Certainly putting the nostalgia match on last sounds crazy to me. And yeah, big as Mone vs Storm is, I very much doubt this is the time they give the women's division its first PPV main event.

More interesting than Adam Cole? Talk about damning with faint praise.

It's weird, yeah. I mean, last night had the commentators confident that Hangman could win, but then pivoting to concern when the Texas Death stipulation was mentioned on the basis that said stipulation would favour Mox. So mentioning that Page has beaten Mox in a Texas Death Match before would contradict the story they were trying to tell. But AEW to date has generally been quite good about acknowledging and spelling out competitors' history. So it's still weird that they're ignoring this.

It's not what I would have done, but personally I don't think it belongs on a "worst booking ever" list. Yeah, I've thought similarly. The complaints about the Death Riders angle have always reminded me of the online complaints at the time about the NWO angle, but I suspect the latter would be fondly remembered if WCW hadn't completely botched the ending.

Thanks! I think it was season two, as I'm pretty sure I haven't seen season three or four but distinctly remember the aforementioned character being in Lucha Underground.

Who's "Cross"?

Holy crap, a song I've heard of!

Marijuana has been legal here for a few years, though. So it still seems kind of odd that a marijuana charge would be enough to bar entry.

Nothing wrong with Toni vs Mercedes, but that plan sounds awesome.

They've been building Hurt Syndicate vs Jet Speed, so I suspect that's the match at All In. Admittedly, it's not exactly a match that screams "Biggest show of the year!", but I don't see the alternative. Unless they plan to blow that off on Dynamite in the next few weeks and move on to FTR vs Hurt Syndicate?

I love the idea that a guy named "Boogs" getting a silly name is something that hasn't happened yet.

It would be a trademark issue, not copyright. You couldn't possibly copyright a two-word phrase like "Intercontinental Champion". So does the pre-existence of Intercontinental Titles in boxing prevent WWE from claiming the term as a trademark in the area of wrestling toys and replicas? My guess would be "no", but I wouldn't put much stock in my guess. I'd want an expert opinion on that question.

Ooh, the Super Continental Title! Champion of all the places ABOVE the continents!

"Continational Title" was right there.

I skipped the main event. Did I miss anything noteworthy?
