graph posted:i thought the lights going out during the opening match was brilliant to have it lead to the second Shard posted:Realistically how many more great wrestlers and potential stars from WWE could AEW even hold? That kind of brings me back to something I mentioned in the GDT, which is that if we're talking more people getting TV time, I'm fine with getting an extra 5-6 minute match in favor of less filler. Jericho's singalong could've been the tail-end of PiP, the MMA guy yelling could've been a social media clip, they don't need a full wrestler's entrance just to interview someone, etc. If they added a quick Women's "in action" match featuring one of the ranked top 5 against an unranked challenger, or Miro beating on Griff in a TNT defense, I'd be totally fine with having peaks-and-valleys match lengths. I'm glad they managed to get 5 matches on the card tonight, but it's usually about 4 max with promos for the rest of the time. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be able to swing 3 matches per hour at minimum.

In lieu of security, they should just have Miro patrol aimlessly around ringside and stare at people.

I liked how they didn't show Cody running down the aisle to Arn's rescue, so by the camera shots it looked like he just materialized in the ring.

So with the Karl/Mox thing, I wonder when they're actually going to take the IWGP US title off of Mox. The Good Brothers are doing a stint in Japan again, so it makes sense if Karl brings it back, then gets beaten there before returning to Impact. But if the plan was to return it this year, I figure they would've given it to Nagata. I'm still a bit surprised they didn't put it on Kenny. He's got history as the first ever US champion, he's collecting all the belts he can, and The Elite was going to take out Mox for weeks anyway.

MorningMoon posted:Now that most of the spoiler thread stuff is announced, very curious about regular Dark because, as you can see, it's over ten freaking matches on Dark:Elevation, and nothing was filmed for Dark. Nea posted:I will say i think this is a flaw and that AEW should have more poo poo that's just weird in it, but that's personal taste. I would /love/ if Kris Stat was just an alien. I got in with lucha underground and it's left me a craving. Hopefully Malakai and Abadon, once she gets called up to the main show, get more of that in there. If you liked LU, start watching MLW. Dario's there as the same character under a new name, and putting together a new spinoff show that's supposed to show up this autumn. It's basically "What's Azteca Underground doing in the MLW Zone" but hey, I'll take what I can get.

Lamuella posted:I seem to remember Pillman and Garrison pushing pretty hard to add Julia to the act and the idea coming from them, because they thought a cheerleader would round out their varsity gimmick perfectly Davros1 posted:Nah, gently caress him. When MLW came back, he had a match against Myron Reed, and he basically pulled an Ivelisse. He was so lazy, so apathetic in that match that it turned me off of him. I get that he didn't want to be in MLW anymore, but you don't take it out on your opponent. At one point, he threw a clothesline where he barely bothered to lift his arm. It was so disrespectful to Reed, who's busting his rear end off to put on a match. Reed is one guy who I really hope gets a look by AEW, even in a Dark or Elevation capacity. He's still pretty young too so he's got a lot of career ahead of him.

Pylons posted:I've been re-watching the Kenny/Hangman segment from last week occasionally and the biggest standout to me is that the crowd got so loving loud when he was in position for the Buckshot Lariat. It ruled. For anyone who says AEW doesn't do long-term storytelling, refer them to the minutes following the Kenny/Page vs Bucks title match at Revolution 2020 for this very reason. That's nearly a year and a half callback.

Given that Cody's reaction to fighting a British guy was Tone-Deaf American Hero, I'm fully expecting his role against Malakai Black to be White Savior and not understanding why that's problematic either.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiRW9fdpViw This is a pretty good video about how well AEW has built the roster. There's a particularly good point made about 7 minutes in about how different the cards are between Road Rager and Fyter Fest, and how it doesn't seem like there's anything missing because of the way they rotate their featured talent.
