Since not in OP but are ROH wrestling in front of me, who are Queen Amanita and Red Velvet and who should I cheer?

Low/mid card on the women's division.

Both are good wrestlers. Red Velvet has made huge steps in improvement from when she was Barndi Rhode's protege.

At least I don't dance with them, right?

In short, they're both in roughly the same position: a lower-card wrestler in the women's division who's mostly getting experience until they're ready to move to a more notable position, which they're both now on the cusp of. Queen Amanita is from Guinea and is a relatively new hire, Red Velvet's father and uncle were both notable Columbian boxers and has been in AEW for a while now, they're both solid wrestlers. They're both also faces, unless a lot happened on ROH that I haven't heard about, so just cheer whichever one did something cool last.

Jaxxon: Still not the stupidest thing from the expanded universe.



I dunno which tag team wears yellow pants and their manager a blue suit but he went for cheap heat here that requires local knowledge so good for them for doing the research

That's who they were! Thanks!

(For the context, Sterling made a comment about how when he heard they were going to the capital of Canada he thought he was going to Toronto. We gave a bit of a thing about that)

Congrats on this being your first wrestling show. Danielson/Shibata might have you asking the question “do these guys know it’s fake?”

Aminata also has the bittersweet story about her never getting to tell her dad she was signed to AEW as a full-time wrestler, but after he passed, she got his cell phone from her brother (as she was the oldest)... and discovered it had multiple pictures of her as a wrestler from her time in Japan.

Great intro to AEW. I had remembered it was Legos though.

AEW is the only promotion where commentary has uttered the words "What a stiff shot with the Silmarillion!!"

I mean yes but it also was, quite literally, a stiff shot to the head with a copy of the Silmarillion
