I noticed something last night while Schiavone was doing his interview segments. If you watch him during both segments, for whatever reason he mouths along with the promo that the person he's interviewing is giving. I've seen him do it before but it was real obvious last night.

I noticed this too and it was really throwing me off during the Miro promo. People do this all the time but I think because the shot was so tight and Tony was so close to Miro + trying to look shocked/appalled at the same time it added to the weirdness.

Also, yes the Jericho bump looked goofy but it's not like we didn't know it would look goofy. WWE is only slightly better about hiding their crash pads most of the time, but it's still generally obvious when they're there. A better camera angle would have helped but whatever - I got to see a War Games with a hot crowd and lots of blood so I'm happy.

Extremely hard nod here. And speaking of interference; I'm ready for Good Brothers to gently caress off about now. It was fine at first but it's becoming a crutch. And what's worse is they're being treated as world beaters. The only L I can remember them taking was due to a John Moxley rollup after spending the entire match thrashing him and Kingston. It's good you want to treat your loaners with respect but somebody needs to be a pin eater in the Elite. (Nakazawa does not count). There's 'strong' and there's 'These dudes have collectively lost 2 matches in the last 6 months and it's making every challenger look like a joke.'

i don't really agree that TGBs are being treated as "world beaters." being tired of their interference and whatever heel chicanery they engage in makes sense, but - here are all of the matches The Good Brothers have had on an AEW show since arriving:

Jan 7th w/ Kenny Omega defeating Brian Pillman Jr/Danny Limelight/Griff Garrison
Jan 21st w/ The Young Bucks defeating The Dark Order
Feb 3rd w/ Kenny Omega defeating Moxley/Pac/Fenix
Mar 11th losing vs. Moxley/Kingston
Mar 25th w/ Kenny Omega defeating Laredo Kid/Penta/Fenix
Apr 7th w/ Kenny Omega defeating Moxley/The Young Bucks

it's almost like that Kenny Omega guy is kind of a talented dickhead, and so are his dickhead friends, the Jacksons

I actually like that AEW has decided a person just saying "I'm #1 contender" doesn't seem to work. Darby does an open challenge gimmick, so it's different for him. But Eddie and Mox can't just harass Kenny to get the PPV title match. OC and PAC are ranked 1 and 2. They get to fight for the match. Mox has already lost to Kenny twice and Kingston's record is like 9-5 singles. Sorry bucko, no dice.

Ogogo is awesome. Hope he punches Cody to death again at the PPV.

It's also nice that the champions can have their personal blood feuds, but still can't ignore the person climbing the ranks. You know, rather than just fight the same person 5 times in a row until you get stick of the match

I wish they’d recessed the crash pad and just had him go through the stage, but at the same time it wasn’t billed as a loser falls onto a concrete floor match so nobody can say they were ripped off by the finish like Revolution.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
When the Elimination Chamber went through its first redesign (From metal grates and real chains to plastic chains & black padding) I said it looked awful, fake, and hokey and for some reason it riled goons up because they thought I meant it was a bad thing people weren't getting hurt on the new chamber. No, I think it just looks really cheap if you can tell it's fake at a glance and it's the same thing that they did with Jericho's bump.

It really didn't help that the stage setup was noticeably much different after the cage went up. If they'd done it the same way as WCW's Triple Cage it'd have looked a bit better. Another big oof for me was when they were showing Jericho and he was looking up and smiling on camera with his eyes open. The constant commercial breaks really broke the match flow up too, whether you were watching on cable or from the Fite feed that's commercial-free (Jericho had to stall a lot in the last break before climbing up on the cage)

Also what the hell happened to the barbed wire that Jack Hager came out with? Was never used (Or if it was, done so off camera)

My brother does that all the time while people talk to him and it's kinda irritating, my mom does it to some degree too so it could just be something he does IRL and have no relation to wrestling.

Would it have been a better finish if MJF hadn't thrown Jericho off the cage at the end of the match? To save the babyfaces from looking like idiots?

Yes. I think it's weird but normally big bumps are with legit things - ladders, tables, railings. The fake ladders are well disguised.

Crash pads are almost always obviously crash pads in a way that comparatively goes past my suspension of disbelief.

Pac makes sense as a challenger but I mean, who has he actually beaten since returning?

In singles: The Butcher, The Blade, and Kingston

In tags: pretty much every tag team in AEW in the tag battle royal at Revolution. The Elite and Takeshita in the 5 on 5 at The House Always Wins.

You can brush that up into an impressive resume with a couple of weeks to build.

Just don't show them landing on the crash pad because we can all see the poof when it happens lol. It's been said already but most people's complaints about the ending could've been mitigated with better directing. It does make me wonder how (if??) they rehearsed it because they prob should've ironed that out beforehand. It got a chuckle out of me but didn't ruin the match imo. Last night's show is probably going to do a huge number.

Just my opinion, what I'm feeling right now is Darby loses to Miro next week and then beats him in a rematch at DoN, kind of a Cody/Brodie-type story.
