Jon Moxley was so good a champion that I have genuinely forgotten that Jericho was the first.

Ok gently caress it - favorite Mox moments of 2020.

Punished Mox.

Stealing the car from Jericho

Winning the title

Being booked like the best in the world

Getting the bulldog choke over

Convincing me MJF had a chance to win

Still having the car from Jericho

Everything he did and said with Eddie Kingston

You forgot literally the best one. Him flipping off Tazz as he choked out Cage and forced Tazz to throw in the towel.

Not choked out, he had him in a shoulder lock on the shoulder that kept him out of action for like three to four months.

I thought Mox vs. Cage was pretty weak but I give it a pass because of the angle surrounding it and it feels like that was where Mox finally found his champion character.

Yeah, Kenny definitely "instantly turned heel" tonight, he has not been turning heel for weeks and weeks.

Sorry, "Sting debuts in AEW and one of their top stars cements his heel turn and steals the title to jump ship to TNA" is that better?

hope AEW steals most the womens division, The North, Chris Bey, Willie Mack, and Joe Doering from TNA.

I definitively understand being skeptical about an Impact partnership but I thought the match was great even with the commercial breaks. Also loved the ending visuals.

AEW is trending heavy on social media. Like explosivo said, I’m seeing a ton of chatter about what happened tonight.

Overall, this is for the best with wrestling. There doesn’t need to be some stupid as gently caress war between fan bases where you gotta protect and STAND UP for one and rip apart the others.

You don’t want to revitalize Impact. Or WWE. or NWA. or AEW.

You want to revitalize wrestling. Help it survive longer and make it relevant somehow.

This is a leap of faith move and a big gamble but poo poo, everybody wins here. Tony is gonna get what he wants out of this. So will Impact. Hell, this is maybe the way to get the NJPW/AEW relationship restarted since Impact and NJPW are tight.

I thought tonight’s episode was decent overall. Wrestlers in different promotions are talking about tonight. It has big eyes on it.

The landscape of wrestling really did just start changing tonight. Little moves, but could bring big results and new eyes and chatter.

I’m here for the ride. I am loving HERE for the betterment of wrestling starting now!

Kenny Omega storyline buys his own promotion in Canada in Impact because AEW disrespected him or whatever, maybe thats where this is going.

This post tells no lies tbqh.

I'm going to be very slightly shook/paranoid until Mox wins Big Plat again. I still have WWE-related PTSD re: his post top run booking, even though AEW has built a ton of good will wrt booking.
