I can't see saying she was a bad talker last night, you could maybe say it was a bad promo in terms of how someone talks during a promo but it's not like it was that.

Post show she hugged people at ringside and spent time slapping hands and such for a few minutes. The CEO chant was insanely loud.

Yeah, promos about how you're so happy to be in a company are always kind of lame and hard to perform. CM Punk pulled it off, but he's CM Punk. We can't hold everyone to that standard.

(And like everyone else said, the promo itself was iffy but the star power more than made up for it.)

And it only worked once for Punk - his WWE "I'm home" promo was pretty mid.

I thought Mercedes handled herself quite well. One thing I appreciate about AEW promos, good or bad, is that they're allowed to express real emotions instead of the church play-level acting WWE expects from people. Mercedes was clearly tearing up at points, but she knew how to use that in a promo and it really helped.

Great show. Just got caught up on it and I have zero complaints. So happy we got to the BCC turn on The Acclaimed part of the story.

Seeing that CMLL and STARDOM will also be part of Forbidden Door loving rules.

Mercedes is great and I love that she did an outfit change for the post-match save.

Assuming she doesn’t muscle into Willow’s spot for the TBS Title shot, is her first match Skye Blue? Then the rematch vs Willow with Willow as TBS Champion?

The feeling is good and the feeling is restored.

Anyone want to buy a gently used Wardlow? Not in as great shape anymore but he still works okay, you can re-heat him for any mid-card title feuds you need.

Overjoyed at the end of the Bang Bang Scissor Gang and Jay White back to being himself.

Told Paloma to make sure to pay extra attention during the Darby match because he was going to do something really stupid before he climbs Mount Everest.

As we were driving home I made another reference to that and she responds "Ok what does that mean because I heard the guy behind us say something about Everest too."

"He's going to climb Mount Everest."

She thought it was some weird, opaque inside joke rather than something stupid Darby was going to do.

no see I loved that match. I love when a meat match is just two heavy weights battering the crap out of each other and is shorter match.

Wardlow got a lot of poo poo in and it all looked great. And Joe jumping on his back for the choke out was amazing

I haven't been since 2004 but I didnt like space mountain that much. I liked the rock and roll rollercoaster and splash mountain way more.

hot takes:

-- wardlow match was very baseline and idk what the gently caress you do with him now. they had that storybook vignette for no reason lol. honestly I just don't know, it really seems like he's got no real place in the company.

-- willow checking on riho postmatch was cute and reminded me of why she's always gotta be at the heart of the division, fantastic wrestler, better person. The plan should be Willow winning the title and eventually Mercedes works up the ladder to face her while Willow gets some defenses.

-- absolutely nuts that AEW gets Ospreay at the zenith of his powers. Dude has done the work on himself, got mentally and physically fitter, sounds even better than before. Love how hard he shouts on the mic, fired up to poo poo

-- bears repeating Okada absolutely a natural at everything, he really is just that good. Have him decimate Eddie and then give me PAC v Okada at Dynasty; I don't need 3 Eddie matches with him.

-- Darby Allin has saved both Konosuke and Switchblade from tired storylines this year, the man is an MVP of making other guys look like a zillion bucks.

I appreciate that in addition to acknowledging that darbs was leaving to go on expedition, they also broke his leg to write him off tv. Doing both simultaneously is pwn.

I hope we get updates saying that Darby is recovering comfortably at home and also at 27000 feet
