Main event match itself was fine, angle around it was mjf trying to write a dollar store version of a 1997 stone cold Steve Austin angle for himself and the whole “mjf isn’t cleared but somehow the guy in crutches and in a boot is” bit was a bit too much for me

the funny part about the naming of the continential title is the announcers will absolutely gently caress up the names of it and the intercontinental title on pbp. i can hear the taz flubs now.

No comment on the quantity of it but I think the quality of the women’s storylines is pretty high right now. Looking forward to what Mariah May adds to Toni’s angle too

Also, I'd fix all the problems AEW has by making everyone get along through threats of violence.

AEW making me sit through another Miro "my wife is interested in other men" angle has honestly been worse than anything MJF has done including last night's garbage.

Remember when she came back and everyone who made those jokes right away got yelled at because aew wasn’t going to be stupid enough to do that sort of poo poo lol

Fun fact: If you are taken away in a ambulance and manage to overpower the paramedics then legal it belongs to you.

That’s why I always thought it was kind of unfair they only let really sick or injured people in them. Seems like it stacks the odds in their favor.

Anyone who celebrated Punk getting fired was celebrating the beginning of the end for AEW. Personally it brings me no pleasure that AEW is dying, but it is.

I watched my favorite company die when I was a kid so I’m prepared this time. I just hope The Invasion angle is better this time around.

punk getting fired wasnt the beginning of the end, punk getting hired was.

I've never cared for them. They're the Red Hot Chile Peppers of wrestling, where like they can only do one song/match but at least it's pretty good, make a silly face at the camera, yada yada California.

I've had a theory about the devil that started with me joking around and coming up with the worst possible reveal for this angle, but I've slowly started coming around to the idea that my stupidest idea possible might actually be where they're going.

The devil is Tony Khan.

Let me show my work on this theory:

MJF debuted The Devil gimmick when he came back from his worked shoot contract tantrum with Tony. Now Tony has decided to commandeer the persona for his revenge.

Tony's goal is to get MJF to lose the championship before The Bidding War of 2024 so MJF can't hold the title hostage. Joe is his chosen corporate champion. Joe relinquished the ROH TV title to prove his loyalty to Tony Khan and because Khan promised him the biggest prize in return. Tony as the Devil has psychologically worn MJF down by attacking both his enemies and friends, thus isolating him. Now he's physically worn down and can be more easily destroyed by Joe.

This also explains why the Devil would help soften up MJF for Joe. Why would another wrestler do all this to MJF just to let Joe reap the rewards? Because it's not a wrestler. It's Tony Khan.

Remember that Dynamite where Tony dragged Cole and MJF into his office and screamed at them, but was all nice in front of the camera? That was the planting the seeds.

Also, Tony grew up on 90s wrestling. How long could he possibly resist doing his own heel turn and living out a Bischoff/Mr. McMahon/Higher Power angle.
