Tonight's show delivered on all fronts, with the Ryo/Nyla match being exactly what I wanted it to be. I was a bit flat on the main event until the enormous brawl that followed it, which ruled. Can't wait for Sunday.

StarkRavingMad posted:Shaq is 48 years old, has bad knees, has a net worth of like $400 million and a cushy NBA commentator job. He called Tony Khan up out of the blue to tell him that he wanted to wrestle, apparently trained enough at the Nightmare Factory to put on a good match including a very credible powerbomb, and took a bump from the apron to the floor through two tables. What a cool, weird dude. That powerbomb was also a brodie tribute, Shaq is a good brother

Am I crazy or had Tony Khan tweeted that Hardy/Page was happening tonight instead of Sunday? That Shaq bump put the biggest grin on my face too, he looked like he was just having a blast.

very cool that AEW remains a step ahead of their cursed women's division by replacing every injured star (first Kris, now Anna Jay) with some new ones like Ryo, Jade, Leyla, and Velvet. Velvet in particular ha improved so much, legit liteyears from when she started appearing on Dark.

What a cool, weird dude. Shaq is an insanely ambitious and driven dude, it doesn't surprise me at all that he went full effort to look as good as possible in that time frame. Really good episode of dynamite top to bottom.

Watching on the West coast now, and just caught that Reba is “injured” so Britt is lobbying to choose a replacement partner if she can’t compete, so another possible debut there too. Does Deonna work heel in Impact? I do not watch Impact.

As someone that lost interest and only followed wrestling passively for close to a decade before AEW I'm drawing a blank.

Lesnar (unless he is signed for Wrestlemania), Punk (unless his Fox contract forbids it, unlikely!), Angle, Batista, Trish Stratus, Lita, lots of Japanese freelancers, lots of older Mexican talent, AJ Lee (not really a Hall of Fame talent but definitely a name) and Jazz.
