I genuinely dont know how they ran a 1 hour show with 3 matches, a bunch of commercials, and a CM Punk return where he was seemingly allowed to go at his own pace and managed to finish at 11pm on the dot. Not even comparing to the other company and how little they can do in 3 hours, thats just impressive show running.

Man that was a fun show AEW has been killing it lately I seriously don't get the hate I see on twitter and facebook. It's just fun to watch. I'm not the hugest punk fan but what a moment biggest pop in years and I'm hype for him vs Darby. Also I want an ice cream bar

Introduce a new wrestler with just a giant loving head. loving huge. Have him laugh that his head is so large that nobody will ever be able to kick it in. Then let nature take its course.

One of the top 3 moments Ive ever seen in 25 years of watching wrestling. And the hell of it is that I knew it was coming, and yet somehow it was even better than I could have imagined.

As an aside from the CM Punk thing: can I just say it was nice to see Private Party do Private Party things again? They're been Crony A and Crony B for Matt Hardy for so long that I started to doubt if they would do the things that made them awesome in the first place. It felt like every match they've been in on Dynamite they've slowed the pace to Hardy's level and have been much worse off for it. Addendum: I don't generally watch Dark so if they've been doing that stuff there all along I wouldn't know it.

Since one of the criticisms I heard thrown at PP a lot is that they're sloppy 'Get My poo poo In' types. I don't know if I agree. Seeing them do iso tag stuff feels so wrong.

I think it's exactly this and last night's match of good evidence that it worked. They looked smoother in a way they didn't before. Less moving from spot to spot.

Compared to two years ago, Private Party have gone from being a talented spot based team to being able to tell ring stories. If Hardy has been working with them on that, he's done a very good job.

There's also the story element of Private Party doing things Matt's way, and it exactly hasn't been paying off for them, which could lead to them turning face in the future

I think you could've kept Private Party face if Top Flight hadn't signed, but them signing kind of blew up their spot. Of course, Darius got injured after that, so the heel turn feels less necessary but they couldn't have known that at the time.

Less moving from spot to spot. good way of looking at it! they were pretty weak in some of the transitional / set up spots, also playing out their role in the match sometimes, so maybe staying grounded and in street clothes busting their rear end on dark getting reps in helped

Yeah, they don't have much in common besides wrestling style. Not like the gimmicks overlapped or something.
