If AEW is missing one thing it's a 2008-era Smackdown opening video package recapping the PPV set to slowdown and dramatic music and I'm not joking

Agreed with this. Get Tony (rip) to open up the wallet for a cool licensed song and get Tigerstyle to cut something together and throw it at the top of a post-ppv Dynamite.

I noticed when NXT showed some guys but didn't introduce their names Bryan was just like "yeah whatever" but he went on a 20 min tirade about Mina Shirakawa. Guess we know who butters his bread 🙄

AEW doesn't seem particularly subtle to me. What parts are going over his head?

Why didn't they explain why Ospreay didn't do the tiger driver???? (Ospreay explains why he didn't do the tiger driver in a later segment)

It's not that it's going over his head, it's that AEW doesn't follow up on PPV events and something that happened on the scrum.

And Excalibur explained it on commentary too at the moment, but Bryan got mad because he said “remember” and this would apparently make the people who didn’t watch the presser feel left out and not part of “the club” for some reason? There was a bunch of other odd criticism like Bryan saying they never recap, then immediately saying that recapped during this show. The Mina shirakawa stuff somehow being to subtle for him.

Ospreay explained in the promo to Don and Don said "I don't care, break their necks" to set up the Callis feud

Like, it was all set up in the ring and in the promos after the gauntlet match

Does Alvarez need EX to do "earlier today Will Ospreay told me that he feels really bad for using the storm driver and I quote "Bruv, I ain't doing that move ever again"

Is this just one of those things where someone missed something, and now are getting mad about being called out on it rather than accept that they were wrong, so they triple down until it becomes a big dumb argument that has no real goal

Because I think that happens pretty regularly with bralvarez

Bryan saw and discussed the later explanation segment, that's the wildest part of all this.

They also not super subtly suggested the reason for no Orange (and potentially other people) was that Punk was trying to cater to a very specific demographic (Jim Cornette and his followers) who did in fact praise Collision as "not feeling like AEW at all, it felt like an actual wrestling show" and lord knows those people fuckin' hate Orange Cassidy.

The Mina/Mariah thing was particularly funny because he acted like since Mina was gone for a week he assumed the angle had been dropped. "Where's the follow-up after two weeks ago??!" Uhm, it's right here.

The Osprey thing was dumb too because Excalibur literally said when he went for the Tiger Driver and stopped that Osprey "had said he wasn't going to do the move again after what happened to Danielson" and Bryan goes "if you didn't watch the press conference, how would you know he said that?" I dunno Bryan, maybe because Excalibur just told you he said that at some point after the Osprey match. And even if Excalibur hadn't said that, maybe you could assume based on the result of the Danielson match that was second guessing using it. It's not a loving complicated story that requires the viewer to have some in depth knowledge of prowrestling.

Could they do a better job of building these things up, absolutely, but Bryan is disengaged with 80% of the reviews he does that aren't NXT.

He literally doesn't understand the Jericho character problem either. Many people are bored with Jericho, and some people don't want to see him because of the Kylie Rae accusation, but it's hilarious that Bryan is worried Jericho is going to be "too good" as a heel and accidentally become a face.

the worstr bryan take is confusing fans cheering = people not being a heel because it leads to him saying that The Scapegoat Jack Perry should've been a face. He needs to learn what Love to Hate means.

He was the flag bearer for pointing out how dumb it was that AEW didn't turn MJF fully face right away. That along with Revolution's title match booking being confusing, with Joe as the monster heel, Hangman as the budding heel, and Swerve as a tweener. The fans love all three, but it's not good because there's no babyface. Swerve wasn't, because he'd seen Swerve as a babyface, and this wasn't Swerve as a babyface.

His AEW recaps have been unbearable for a long while now.

Well, he did confront Hogan with a gun but apparently the latter incident was a set up by Vince after Harley knew they'd be working together.

That the only person who talks about it is Hogan seems to suggest that Harley setting the ring on fire was bullshit.

The most likely story seems to be Harley got drunk and came in to confront Vince when they came to Kansas but they got Vince out of there. Apparently, Harley was armed(whether intentionally of just a 2nd amendment kind of deal is up for debate). After Harley had decided to join the WWF, then they turned this into an angle where he threatened Hogan with a gun in front of witnesses(other wrestlers). Nobody seems to corroborate the fire thing and given that setting a fire in a public arena would probably cause wrestling to be outright banned; I'd guess that one is Hogan bullshit.
