My opinion of Cody swings wildly depending on how much his rear end is being kicked.

Brodie murdering him? drat Cody rules.

Cody beats Ogogo while dressed as a flag? I dunno, maybe Cody's just dumb.

Cody gets kicked in the face? This dude gets it, he's the greatest mind in wrestling.

There may be something to this. I was getting tired of Cody's championship run, then Eddie Kingston showed up and power bombed him onto thumb tacks and I was like I LOVE CODY

I dunno if it showed up on TV (I'd doubt it) but the worst part of the night was easily the assholes on the upper level who had a huge TRUMP 2020 flag.

KISS ME KRIS

I'm so glad AEW celebrates deathmatch wrestling instead of derisively dismissing it and then signing dudes that blew up because of their hardwork in the genre.

I really should go into a deep death dive and figure out when exactly bloody spectacles really started in wrestling. Most historians point at the Tupelo Concession Stand brawl as the first "hardcore" wrestling but that kind of stuff had been going on since the 60s in isolated areas.

The only way I can enjoy this match is if I tell myself the pane of glass and the light tubes were gimmicked and there was no glass at all.

If it helps, the glass is safety glass, like the type of glass they make glass doors out of. It's designed to break into small pieces. It'll still superficially cut a person up, but it's not going to break into big jagged shards that could impale someone badly.

The light tubes were gimmicked to some degree, there was no explosive pop or the cloud of horrible chemicals.

I mean, there's still plenty of blood, but they did their best to be sure no one took any long term damage.

I'm glad I didn't see any of that last night. I'm surprised the flag wasn't confiscated.

I also didn't see any hateful or non-woke shirts. In fact, I saw quite a few of the rainbow shirts.

Nick Gage and Jericho both trained extensively in the art of mime for this match. Congrats - you just got worked into believing there was glass due to their high level of skill.

Yeah. It was cool. I get squeemish at death match stuff but I think they did a perfect job of not pissing off Nick Gage fans but also not making normies like me quit watching forever.

Yeah, they gimmicked everything and did it as safe as you can. Stu Grayson jumping to the outside and smashing his head was probably more dangerous than anything Gage and Jericho did but everything they did obviously looks more dangerous and more visceral.

this bump scared the poo poo out of me because nobody caught him at all and you could see his head bounce

thankfully he immediately got up, brawled into the crowd, and did a flip off a balcony. blessings of ibushi upon him.

According to Fightful Select, AEW and Shaq tried to bring in Kurt Angle and Impact tried to bring him in for a one shot. He was flattered and specifically said he has a soft spot for Impact but considers himself not physically able to perform anymore so he never seriously considered either offer.

Too bad. Would still like to see Kurt as a manager in AEW.

The balcony spot was scary too because he lost his footing to start. I think he meant to do something more impressive and ended up with kind of a Flying Nothing (which is fine if it means he's safe)
