NO! NOT TONY NESE!  Ooo, Keith Lee vs Lance Archer would be good!  THE ASS BOYS! ST LOUIS!  Konosuke Takeshita is in!  Will he make it through Picture in Picture?  He battles Keith Lee the whole time so it's not looking good.  Austin Gunn is great spazzing out as he is almost eliminated!  Wheeler Yuta has a new haircut.  OH NO!  NOT THE GUNN CLUBB!  Oh no!  Swerve eliminates Keith Lee!  Oh NO!  Takeshita eliminated by Hobbs and Starks!  So Hobbs vs Takeshita would be awesome.  Swerve is your superstar of this Battle Royale.  Rey Fenix is the most spectacular elimination!  Kyle O'Riley!  YESSS!  He is the Adam Cole surrogate!   Awesome!  KOR vs Mox will be fucking awesome.  I was hoping Andrade since the elimination of Konosuke Takeshita.  The best thing about that Battle Royal was the Powerhouse Hobbs vs Takeshita section.  BOOK IT ALREADY, TK!  OH JESUS!  ETHAN PAGE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY MIRO!  Buddy Matthews is into Crypt of Rays!  PAC should be a member of the House of Black.  Australia versus the UK!  I'm still in Battle Royal mode so I'm waiting for them to not go over the toprope.  I can't wait to see this tomorrow on the International Feed, unlike you riff raff.  I guess this All Atlantic title is a gift to New Japan for doing Forbidden Door?  Ah!  Zack Sabre Jr is getting it.  This match is fucking great.  Definitely fight forever.  NICE LYGER BOMB by Matthews and the whole deadlift into it  Matthews takes a Poison Rana better than anybody alive.  PAC  has a pretty finisher.  Ooooo, PENTA vs Malakai Black should be good. MEXICO vs THE NETHERLANDS!  FTR!  UNITED EMPIRE!  OH FUCK YEAH! AUSSIE OPEN!  Okay,  I said that I would get the PPV if FTR takes on Aussie Open.  WE ARE ONE STEP CLOSER.  David Finlay has the Ode To Fit jacket which makes us all party and freak out.  I love all the old school lock-ups,  They are doing this for Jim Cornette.  Wild Tope by Hangman.  I can only think of Finlay in a tag team with Juice Robinson on IMPACT!  It's cool that he is stepping up a tier in the US.  I forgot how good Finlay is.  All he needs is any kind of memorable offense.   That was good.  Kind of showed how Finlay is really good at being a Face In Peril in  tag matches- as opposed to being a serious threat as a singles wrestler.  OOOO!  HANGMAN vs OKADA!  Oh man, Adam Cole vs Okada would be so awesome, just to see the exploding heads on the board.  OH GOD!  ADAM COLE, IWGP WORLD CHAMPION!  That would be AWESOME!  For all the wrong reasons.  Thunder Rosa and Marina Shafir!  It's a night of impressive  lockups!  UWFi Thunder Rosa is a fun Thunder Rosa.  TR definitely got the Toni Storm Stiffness memo.  ONE forgets that TR also does MMA in her spare time.  This match is going to be so good on the International Feed.  MArina Shafir has such cool offense.  That was perfectly fine.  TONI STORM MAKES THE SAVE!  OOO! SHE HOLDS THE WOMEN'S BELT!  PUT THE BELT ON HER!  Oh man, ALMOST FTR vs Aussie Open on Rampage!  We are so close!  KOR!  Oh man, he HAS to win.  Jon Moxley!  Lord Regal is sooo good on commentary,  "A good kick in the head solves a lot of problems."  Mox cannot go a whole match without bleeding because Mox is totally awesome.  This match is fucking great.  What a FUCKING LARIAT!  "Gollywobble"  KOR might be the best wrestler in AEW,    SLEEPER COUNTER TO THE GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!  This match is fucking great.  Jesus, this match is fucking awesome.  Jesus.  That was some quality.  (Wriong guy won.) .JAYZEUS, AEW RULES THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!

I didn't really have any dog in the fight when it came to the battle royale, but as it went on I wanted Andrade to win as I think he and Moxley could have an interesting clash of styles match. While I like KOR, he's not an upper card guy and there was no way he was going to go over.

There was a time when Buddy Murphy was probably the most underrated guy in the WWE. When 205 Live was at its peak he was putting on fantastic matches on a weekly basis that were sadly going unseen by a bulk of the company's fans. Given their similar physiques and wrestling styles, I wanted to see he and Pac face off at some point. When the Death Triangle/HOB program kicked off I looked forward to seeing them mixing it up at some point. This match delivered on what both guys had to offer and could have been even better if it had been something built up to and put on a bigger show with some actual stakes involved. If this had been the finals for this new singles title it would have blown the roof off the place.

I'm not terribly familiar with El Hijo Del Finlay, but the match was fine.

Rosa/Shafir was good though I thought it ended rather abruptly. The post-match beatdown indicates this feud isn't over which is fine by me as I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do in a longer match.

This may be a "hot take" as the kids say, but I think Moxley's best work was in The Shield. I've enjoyed some of his AEW matches but I just can't really get into him in general. That said, this was a really good match. At no point did I think KOR was going to win, but Moxley was entertaining going toe to toe with Kyle's submission/MMA style wrestling. Unless they decide to take a gamble and put the belt on Tanahashi I think it's pretty clear Moxley is winning.

My initial reaction is the AEW All-Atlantic Championship is unnecessary even with the TNT Championship significantly devalued with booking this year. Looks too similar to the AEW Women's World Championship also. There also the AEW Trios Titles to come as well.

Establishing an upper-midcard belt and bringing the TNT title more in line with the WCW Television title is the right move for the long run. Gives the glut of upper-carders something to do and establishes a tier system for the too-large roster. Dumb name, though.

All those legitimate stars in that battle Royal and TK goes with Kyle o fucking Reilly? No wonder MJF wants to leave. Imagine giving Andrade that finish.

 

”How was your honeymoon? Good? Good. Hey listen, we need you to make the guy who looks like the NFT monkey look credible, ok? Why? We don’t really know, other than TK’s obsession with guts who led nXt into a reformat on a new night…”

Woof...

They have to STOP DOING CASINO BATTLE ROYALS. The format sucks. Everyone's shine is missed by the next guy's entrance. Too much is happening and you can't make sense of it. Darby did a Coffin Drop from the top to the floor, how is that not an elimination? Garcia & Kingston went through the middle rope, how are they eliminated? These fucking suck. Bite the bullet and switch it to a regular Royal Rumble format already. This was the worst one of these yet. They keep getting worse.

So why are there flags for China & Japan (which are not in the Atlantic by the way) on this title? Why do they need another men's single's title? Why does it have to have such a convoluted name and concept? All-Atlantic is the worst name for a title (outside of 24/7, but that's a comedy prop not a real title) in national wrestling history. The design is also VERY close to The Women's World Title and this is *not* a good message to send. Women's Top Title equal to Men's middle of the card title?

To have someeee positivity here I thought David Finlay looked great and his match with Hangman was good. O'Riley was a bad choice to face Moxley but the match was hard hitting and dope. Wardlow is going to squash Scorpio Sky eventually, that'll make the TNT Title seem important again. But is that now the TV Title (third in line) and the All-Atlantic would be The US Title (second in line)? Pac v Murphy was solid too, but they did not kick it into that extra special gear.

AEW is making some choices that are not my cup of tea here lately. I'm still very pro-AEW. But TK needs to start getting some input on these weird ideas. No one is going to have 100% good instincts. And some of his worst ones are starting to show through.

Caveat: I really liked the show. Matches pretty well all delivered. That was the best Casino Battle Royal because they finally staggered the entrances a bit, rather than having 5 people run out at once and everyone's moment gets stepped on. While KOR had no shot, the Mox match delivered. But...

Considering how live crowd's love Cole, they deflated when he interrupted Hangman's Okada challenge. So either we're getting Hangman-Cole 3 with the shot on the line and Cole loses again...which lol for me, but I don't really need that match again or it's gonna end up a 3-way less than the sum of its parts.

And the new title, while pretty is nonsensical geographically and completely unnecessary, especially when the women's roster is literally starving. Rosa looked great in the match, but Shafir is an ice cold challenger

We get it. We will continue to get it. The people who have initially agreed with you have *long since got it*.

I've been doing good leaning into this post-cynic part of my fandom. KOR wins the thing in the beginning and I think to myself "shit, they wouldn'ta ran it this way unless Kyle and Mox really wanna work together and think they have a killer match in them." Then they have a super mega killer match. Imagine that.

He didn't go back into the ring before doing the coffin drop. He went out under the top rope, then climbed on the apron and up to the top, but didn't step back in the ring.
