It was incredibly subtle but when Andrade started to cut his promo "WHAT?" chants were starting and he instantly changed his cadence to throw them off and kill them.

What a show. Was there tonight, totally lost my poo poo at Nick Gage. A lot of the crowd seemed to not know Gage, but you could see pockets of people losing their poo poo, which is basically what happened near me, where me and someone in the row behind me were both losing our poo poo and screaming MDK while you could hear like 3 people asking "who is that?".

That "fan" who got used as a weapon during Mox/Archer had been sticking out like a sore thumb to me all night, just, like, the wrong vibes or something, they seemed out of place somehow, and then all was revealed when that spot came up. Also, that cane that Archer uses on the floor that kinda explodes, a shard of that thing flew like 30-40 feet in the air and went a bunch of rows back into crowd on the floor, someone in the crowd managed to catch that shard out of the air like a foul ball at a baseball game.

I get that deathmatches are hard for some people to watch, and it's easy to dismiss them as mere spectacle for the sake of spectacle.

You're not wrong but then that is honestly a good description of all good pro wrestling if we step back and think on it.

Gage has such a great presence, an aura of a star that has a unique relationship with his fans and it's going to rule seeing him kill Jericho

I wonder how TNT is going to feel about a stadium full of people chanting NICK FUCKIN GAGE.

They tried to tone down the Cowboy poo poo chants before so I can’t imagine they’ll love it.

I also want to hear Justin Roberts do his entire GCW introduction for similar reasons.

from last page abotu the touring, imo the only thing weird is them going back to daily's so soon.

P&P vs FTR press conference. OK, cool. Santana shows some photos. This is an odd segment.

I thought so too? i dont know if theres a longer version on their youtube or something, but it seems so oddly split up and disjointed?

Fun show. Baker vs. Rose was messy but dramatic, and that IWGP match was just superb. I loved Mox being undone by his own barbed wire panel, ironic in a way. And yeah this is a great win for Archer.

I am not familiar with any of Nick Gage's work but I know he's got a lot of fans and a lot of people were clearly thrilled he was there so it should be a fun time.

I'm going to make it sound simpler than it is when I say this but AEW are doing two things that WWE has forgotten how to do, or forgotten how to do in tandem.

They're putting on good shows.

AND

They're giving you reasons to tune in next time.

I once heard a promoter (I think it was on one of the Art of Wrestling podcasts) say that the objective of any wrestling show is to get you to buy tickets to the next wrestling show. You can do that by having cool matches and doing cool stuff, put those are the means to the end of getting people to come back. And one of the ways you get people to come back is to tell them about all the cool poo poo you're doing next week.

And the really sad thing is that WWE can't do that any more. "Tune in next week where you can see, uh, all the matches from this week again but in a different order, I guess."

It could be incredibly simple to do but they literally can’t advertise anything for next week because no one knows what’s going to happen until like two hours before the show starts

Or in the case of RAW, two hours after the show starts.

Makes me think of an indecisive painter who keeps adding more and more pigment to his palette to try and get the right shade, but without making a single mark on the canvas. Problem is when you do that, the colour you end up with is poo poo brown.

The best thing about them bringing Chavo in is that you just quietly accept that one day several months from now he's going to horribly betray Andrade because that's what Chavo does.

I think we also need to acknowledge how quickly they realised Andrade with Vickie wasn't working and found an alternative

A minor criticism. I guess I just don't understand why Fyter Fest is two weeks, followed immediately by Fight for the Fallen for two years in a row.

It's because Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen were both first-year PPVs, before AEW PPVs moved to the 4-per-year format (Revolution, Double or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear). Before Dynamite started in October 2019, adding a couple extra PPV specials in June and July was all they could do to keep interest intact during summer 2019. Now that they have a weekly show, those two are now midsummer TV specials with the same names in lieu of a full summer PPV.

I had no idea what Penta said (well, until Abrahantes filled us in) but goddamn I love the way he said it. PAC is always ready to kill because he takes people existing personally. Fenix is always ready to kill because it lets him show off his incredible skills. Penta is always ready to kill because he's really good at it and loves his work.
