JR's flub is so hilariously bad i feel like Tony Khan can only laugh while kinda pulling his hair a bit

at the same time, retire JR and let's get a booth that skews towards the money demo age wise please ffs, i'm so over JR's grumpy old man routine, flubs, whining, and hearing about Buster Meatshed, Hammer "The Killer" Bludovich, Johnny Whippits, Fancy Freddie Dance, The Mongol, and all the other dead mid atlantic jaybrones

I don't think Hangman has to lose to Kenny the first attempt, he's already lost to Kenny clean as a whistle in the middle of the ring, the fallout from that moment, and the dissolution of his tag team, losing his friends and his titles has already created the chasm of doubt he has to cross in order to beat Kenny. I feel like the build to him taking Kenny on the first time and losing would be waaaay too deflating and difficult to put the train back on the tracks at a good clip in time for Kenny to drop, and the time is coming.

Hangman has spent a year and a half being absolutely wrecked by everything, getting played by FTR into betraying his own friends, getting kicked out of his group (that shattered mirror!), losing to FTR, losing to Kenny, hiding in the dark order lair chugging whiskey and spinning his wheels, it's time for the training montage and the W imo.

My only question is what happens after Hangman beats Kenny? i feel like we expect this Kenny Loses World Tour where he returns the titles back to where they belong, but maybe he can do his own thing for awhile? He'd still be a triple champion, he can defend IMPACT and AAA, he could go to Japan for a stint. I mean, it's LIKELY he drops all the belts and takes some well earned time off, but who knows

Another thing I loved about the Dark Order segment backstage is how when Hangman came in hollerin', they didn't even waver in their surety that it was time, they're more confident in themselves and in their friendship with Adam as a person, rather than their fanboy recruiting, and they know what's best for their friend and that it's time for him to stand up, and Adam couldn't even challenge them on it

This is cool, didn’t know Nyla’s wife designed her gear

i didn't know Nyla was married! that's so awesome. it's cool how many wrestler's wives get involved in their costuming :3:

i think Brandon Cutler's wife and Hangman's do so as well

Speaking of divisive things, Miro's new theme, Redeemer is up online and it's loving awesome but maybe not a great wrestling theme as it currently stands. It's an epic TV show theme, it's genuinely excellent, but I'm not sure how well it's going to translate with a crowd.

ahaha, man. i think the horn fanfare is good enough for what Miro is doing and that's about all we'll get most entrances, it does get hella dramatic though

I think there was mention of the theme getting built up as time goes on which is probably a good idea, but I'm extremely here for a guy getting announced by a fuckin shofar before he brings down the literal wrath of god on you

i love that he prefaces the game over with the stomp the middle of the back, it's like the start of a Mortal Kombat fatality

edit: you could stick Miro right into MK12 or whatever with the Game Over, just have him roll back and take off the torso, give him a Zangief moveset

I didn't see anybody saying JR should die for his commentary but I sure do see people saying "the headset is the only thing keeping him alive!" and I think THAT'S pretty weird.

I like the idea of AEW adding trios belts, but maintaining lucha libre trios rules (for tags, etc), it'd add a whole different style/element to the card

he's the #1 contender, but he's still ducking Kenny and hasn't changed his mind on it yet, they have time to build one more defense for Kenny that galvanizes Hangman into action, or an angle where The Elite decide to gently caress with him/his friends and set up Kenny's fall for All Out.

granted, that's if they hit the ground running basically THIS Wednesday, if we don't see movement on it soon, it might be a longer build than we're thinking

i don't think Hangman necessarily has to lose again to make the story great, but he does have to be well and surely provoked

I feel like The Bucks acknowledging Dark Order's role in stirring poo poo up is important, even if it was silly and done on BTE, hints to me that they'll be setting a fire under everything soon, poo poo is gonna get wild

Church Merch gang is completely out of ideas/steam, kick them off for a month, or have them go back to stealing poo poo and selling it, idk

But yeah, not the best episode, no trick shots, no BTE belt stuff, Peter and Leva is eh-tier

edit:
also gosh it looks so fun to be a heel, the Good's and Nick just outside the ring throwing a tantrum and crying about losing in front of all the jeering fans lol

the only thing i can think with a bunch of people looking for bookings is that AEW is probably going to look for new/local talent to toss onto the B-shows while touring since they'll be in new places

i just hope we weren't experiencing a bunch of holding pattern content that's about to be mercilessly gutted. i can do without some things, but don't you dare take my Wingmen or gently caress with Dark Order :mad:
