  1. I finished watching last night and I had this reflection. The four pillars of AEW were a re huge part of 2023 as we went into spring; a year later 2 of them are off TV all together, one just got suspended, and the last one (Darby) is coming off a huge program. And it does not matter. But when Max returns - and he will, it will be good. But AEW re-invents itself pretty well.
  2. AEW is this weird mashup of never ending RAW/Nitro segments and talk fests AND All-Japan killer matches with real finished and actual storylines. I skip the segments to see the matches.
  3. I was super skeptical as well but last night won me over. It's a borrowed concept but it creates a White-Swerve match that otherwise makes little sense. And it's a pure match, no interference. The 3 titles - again borrowed. But it adds a stake. I was initially why another title - but it creates a layer of intrigue.
  4. Convinced that the orginal plan was for White to get the title way back when. But the Max face turn with the Cole story line was so strong, and it was changed. With Ospreay now, and White, plus the other pillars - suspect the title comes off Max in December but the storyline is still got gas.
  5. Had the benefit of watching on DVR after reading about the match. It was very clear when they got in the ring as the bell rung that Mox was not ok. The first in ring exchange was so sloppy. Someone in the back needed to come down to get the match stopped. Mox is not going to stop it himself; and Fenix is in the moment.
  6. Saw an article liking Punk to Bruiser Brody - Brody was pretty famous for sticking up promoters at the worse moments. Brody frankly worked himself into a corner at the end, his lack of reliability plus the territory system drying up lead to a real lack of availability. Punk may have done the same. Yes there is a run in WWE maybe for him. There ways to lead organizations organically and ways to be an a$$hole. Punk's need for self righteousness is his own down fall. But never say never - Tony Schiavone was all the way out and is now all the way back in.
  7. Come September Collision will be live against multiple NCAA football games, and then NCAA Basketball games.
  8. For the first time last night I noticed Collision has a decidedly different feel to it. More focused. Smaller roster feel, almost old school territory.
  9. Tanahashi looks to be pretty used up, unfortunately. Man, I want Nakamura to be in these so bad. I know Toni and Juice being on the same cards consistently had to be great for both.
  10. Fun card - the Briscoes match was just fun. End of story. Loved, and I mean loved the main. What a hell of a match.
  11. It was obvious that she and Statlander had good chemistry. Statlander is really smooth in the ring for the most part.
  12. Daddy Magic never fails to make me chuckle.
  13. Got say the MJF/Cole segment made me want to see them. As much as MJF plays into tropes, Cole firing right back at him was good. Now MJF using the whole Lee manager role was some serious insider stuff; but it fit well into the whole promo.
  14. I have read all about Adam Cole, the love and the hate. Admittedly did not watch much of his NXT stuff. His ring work to me is very good - the Panama finisher is interesting but not that believable. Mic work is very good, and great entrance. Seems like a genuinely good person. But I come back to old JR saying - it's a body business. Seriously he just looks like a teenage boy to me. His lack (complete lack) of muscular build is really noticeable. Not saying he needs to hit the 'riods but he looks more like a long distance runner than a wrestler. The Mulkeys back in JCP - they were these skinny, pale white kids. And they just got killed. Which was what you expected Cole looks more like a Mulkey than a modern-day Michaels.
