Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Hangman is still the main character of AEW for me but I have no problem with him playing the heel to further push Swerve up the card.

I mean he's pretty justified here; Swerve threatened his family and even broke into his house. I'd wanna mess up that dude's life, too!

disagree. it would look insanely bad to do that to someone who arrived like 3 weeks ago

What? Actually having deonna win would be the change up here, usually the new talent comes in gets a program, loses and kinda disappears. She's worthy of taking the title and again, Storm and her character do not and imo never needed the belt to do fun stuff.

We just had a new talent debut, win every match and then win the title last night, we don't need a repeat of that story in a few weeks.

Yeah, after everything that's happened I think he's earned running heel for half a year, specially if it pushes Swerve into being more of a tweener. Love the Hanger, but running solo doesn't quite suit him longterm, so this letting him reunite with the Bucks also helps. Anxious Millennial Cowboy turned Corporate Shill is pretty relatable. He could just whip out the hybrid he bought a while back and go "BOY DO I LOVE THAT I BOUGHT A TESLA. I LOVE TURNING ON SELF-DRIVING MODE IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS."

Amazing show with two all time great matches to start and end it.

Big Bill and Darby pulled off the coolest Bossman Slam I’ve ever seen, gonna be thinking about that one for a while.

Bucks’ white suits getting stained with blood is a hell of a visual and whoever came up with that one needs a raise.

They probably got the idea from the age of the fall doing it to the briscoes in ROH

Hangman blowing off Swerve after the match and then shouting “YOU LOST” like a deranged Willy Wonka as he walked up the ramp was all so loving good

I think the booking of the match would've come off better were it not clear from the bell that Soup Boy had him outclassed in every possible way

her character became a thing BECAUSE she lost the belt. having her lose it again to keep the crazy train rolling down the tracks would be good even

I think Jericho can still go but he’s Def lost a step. I also think his current iteration has gone on too long and people are just kind of getting tired of him. The match should have been way shorter for sure.

For a guy who talks alot about reinventing himself we've been stuck with this version of Jericho since AEW's inception roughly. Plus at this point the perception for me is a Jericho feud is where talent goes to die for a bit.

He tapped out to his own goddamn submission finisher. That's not something you do to "still look strong".

He didn't get knocked the gently caress out by Takeshita's usual forearm shiver spot, he stood toe-to-toe to Takeshita's shoulder tackles, he pulled through multiple power moves where others would have sold them like death, and weirdest of all, he survived a screw driver to the head before tapping out to his own finisher.

Their match last night wasn't as good as the one in DDT last year obviously, but it was still pretty good, imo.

The screwdriver has been a false finish in most big matches following the cage match.

This is why she never should have beaten Shida in the first place. Nothing that Toni is doing needs the championship and honestly she's probably better off without it.

Toni has been a memorable women's champ, more memorable than her first reign for sure. The gimmick is fun and inspired. It's a good way to highlight the awesome work she has been doing.

Having Mariah sort of abandon Toni if she loses the belt to Dionna, and then Mariah starts latching on to Dionna could be fun.

But keeping her with Toni is probably the better choice.
