but yes "I don't deserve this title I earned it" is a face promo now I guess.

That part IS a face promo, though? Like, it would only be a heel promo if he won the title on a non-clean finish.

Bullet Club Gold are incredible. Juice is such a great lovely deputy leader and I'm so glad Jay's finally getting to show off in AEW exactly why he's one of the best in the world. All hail the Bang Bang Gang

Exactly the same thing that happened to Okada when Kenny challenged him for the IWGP title the 3rd time.

What if loads of other people are cheating? Would you prefer to keep your honour and lose? Possibly even let your family starve and your dog die from lack of vital medication, possibly doggy insulin, that isn't covered on your pet insurance plan?

Let's be real here. Lives are at stake over whether Juice's arse can fill into his new Speedos or whether he has an admitedly tight but still lacking hank hill arse.



Not to body shame the fellow. That's absolutely not my intent. But if he won the belt he could afford tailored ham hock smugglers.

Yes. I'm the person who said I like KK's commentary because he doesn't try and tell me a bad match is a good match.

Dax’s white gear always looks like he’s just out there in his ill-fitting tighty whiteys and it’s a terrible look

Collision commentary was way better even though Riccaboni still hosed up Andrade’s name, hard to decide if “sounding it out as though it’s literally the first time you’ve ever seen it written down” is better or worse than “confidently butchering it and then doubling down the next week after making a joke about how badly you butchered it” but I’m leaning towards better.

Are you really questioning if someone enjoys wrestling in the face of being able to form opinions?

Like, is your baseline of "enjoying wrestling" abandoning all critical functioning, and ideally beneath that?

Because I get that. I do. It's wrestling.

Commentary’s job is to make whatever you’re watching more fun to watch not tell you that you’re watching the shittiest wrestling they’ve ever seen what are you even doing with your life change the channel, big bang theory is on somewhere probably haha bazinga

Kevin's great because he's having fun and not selling you on everything that happens. Let the match breathe. I don't need everything to be amazing. Somethings are only OK. That's fine.

I also get why, if you're running a TV show, and people are flicking through TV channels and not really paying attention, you'd want someone who sounds like they're describing the biggest, baddest poo poo ever. Or if they're being clipped for social media. I'm already watching though. I don't need that.

Collision was loving nuts. Tag match ruled. Bang Bang Gang are incredible. Ricky!!! Willow!!!

I don’t like Ian/Caprice as much as many others do and Ian/Caprice/Nigel was bad, but somehow Ian/Nigel works really well.

Battle of the Belts is a real stinker. I wish they’d just commit to doing like at least a couple weeks of buildup for it instead of 24 hours.

There'll be a scene a few months from now where Ricky yells at Punk, "Where's the bag at, Punk?! WHERE'S THE BAG AT!?!" And Ricky will refuse a goldfish in his dressing room and some McDonalds then be hanged in the library with it made out like a suicide.

Edit: It will win Emmy's.
