Glad we always have at least one open challenge title that eventually consumes the champion whole.

Just wanna say that CM Punk only needed one elbow shot to the dick to elicit the same amount of Feeling that Christian needed around 10 shots to the dick to achieve, including the one with Spike.

Yeah I wanna see Mercedes in action.

Right now the issue is she doesn't have much of an angle beyond "is babyface, is happy to be here" so her promos don't have much to work with. I feel that's true of a lot of the big signings at first. They're sorta getting her into it with Julia and Skye so I guess that's her first program.

turn it all around

Someone earlier mentioned how they need to feed the theme music audio into the broadcast instead of just picking it up in-arena and it was very distracting for the first time in a long time for me last night. Okada’s theme especially sounded weird, like it was somehow off as if a second instance of it was also being picked up but was off by a beat or two.

I think Tony has said he doesn’t want to change that, but man I wish he’d reconsider.

It's a rite of passage to attend an AEW show with a hot crowd and then read online that the crowd seemed dead all night. The sound has issues.

Crowd sounded great on TV all night!

I’m destined to always hear audio issues since I went to college for audio production so AEW is as much a blessing as it is a curse for me.

Lets where are they now for a second

Sammy keeps going face and doing stupid poo poo. Pnp exploded because of bad injury timing. Hager is exactly as he should be. Danny is being groomed for an inevitable run. 2.0 are in pretty good position as basically Dannys cheering squad and playing opposite paiges brother on rampage. Considering whats happened to other teams and people (Dark Order, Th2, Danhausen, Ricky Starks, butcher blade) theyre doing a lot better.

2.0 are not Daniel Garcia's cheering squad, Daddy Magic is.

There's been multiple places where Cool Hand Ang could have intervened to help both Garcia and Menard but so far it's always been some one else

I think the big problem is the sound production is inconsistent

I watch on the same TV with very close to the same volume every week and some weeks you can barely hear commentary over ring entrances, while other weeks commentary is loud and crisp. The same happens with the crowd audio

Of course this is related to arena size and audio systems, but it shouldn't range as widely as it does.

E: I am a giant AEW nerd, literally wearing a AEW hoodie right now at karaoke, but the sound production is probably their most inconsistent characteristic

I hope theyre just saving up for a big pop when Garcia & Daddy Magic run out to make the save for Ang, otherwise it’s weird to me they arent interacting anymore.

Even in-arena stuff was pretty inconsistent. The Samoa Joe promo was mostly inaudible as it kept cutting out, dunno if y'all could hear it on TV. That's not counting the Don Callis/Swerve promo no one could hope to hear over the boos.

Fair but that was two months ago in January and their last proper tag (rather than trios match) was in December

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

My local comic con just added Sting and Darby Allin to their April show, joining Christian Cage. In a way, I think it’d be weird to see Sting after his retirement. Like I almost hope he shows up without his face paint on.
