Still dying at the thought that was Vince's idea to keep Adam Cole in the fold. Saw some WWE Like he really came up with that and was like "goddamn pal, he won't be able to pass that up". Also how awkward must the next Danielson/Garcia family get together must be when it was Johnny Ace's job to keep Bryan and obviously that didn't happen.

As someone who gets deluged at work from people calling in to order every major PPV event, the idea that cable boxes are some dinosaur relic from a bygone era is kind of an inside the bubble thing. Yes more people are comfortable doing things on the internet, but it's still a relatively tiny percentage. It's not just The Olds Not Getting Technology either, a lot of people have the capability of doing things online and just prefer watching it via their TV provider because it's what's they are comfortable with.

Yeah it's him not really having done anything but look mean but you know it's in his DNA to destroy people and you're just waiting for him to snap one day and start suplex the shit out of people.

TK offered Moriarty a contract after the match so it's good to see a local guy do good.

Also it was the perfect way to get the crowd to turn on Adam Cole was to tell Tony he can't be friends with Britt anymore. The heelest of heel maneuvers.

Really good show indeed. Everything seemed hot and was definitely setting things up for the next cycle. Can you imagine going back to like 2018 and telling everyone that we'd have a real alternative national promotion and they are going to give you Omega vs Bryan? You'd probably be told that's some message board fantasy stuff, so of course someone who posted on DVDVR made it happen.

It doesn't help that Mox makes his entrance from goddamn Cleveland and takes forever to get to the ring.

I mean, that's part of his schtick that Kenny dresses like an obnoxious asshole, because he's supposed to be one.

Adam Cole vs Jungle Boy seems like it would slap very hard.

I love that KawadaSmile vs Shawn Spears is PWO's version of Tony Schiavone vs MJF.

Also MJF not speaking any lies about Cincinnati.

I think Lambert's act is good, gives them an avatar for the fans to rally against. Like how Paul E used to use the specter of the WWF as the always looming unseen villian.

Hobbs' gear reminds me of the Nitro ring apron with the flames.

The place is going to come unglued when Hook finally kills someone, and it's awesome.

I'm so hyped for Suzuki/Mox that anything else that happens will be gravy.

It always felt weird to me as a JCP fanboy that Cody clearly was trying to relive his dad's career but had an Anderson manage him without turning. Then again, Cody's made himself so unlikable recently (I heard that the ad for his reality show got booed in the building in Chicago) that Arn turning would probably get a massive babyface pop.

Also I never got the vibe Cody was "the Boss", from the start it was always portrayed that the 4 VPs were on equal standing with only Tony above them.

It really comes off like Cody's mentally distanced himself from wrestling at this point but seems to think that leaving entirely would make him look bad since he was one of the founders. So we get this weird Codyverse (I like that term) that is only tangentially connected to AEW. The only reference to him I can remember was Black saying he was gonna kick Dustin's head off like he did Cody.

I know this makes me a horrible person but my first thought was "yeah I bet, Vince just ripped his heart out" when I saw the announcement.

It's time to be a lonely warrior toooooonight One thing I love about AEW is that if you fantasy book any AEW person vs anyone in the world not working for WWE/CMLL there's good odds it might actually happen.

This photo is fucking me up more than it should. That's some freaky shit right there.

Oh, AAA still does those garbage match trios, don't get it wrong. They don't run a whole card of them anymore. In fact Kenny has been half kayfabe half shoot begging for a match with Vikingo for a while and it's probably going to be the main event of the next big show they have. With Bryan, he could go to AAA no problem and do a lot of fun matches with the really good young guys they have, but all the legends he really wants to work with are in CMLL.

Honestly Corbin seems like a guy that WWE is the best place for him. I don't see him as the type that would want to work anywhere else either.

Of course it wasn't, but that was something that made wrestling feel cool and with the times.

Plus they have Rick's kid in the PC already and if he inherited any of the family genes for being awesome, that would be an awesome matchup.
