Apart from the other ways this is dumb, it misses that Martin Kove {who plays John Kreese) is a black belt in Okinawa-te Karate and has Kendo and taekwondo experience too.

IT'S THEIR VERSION OF THE TV TITLE! HE HELD THE TV TITLE TWICE IN WCW! THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE TV TITLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHAMPION TO TAKES ON ALL COMERS ON A WEEKLY OR NEAR-WEEKLY BASIS!

Even by Disco standards, this is a completely mind-boggling take.

Plus for this particular match:

Sammy had never beaten Darby before
Sammy and Darby have been mentioned as being in similar standing by multiple characters on the show - most notably by MJF's four pillars
Darby had saved Sammy from a beatdown the week prior
Darby is a former TNT champion and both men's reigns are tied to by their battles with Cody Rhodes
Both men are in Andrade's focus (Andrade wants Darby as an assistant, and Andrade has explicitly stated he wants the title)

It clearly wasn't just a random match thrown together!

Even if you somehow don't like the talent that left last year, the shows were so plagued by technical issues that at one point Cubsfan told people he wouldn't advise ordering them. The talent they are pushing often sucks and the company is in obvious turmoil.

This is a pretty mild one but there's always the possibility that Dave and Kenny did 15 minutes on Elden Ring.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
i'd kill for a segment of kenny omega explaining the plot of final fantasy 7 to dave in order to give proper context for the name of his finisher, especially if bryan also had to listen to it

I misread the initial Meltzer tweet as saying he and Kenny would be discussing Kenny's birth as opposed to the birth of AEW.

I have it on good authority that wrestling is objective and that Pro-Wrestling NOAH is objectively the best professional wrestling. If you like anything else you're just too stupid to appreciate what's objectively good.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
I mean you could definitely make the argument that the build to Rosa/Baker II has been rather lackluster cause Rosa just kinda went into limbo after their first match and Baker's just done this series of 2-3 week build title defenses where there's 0% chance she could lose and to some degree it does feel like Tony woke up like 3 or 4 weeks ago and went "oh gently caress, that's right we're doing the Rosa match now" and started building to it BUT you can't say they've done literally Nothing at this point.

i just assumed rosa and britt had been simmering since the lights out match a year ago while i wasn't watching. that match seemed to have an inherent promise of a rosa title feud down the line and this is it. works for me. she should win.

The last three weeks of tv have shown Britt has been acutely aware that Rosa is on a collision course with a title match and doing what she can to thwart it by bringing in Mercedes Martinez.

Yeah, the build to Rosa/Britt started retroactively last year with Jade/Rosa in the tournament.
