I guess if you have like six new people coming in at once you gotta spend some time setting up what they're gonna be about, but good god what an exhausting amount of promos. Feels like they had to cut short both Hobbs/Martin and Moxley/Suzuki.

So glad they're having MJF get involved with someone other than Jericho though. That was almost the most promising thing of the whole show.

Man if they're really having Hook have his debut match against Punk they gotta think the world of the kid

- The continuing antics of MMA Grandpa (the white one, not Suzuki). Yeah the dude can cut promos when he wants to, but he's just going over the same two talking points now and it doesn't feel like it's building up to anything so it just feels like a waste of time. I'm sure they have an end goal in sight (and I'd love it if that end goal was Archer and Suzuki just slapping him to pieces) but it doesn't FEEL like it.
Fantasy booking time: I'd use this to build towards Men of the Year vs. say, Punk/Danielson. The guys who hate AEW vs. the guys who proclaim how awesome AEW is at every turn. Would also elevate Scorpio and Ethan, as well as give the superstars a little something to do before gunning straight for the main event scene, which I'd personally prefer. The only trouble is that matchup has only one possible outcome even on paper :v:

I missed like 90% of that backstage segment so I think I missed the ice bag thing. You'd think he could use that giant hair as some kind of helmet or shield to keep people from battering his face.
Griff wouldn't muscle in on Marcus Kross' gimmick like that.

Oh dang Griff and Marcus Kross are actually training buddies and former tag team partners, I didn't even know.

was gonna say please don't break up the Varsity Blondes but now I feel like if you do, sign Marcus and let them join up again as a hair-themed team

Andrade vs. PAC was great. I think I like Andrade now. Not least for the little moment where he went into the railing, saw the kids right behind it and did a quick "whoa, you okay" gesture. :3:

I spent far too long looking at that graphic thinking "weird Trios but what the hell, sure"

A complete Luther with Serpentico will fetch a pretty penny in 20 years, everyone always loses the tiny accessories.

The only two ways you can eat trash all day and stay fit when getting close are: a loving hell of a fast metabolism or train for stuff like Ironman triathlons. I have none of these so I have to train and eat clean. For a wrestler that is used to train and eat clean, a long tour is just hell. At least AEW's schedule is not that harsh to keep up with a proper diet.
or the third way: you can be Butcher and just carry half-eaten wraps around without a care in the world.

Okay: I know the ratings are a storytelling tool and I appreciate them for it, and Ruby is awesome, but I don't think you should get to be in there with one match under your belt. Not for any sort of internal consistency, just it kinda gives the game away.

You have a very good point there and I clean forgot all about that

... personally I would make a special spot on the regular rankings graphic for cases like that but at that point it becomes a design question more than anything :v:

If I was a day one homegrown AEW regular I'd hopefully be understanding of the marketing department showing me and my buddies just who is selling the tickets these days.
