MJF being the fun police in battle royals is a very good role for him.

I wish Jungle Boy was in something of a program. He just feels under utilized, kinda swinging around, you know?
I don't think a Luchasaurus solo push is the right move because it risks exposing him too soon, but that's what tonight felt like. But even if the Inner Circle story develops there's plenty of room for tag work there, and there's still Dark Order around somewhere. So my hope is they're just re-establishing Lucha since he's been out and we'll get all of Jurassic Express back on track and winning some matches. AEW obviously is invested in them. I just think Lucha being hurt derailed them and AEW trusts that Jungle Boy can survive the losses and stay over.

Yeah, the Dark Order storyline isn't done between them and Jurassic Express. We've seen the stick and now these #JoinDarkOrder video(s) are going to be the carrot and logic dictates that one of them is going to snare Marko.

I'm annoyed Jericho knows exactly how to use Hager. He stands around like dweeb, people fall on him, runs away from a dinosaur and apologizes. He never looks cool. He starts to emote, SCU arrives at the perfect time.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Jake Hager ran from the dinosaur like a coward, but Peter Avalon was man enough to not only face the dinosaur head on, but to enrage it first as well. A true man’s man.

I like that once again, the Inner Circle bailed from a fair fight. Marko, Cutler and Nakazawa all died, but as soon as the two bigger members of Jurassic Express were there to back up SCU, that's 5 on 5 and they ran.

I only look over during commercials and usually post quickly if I'm excited or whatever but I think I should stop doing that. not that I missed anything but it's sort of distracting in a way and I want to soak in the show fully. I do tape the show so I can watch again another day anyway but still. what a dilemma! life is hard.

I actually never recognized Billy Gunn was that big. Having him come out to put over new talent was good. Guy seems to have having a lot of fun, too.
Watching his match against Tanahashi was a trip-and-a-half.

Speaking of size

Bumper Stickup posted:

That being said holy hell that show. I loved how Darby looked like a small child compared to Mox.
Darby is such an ideal babyface: natural underdog, has to use is speed to win matches, bumps like a madman, takes an unholy amount of punishment so you have to kill him if you want to win. I don't think the audience wants roid monsters to be sold as underdogs anymore, they want someone like Darby who has all the talent, training, and charisma in the world but has an average body type that makes him way more relatable and maybe makes them believe that they too could be such a heroic pro wrestler.

Yeah, Allen's a natural babyface. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with his style but when he's hurling himself with reckless abandon at the bigger threat you can't help but pull for him... and pray he doesn't snap his neck.

Holy poo poo I just got the dumb meta joke they did with Jericho and Luchasaurus. Jericho throwing the dinosaur book away saying he doesn't like dinosaurs and running away when Luchasaurus makes the save.

Intentional or not that's great.
