According to Cabana, there were plans for he and Brodie Lee to circle back and eventually feud down the line. Colt Cabana made the pitch after Lee wrestled Moxley for the AEW Title, and drew up a manuscript to outline it. Unfortunately it was never able to be seen through.

Colt was inside his circle, and knew all of his moves.

Cody was / is a bleached blonde piss boy.

Even more than that, he felt like a dude who was banged up, had been turned down by the PC when they were signing anyone with an indie name and there was retirement talk surrounding him. It's a real feelgood story

I'm probably gonna write an effortpost now about Kingston's arc in AEW because it's so loving great and that promo between him and Mox before Full Gear is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a wrestling show, ever.

He was mad at Mox for selling out and for going off and being a big star and leaving Eddie behind, family and friendship and loyalty was always the focus of that feud
I got that part. But he outright said chasing championships was the reason his mom didn't have grandkids, and after they became besties again Eddie handwaved it with "title belts make you do crazy poo poo", so to me it came across more as jealousy masquerading as loyalty. I got the feeling that if Mox still had the title by then, Eddie still would've hated him.

Also whoever was in charge of hiring extras for the club scene only hired men so Jericho told them it's a club it needs women in it too. Filming went so late that all the female extras bailed so the two women in the club were the legendary Megha and someone else I forget. Megha's Instagram handle is now "Legal Girl" thanks to Konnan.
To be fair, a bunch of guys desperately scrambling out to pick up girls at the club during a pandemic but not finding any is some real slice of life booking.

I'm rooting for him but I'll be really surprised if he wins. If he does I think the MJF progression is pivoting toward psycho MJF, though, so I'm really rooting for that.

MJF is established enough to take a loss and Sammy is on absolute roll. He needs this win to fully cement himself in that top tier

He was just blown up from getting in the ring in that humidity.

There’s no reason anyone should be mad about that promo. It was 99% putting over AEW with literally a one liner dig at WWE

I'm fine with either outcome to MJF/Sammy, but Sammy needs it more if they're positioning him for a mega-face run. MJF can take individual losses and still be the perennial heel, but Pinnacle as a whole needs big wins to establish itself as a threat since they're still relatively new.

I noticed that, too. There were some moments in the promo when everyone in the ring was clapping for something Eddie said and it didn't seem like he was joining in.

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
gotta be honest and say I don't really care about Sammy Guevara the wrestling character. don't care if he wins or loses. I don't feel any sort of way about him, which is a bummer because I want to connect to him! he just kind of shows up every now and again and does a bad promo that I don't care for

the vlog is good though

I mean the guy was in WWE for years and years. He probably didn't relish Eddie saying nobody in that locker room had any heart (paraphrasing). To be honest, taking aim WWE's locker room seems misguided. The talent at WWE isn't the problem. It's the dogshit creative and all of the insane missives coming from the lunatic at the top

It’s real weird to me that it seems like they’re setting up the Inner Circle to run the table on the individual matches. Like, I get why they didn’t want to have Hager lose a worked MMA match for Bellator’s sake, but don’t book that style match then.
