The Kenny/Christian match was very good but I do instantly care about Hangmans story like half as much now.

Rampagethoughts Entrance music is very noisy. Chris Jericho also very noisy. 1) Kenny Omega vs Christian. I like the chyrons. Omega does a great job of looking like a douche here. I like the story they set up here. Slow start to the match. Commentary trying to build up how important this is. It takes me a while to start appreciating Christian's style in this match. He shows the work in everything he does, which is a contrast to someone like Omega who makes everything look easy once this match warms up it stays hot. Wow, I really bit on some of those 2 counts. Oh, and I really like the ending of the match. They found a way. Good work, guys. Love Orange Cassidy hanging out in the background of the Christian interview. Fuego promo. Goddamn, kid. 2) Fuego Del Sol vs Miro. We may see a murder here. God Miro is just the deadliest motherfucker in existence. TORNADO DDT! TWICE! Holy gently caress. They had me almost believing, just for a second. Miro is so furious here. The dream is over. Miro kills Fuego and then kills his dreams. Fuego comes to his feet, and then Sammy comes out with TONY KHAN? He's got another contract. And then, live on TNT, Fuego gets signed. gently caress, this show just made me cry about a jobber getting signed. Badly volume-adjusted Britt and Velvet interview. 3) Britt Baker vs Red Velvet. Black and gold on the tron. Match is pretty hot and well put together. Velvet working the wrist heavily. Velvet is working situational heel here, I really like it. Britt is so good at being a cheating shithead. Lockjaw reversal was great. This has added up to a fun spicy match. Great work by both of them. Things get a bit sloppy in the submissions sequence, but this really works well. Britt wins clean before a hometown crowd. Post match she keeps attacking Velvet. Stat comes in and... Holy gently caress, JAMIE HAYTER? Okay, I love this. Great one hour show. Good job, lads and lasses.

The fact that charismatic enjoyable heel Britt Baker is over with the crowd (and especially in her home town) only means they've "trained the crowd to hate" women other than her if I've been actively hallucinating the careers of Thunder Rosa, Tay Conti, Riho, Kris Statlander, and numerous others.

Again this goes down to yeah, AEW needs to make more time for women's matches and storylines on Dynamite. There's some cool stuff done on Dark and Elevation but that only gets a fraction of the eyeballs. I get that they were at a place for a while where the women's division needed a lot more work but the talent is there now.

Sadly I had the title change spoiled before I could watch the show, but that match was still excellent, I legit teared up alongside Fuego and the main event was fun. Great show, now make it two hours, TNT.

There seems to be a large contingent of people online who have to complain about literally loving everything all the time everywhere and it's loving exhausting. Can't have any joy, gotta make everyone else as miserable as they are.

No way - one hour on a Friday night is the perfect thing. 3 fun matches in one show and no fluff? It's perfect! Love that all of the pre-recorded stuff was only to build up what was happening that night and not next week or what's going to be on Dynamite.

I wouldn't exactly get into the business of betting against the idea of "Warner gives AEW more TV time." I love Rampage as a one-hour show, but, uh. I dunno. I wouldn't get too used to it!

There was plenty of that anyway because Tony and Cody kept referring to Rampage as "the Third Hour" and people would get Extremely Upset because they kept forgetting it was a separate show and not a third hour of Dynamite.

This timeslot is good for the fans to keep a great night of wrestling fresh on Friday nights. I promise, Rampage will not be a secondary show, it will be equivalent of Dynamite."
