hottest takes on AEW I've seen have been "how was this any different from indie shows. young bucks and tag matches were just full of people 'doing stuff' and that's it"

Hottest take I've seen was that all the women wrestlers were terrible and the female commentator was even worse.

I mean that's obvious sour grapes, but my own hot take? The Bucks match could absolutely have stood to have been 5 minutes shorter and would've been like a full star rating better for it. People complained about Omega/Jericho being too long but I think they were actually complaining about the previous match being so long that they wanted the show to end when Kenny and Jericho had only been going for like 5 minutes.

Would you be my new best friends?

I don't think it ran too long but I do think there were a few too many kickouts from big moves that kind of disrupted the flow of what was a really good match. It made the ending feel a little stretched out to me, and if they'd ended on one of the fakeouts a little earlier I think I'd think higher of the match (which I still really liked!)

Finishing even on the More Bang For Your Buck would've helped, both in putting that move over to a potential new audience, but also the idea that they won by going back to their roots.

How many people even remember that match, much less have a strong opinion on the booking?

(I do remember it but only for the hilarious finish, Dean hit his finisher and casually motioned for the ref to come over and count before lazily covering, taking like 10 seconds to pin Dolph like the geek he is)

IIRC Ziggler keeps counting down the time until his contract is up and they have to do a little dance before he decides to re-sign.

He took the five year contract extension the fed was offering up to all its talent when they first got wind of AEW and then hosed off to do bad (I assume) stand up.
