I haven't had a chance to catch up on the opening tag yet, but that was a good show and Miro should take Pillman's jacket as a trophy.

Kazarian should be taking Elite trophies.

Just ban Shawn Spears at this point if that's all he's good for.
He won't be very good at putting Sammy Guevara over once they have their match, that's for sure.

He put him over at Stadium Stampede, immensely.

was that actually a shofar in miro's new theme or was someone just posting things

There was some sort of horn blowing as the opening sting. No idea how someone would call it out as a shofar immediately.

That women's match was so weird. I was fully expecting Vicky to finally make her announcement and reveal that someone was replacing her in the match. Also seems weird to have Britt playing the cowardly heel role while Nyla plays the monster heel role. I can already hear Bryan Alvarez screaming about not knowing who to root for. I suppose at least their characters were consistent though, and the crowds really want to root for Britt anyway. Kind of reminds me of how NoD Rock started to get cheers while still being a heel.

Root for whoever, poo poo's awesome.

I agree gender reveal things are kind of lame and old fashioned.

These profoundly stupid things are squarely the fault of my generation, millennials. Their prominence started in the late 00s.

To chat about wrasslin', Hangman has already lost the inaugural AEW title match, became alienated by the Elite, ate the pin to lose the Tag Belts, and briefly lost his #1 spot to Brian Cage. He should absolutely not lose his first title match against Kenny.

maybe its just a bad idea in general to have 70 year old men doing commentary on live sports. thank God JR is only 69 and thus his brain is only partially mush instead of full mush like those guys!

This is some hosed up ageism and it sucks.

So anyway, in his Q&A podcast Sean Ross Sapp reiterated that the releases will have a domino effect a few months from now and (separately, though I got the vibe they were related) that a "big name" has a contract expiring this year and is planning to jump ship (whether from WWE to AEW or AEW to WWE or another promotion entirely he didn't specify).

When's Randy's contract up? Oh, 2024. Nevermind.

With the number of ex-WWE folks in AEW now at various levels of the company, I don't think anyone notable or with sense would hop from AEW to WWE. There's far too many people to heavily advise them against it.

Well that's the point. The importance of a match counts. MJF was already looking past Sammy before the match even happened.

Yeah and he almost got caught for it. He had to resort to cheating to even close out that match.

Has MJF ever not cheated to close out a match? It doesn't feel that significant to me

He took advantage of Jericho trying to cheat at Full Gear, but that match was all over in regards to rules. Also, he's the heeliest heel on the roster. His gimmick is "I'm better than you, and you know it," and it crumbles to dust when you kick out of a top-rope tombstone.

He also came up with Jungle Jack Perry.


That's pure business acumen at work there. It's humanizing him, and setting up to drop the Jungle Boy part of his name whenever it's actually appropriate to do so (years from now).

See I never take that sort of thing as "aw I guess MJF isn't actually that good" but more like "wow Sammy is that good, huh". To me it elevates the guy kicking out of a move more than it brings down the guy doing the move. Protecting finishers notwithstanding, obvs.

Both can be true.
