You (and others who have mentioned it) are absolutely correct. However as a fan, you LOVE to see the guys you love with the gold. It feels like the payoff to every story/angle that came before to lay your hands on big plat.

yeah, i know PnP are a huge part of AEW, i just want to see them have a title run real bad because it'd be awesome

maybe they're happy just having ridiculous matches with guys they used to wrestle in bars with on national TV tho, cuz i'm sure pretty much everyone is having the time of their lives right now as this venture takes off

I love when AEW’s booking is “let’s take something from WCW that started out cool and got hosed up badly, but not gently caress it up badly”

My kid watched the parking lot brawl before school. He did in fact love it, particular OC popping out of the trunk. Gotta be one of my favorite matches.

Santana and Ortiz already turned down what they described as a generous offer from WWE because they're both family men and AEW lets them be home with their kids a lot. WWE won't do that because they're a cult that demands their roster's entire lives.

It also made total sense because they've attacked him numerous times in the past and he settled the score in a major way. God what a tremendous fight that was.

One thing having a million factions and trios does is it makes interference/backup make a lot more sense. The heels and faces aren’t all friends with each other based on alignment alone. Friends help friends and heels can dislike other heels and everything just feels so natural and logical its like being in a bizzaro world where wrestling is cool and fun.

I don’t watch AEW dark, so the biggest surprise on this episode was the segment that implied Ricky Starkes has a finisher.

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

Parking lot fight may have been one of the best AEW matches yet. Great stuff, huge emotional highs and lows, and the Orange Cassidy and Sue reveals both loving ruled.

Great show overall. I freaking love Shida coming to Thunder Rosa's aid and the show of respect handing back the belt.

The idea is dumb as hell because they were literally in the Main Event of the show less than 12 hours ago.

While that's true, what makes Chuck mashing the key work is that OC doesn't know what's happening and this is Chuck telling him the time is right to do his thing.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


What worked for me was that at almost every point of the show the thing that happened was the answer to the question "you know what would be good?"

Bucks just superkicked a ref. Know what would be good? If they just threw the fine money at Tony Khan.

Omega is on commentary for Page vs Kazarian. Know what would be good? If he got up and left while Page was celebrating and then Page looked for him.

Ivelisse is fighting Thunder Rosa with Diamante at ringside and Shida in the audience. Know what would be good? If we had a tag match between them next week.

Cage and Starks are beating down Moxley. Know what would be good? Will loving Hobbs coming out to even the odds.

This parking lot fight is awesome. Know what would be good? If Orange Cassidy was hiding in the trunk of a car.

Best Friends won! Know what would be good? If Sue pulled up in a new minivan and flipped Proud and Powerful the bird.

It all worked, it all made sense. It was all good.

fwiw on Tony's post show stream someone asked him about Pac and Tony said he's been hearing the higher-ups talking about him a lot lately and he took that as a sign that Pac could be back soon.
