When JR called in an armbar I was dying a little inside because it's not an armbar even if yo squint. It's modified cross face But no one calls it that, really. Also: When Excalibur or ANYONE for that matter calls a sit-out scoop slam a Michinoku Driver I also die a little. I'm very nitpicky about that particular move.

My wife looked at me and I almost had the nerdiest moment of my life telling her that I was actually right and the pro wrestling announcer was wrong. "Was that a Flatliner?!" Not even close, Tony, but I still love ya. Excal is maybe the person/thing about AEW that's most obviously missing when he's not there. You can build shows around wrestlers not being there or other announcers or whatever, but the show sounds and feels completely different when he's not there. I did appreciate Taz singing along to "Ruby Soho", though, and the picture-in-picture banter was pretty fun. Tony and Taz went on this tangent about how every wrestler in Team Taz (and then Darius Martin) were all handsome and JR was like, "ALL RIGHT, SENIOR CITIZEN TIME IS OVER" or something at some point and it was good stuff.

I thought Taz did a pretty good job of filling in but yeah, literally only Excalibur knows the names of the moves.El Gallinero Gros posted:Also where is Jake? I don't think it's been made public. Could be any number of reasons.

Adam Cole, a twitch streamer, calling anyone else a nerd is hilarious and I was really hoping Danielson would call that out along with calling out the Bucks losing their titles on Sunday. Oh well.

Oh well. I mean, I tend to think the same thing when anyone who does it on SA, but it doesn't stop people from doing it here either Like if someone posts on this website, you are a nerd, it's not up for discussion.

Ziggy Tzardust posted:I feel like I’m crazy because I just don’t get MJF. He’s a genuine “mute the TV and do something else” one for me. His promos use way too much cheap heat and come across as a bit “YOU PEOPLE”. His in ring work has improved greatly but nothing special. Plus, an aristocrat who never loses or gets what’s coming to him is just daily life in the UK. I get that he’s a future main eventer but I’m dreading the eventual title run He just lost on Sunday. I also don't really understand thinking his ring work is nothing special, he doesn't wrestle a lot but his matches, especially the ring work is really good. Also I barely noticed Excalibur was gone and enjoyed having more Taz content on my TV.

Taz having the shortest fuse in AEW makes total sense to me. Like, he got so pissed off at Punk and Punk didn't even mention Team Taz in his promo – he mentioned it in a tweet months ago! It's like he suddenly realized nobody was talking about Team Taz and he flipped out.

I'm definitely excited about Riho/Ruby vs Hayter/Britt Hell, even Britt/Hayter/Rebel vs Riho/Ruby/Stat sounds pretty good, just make sure Rebel doesn't do much

Taz is really fun on commentary but he and Excalibur are perfectly balanced to bring out the best in each other. Taz with JR and Tony just wasn't quite as good. I do like that he generally starts out super chill, then someone will piss him off or attack Team Taz and he loses his cool for the rest of the show.

One thing I really appreciate about Taz on commentary during Team Taz matches is that when his guys get in trouble he switches into this mode of "Okay, now I'm worried" and starts to get more on edge. Really helps sell the fact that while he loves his guys and believes in them, that everyone else in AEW is also very good and could pull off an upset at any time. Speaking of Team Taz, was Hobbs okay last night? Seemed like he got knocked a bit loopy and wasn't all there the last minute or so of the match.
