The only negative of the show was when they cut away from the stinger splash

tonight also proved that tk is a visionary and moxley should keep wild thing forever.

I think TK's vision on that score was saying "yeah ok" when Moxley asked for it. That's why they used the wrong version for the first outing.

i'm also surprised at how over Ricky was, considering he didn't get to hop on until after the pandemic started and he's been on the shelf for awhile, but i'm so happy for him to get his time to shine because he honestly feels like he's gonna be right there with MJF, JB, Sammy etc in the next 5 years of the company's progression

He's also got an abysmal record outside of the Darks. We'll see if crowds outside of Texas like him as much.

4) When did Matt Hardy get normal? I miss weird Matt Hardy

I think Matt found being broken depressing with absolutely no crowd. He literally put out a youtube video called "the refocusing of matt hardy" where he said "I'm normal now". So he dusted off his old Big Money Matt character and started signing talent to contracts where he gets 30% of their income. Started off with Private Party, then Butcher and the Blade, then TH2. On Dark he's just signed Indian wrestler Jora Johl to act as bag carrier.

Lol that Miro's gimmick is now literally "I sucked for eight months, then I redeemed myself" after everybody spent so long trying to defend that detritus.

I think he was in WWE for longer than 8 months.

Really? I had no idea. I vaguely remember seeing those figures on a lot of shirts some time long ago in the past, and thought it was just a generic Benetton thing or whatever.

Keith Haring and later on his estate were incredible successful at marketing his artwork. His jiggly men basically saturated the culture for a bit there.

I just bought nosebleed tickets for the New York show. It’s “obstructed view” but I’m hoping and praying that’s because it’s in a section perpendicular to the stage rather than having a big rear end pillar in front of me

But good show, Penelope Ford Vs. Sakazaki was good and I liked that the crowd were into her. With just 1 month, what the heck will she even do?

Other matches announced are:
Big Shotty Lee & Brock Anderson v. The Gun Club
Angelico v. Jungle Boy
Dante Martin v. Shawn Dean
Zachariah v. Lance Archer
Hikaru Shida v. Dulce Tormenta
Probably a few more to come, and it's all been posted in the spoiler thread for a week.

More Elevation matches:
Orange Taylor & Chuckie T. v. Chaos Project
Penta & Eddie v. Cezar Bononi & JD Drake
Baron Black v. Kaz
Tay Conti & Serena Deeb v. Vertvixen & Jazmin Allure
Red Velvet v. Julia!
Will Hobbs v Lucas Chase.

Conti and Deeb is a strange partnership as Conti's sorta face and Deeb is sorta heel. I predict a bit where Tay tries to get Serena to dance after the victory. Wheeler Yuta is in the best friends corner, so they've really taken him to heart. And I hope Drake and Eddie get to chop the hell out of one another.

What the hell flowers were in the coffin? Why were they IN the coffin? Don't flowers usually have buds?

They were black roses, right? Probably made from plastic. And generally the bud blooms into the flower, so w/ a single-stem rose like that one then you wouldn't have any other buds.

There was a bit last promo where Rebel was pulling some "I'm not sure about that one" faces while standing behind Britt, and someone wondered if they were teasing a split. Which would surely be a terrible career move for Rebel unless she wanted to go entirely backstage again.

On the one hand, hooray Fuego for being popular enough to be the face of AEW for a charity drive. One the other hand, the Salvation Army are just loving awful in every particular.

He's not the face of AEW, he's a grateful homeless man who Cody gave his pants to. He lost his home by flying to Jacksonville so much.

Considering the match moved almost immediately to a quick finish... who knows. Didn't look like a bump at all.

Hobbs matches on the Darks never run long. It's not impossible that he concussed the dude though, I wasn't watching that closely.

You should read the contract before you sign it, imo.
e: another excerpt from the Jake the Snake podcast

quote:

A year or two from now, if maybe J.R. doesn’t want to do it as often, I can be there. I can be the guy they hand it off to. I can be the guy when J.R., he wants to go to a football game, ‘Well Jake can take it this time.’

Sounds good!

Ehh. I know Max is heeling, but I'm not sure I need to see a wrestling feud where the heels repeatedly try to slut-shame a teenager. It seems lazy and outdated in 2021.

If CM Punk signs with AEW that would suck for that CM Punk super fan Cora Jade that probably signed a 5 year deal with WWE and hasn’t done anything besides lose matches on NXT (and 205 live for some reason??)

It would be good news for her because she would have new CM Punk performances to watch.
