I love how much he openly hates MJF. It’s genuinely refreshing to have a wrestling commentator have human preferences.

not Tony but my favourite JR call is when he calls MJF a boil on the rear end of pro-wrestling

I got spoiled on the title change, and on Sting showing up, but I'm glad I got to be surprised Omega was going to TNT. I'm a big fan of dumb angles, and you can't get dumber than an invasion.
I believe the story w/ Britt Baker is she's an insecure wrestling snob, but going from the two data points we have it might be that Britt Baker hates immigrants.

I may be a fool, but I don't see why hiding Sting from the announce desk would be impossible, and seems like something they'd make the effort to do.

Finished the Young Bucks book last night, real quick and easy read and ended up making me appreciate the work they’ve been doing in AEW as someone who didn’t come back to wrestling until AEW launched. Don’t know if there’s much there for anyone who’s already aware of their story though.

He said on the post show he had no idea and prefers when they don't tell him that stuff so his reaction can be more natural. So "IT'S STIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!" was his legit response.

Remember when Matt Hardy got locked into a freezer so he could change into a different decade's ring gear - Serpentico could probably take the mask on and off as he runs to the other side of the ring.

I've been a fan of Sting since the surfer days and because I think AEW has earned the slack being given to them to see how they handle his character I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. How WWE used him was tragic even without the injuries so hopefully it goes well and he's happy with his decision to come into the company.

AEW openly working with other companies is another step in the opposite direction from WWE and that seems like a great idea too. Having talent from around the world that you can call on to keep things fresh and exciting is a hell of a play. WWE may pretend to ignore AEW like they have with every other company but it's far harder to ignore when you're basically facing most of the other promotions in the world all at once now. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE has entered negotiations to buy some of the smaller promotions already just to keep working relationships from happening.

Does Impact start at eight? Maybe there should be a joint Impact/Dark thread next week, it's going to be a unique night for wrestling and I think a standalone thread would be appropriate.

6 women’s matches in dark, nice.

Tesha Price seems like someone they may have under contract. Her wrestling isn’t there yet, but I like her.

Have we seen Freya States before?

Nope, looks like she’s Alaska based and usually wrestles as Freya the Slaya. Billed at 6’1”, so between her and Jenna, looks like they’re looking to get at least one last hoss developing.

It's really good to see them using Dark to give the women's roster practice. This is also a rare Dark with more women's matches than tag matches.

As long as Snow keeps coming back, that’s a great sign.

The Jordyn and Freya thing was a miss for me when it happened. However, I think Jordyn is in a completely different place now and upped her stock and I will assume Freya even getting a look means there is an interest and it’s time to gauge it.

Jordyn is a lock for AEW anyway and is just continuing to train at Nightmare Factory.
