Careful. Calling anything Mercedes does “inauthentic” earns you a visit from @Niners Fan in CT. In all seriousness, it’s been Ass Juice so far. Not a single second of genuine emotion or delivery. I understand wanting to wait until ppv to have her wrestle, but something’s gotta give. I slept through most of the show. I caught the Moné stuff on dvr. I’ll watch the rest of the show tonight.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that “behind the music,” but didn’t Queen catch some flack for performing at Sun City?

Actual motors would be an improvement over the Hardy's at this point.

She bragged openly about breaking Alexa Bliss' nose multiple times on purpose. There was also the time she ENDED PAIGE'S CAREER. Again, you won't care, because Mercedes will have been justified due to her follower count. Am I doing that right? I took my time answering this because there are multiple reddit AMA's and Twitter Q&A's with released nXt talent where Sasha is named as a bully during her time at the PC. I know that no amount of links I post will change your mind that she's sainted and allowed to do whatever she wants because she had 4 minutes of screen time on a Disney+ show, so I won't bother. You can google it yourself.

Right. I enjoy their matches a lot of the time, but nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than "look how great a match we're having!!!"

Nah, it’s hilarious. I find FTR pretentious. Also Mox rules.
-
We could've had both. Just sayin'.

It would’ve cost AEW nothing to have Hangman & the Dark Order win the trios titles. You could’ve done the angle where hangman accidentally costs his team the match a week or so after. But, ya know, Jackson’s gonna Jackson…

That's fair. It kills my suspension of disbelief, I guess. And it's not about size, per se. Bryan Danielson is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, and he's small. I love watching Komander and Swerve and a lot of those guys you mentioned. Maybe I don't do a good job of explaining it. It has much more to do with how they wrestle relative to their style. That's my issue with Cole, in particular. If he worked as a chickenshit heel who connived his way to victory and hid behind his friends until the right moment, I'd get it. I still wouldn't enjoy him, but I'd get it. It's these guys who are small and work big. Cole is the worst culprit. With Best Friends, I just don't understand the appeal. I like Orange Cassidy. Trent and Chuck are just the definition of "there." Maybe it's just Chuck, because I don't mind Rappongi Vice at all. Listen, I'll be the first one to tell you I've got hang-ups about shit. I think it's garbage when a guy like Adam Cole gets to stare down Karrion Kross without consequence, because it's not based in reality at all. I don't like when the Jacksons get to saunter away from a match against Mox and Kingston, because it's not based in reality at all. "Worked" doesn't mean "free of the laws of physics." If that doesn't bother y'all, more power to you. It bugs the shit out of me.

They're probably calling those under-brackets "wild cards" because that's what they call the play-in opening rounds in baseball. But yeah, it makes zero sense for HOB to be in those brackets, especially since they should probably win this whole thing. I'm baffled by the lack of Mox/Claudio, unless there's an injury or Mox finally getting to take his vacation... -

I think @Technico Support said it, and he’s right; I’ve said for years that there’s nothing about Mercedes that comes off as real. From nXt to main roster and now early on in AEW, she’s playing a role. And not particularly convincingly. Another thing I’ve said for a couple years now; the young bucks repel viewers. Down 350k from the opener? Holy hell. The people stayed away in droves. -

It feels like Uncle Tony is back in his bag. Just a ton of fresh, intriguing matchups on the way. Excited for Jay White's next thing. The Acclaimed really should've seen that coming, seeing as how they have tons of history with the Ass Boys. Hopefully now they get to end their freestyles with "Ass Boys!" Those were the best ones. BCG needs a heater, at least until Juice gets back. Here's a sentence I never thought anyone would utter; goddam do I miss Juice Robinson. Wardlow and Joe was a fun big man sprint. Something tells me they're gonna run that back at some point. Joe is doing the Lord's work right now. Love that dude. That six man was dope. I like that the shitty EVP's have aligned themselves with the new ace so they don't have to do the work themselves. I hadn't seen much Okada before but damn I've enjoyed what I've seen so far. I'm a Willow Nightingale fan. Unabashedly. She seems like a truly lovely human. Happy for her to get the increased profile working with Mercedes. -

As far as sing along themes go, I hate the "Boom!" in Adam Cole's but love the "C-E-O!" in Mercedes'. I think they're both the product of hype and an irrational fondness for early nXt, but one of them irritates me much more than the other. The difference is I think tafka Sasha could get over without all that stuff and Adam Cole would be opening regional indy cards if it weren't for the multiple theme songs designed specifically to get him over. -

Swerve beat up some security, too.
