I said in the discord I'm an unapologetic Hangman guy, but man, there is something intangible there whenever him and Swerve fight. The crowd is super into it and it is one of the few feuds going that "feels" real and hateful.

I'm a blunt and half in and I concur. Jericho/Ishii and Jericho/Suzuki are two of my favorite Jericho matches in AEW right now

The build was absolutely lackluster, but the match itself and all of the storybeats it hit. It was probably my favorite Blood and Guts so far. Might be recency bias, but holy shit i had so much fun watching that. Also. Mark Briscoe is a main event star. This should put any rest to anyone behind the scenes at AEW

What a goddamn main event.

I'm so overwhelmed with the match quality of AEW, I've resisted even trying to make a new list as of late. But I really want to, the sheer quantity of incredible matches is astounding.

Definitely agree on being complimented by a tag. I still don't see why they broke up he and Starks, both guys seemingly can't get their legs under them without the other while they were killing it together

The booking of Hobbs has been such a major letdown and misstep for AEW. I hope when he comes back from injury they strap a rocket to his back. Bring back furcoat Hobbes.

I know his TNA run is universally applauded, can anyone point me in the direction of some good matches/promos? TNA/Impact is a blind spot for me unfortunately.

I wish Wardlow wasn't hurt. Wardlow v Lashley would definitely aid in getting me to buy a PPV.

I've never been a Lashley guy, but with AEW now, I've really gotten behind the idea of "random dream matches" and it makes me happy just thinking about him v Darby/Big Bill/Dante Martin/Orange Cassidy etc. It's one of the beautiful things about AEW IMO, is that you can get these style clashes at the ready. I mean, it wouldn't have to be for long, just bring him in for some high profile matches, let him go on his way.

I liked the idea on the last page of taking Keith and Big Bill away from Jericho and teaming them with Lashley/MVP.

I was there live for the Perry/Luchasaurus cage match and it was indeed awesome.

that's definitely a fair assessment. While I find Russo his own level of scummy...he seems to, I don't know, own it? It's weird and hard to describe. He feels like a genuine shithead and not a stab you in the back shithead lol. I can't really point a fine point on it. I'd much rather listen to Bischoff talk about the business/tv/story aspect of wrestling than anything Russo would say, but I believe Russo more.

As much I dislike Russo....I agree witht he take he is far more credible than Bischoff when next to him and I chalk that up solely due to Bischoffs neverending love affair with anything Hogan.

Konnan was a guest on Bischoff's last episode of Wise Words. That's one episode I'll be skipping.

I want the trio of Stark/Bayszler/Deville to get a strangehold on the womens tag belts and defend under Freebird Rules. I really think that could be such a boost to that division

My only concern is that if it's Swerve/Page 4 as the main event in Wembley....what the hell will both of them do to top the other encounters on such a grand stage? The Texas Death Match was about as brutal as you can get. Also, JAZWares/Ringside Collectibles is missing the boat if they don't do something for Swerve/Page as a 2-Pack special set or something.

I feel the way about Punk as you do about Adam Cole and the Natural feels about Hogan, so im all about this statement.

Couldn;t agree more. My comment wasn't even a dig at Punk, i don't think anyone in WWE is on Drew's level right now and i think he's surpassed both Rollins and Punk at this moment

I'm shocked McIntyre can stand up straight the way he's carrying the Punk feud.

Agreed. The tag/trios division feel aimless. I know the Bucks/Acclaimed are working towards something, but the tag division was once such a strength and now it feels like WWE where the tag division is an afterthought. Weren't the MCMG supposed to be coming in soon?

I miss Aussie Open.

I couldn't even imagine the dredges of social media if Aubrey Edwards became more prominent.

I don't like Cornette, but that is great on seeing him as a 5k donation there.

100% behind this run of his and honestly it's the most interesting Page has been since his chase for the belt and he's only been back for one match/backstage segment
