Women's gauntlet was a million times better, and the absolute correct winner.

Juice came back looking like nWo Sting.

Stacking the odds against Hangman by taking out some of his backup, making it much more glorious when he beats the odds.

The way that crowd JUMPED when Joe hooked in the muscle buster.

Cash dropping f bombs on that fan, what was going on there?

lol holy shit the Outrunners with the Newport themed gear

Ishii and Archer having an excellent clubbering exchange right after a luchador spot is peak AEW.

The WAR random six man generator is in awe of this grouping of Hologram, Ishii, Kyle O'Reily, and Big Boom AJ.

I could be off base, but to me it looked like maybe Dustin wasn't going full speed in a preshow match knowing he had a bigger match later in the show

Them Rhodes genes are strong, three generations looking identical.

Von Erichs in a Texas stadium show in 2025, time really is a flat circle brothers.

A Madison Rayne appearance on the pre show, always good to see.

Yeah short of some kind of disaster like an injury happening, Mercedes and Toni are too good to have a bad match.

There are certainly a lot, but my main issue is when they do a multi person match and one of the folks are clearly in there to eat the pin. It just telegraphs the whole thing and you're just counting down the time until they do the job.

Yes, Vince always had a thing about the announcers looking too old. Its why he never wanted to go back to doing commentary other than that one-off he did with Jesse . He never seemed to care that the younger folks who he put in their place were a detriment to the business because they had little to no knowledge of wrestling. Going to the WWF pretty much ended Terry Taylor's in ring career but it got him a behind the scenes job that continues to this day so it ended up working out for him eventually.

Wasn't expecting a Keji Muto appearance in a video on NXT, that was neat.

Since ROH is basically their NXT, they should tape it like NXT as well. Have them do their weekly show at like Daily's Place or some other smaller venue they can make their home base and have their big PLE type shows in the cities AEW is having theirs in. Have it look like a modern version of 2000s ROH, which shouldn't be difficult since Danielson probably wouldn't be able to resist showing up occasionally. It would give ROH its own look and feel and not just "we're at the same venue Dynamite was in but it looks sadder".

OK, El Grande Americano has gone all the way from stupid to a German guy pretending to be an American guy pretending to be a Mexican guy. Also the company that bought AAA doing a bit where it's someone obviously different playing a masked character but the announcers are calling it bullshit is just *chef's kiss*.

I don't get the hate for the Hurt Business. I mean, I do to some extent, but they are over with the crowd and Shelton is getting his long overdue respect from a major company. I get it they're ex WWE guys in their 40s and that is anathema to the very soul of AEW, but......it's kinda working though? I'm actually not happy with them putting MJF in the group and having him geek up the place. It was funny when he was begging to join and they kept clowning him, but now that he's in the group he's got Jericho at his vortex-worst go away heat with me.

The show is actually in Atlanta, which kinda got lost in GOLDBERGMANIA running wild.

Some things have, yet we still have folks who get injured in angles going to "medical facilities". There were a couple times in the HHH Era where they dropped a few "hospital"s but it's one weird linguistic quirk that still survives.

Wild that we get Okada vs Ibushi as a Dynamite main event.

Just noticed the belt design for the new unified International/Continental title looks a lot like the original design for the women's title.

That opening segment was good shit, Hangman/Mox was going to be amazing anyway and Texas Death just allows all the craziness to go to 11.

Two things occurred to me watching the Ricky Saints/Ethan Page segment: 1. I totally forgot Ricky was in NXT, so that tells you how well this is working for him. 2. Page's group of douchebro guys from Evolve are already looking like they could be money one day.
