I keep seeing people saying that. Saying that this is going to be the coming out party for Juice Robinson. This is not me trying to be a dick, this is me genuinely asking.... What am I missing? I don't get get it. I find him annoying as fuck on the microphone. I think his look sucks, and I find the ring work I've seen from him in AEW mediocre at best. (Never saw him in New Japan to be fair)

You hate to see "The King of Rock 'n' Rumble" get submitted! Shocked that Kerr didn't smash Babalu, as this time period was the height of him just demolishing everyone he got in the cage with,

I know some people are excited for The Hurt Syndicate, and I'm not anti-WWE guys going to AEW, but 3 guys whose combined age is nearly 150 might not be what "the alternative" needs. I like these Julia Hart vignettes. Nice way to re-introduce the character. Also like Private Party coming out and sitting in their VIP section to watch the qualifying matches to challenge them at the PPV. Plays to the gimmick and shows them scouting the competition. Good stuff.

Penelope Ford does yet another job, as Charlotte Fla.... I mean Britt Baker makes yet another return to ever decreasing crowd noise. Penelope deserves better. Harley Cameron is going to end up getting herself over as a babyface if they keep letting her talk. She is tremendous. It will be interesting to see how the crowd takes to Mina Shirikawa if she is going to be around full time

Probably showing my age here, but Nick Waynes Mom got it going on... Respectfully, of course. Not feeling this PPV coming up, but O'Spreay and Kyle Fletcher should be good fun if nothing else. I hate to keep harping on it, but Adam Cole looks awful both physically and in his ring work. It looked like he could barely lift Takeshita tonight. He looked like he was falling over. It's just bad

Thought for sure they were splitting Private Party, so they got me there. Glad to see the belts off the Bucks. Someone in charge must love them some Kris Statlander because my god the pushes just won't stop. I am very meh on Lashley, but Swerve/Shelton was very entertaining.

The crowd counting Cole out during the injury angle was hilarious.

Well, one thing Adam Cole didn't do during his 14 month lay off was train his upper body.

I know they are setting up Darby and Orange as the saviors of AEW in this angle against Moxley and crew, but damn would this be an amazing time for Eddie Kingston to come back and lead the fight and win the big one.

You all might want to take a look on the first page cause I think a bunch of Free Agents from when Last Stop Tour got a roster and immediately fired 95% of it never made it back into the free agents list. I definitely see Brian Lee and Bill Dundee missing, but I am sure there are others.

Have they said if the PPV's will be free with a Max subscription like the WWE shows currently are with Peacock, or will they be money on top of a Max subscription like the UFC shows are with ESPN+

I absolutely don't think he should be the person to beat Danielson. At this point, I'm not sure who that should be. But I do think this new gimmick is something interesting and exciting for him, and I think the promo that opened the show last night was fantastic.

I'm glad they are finally realizing that the fans like The Outrunners! Fantastic promo by Moxley to start the show. At least to me, AEW is starting to feel like a product that is trending in the right direction again. For a while there it felt stagnant and pointless. Hopefully if they can be consistent and get some people and angles hot it will help the crowd size problem too. I do think sooner rather than later, the Jericho problem has to get addressed though. His shit is consistently the weakest part of the show. It's time for him to go.

I thought Giulia looked good in her debut. Not sure about the animal pelt on the back of her outfit, and I thought Chelsea maybe took a little too much of the match, but all in all I think it came off well.

That's amazing. I certainly hope that becomes available to see outside of visiting The Estonian Sports and Olympic Museum, because I can't see that being in my travel plans anytime soon.

Maybe I am biased for being a huge fan, but I thought Nigel looked pretty damn good for a guy whose last match was in December of 2011

Just checking out what you all have going here and saw a few things: David Taylor is listed in both ECW and WCW Johnny Gunn and Tom Brandi are the same person. Dick Slater retired from injury in 1996 Doink the Clown is listed in free agency and the WAR section. (Assuming this is supposed to be Ray Apollo, and not Matt Borne, cause if it's the latter, he's also listed as himself)

It's amazing that Jeff Jarrett has gone from a guy who had Go Away heat from like 1999 to 2014 to getting deafening pops at 57 years old.

Swerve did indeed come out with Rave's Embassy jacket draped over his shoulders. That's a nice tribute.

Is that Jimmy Rave's coat?

They are going to need a long video package to fix that streamer issue!

Nigel was my favorite wreatler for much of the RoH era and I was there the night that he had his last match in a VFW that smelled like piss and had stray cats running around, so I am SO happy to see this moment. That should never have been how his career ended.

If you didn't see Collision last night, the crowd totally shit on Hook and popped for everything that Big Bill did to the point that he couldn't contain his amusement.

Brian Cage and Sammy Guevara both dressing like Wolverine while on opposite teams in the same match is pretty funny.

I could see them leaving Tonga Loa out of the match, and having Rock come in last.
