BAEST MODE!!!
Better show than last week and Paul Wight was much better on commentary this week. In week one you could tell when he was lost and would throw to random facts about the wrestler or psychology in a match that didn't fit when he didn't know what to say. This week he either always knew what to say or just didn't say anything when he was lost. Still don't see why this show is 90 minutes. A four match show would be much better.

Dunno so much about whatever that loving hip-wiggle taunt he was doing though.

For what it's worth I assume Nemeth doing the hip gyration stuff is a nod to Rick Rude, since his neckbreaker looks like the Rude Awakening and in general his gimmick seems like "less charismatic and talented Rick Rude" but I could be wrong.

Dolph also does/has done the hip swivel and neckbreaker, often combining the two. Nemeth is like a Dolph Ziggler tribute act which is frustrating because he seems like he has enough weird charisma to stand on his own. At least have different colored hair.

I think that's exactly what he's doing, and I think Taz or Excalibur called it a Rude Awakening when he did it on Dark before.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, seems like you guys generally liked the Tay match. My brother and I thought it was the worst she's looked in months, and we're both fans.

It wasn't down to Ray Lyn though, just looked like Conti was a step off.

This is about how I felt. There were definitely a few spots that maybe could’ve been better executed, but ultimately I don’t know that I care enough for that to impact my enjoyment of the match.

it wasn't Tay's best recent match, but it was fine? like a 5/10?

also bear in mind there's a new booth and a newbie announcer, they color the performance a bit. i wasn't listening yesterday (was watching in the background while working)

Tay and Ray didn't seem to have much chemistry, but it was fine as an opening mostly-squash match.

Is Ryzin signed? His website seems to indicate he's taking indie bookings, so it doesn't seem like it.

That doesn't really mean anything, most people in AEW can still take indie bookings if they want.

I liked Team Taz vs West Coast Wrecking Crew, but mainly because I feel like I haven’t seen a Hobbs match in a while. I like how he works as a heel.

If you only watch one thing from that match you should watch this:

Other than that, Ethan Page vs. V was pretty fun.

Hobbs is so loving good, watching him grow and be built into this monster is awesome, I can't wait to see his first title chase

Probably won't happen this year, but imagine Hobbs in the G1 Beef Block squaring off with the likes of Ishii and Shingo.
