C.S.

Cesaro and Ricochet vs. Sheamus and Ridge Holland on the pre-show.

Jade will win IMO, especially now that she has Mercedes Martinez as her "heater." There's a better story to be told with Ruby getting shots at both major AEW women's titles and falling short.

Not at all. Bad for Tony. Bad tweet. Bad fallout from talent on his roster, as we're seeing on Twitter. Bad fuck-up here.

Britt Baker supposedly retweeted TK, but there are only screenshots and reaction tweets as evidence of that, so who knows... Powerhouse Hobbs weighs in:

It's not, IMO, but I think she's implying that other people who lack the same creative skills she says she lacks still get the creative help they need because AEW "wants it to work" for them.

Uh oh...

Utterly tone deaf response by TK. He really needs someone handling his social media accounts for him, like I assume most CEOs have.

Happy Birthday, PWO! I discovered PWO through DVDVR (which I rarely ever posted on), registered, didn't get approved for two years (I think my pending account got caught in a wave of spammers), registered again and was approved quickly the second time around. That was a few years back. For better or worse (depending on who you ask ) I've been here ever since.

Imagine being so senile and stuck in the bubble that you have no clue what a major asset Toni Storm could be. Then again, she was spectacularly wasted in NXT troo, so can't just blame Vince, Bruce, and Dunn on this one.

Bad faith trolls (not on PWO) would inevitably accuse AEW of pulling a "LOLTNA" by giving Keith Lee the title on his first night, but I'd absolutely love to see this happen. It would be AEW's way of sending a signal - "THIS is how you properly debut a can't miss talent like Lee!" - in direct contrast to the debacle that was his Raw debut.

I'd be a fan of this. AEW has been (rightly) criticized for its glaring lack of diversity, and Scorpio has been killing it.

I hope not. Getting a forced reign over a hot hand like Miro really exposed Sammy. I think Sammy will be fine in the long run, but his reign really didn't work and neither has his babyface turn. Eddie Kingston should win the title.

Does that mean:

This is a great idea. If they can't go that route, I'd have the first judge be someone from Danielson's past (Brie Bella?), the second judge someone from Hangman's past (not sure who, but a "surprise" not currently in AEW), and a third judge who has nothing to do with either man. That way, if it does go to a judge's decision, it will come down to that third judge and they can build something from there.

That was the best thing that ever happened to Tony Khan. Likely deterred him from ever signing them, he still got to use them through the Forbidden Door with Impact, and he saw firsthand that Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakawaza were more entertaining and memorable in the same roles.

Not sure, but am I the only one who thought that segment was the shits? It was worse than Black's WWE vignettes, which were also very, very bad. Black doesn't resonate with me on any level - as a character or in the ring. Yeah, yeah, he's a very impressive big guy. So are many others.

Fans are rightly booing the time limit draw. Shouldn't have gone to that well so soon again after Danielson-Omega - even if it was a glorious 60 minutes this time. But, man, what a match!

Wish Tony K had paid for no commercials - they're really breaking up the momentum of an otherwise awesome match.

I lost track of time and joined this in progress. Surprised the main event is on first!

Came here hoping this was posted. A very tough read at times, but a must-read. This is the same site that published last month's incredible Eddie Kingston article.

You okay, man???

Imagine if Hook was in the WWE system... "Tyler Senerchia has been at the PC for two years now. His new NXT name will be Ty Devil, which is a play on both the Tasmanian Devil and his father Taz."

Seems kinda snarky... "Post that you “heard” that." I hope she's not an enabler.

I zoned out during the main event. Did I miss a classic?
