Those were fighting game legends Justin Wong (huge WWE/Cena mark) and Michael "Yipes" Mendoza. Yipes is mostly well known for his infectious hype/energy and mostly does commentary now. I can almost guarantee Jebailey got them those seats for this exact reason.

For those that don't know Yipes is responsible for this piece of internet history. He was definitely put there on purpose to add hype to the show.

Guess you’ll have to go to Fight for the Fallen now to get a picture. Gotta right that wrong.

So wait the story is Shawn Spears went nuts and attacked his boss because, essentially, he sent him to catering?

I change my mind that storyline owns.

How was the commentary? Did JR manage to not be much of a bigot again?

About a wrestler that started a company called oriental wrestling entertainment, and then managed to give an interesting fact about Antonio Inoki and Japanese wrestling.

Goldenboy seemed like the perfect third man if you're going to do three men: Other two do most of the talking, but a third voice to add emphasis to exciting stuff.

I liked it, WWE three person booth is way too much "too children fighting with their father there to add lame comments"

also how nice is it not to hear lovely WWEism like "sports entertainment" holy gently caress

Excalibur is so good that he makes JR better. I'd never heard the dude before AEW but he's phenomenal.

JR and Excalibur are fantastic together, I guess they can throw whoever in there with them but I will continue to advocate for a 2 man booth

Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

It kinda blows my mind how Cody has set up his matches. First, Dustin, (not sure how he set up Darby) and now Spears making Spears angry by saying that he could be a player coach. That has to be his next singles match.

I’m also glad that wrestlers were just openly swearing while in a match. I don’t think it needs to be all the time but if you get dropped on a barbed wire board I think yelling gently caress makes sense. It just makes the wrestlers seem like real people and not just tv characters

You are now hearing this
noise in your head.



JR has lost several steps but he has good chemistry with Excalibur and lends some legitimacy to what they're doing.

He also seems to be having more and more fun as this thing goes on.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
only watched the pre-show since i didnt feel like signing up for some website, was the first punchsports i've watched that wasnt STREETBEEFS in many years, basically since NXT was a reality show

I was surprised and delighted to see Goldenboy on the desk, he does great work for overwatch league when they decide to use him

it had a lot of weird moments but I liked it and I felt like it was worth my time. I absolutely lost my poo poo at this part of Leva's promo and this one single thing was worth tuning in:

"There's so much more than comics and manga. Books! With words!"
Crowd: "We can't read! We can't read!"

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
