Ryan Nemeth’s new theme from Dark E was pretty great. I’m becoming a fan of his.

Also agree that Ogogo is the face in the Cody feud. America should have free healthcare is a strong positive.

E: A new Thunder Rosa outfit? How many does she have? Definitely the strongest kit game in wrestling.

Frankie is one of my favourites in all AEW roster. The guy was drat good in TNA back in the days and he is been doing great in AEW. His performance during last dynamite's SCU vs Bucks was loving amazing.

She's booked for a 25th anniversary show for Sonoko Kato soon I think, so she may have, but she hasn't been booked for anything else so it might just be something special she's doing and then she'll be back.

Jake don't like Sting, but Archer seems open to taking Sting's advice. Jake maybe feeling that he may have to get himself a few more beefy boys to keep Archer in line. (Hence his line about keeping an eye on Bear Bronson)

Don't know, but it will be interesting. Especially if there's miscommunication in Archer's TNT title match whenever that happens.

I wonder if they'll do Archer vs Miro at DON though I hate for Archer to lose again and it may be too soon to do a proper build to it.

Jake can ditch him after he doesn’t beat Miro for the title and then Archer can go on a redemption run to prove he’s still a killer.

It would be a sense-making story for Archer to lose to Miro because of some miscommunication with Jake, leading to Archer ditching Jake, saying he's been losing matches and being held back with him, so he's flying solo and not holding back. This would give Archer a renewed character and sense of purpose and then he can get a big push, and Jake can manage/build up someone else.

I think the 3 things people are missing in the Cody Rhodes stuff are:
1) Cody doesn't beleive in strict heel/face alignments (hence he won't come out of a tunnell)
2) The whole point of the story isn't Cody or QT it's getting The Factory and Lee Marshal over
3) Cody is a great promo and very sincere guy, but he's also kinda dumb and deeply steeped in Americana (I'm forever on team Cody)

The Rah-rah America promo was dumb, but it sure gave Agogo a lot to work with. He could also have pivoted into attacking his child or his Dad.

Also, heels speak truth in AEW all the time and are still heels because of how they react to that.

i definitely appreciate Cody's resistance to the face/heel dynamic because it colors his stories interestingly a lot of the time, like this time

the top guys, especially in the old days, worked heel or face depending on how the crowds in each area felt towards them and where they could make heat and sell tickets by using whatever storytelling plots related to locale they could ("Dick Mugurk says Arkansas is a BUNCH OF HILLBILLIES")

i dig it

like Cena working heel in the ECW arena against RVD
