gently caress, I have to acknowledge Jake Hager is good now

At this point, I unironically like Hager in everything except when he's actually wrestling. He can show some humor on BTE and backstage segments when they let him, he's funny as just stone-faced tough guy, he can do some jokes like this, he's fun.

But that's where it stops. Don't wanna see him wrestle (at all really), DEFINITELY don't need to see a solo run outside of the Inner Circle, don't need him doing a full on promo. Just mug for camera and alternate between wacky and serious, good enough for me.

Of course if he left forever and was never spoken of again, not gonna shed a tear.

He got a little lost when he had to actually do a back-and-forth, but just barely. MJF is perfect at all times. His little 'oh who am i kidding' + stomp the mat aka brian pillman in hell combo was so good

For those of you who were actually at the show, how much coaching was there in regards to the Kaze Ni Nare sing along? I can just picture Tony Kahn coming out during a commercial break and saying 'Ok, you all need to chant this at the right time or Suzuki is going to murder everyone in the building'

From all appearances AEW does absolutely no coaching of audiences other than to beg them not to swear. They didn't even coach the no theme song Jericho/MJF match other than post lyrics on twitter.

Dan Lambert's character is literally "Old man yells at youths" and he plays it fantastically. The man isn't going to AEW in a private jet with all his MMA buddies because he's actually against AEW. The man is having the time of his life.

If you want to complain about Dan Lambert complain that he's feuding with old man Jericho rather than Dante Martin or Sammy Guevara.

It leading into Lance Archer and Suzuki would've at least been a cool way of having those dudes murdered while also getting in a guy with legit fighting credentials. Also you could've had them look like badasses rolling up on the ring and clearing house of those MMA douchebags, instead we get a poo poo pee pee promo from the stage and a dude who's won 3 fights against dudes who train in between shifts at the cannery.

This is absolutely my issue with where this story went. It’s not shocking that he’s complaining about how this company is all small millennials and he goes against Jericho and Hagar, but I just don’t want to watch that team at all. Should have set them up with FTR or Bear Country or something if you wanted that “real men” angle.

Jericho making the kind of gay joke that would show up in collocation’s bigotry thread and the crowd eating it up also sucked.

I mean, its possible Jericho and Hager lose, Lambert crows about how their time with AEW made them soft, and then younger talent come in to send the Top Team packing. The heels gotta win some of these Arthur Ashe matches, after all, and I doubt they'd be bringing in all this MMA talent constantly as a vehicle for another Men of the Year loss.

Tony needs an editor to cross out like a segment and a half from the format each week. At this rate, Kenny/BD is gonna be 6 mins with half during a commercial

Man, I'm happy to watch AEW internationally, but I keep feeling like the Fite.tv audio is off. Such a quiet crowd for so much of the show.

Alright Dynamite leading to two stacked shows next week. I do love JR explicitly saying 2.0's idea of going after top guys only is foolish (though a missed opportunity to talk about all their wins on dark).

Oh and the satanic kickboxer deciding to fight Rosario Dawson was delightfully ridiculous.
