Hangman faked an injury to get Swerve to come out and eventually turn around so Hangman can hit him with a crutch.

Flair faked turning on Sting so he can poke the Young Bucks in the eye.

Sting let Darby and Flair get assaulted before coming down from the rafters to rescue them.

The Bang Bang Scissor Gang united because the Undisputed Kingdom and Samoa Joe attacked them but then they never bothered to get revenge.

Wardlow is supposedly beating Samoa Joe to become champion and give Cole the belt

My head hurts.

Lol the "throw a bunch of people in a big sloppy match with no build" is the classic AEW PPV bout

Why would anyone call it an All Star Scramble match. That's absolutely stupid sounding and means nothing. Just have an 8 man match if you want one. It's coming across really desperate that Tony gives everything a weird fancy name to make it seem special when it's completely not

Scramble matches are what they're called on the indies.

Winner gets a world title shot, that's pretty special.

That last segment was such a mess. While it was a bit surreal watching Sting come down from the rafters one last time, it felt like there must have been some delay in Sting coming down where they needed to stall because why the hell would they let Darby get beat with a baseball bat so badly for so long, but then do all his spots like nothing happened.

This one makes me laugh the most because not only does it continue wasting the Bang Bang Gang, but the Undisputed Kingdom are such a pathetic group that no one even really cares about getting revenge on them. The Bang Bang Scissor Gang formed and then went "eh, not worth it"

Unlike those marks who get worked by special fancy names I ONLY appreciate when matches are called by their technical names based on how many competitors are in it. So no, I am NOT looking forward to the "8-Man Match" nor will I EVER respect the "10-Man Tag Team Elimination Cage Match" and I will be dead in the ground before I even ACKNOWLEDGE the "2-vs-2 Match" as a legitimate stipulation

I missed Collision on Saturday so I don't know if they mentioned Hangman's injury. But watching strictly as one of the hundreds of thousands of people who only watch Dynamite, this Hangman thing...

So last week ends with Hangman getting an injury that is never referenced on the show and could easily have gone entirely unnoticed.

This week he comes out on crutches, claiming he's going to miss the ppv. Then in the very same segment reveals it was all a ruse and he's fine! He was just faking the injury that I didn't even know he pretended to have until 2 minutes ago! That was some late WCW rear end stuff right there. Not that I even minded it, but it was so pointless.

Being too subtle for WWE fans to get is the exact opposite of late WCW

I wouldn't call it subtle. The entire story beat was:

1. I am injured. I'm out of the main event of the ppv.
::mere moments pass:
2. Haha, I tricked you! I was never injured! I'm totally in the main event of the ppv!

I mean, okay.

The storyline is that Wardlow thinks, being handsome and jacked, he is the ideal world champion.

The match would include lots of handsome and jacked wrestlers. The winner would likely have gotten a world title match. Mr. Wardlow would have had to prove that he's the handsomest and most jacked of all.

The fans have also been clamoring for more powerhouse matches ever since Miro vs. Hobbs. This would have had Miro and Hobbs rekindle the rivalry.

It's a match both showing Wardlow that he (the heel) isn't as special as he thinks he is, but also with Wardlow winning he would have proven his grievances legitimate and have had more to whine about since management tried to stop him and failed. Or something.

Also Meat Madness is a funny name and you can do so much with a match with a funny name
