One thing that came to mind was that he dropped a South Park reference, calling 2.0 "Terrence and Phillip". Considering how that show was massively popular and how little the crowd reacted to the reference, is it safe to say that Jericho is pandering to the wrong demo?

Joe nearly DIED in his match against Karrie Kross, if he ever goes to AEW he better be working a an announcer or as a manager.

I am amazed. Maybe the most fitting ring name I've seen in a while. Dude turning his arm into noodles and taking "a couple of weeks" to return is absurd. While I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, I'm not so sure about this. 2.0 got NOTHING in that last segment, mostly because it was so Jericho-centric. I like their 80s cokehead promos, but Y2J was really bringing the whole segment down with the whole "pinhead" and "squarehead" stuff.

Remember when Low Ki dressed up as Agent 47 without clearing it with the people backstage in what ended up being his last NJPW match? Fun times. Of course Shibata ain't going the same path but it's always fun to reminisce about wrestlers going into business for themselves.

Bubba, the thing here is that the whole exchange between Punk and MJF doesn't really "endorse" the company or WM. MJF, kayfabe-wise, thinks he's above Punk and AEW as a whole. He's doing them a favor by being there, and he doesn't seem properly valued. Him going to WWE and main-eventing Mania (lololol) would be a middle finger to AEW and to Punk, who never was able to do that. It fits with his whole schtick of "being better than you". When Punk retorts, it just exposes MJF kinda being a fraud. Main eventing night four and then quickly being released means he ain't shit, not to his eyes, nor to the eyes of the company he wants to go just to spite AEW. It works.

It seems Atlas hurt his knee during the Rampage taping. This fucking sucks, man.

I'm not against it if it was the planned decision, to be honest. Luchasaurus is certainly not very sharp but I like the JE and Jungle Boy rocks.

I dunno, man. Seemed very awkward It feels like Jurassic Express winning was a last second decision after Fenix broke his arm, based an the people standing on the ramp and the awkward came shots.

fuck just saw what happened to Fenix's arm holy shit

Man the camera cutting to the other roster members not giving a fuck about the result is killing me

Immediate hot take: better than YB vs LB Cage Match.

ain't no fucking wayyyyyyy he kicked out

that destroyer was scary looking

And then he played to the crowd after MJF basically harassed Julia during their match. Terrible.

Listen, Luchasaurus is so gone the moment they decide to give Jungle Boy a meaningful singles push.

Next week's card looks better than this one, with all due respect to Bryan and Page.

See, you were very optimistic. I was expecting Windham Rotunda.

oh my god i was expecting the worst with the lights out

good lord that finish

Also why is this match still going?

His "feud" with MJF was the nail in the coffin. He looked like he didn't belong.

Issue isn't even how Ruby was treated in WWE, but how her AEW stint is going so far. I like her a lot, but she hasn't had a match that delivered to her capabilities. Feels like she's going through the motions.

right woman won

respectfully, yes

JADE. Respectfully. I am not looking forward to the online discourse after this match
