.

Balor, Escobar and Rey were focal points for the past few weeks. The LWO vs Judgement Day feud was a good showcase for all parties involved. At worst, that feud was in 2nd place in terms of TV time, and was the 3rd most important in terms of card plaement and built. But regarding age... Sammy is nearly 30. It's not like you can say he's super duper young or doesn't have mileage on him. Same goes for Allin, but at least there is more potential in him than in Sammy or Perry.

It's a bit boggling thar they are using Starks to put over White after he showed he's pretty much above all three title contenders and arguably looked better on the mic than MJF. What the fuck do Jack Perry and Sammy Guevara have over Ricky?

It's him, Athena if we stretch the definition a bit, Gunther and Sheamo.

That reminded me of Kaientai using Heroes del Silencio's Entre dos Tierras as their theme song. While a possible interpretation of the lyrics can be made to fit the group, it was certainly an off-the-wall choice. Still, a massive, massive banger.

She also had a pretty damn sweet tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. She was on a Legends=type deal, wasn't she?

AEW's merch is insane. Like, it's not hilarious like AJ's TNA jizz shirt or Sin Cara's cock shirt, but they are just... not good. It's their own brand of bad, which at least is commendable.

Pouring one for Dark and Elevation
