I feel like they should do something where the faction theme plays as the entrance and the individual theme plays as the exit.

They've been extremely clever with the rankings this PPV cycle. A number of genuine contenders for Kenny at DoN, and Britt and Rosa both picking up wins and climbing the rankings. Someone pointed out that Hobbs got quietly ranked #5 so Cage looks like a bigger deal when he beats him next week too.

I love that Taz can, by simply choosing not to be mad about someone, imply they are going to be turning heel in the near future.

Some day he won't bury D3's gimmick. Then we'll know.

Did FTR guy with hair take a Tyson punch to the face or does Tyson throw the best worked punch ever?

You can see it if you slow way down - Tyson hits him with his forearm.

there are other things Jade could do and look good at without needing her to aim directly at a championship.

You could have her and Nyla team against Swole and KiLynn King and get some fun matches that way.

You could give her a hoss-off against Kris Statlander

Give her some weird stuff to do with Ryo Mizunami.

Lots of fun choices, all of which will help hone her as a pro.

Have her absolutely murder Riho at some point too.

I think the idea with Ogogo is, since he's a bit green, you can structure matches around the punch to conceal things. Jobbers are gonna get livered the gently caress out, but better wrestlers will avoid it, breaking up the pace of the match to give them time to pull off more complex spots.

Yeah. It needs to be something that he has to be positioned properly and put all of his power into - you could bring back Technique By Taz for this.

Hangman has a match with Ricky but they could theoretically switch the card around. Could be fun to have Ricky pissed off that Darby basically cost him a shot at the #1 ranked guy.

Jessie might be retired. You could put KC with Britt easily enough though, if you wanted her to have a better tag partner than Reba.

I would really enjoy it if the TNT title match is not 15 minutes or less. I'd really like to see what Darby and Jungle Boy, as two of the main young lions of AEW, can do with like 30 minutes.

Doesn't the TNT title have a 20 minute time limit?

Who is the person or people that AEW cut due to visa issues? Dave mentioned it today and Butcher mentioned it on TIJ as well.
I know Jimmy Havoc was the person cut for disciplinary issues and there’s apparently like two more cut for other reasons, visa or travel maybe?

Bea Priestley and Sadie Gibbs.

the belts need to get defended more against people outside the elite's sphere, which is solved more by the bucks dropping them to the lucha bros but can also be solved by them defending the drat things more often

I don't think they really defend them often enough but their last 4 defenses have been against Death Triangle, Chris and MJF, Santana and Ortiz, and The Acclaimed.

I get the sense from Aubrey’s Sonics jersey and references to events that they might’ve stacked up a number of low card unrestricted eps during Revolution weekend and have been putting those out when they don’t have something specific to compromise with a bigger name.

That could definitely be the case.

Not 100% clear, but based on how Ivelisse has posted about it, it sounds like she thought Rosa should’ve been more deferential to her in calling the match.

This is what I've gathered too, which is stupid if true. She's the champion in a match for her title and representing her promotion. She calls the match.

If you're talking about the match with Takeshita, that was from the house show.
