Everything Jericho says is at the top of his lungs. It's exhausting to listen to but he's still really good at commentary.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
Dark Order were incredible tonight, it's time, it's wholesome time.

It was so disappointing watching with my girlfriend who was excited at a woman's tag match which she hadn't seen on Dynamite yet and having to warn her to lower expectations.

JR flub is whatever, but I still want him moved to sit down interview statements and replaced with a female (or non-binary) commentator. He's good in so many ways, but he is the past.

I listen to JR's podcast weekly, he's the man. There's a video of him making the worst burger i've ever seen on youtube. I love him so much if he made it for me i'd eat it and pretend to like it.

Jericho does commentary like he’s only ever heard McMahon announce episodes of Superstars in the 90s.

Jericho's commentary could definitely stand to be toned down a little bit but I did appreciate how he felt more like a tweener than pure face commentary.

I am kinda hoping AEW does a lot of rotating desks though. A little Jericho, a little Taz, just mix it up to give different matches a different feel.

Life has me beat down by Fridays and I haven't really watched since the NBA playoffs started, so it was awesome to get Wednesday nights back.

JR is fine, but he sits at the same booth as Ex/Taz, so it's hard not to want them to do Dynamite commentary instead.

This may be a super hot take or whatever but MJF reminds me a lot of The Rock. For him to be as good as he at 25 years old is incredible. The last person to be that good at 25 was...well, Dwayne.

I'd assume because she was at the Japanese bracket of the tournament, though she didn't wrestle in it.

Yunamon was part of the best faction in AEW that is trapped on an island AEW does not shoot footage at normally,. The Killer Queens of Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga, and Yuna Mizumori. (Yunamon wrote choreography for their entrance and everything)

MJF absolutely has an advantage over Sammy in who will be AEW's future.

Darby's bones will be dust in a year or two so he's definitely out of the running

Jungle Boy however

Every time I hear his name though I think about the tv show Plebs and him correcting people each time saying "Jungle MAN"

It's a combination of that and addressing a disinterested crowd at a Fozzy show.

The only things the Rock was better at than MJF at this point in time was pure energy and being a face.
The Rock was right dude, right place, right time. MJF doesn't quite have that going for him. It's likely nobody in pro wrestling ever will again.

The Rock was out on injury on his 25th birthday (May 2nd) and came back a heel a few months later (August), cutting the “Die Rocky Die” promo, joining the Nation, began the rivalry that helped to fuel the Attitude Era with Steve Austin (December), and by his 26th birthday he was leading the Nation (day after Mania 14) as Intercontinental champion at a time when that belt actually mattered, just as WWF broke the run of Nitro’s dominance in Monday Night ratings.

He had a hell of a year when he was 25.
