did he just wake up?

Is Britt OK?

Babyfaces standing tall on the gohome show was a bad omen in WWE-land, I wonder how AEW approaches it.

pretty sure Fenix has "its only a flesh wound" routine down.

Britt will probably not be on the card except to kinkily neg Tony.

I thought it was a fun show but it had a different energy than AEW's last few go home shows. Mox quoting achewood while beating the gently caress out of a dude was pretty deep.

I don't think it's been specified but I assume one fall, which is a shame because elimination would allow for a lot more creative finishes and make it more like the Canadian Stampede (I appreciated JR's shout out to that one).

Lee Marshall hasn't laid out the rules yet so there's hope for an elimination stip. I imagine they're still pitching ideas back and forth.

So I went back and watched the Moxley match because I always miss the first half hour and my daughter (who is 7) declared Moxley as "Glazed" because he was so sweaty.


I'm reading that as they use porn rules:
You don't get in unless you are "clean"
Everyone who is on location has already been declared "clean" so you can't catch the bug while on set

I sincerely hope this is the case because that would some Dixie Carter Bullshit if they just let sick people touch all over my beautiful wrestling.

tbh a clean room approach was going to be the only way this poo poo works. I found watching the cleaning guys go to town in the AAA Cookie Sheet Zone was very comforting.

Even if starvation/eviction/etc was negated, Wrestlers still wanna wrestle. Its on the companies to figure out how to do that cleanly. This setup sounds about right.

I does seem to be about as well handled as could be expected past the decision to not hold shows and take any risk, provided the testing they're doing is reliable and accurate. Since I doubt any of us can meaningfully answer that question I guess all we can really do is default back to our assumptions/hopes about AEW's corporate responsibility.

so far, AEW has been real good about not fibbing or overselling their position. If they feel comfortable taking on the risks, their crew is likewise, its gonna be a good show.

Its certainly a better setup than "we took their temps, stop asking questions unless its about Seth Rollins"

According to Alvarez on WOL: Britt is a getting an MRI today, should know more about her condition later today. They think maybe Matt just has bruised ribs (maybe cracked), seems like he is still planning on going on Saturday.

She couldn't even walk out unassisted, I doubt the MRI is gonna tell her to gut it out.

This is a great idea for a Dynamite, but doing it for a PPV (even one without a real crowd) would be real dumb

I think the internal discussion is adding Kris to the title match, who they can bring in on short notice(which could be literally anyone within driving distance) or kill the match (and how to break to the fans).

Swole vs Statlander sounds real bad. Both of them really need time to develop.

its not real optimal, but Swole's pretty much the most experienced person they have available to them? Tossing Kris in with one of QT's rookies would be funny but someone will get hurt. Please do not injure our precious Anna Jay.

If it were me, I'd put Kris in QT Marshall. Have Britt come out in a wheelchair, talk about how she's real hurt but she's got a real cutey to cover for her. QT Marshall in glam sullenly walks out. Boom, QT does the deed after 7, Britt does some yelling and wheels off.

Britt's injury is a, uh, incredibly stupid spot and whoever came up with it should feel bad about themselves.

I think they should have run through the spot ahead of time to understand how Nyla was gonna land. Shoulda spiked her instead of toss(which admittedly was hoss as gently caress).They released wrong and Nyla pretty much log rolled Britt's quad knee and ankles.
