They kinda were. They were protecting humanity from attacks by the Deviants for years. They were the inspirations of humanity's myths, legends, folklore and religions.

Ikaris was Richard Madden, aka Robb Stark of Game of Thrones.

There were none.

It's mild retconning. Boba Fett's armor is supposed to be the same as Jango's when it clearly is different. Keep in mind this is a backstory they've fleshed out for Boba Fett decades later after the fact.

In other words, he's not adding any meaningful time to the product either. Why sign a guy just to book on AEW Dark?

I'm guessing instead of releasing people, AEW will simply start letting old contracts expire and not renew them, which from a business standpoint, they should because they signed way too many people. Granted, I highly doubt Avalon was getting six figures guaranteed in AEW.

If AEW's roster wasn't so bloated right now, I'd be all for them signing Murphy and Strickland. I think they are better off not signing right now.

It's 1996 all over again. Also, Brock Lesnar intentionally bladed at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and you can't convince me otherwise.

Honestly, I don't think so. I think it worked for Kofi Kingston because he already had that decade+ year in WWE at that point and times where he got close to tasting the main event level, but never broke through the glass ceiling. It was just one of those weird perfect storms that worked out in his favor somehow, despite WWE. Also, Ali was put in a WWE title match the following month anyway. I think Kofi-Mania happened because it was Kofi.

I'm hoping the costume will grow on me. some kind of jackal creature?

I think it was a pretty good show overall. I do think they need to stop booking the biggest match first. You need to stop frontloading the show. I like Daniel Garcia and all, but he wasn't ready for a main event cable slot this week.

So is Sammy Guevara still Interim champion or did they strip Cody? Any particular reason they repeated that Davy Crockett gimmick again tonight?

I mean you're going to bleed viewers if you put all the good stuff at the front.

I still don't really get frontloading the Dynamites with your biggest matchup. Just seems counter-intuitive to me. Why not build to a match like Punk/Wardlow instead of blowing the wad in the opening segment?

Not sure how that will go with her considering she's had trouble with the 135 weight cut in the past. Plus...Valentina Shevchenko. But no one is unbeatable.
