That is actually Penta trying to figure out if that counts as a pose/taunt and thus should he be offended that someone else is posing at any given time.

it is weird that Spears is kind of working for me right now because he has been such a failson for all of AEW's run outside of that one fun news segment, but taking on Sammy is actually a great choice and their styles work together in my head.

So obviously he'll ruin it somehow but that'll be funny so it's all good.

Tonight's ep was fantastic. Not as many heel beatdowns, good matches all around, and OC/Penta was everything I wanted it to be; their personalities play very well off each other. I also thought Cody figure-fouring QT on top of a bus was hilarious, and is the right kind of stupid for pro wrestling.

Also dear god Miro is terrifying. Giving him some time/room to figure himself out in the midcard turned out to be a great idea. He doesn't feel like WWE Rusev at all now.

They never actually flipped the coin, did they? Spears and Sammy said they'd go first, but that doesn't answer the question of advantage. I assume it'll be pinnacle but I don't remember them actually saying that.

pinnacle's got the advantage; something along the lines of 'gently caress the coinflip' was right at the start of the promo

I was kind of put off by how dumb the figure four was, but then I remembered that Cody refused to put the figure four on QT during their exhibition match because he didn't want to hurt him. As a callback to that, I like it better.

i liked it bc cody rhodes ripped off his shirt and did a figure four on top of a bus adorned with his neck tattoo and his dog while a crowd of extras shouted "cody! cody! cody!"

it was like, such a loving over the top cody segment that it actually kinda worked for me for how loving absurd and silly it was.

Cody just like "yeah i'm not gonna help my brother and my trainees, i'm gonna hide in my bus until they come back"

Reminds me of when Brodie was defending the TNT title against Dustin and Cody had his Go Big Show announcement

I think MJF's presence both in terms of the protective booking and his mic work will keep Spears on track this time.

I'm kinda thinking Spears is less the pin guy and more the guy MJF mauls when he eventually snaps into the full psycho MJF we've seen hints of though.

I laughed really hard at the crowd coming out like he wanted to riff on the "and then everyone clapped" meme. Cody is really good at being hilariously lame.

I thought the figure four looked great, though, like there's nowhere for him to go, trapped between the fall and parts of the bus? Actually straight up cool, and the callback is smart stuff too. The usual Cody paradox.

Cody, like his dad, is hilariously extra and I can't fault him for it.

It was mentioned in the game day thread, but OC and Fenix had a TV match last year that is one of my favorite AEW matches, period. I would absolutely welcome a rematch, as OC obviously has good chemistry with lucha guys given his training and Fenix is the best wrestler on earth right now.

Pentagon Driver. He's used it a lot before but only started doing it recently in AEW I think.

Made in Japan, Shingo Takagi's finisher because Penta is on the record as a Shingo mark.
