  1. The Bucks did a match with no superkicks, I really noticed that! Shibata/Ospreay felt a bit like Shibata was cosplaying Minoru Suzuki, but with more athleticism and grappling skill. Not a horrible thing, but not what I'd want out of Shibata, though I got a bit of what I wanted out of Shibata to start. I enjoyed Pure Rules ROH Shibata more. Swerve/Soup was awesome! Liked the women's 4-way, and glad Willow won.
  2. Bowens is fine. Caster's the one that belongs on low-end indies.
  3. I hope Airica gets a chance to do some more matches in ROH. She showed some good fire and some fun reactions, and takes a beating well. Still heavily a work in progress, but someone who has improved a lot in the past few months, and the strikes look better than many in AEW already.
  4. They might Llave it out. I think Titan's matwork is pretty good, and would keep Jericho from blowing up.
  5. They need to do a loser leaves AEW for X days to cool off Hangman/Swerve feud, just have Swerve say "one of us has to go so the other can be champ". They're kinda speedrunning a great program dry- it's too much of a great thing too quickly, and Swerve needs the belt this year. I'd have Hangman lose by his own stupidity, leave, do the G1 (NJPW would love Hangman in the G1, especially if you let him do a program with Naito where Hangman learns to be tranquilo)- then come back as part of LFI (perhaps with another new member or two) Hangman gets to come back at Forbidden Door because it's a NJPW/AEW joint event as a technicality, so he could pull something there.
  6. Comedy is just as important as Tekkers for any technical wrestler. There's a reason I'd rather watch Catweazle than Roderick Strong.
  7. I saw it as Hangman thinking a draw meant neither of them got the shot, and Hangman's stated goal is to make sure Swerve never becomes champ, because that's how he hurts him the most. Hangman's bitterness towards Swerve and the fans is what is fueling his justified heel turn.
  8. Johnny and Taya are really nice and sweet so hopefully this is really good.
  9. Swerve/Hangman needs a stip where the loser is banned from AEW for 45 days.
  10. Collision was pretty fun. Enjoyed OC vs Komander going with the lucha matwork to first. Danielson vs Nagata was as awesome as it could have been The cage match- I hate escape rules, but they worked the best possible match under those rules, and made it make sense, plus really got DG over at the end. Bravo to everyone involved in that, really well done. They need to strike now with DG I think, this is his best chance to get over- maybe even have him beat Christian- Cope/Christian doesn't really need the belt.
  11. MLW had a Caribbean title at some point. Florida wrestling had a Bahamas title at one point.
  12. They've admitted that they try to pick more local folks for TV, that's why you see lower-card folks pop in and out of rotation.
  13. Hardy is washed at this point, throw in the legal issues and I really don't want him around AEW period. If he has to be around, using him as a good hand to get other talent over with his name while getting a nostalgia pop is the best use for him.
  14. I think AEW realized only the super-wrestling folks who want to see the wild world of wrestling are going to tune in regularly to Rampage, so gotta give the people what they want, and that means matches you don't get to see anywhere else, including Dynamite and Collision.
  15. I feel the same way about Kris, like her as a wrestler, but as just a wrestler, she's not as special to me the way folks like Willow and Julia are. What was good about CHIKARA/LU style was you got both , and that's what I want more of in AEW, with a few serious dudes like Eddie and Mox for folks to bounce off of. I love this version of Jay White for example as an obnoxious funster more than I liked NJPW Jay White, and I loved NJPW Jay. It doesn't have to be a lucha-esque style too, Southern-style the way Eddie or Hangman does it works for me as well, as did Kenny's more emo artsy style.
