I would’ve liked to have seen the main event match for the tag titles on Full Gear. I think they could’ve had a longer match and done more of what they wanted because it just felt too rushed.

I liked that they did on the weekly show. Makes it feel like the show is a big deal so you need to tune in every week.

But at the same time, you should also want the customer to want to pay to see something big like crowning the first time tag champs of your promotion.

Cody with a scorching hot promo tonight. And Jericho's video package was hilarious

I thought it was a solid episode, especially with the appearance by Virgil! Also thought that the last segment set up the PPV on Saturday rather well.

I mean AEW has lost about 650,000 viewers so far so they probably need to do stuff like that on TV to keep people interested. Getting people to pay to see something like that on PPV doesn’t work so well when you don’t have that many people to begin with.

Cody cut a Dusty/Cena level go-home babyface promo. I can honestly say I thought he was underutilized in WWE but I had no idea he was this good.

The Jericho vignette was the best comedy segment I've seen wrestling in 20 years. It was peak Attitude Era caliber entertainment.

Sorry if this comes across as hyperbole to AEW non-enthusiasts but boy did I love that episode. It was their best one by far.

Cody v fiend as the two most over characters in all of wrestling would be ridiculous.

That ending was ridiculous. In such a good way.

Holy shit was that Moxley/Omega match wild.

Renee Young's reactions on Twitter are funny as well.

I thought the MJF turn on Cody was a bit anti-climactic. They needed to give that story more time and the turn itself needed more brutality.

Since the Moxley win doesn't count does that mean Page is back in the title picture? I can't see another babyface on the roster who slots in there.

If they're going by win/loss, I think its either Page or Moxley. Even with the match not counting, isn't Mox like 2-0-1 or something? Might have a match between the two to determine the #1 contender. Could also see them trying Darby out again since he had a good showing against Jericho before and the fans are really getting behind him.

The reason I'm thinking Page is because they gave him a huge win and emphasized Moxley's win didn't count.

They have less PPVs so maybe they wait awhile before they go to Jericho's next major feud.

They do have awhile. Plus, its long expected that Marty Scurll will join AEW once his contract is up (literally any day now). He could be involved as well.

Jon Moxley doesn't give one flying fuck about Renee Young! I know they're married, but if Moxley truly cared about his wife, he wouldn't have buried her employer on Talk Is Jericho.

Dunno. I'm not too terribly interested in who signs Renee Young's checks.

I just chafe at the rampant hypocrisy of Jon Moxley. To a lesser extent AEW, but I won't start that up again.

He's a bitter ex employee because they buried him.

Although now i wanna listen to what your'e referring to.

Yes, because the only/main indication of someone caring about their S.O. is what they say about their employer :rolleyes2:

100% chance you're not married...

There's a 100% chance that the amount of fucks I give your opinion of what I say, or think, is zero. Less than zero, in fact.
