Posted February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911352 This Iron Man match has been pretty solid so far. Another great start to a show.
February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911353 The sudden death thing was not really necessary, but it was a solid match. Taz is always so glad to be there. It feels awesome.

February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911355 They have really made Darby a big star. Hoping he finally gets a big victory at this PPV.
February 27, 20205 yr Author comment_5911356 Orange is great. The old farts can complain all they want, if the crowd chants "he will try" then it works.
February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911363 I loved the weigh-ins and all the brawling. Still think MJF and Cody should have been on the show to cut fresh promos. I liked the sit-down interview with Page/Omega and the Bucks. I was totally rooting for Page though; he was right in what he was saying.
February 27, 20205 yr Author comment_5911364 Man that was such a Mid-South ending, everyone brawling everywhere while JR is losing his mind, it could have been the Irish McNeil Boy's Club in 1984.
February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911365 Yuka Sakazaki seems to be getting more over with the crowd. I think I like her a lot.

Tony Khan grew up watching Mid-South, right? I am glad he has taken more control over the booking.

I don't think he grew up on it considering he was raised in Illinois (and born in 1982), but I'd wager he traded for more than a few tapes of it in his day. It really gets undersold how big a fan he was growing up, he was deep in it back in the early days of the interwebs like a lot of us were back then. His dad's mentioned it more than once how it even impressed him how much Tony followed the business and how when he approached him to start AEW he knew he could make it work.
February 27, 20205 yr comment_5911372 You have to give Khan credit here. He listened to the criticism of the show's around the holidays and since the new year almost everything is working

February 28, 20205 yr comment_5911432 Awesome Wednesday night. I loved the Iron Man match (and to be honest, I've been kind of down on Kenny Omega's ring work lately, but it worked on Dynamite). The sit down with the Elite was also perfect, and made me actually want to see the match even more now. The tag team division is almost too loaded right now. I really think they should examine creating a Trios Title for some of the groups like Jurassic Express, SCU, etc to fight over. The women's division has too many workers just kind of "there." Need to get some new feuds going, or something. Create some solid alliances between a couple of them, as well. I agree it was sort of weird that Cody and MJF were nonexistent on this show...but to be honest, if the whipping angle and cage match didn't get people salivating for this match, nothing would.

Really bottomed out on that about halfway through with Pac kicking out of some crazy move only to immediately roll out and run around the ring looking for a chair.

However, a couple solid tag teams would maybe be nice?

This. For someone like me, who does not care a bit about the more is less (or whatever) style that is currently predominant in US mainstream wrestling, the perfect way to watch AEW is to jump from angle/interview segment to angle/interview segment and skip the matches, except if it has someone in it who still takes at least a bit of time (like one of the Runnels boys or Jericho).
