Britt has a really good Final Boss-esque theme song

Thought that match was actually better than the 6-man, but Cody's tweener adventures in the Cody-verse has zero appeal to me, and it's really dragging down Black.

A lot of production flubs, apparently the audio and video was not in sync initially, shit like that. BR Live was a good option when AEW was a no name money mark promotion starting out, but AEW has far outgrown that.

Match was WAYYY too long and overwrought though, it honestly peaked at Christian's balcony dive and was pretty much all downhill from there. Cut out Cody's entire entrance to save time

A lot of drama there, a lot of it corny and not good, but Jungle Boy reacting to hitting that conchairto like he is Michael Corleone committing his first murder for the mob was hilarious

Hopefully this doesn't mean Kenny retains lol

Is Miro okay? The top rope spot seemed a bit botched, and the finish came abruptly after that.

This crowd was burnt out at the start of this but boy have these two brought them back into it.

They also had duelling chants for MJF-Darby, of all people

JR has been so terrible tonight. You would have thought the Four Pillows slip would be the worst but nope

I am loving how he is selling every second of this as a struggle, even when he was on top

Wish the match had ended like a couple of minutes before but incredible match. This PPV is NOT letting up man. Miro-Danielson now.

Wish they had done a slightly better job with the finish but otherwise what a fantastic match

Yeah. I was particularly impressed by how well they did the chain rollups and the usual Eddielenko sequences, which can look really bad in the hands of inferiot workers.

From everything I am reading, it seems like AEW has really outgrown BR

Disgusting apron bump 2 minutes in lol. Darby is a mad man

Well I was not expecting Eddielenko sequences in this match

That Darby video package was incredible

God I hate Matt Hardy so much

Poor Smart Mark Sterling kept the cake in his face for 5 whole seconds and he still couldn't get it smeared over his face. Punk is definitely being more and more dickish as the build goes on.

So, we have discussed this before, but what do we think: can the Hangman coronation be delayed longer? I think, after the kind of promos he has cut, and the video packages made, they can't afford to not pull the trigger now. He has a very loyal fanbase, but even they might not be able to take another heartbreaking loss. I think he has to win now.

That is true. However, trying to sell people to watch a wrestling show at 10 PM on a Friday night with the lure of Orange Cassidy vs. Matt Hardy should be considered an imprisonable offence.

The standard for wrestling promoters and bookers answering questions is so damn low, Khan appears good usually just by comparison. I don't know how he behaves in NFL press conferences though. But I mean our standard-bearer for decades was this person, so our standards are low:

That was a very defensive, arrogant answer by Khan. The reporter later clarified that she was just going to ask if AEW has plans for an all-women's PPV. Interrupting a woman asking question about women's wrestling and not letting her finish by talking about how he feels he doesn't get enough credit for building the women's division - because he paid for his wrestlers doing the NWA show - is a bad look. Like okay? So you paid them, do you want a medal for not being as actively awful as WWE? Thankfully he himself realized he didn't come across good and apologized. I am guessing how defensive and reactionary he can be in interviews versus how nice and professional he usually is, is a function of how much coke he has snorted that day.

I don't disagree, but here Omega was being a dick, and therefore it was easy for Page to play off him. Page is earnest and sincere, basically the opposite of the rest of the Elite, and he needed to be the one to really deliver well for the segment to work, and I thought he did a fabulous job.
