He’s top 3 in the world right now and nobody can convince me otherwise

He’s top 3 if the other 2 on the list are also Rey Fenix.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Archer is a lot of fun to watch and it's good to have big men in ladder matches for a few reasons but I WANTED FENIX IN THE MATCH GODDAMNIT :rant:

I assume the bookers were like "no, fenix will finally succeed in killing himself if we let him in this match"

I just like most of the roster of AEW rn so I’m not even mad when someone has to lose? The matches and the builds are so good and there’s like five more interesting outcomes to the storyline, even if you lose??? It’s so refreshing!

I want to know what happens when Fenix gets Lance up on his back.

If this doesn’t pay off I will be very upset.

ok so fenix DEFINITELY does the jackie chan thing where he sees objects and tries to figure out how he can use them in bonkers ways in a fight

So, uh Penta is in the ladder match but Fenix is not.

Hopefully the brothers can has out this discrepancy in a reasonable fashion.

Yeah what I really like about AEW is that whatever they do booking wise, even if I think something is weird or bad, they either take it somewhere cool or course correct it pretty quickly so I'm fine to just ride with it

I think they do a good job of making it clear that there are favorites and underdogs, but also there are even matches that could go one way now, but the other next time. They’ve made the idea of rubber matches really important and don’t make people seem like ineffectual losers just because they don’t win every match (unless they are in fact ineffectual losers).

man, fenix REALLY wants to fireman's carry archer for some reason

I can picture Fenix after this match at his white board filled with strategies and slowly crossing out "fireman's carry on a gigantic man".

That match gave me flashbacks to his Grave Consequences match and now I want to see an AEW casket match.
