Cody is HHH's knack for self-aggrandizement with absolutely none of HHH's selfishness.

Rewatching this and just noticed that it looks like Hobbs injured Cutler during the finish. After the pin, Cutler immediately rolls under the bottom rope, Hobbs goes to check on him/give a postmatch beatdown and Knox ushers him away. Hope Cutler's alright because it looked like a rough landing.

they had a great match and great chemistry, Cutler needs a program already aside from "The guy who runs out for The Bucks"

The first 40 minutes were real good. Different vibe from Dark but Tall Paul and Big Toney did a very good job. I skipped through the last 2/3rds because I have other poo poo I like to enjoy on my down time aside from wrestling. It seemed perfectly fine, but I can't do 7 hours a week.

I was thinking it's kinda weird how "video game enthusiast" is the AEW champion and "tabletop enthusiast" is at the bottom of the card. They need to push Cutler and hire an anime weeb jobber to round out the nerd hierarchy.

Cutler/Nakazawa feud incoming.
I mean in general, not based on this comment. I don't know how Nakazawa feels about anime. I'm just happy he wears clothes now.

Cannot recall if I have mentioned that Tall Paul did a really good job, but if so, it can stand to be said again. Toney was on form, too. He's even learned what some of the moves are called!

Nope! This is a shooting week so I guess everything's a bit more chaotic, and they've got the Lights Out match to boast about. But the AEW account hasn't mentioned either Dark for days. it's probably on the same time as last week, and it'll almost certainly have some matches.

If anything this is the week I wouldn’t expect them to break the pattern of when they announce the Dark cards because these episodes would’ve been taped almost two weeks ago.

Yeah, like, Jericho/Rhodes for the title and Omega/Mox in the Lights Out match at that one PPV, or Jericho/Omega and Naito/Okada at the Dome, sure, but cool your jets, Big Biceps Tony. Just call them 'feature bouts' or something.

UFC 100 deserved the title of Triple Main Event and so does this.

There's no universe where an Ethan Page match is a main event. Mans could be in there with Goldberg and it'd be the second match on the card.

Ethan Page was good until MJF started wrestling and took his gimmick and managed to better at every part of it
