This was one of my favorite bits last night because imagine trying to explain it to someone outside of the wrestling bubble.

Jake Hager sadly hands over his purple hat.

I was thinking this during that segment too, lol. Like how serious this moment was between Jericho and his former right hand man involving one man solemnly giving the other man a purple bucket hat in disapproval and meant to be played 100% straight. Wrestling rules.

Also I think the "Fed lite" complaint re: Better than You BayBay is really loving dumb but it doesn't need to be relitigated.

Hell yes, MJF hulking up because Big Bill dissed the T-shirt. Even Cole is looking righteously furious. This is the best dumbest poo poo ever.

It kind of is. I think a lot of this is working specifically because it's MJF and Adam Cole doing classic babyface spots while bonding because they're both kind of slime. The slime and the tension makes the rest of it compelling.

It will be awful though when Cole breaks MJF's heart

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

MJF got the crowd to pop for a loving bodyslam and to chant for a double clothesline.

And in a few months he's going to cut a scathing promo on how loving dumb we are for doing that.

Holy poo poo, if they ever turn MJF all the way face, he's gonna be a god drat monster. It's absolutely incredible how good he is at this stuff.

E: MJF's hesitant little smile when Cole set him up for the "we're better than you, bay-bee!"

So the referee saw Toni Storm attacking Skye Blue, and instead of calling for a DQ, is just ejecting the two? AEW referees justifiably get a lot of poo poo for how dumb they act.

Looking at the live thread and Shard I want to hug and pet your cat, that is a very cute little furball.

100% agreed, but they should stop booking dumbass spots where the ref not DQing someone is such a bizarre move that it makes them look like the world's biggest geeks, like that poo poo with Don Callis getting ejected at the pape and then just being allowed to come back out to openly interfere in the match a few minutes later. That could've been done in any number of better ways.

I don't get this at all, last night's was arguably the best yet merely by merit of Harley revealing that she has actual talent. Not a great segment by any means but by QTV standards it was terrific.

Harley has, to my complete surprise, made QTV a non-fast forward segment. It makes zero sense that she could walk up to the Acclaimed and somehow get over. Now Aaron Solo has the banaca spray and I'm here for it.

I'm also surprised, but she's making the absolute most of whatever time she gets, and it helps that she's new and not someone with multiple restarts like QT and Solo.

I think Willow can beat Athena to set up a title match at ROH, then she can lose to Ruby, it'd be a bit dicey, but very neat.

this is sort of what I'm thinking too, but tony also likes faces to just win sometimes, and legitimizing willow before giving her an ROH title match that she wins would also work for me. honestly any of the 3 of them winning seems reasonable I think.


also someone pretend I edited the matrix bit to say "pac is fightin ibushi" because drat they're gonna kick the piss out of each other

Refs calling for a DQ instead of an ejection in any sort of match with stakes is a mistake. No one wants to see someone move on in a tournament thanks to the heels cheating.

yeah whenever this comes up it feels like another case of WWE conditioning people to expect certain things to aways end up the same way when in fact there are plenty of other options

Harley Cameron is great because not only does she fit really well into QTV's TMZ gimmick by being blisteringly attractive and obnoxious in equal measure, she's also just really funny and having fun with the gimmick as well.

I'm in the minority in that I really enjoy QTV, just thought that Hobbs was a poor fit, but with Johnny TV I think the group makes a lot more sense now. I can't help it; I love Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. I think they're fun and have a unique promo style that adds variety and also lasts like two minutes at most out of a two hour program if a segment is a dud.

That's the whole reason I don't really like how often then they "break" the rules of their reality. At least if these were really brilliant scenarios where the heel outsmarts everyone in a new way it would be fine, but it rarely turns out to be anything clever and leaves people standing around looking dumb.

If the story requires that someone just stands around for a while with their thumbs up their rear end or a face gets taken in by obvious lies from the heel, then the story should be revised. If you absolutely need a heel to cheat to win every week, then you need to write at the very least new variations on how they cheat. MJF has used the Diamond Ring to win plenty of matches, but the story isn't that he simply smuggles it in in his trunks every time, which is great because it makes sense a face would have trouble stopping a resourceful heel from finding a new way to cheat. If MJF was just pulling the ring from his tights every match, faces must be really dumb not to have the ref check MJFs tights before the match, and I don't think many people want to cheer on dopes.

Get anything decent?

The Combo Tickets sucked! It got in right away and it was all just 5 lower bowl sections, so not great.

The Individual All Out tickets went quickly and had better options. Was like 125 in the queue and got a seat center with the ring at the top of the lower bowl facing the hard cam. When I went back all they had were 3rd deck available.

Ended up snagging a Collision ticket as well, because there was like a 4th row lower bowl dead center with the ring, which is like my favorite seat!

So with all three shows I just dropped $450, yikes!
