I'm not a fan of any wrestling show opening w/ 20 minutes of talking. 15 would have been too much!
Dante wants Taz to tell him about cool Sabu spots he saw in ECW.
Good lord at Darby trucking Austin. Darby fires himself like a bullet, it's wild to see.

so the way jr signed off it sounds like he's at least taking a hiatus

He's having to undergo treatment for skin cancer, which I imagine takes a lot out of a person. Get well soon JR.

I saw someone bring up the point that it's probably better to have AEW have more longer promo segments since it burns out the crowd less to have basically a PPV length amount of mostly wrestling.

Whoever said that's a motherfucker.

I wonder if they're actually going to do the thing where maybe something is wrong because it took Punk so long to beat QT. JR kept saying he's never seen Punk struggle so much before but then Excalibur would say immediately after that punk has never looked better so it felt like they weren't on the same page. Sorta felt to me like Excal was sticking to the script and maybe JR wasn't but I could be totally wrong.

There definitely was a tug of war in commentary for that match. Ex was trying to put across the narrative that Punk was working off his aggravation on QT but JR saw it that MJF had significantly put Punk off his stride. Watching the match, I think JR was right (though the thread underrates canonical QT's power levels) but Ex is less likely to just free-wheel and improvise a story.

Has anyone said that the Battle of the Belts will just be the various champions smashing their belts together like conkers until all but one are damanged beyond recognition? Because that's a scoop for you all.
e: this has been the first fast national leak where the reaction has been "that doesn't seem terrible?" The worst spin I saw on them was that it shows that the growth is maybe not as significant as could be hoped, and they had slowed down after gobbling up the NXT audience.

I'm not saying it should have happened this match, but I'm excited for Garcia to start winning matches on TV.

Elephant Ambush posted:

Eddie/Garcia was even better than I expected although it really looks like Eddie's knee injury is legit. That does not look like a normal sell to me. I hope he an take some time off after the tag match and heal up. I was literally :ohdear: while watching that whole match.

I'm sure Eddie's kneea give him legitimate grief, and have for a long time. But he is also a past master of selling, his knee specifically. I thought I could find a clip from some Kingston interview where he talks about how friends reached out to him, worried that his knees seemed to give out midway through his debut AEW match w/ Cody, and called them all marks. I thought for sure it was on his Unrestricted ep but I've listened to it twice now.

The tournament is full of indie darlings and brilliant members of the roster who somehow never had their time in the spotlight. And then Cody wins. In the first round he eliminates Warhorse.

Cultaholic were fine for a bit after their inception but I really don't care about anything they do anymore.

They're aggregating a pro-wrestling torch (iirc) story about how, after the Bucks just signed a 2 year extension to their contract, Cody and Kenny have not yet. There's possibly more to it than that, but I don't read the PWT.
They end w/ the talk about how a bunch of contracts are ending next May, so it'll be interesting to see who sticks around.
