You can still figure out the safest way to do something incredibly stupid.
I think spiritually, the spot of "set up some chairs to lay a door between them, but it keeps kinda slipping and will fall apart before any successful slam" that I have seen in every indy garbage match is what I mean. If you want to slam a guy through a door or a table, there are many ways to set it up that look better than some precarious contraption with a low percentage of success. Same with leaps from precarious footing. You can pop the crowd just the same, whether or not you give yourself stable footing before jumping.
Sometimes people need to be literally told to put your shoes on after your pants, because they won't figure it out themselves. If you have a big dangerous ladder dive as part of the finish, don't beat that ladder to poo poo first. Ya know, keep a ladder fresh and beat up another one if you must.
things cost money so you only get one door and one ladder at most indy shows. Have to make due with what you have.

That's kinda the whole deal, figure out your spot before you are actually in front of a crowd.
With respect to props, if you have one door, figure out how to set it up so you can break it in a cool way and not end up giving up after your 4th swanton attempt fails to break it.
I'm not saying you need to write up a report to do a frog splash, but if you are planning on a frog splash off a ladder out of the ring, take more than 5 seconds to figure it out before you go out there. Lots of wrestlers are shockingly bad at improvising when something goes awry so reduce the odds that they need to improvise.
Most of these spots are ultimately interchangeable to a pretty good degree. If you don't have the right gear for a spot, do something else. Be creative.

Love AEW. It makes me hoot and holler. I'll add my name to the list of people that A-E-Dub helped get through the pandemic. Loved the Dark 2am taping podcast vibes.

I've been hootin and hollering a little less but Brian Keith coming out of nowhere and getting over is why early AEW was so good. imo he should get a flash pin off OC for the title and then wrestle a bunch of lucha guys for a couple months

I hope when MJF comes back he's still sports entertainment as hell. I loved all of MJF's reign, Devil stuff included, and consider him to be the second best AEW champion after Kenny. And it's pretty close.

Copeland's new submission finisher was cool. The few times he's done the spear I hope he doesn't hurt himself.

I hooted and wheezed during the Toni Storm stuff. Deonna got to do her world famous limb crimes too. Shivers just thinking about that pain.
Heoyh Hook vs Joe was how you take and elevate young talent. Hook has that G-1 dawg in him, I feel it.
Overall a very hooty and hollering good dog drat time.

Funny that Hook is built so strongly since selling is one of his biggest strengths.
That kid is money though; he just needs to expand his bag of tricks. And wrestle more than 15 matches in a year.

I thought the way he sold gradually losing consciousness was especially good.

We got Samoa Joe as champ with Hangman and Swerve at his heels while MJF's vision of the company got thoroughly refuted by ticket sales and ratings. Of course it's going to be a good year

Whether AEW nabs Okada or not (watch out for your bones!), I want to say that I think it’s cool that TK tries to bring ALL of the world’s greatest wrestlers to the tv show that I watch. The man truly has too much money and no conscience.
The fact that they inevitably cannot all be made perfectly happy is someone else’s problem, I’m just pumped to see Black Taurus fight my faves.

Okada doing AEW before WWE(or ever) would be a huge shake up for business.
Trinity maybe also up for grabs after a hot TNA championship run. And any doubts about her willingness to do reasonable business have been silenced too.
AEW is pretty exciting overall.
