The Bucks also had a (hilariously fun) 3 months where they were just superkicking everyone in AEW and throwing money in their face and I wish they'd just go back to that instead of being the Anxious Anchor in whatever plot they're involved with

I am glad that the Elite/Bullet Club drama is contained into its own storyline instead of dominating the entire show like the nWo did in for a while.

god it was so bad right after it crested, it'd be like hour 3 of Nitro and they'd be like "now Lex Luger and Konnan are gonna cut a promo for 12 minutes about why the nWo is going to beat Ice Train & Hugh Morrus"

Tay Conti should beat Shida
Lance Archer should beat Darby

Doesn't Death Triangle owe the Good Brothers an rear end beating for taking out Penta that one time? What ever came of that?

Post-match the Bucks murder Mox. Matt looks conflicted and corrupted, Nick looks like he's down for anything.



lol yeah Nick is very much just kinda "down" with whatever is going on. and as soon as Matt decides he's like "ok" *recalibrates target from Kenny to Mox, update Kenny from Enemy to Friend, beep*

Lance gonna decide that he needs to correct the wrong that got done to him when Cody won the TNT title and beat Darby's face in

edit: have him beat Cody's rear end too, imo

is this all because the main event of the card is a bit of a shambles? because i can agree with that, but does that bleed chaos onto the product? everything else honestly feels more or less fine, as long as things progress in at least a BIT of an interesting way (i'd like to see women's and men's tag title changes, but that's about it)

90% of the cast is still great fun to watch in whatever they're doing, and even the most average matches have at least a few good spots you remember, while the top end is hitting it out of the park

pivoting into a weird invasion angle that's stalling/sputtering with your third ever world champion was a bit of a gamble and i wish they'd either pull the trigger on a meaningful outside AEW win/title, or just cut their losses

Can we talk about Darby flinging himself outside of the ring like a goddamn bullet? I know he does that dive to the outside a lot but he slammed into JD so hard last night. Looked loving awesome.

he also sold JD's rope toss/clobbering punch spot the best of anyone

yeah I'm happy to see TH2 in whatever they're up to, they lose a lot, but wins against them still feel meaningful as stepping stones to the upper card, they're probably playing their position in the hierarchy perfectly

There was that story about AJ having the calf crusher on Tanahashi and he was just not breaking out of it and AJ was starting to worry that it was getting too drawn out, but Tana was watching the crowd and they were only getting more into it.

So Bucks need to be better in tune with TV presentation I guess.

i think the live crowd will pretty much always pull the TV crowd into their wake. a lot of any of the wonkiness in AEW's product and some of the minor hiccups and stumbles can pretty easily be attributed to a lack of crowd whenever there's not an obvious reason

this is worth watching if only for the Dustin wholesomeness on the second half

Dustin seems like he might be one of, if not the biggest factor in AEW's culture success, he's so sweet and humble and just loves being able to give of himself for the young people he's working with, it's so sweet :3:

i guess we have to wait and see what they do with Kenny vs Swann to see how the IMPACT angle is going to end up, even though it has mostly felt like a dud, AEW has a tendency to bring poo poo home in a big way, so yeah.

the only other interesting thing aside from the 2 Tonys promos were Private Party getting a title match and having IMPACT be part of their heel turn w/ Big Money Matt. i haven't tuned in to a minute of IMPACT TV aside from highlights of AEW dude matches and Kenny stuff. the only thing I know about IMPACT is that i want Willie Mack in AEW :shrug:

I think it's just a matter of time honestly. Two years from now Britt Baker will be a giant star and probably have a lot of mainstream appeal for a ton of reasons (great look, great story, great talk skills, awesome matches)

I'd love to see Ogogo be a pure striker.

RYZIN tries a headlock and just gets punched in the ribs really hard and falls over.

there could be something interesting there, if he keeps his boxing footwork/stance and throws a lot of punches, but i dunno how it'd blend with a pro wrestling style

maybe as a signature spot he could drop into a boxing stance and throw a big flurry and use it to set up a big move or something
