Okay well both Lance and Hobbs are in the scramble that replaced Meat Madness, so either

1) Khan was gonna add more people that can't make it or
2) It's just Wardlow and Khan just pulled it because Wardlow was gonna win, so what's the point

Wardlow was also in the graphic and still in the match so I assume it was Miro or Lee that got pulled. I have no idea why he did this.

No one would even have known Miro was supposed to be in the match. They could've added Cage tonight and just run it but they have to overcomplicate even a throwaway match with no stakes on the ppv.

Lol the "throw a bunch of people in a big sloppy match with no build" is the classic AEW PPV bout

Why would anyone call it an All Star Scramble match. That's absolutely stupid sounding and means nothing. Just have an 8 man match if you want one. It's coming across really desperate that Tony gives everything a weird fancy name to make it seem special when it's completely not

Winner gets a world title shot, that's pretty special.

I'd have to look deeper but I'm preeeeeetty sure this one only started really moving after Big Business. Whether that's Mone or Eddie vs. Okada, says quite a bit about how the new acquisitions are landing.

They opened up a lot of seats, mostly hard cam, this week and they went really fast. Hard to say whether it was a Big Business pop or people just waiting for those seats. If I could go I'd have waited for this last batch of seats, especially since they were pretty reasonably priced ($30-112 CAD)

It honestly could be both her and Okada. Toronto's been turning out for the Rainmaker since the ROH Global Wars days at least.

I haven't seriously watched the WWE since like WrestleMania 30. I thought AEW would get me back into wrestling and for the first couple years it did but I fell off a little after I went to Forbidden Door 2 live. Hope that helps.

So you don't actually know if WWE has devoted airtime to bagging on AEW?

I was talking about this with a friend the other day, that at the crux of it all AEW, in many ways, makes me love and want to watch more wrestling while WWE, in many ways, makes me hate and want to watch less.

Swerve vs. Joe exists in a weird middle ground where i spent the entire build thinking this isnt the right time, he shouldnt win. Then when Swerve came out, I was like yeah this is it, this is the time to win. And when he won, I was like, wait, that's it? I wanted to feel more. I wanted it to feel bigger.

I get this, it was kind of a delayed reaction for me where I was still coming off the many highs in the show and only fully felt it during the scrum. He's sitting there with the title in front of him and it just felt right. YMMV, though.
