Gordi, I like you and respect your opinion, but I think you're way off on this. If this were a Seinfeld board more than it already is and we were discussing the shows as they happen, and Seinfeld was pitched to us as a show about stand up and it was a show about stand up for the first season but then wasn't in the second season, people would have a right to ask where the stand up was. And then it might come back in season 3 if enough people made noise, and if it doesn't and it continues to be the only talking point then sure, make a statement about it. Accepting a disappointing situation just

The pairing of Darby and Sting is odd because they aren't really similar as wrestlers outside of the facepaint. I suppose they're both mysterious but Sting is out here WOOing and fist bumping Schiavone, he isn't really the brooding Sting from 1997 that matches Allin's energy. So their relationship is more along the lines of, 'Hey, man. I've been there, you're in a bad place, you're going through a divorce, you're sitting in the rafters a lot. Hang in there, hoodlum. It'll get better. Eventually you can get cheated out of a proper blow off to your feud with, I assume, Cody.'

I'm saying if they lost the titles next week, then their first reign would be shorter and against less spectacular opponents than we may have thought they would but I think that's a good thing, it gives them even more reason for their feud with the Good Bros if they interfere and even more heat when they try to win the titles again. It is not a comment on the matches or the Bucks abilities, I'm not sure why you think this is a dig. Besides, they'll have multiple reigns as champ, losing the first one so soon after struggling for so long to get the titles in the first place is a natural next cha

Compared to Page and Omega? They've defended against the Acclaimed and beat Hybrid 2 and Top Flight in non-title matches. I'm not arguing their run of matches, just the recent ones.

Hey, they’ve been more serious on Dark the past couple of weeks, that’s not enough set up for you? Honestly, I like Santana and Ortiz winning the titles given who the challengers are. It would mean the Bucks first reign was a bit of a fizzle but that just gives them reason enough to go on the hunt again.

I thought Darby/Janella was really good, best Joey's looked in a while. Code Red off the top was nice. Not sure what to do with Joey, he seems to have found his level as a guy who earned his stripes in death matches and now trades off that tough reputation to put better guys over. He's AEW's Tomoaki Honma, that's a fine job to have. Lee Johnson has a lot going for him, after his match on Dark and this one I think he's shown a significant amount of growth from last year. And oh shit, a new Anderson? That turn IS coming. PAC destroying Nick Nemeth was rad. Not sure if Nemeth has a futu

That looks like an awesome card. Interested to see Royce Isaacs in this and a few new faces, especially Superbeast. Dickinson/Cobb sounds like it should be especially fun.

I was about to write the same thing. He looked really good working with Dustin on Dark and I wouldn't mind if he takes over for QT as Dustin's partner. I can get into Aaron Solow and Lee Johnson as a tag team, Lee especially had a great hot tag. And did Solow dye his hair to match his new stable? That shows commitment. I'm also into the Acclaimed's weekly raps. Caster is much better when he's not off the cuff and he legit gets me at least once each time out. Tay Conti rules.

I'd be very interested to see some AEW crossover for the G1. I think Mox is a good one and Adam Page and maybe Archer since they have some experience. Not sure what Wardlow's conditioning is like but he would make a good impression and I'm sure he could use the experience. I'd really like to see MJF work a New Japan crowd too, Switchblade has made an art out of it and Max could find that level too. Yano/MJF has a high chance of comedy match of the year.

Fine, greatly de-emphasized and not used as a metric for determining challengers unless they want it to.

Free will and self-expression? You make it sound like every other promotion is a gulag like WWE and that's just not true. Nobody is criticizing how they run their company backstage or that they like to have their friends around, we criticize when that fact gets in the way of an enjoyable product. If you are fine with Luther bumbling around the ring on Wednesday nights more power to you, I would much prefer to see almost any other wrestler and the fact he's getting this payday and TV time when other talented wrestlers aren't is annoying to me and it takes me out of the show. And not for nothing

I think it's fair to criticize the long-term booking in AEW because often it's a journey that is getting figured out as they go and it's going to have some bumps along in the way. The hope is that it will come together, AEW's track record with that has been pretty good so far but not impeccable. I don't think Page has been cooled off, I think he's in danger of getting cooled off if they don't give him something important to deal with and Hardy isn't it. He needs to face down someone like Hager next. My issue with Jungle Boy's booking is that it never seems to go anywhere. The longview is

I definitely had to hold myself back from excitedly boring my partner with the New Japan news. The promo for Jade was also really good, could’ve used it a few weeks ago but better late than never.

Tony was so funny during the Baker/Rosa match, sticking up for Britt every chance he gets. Good match too, the finish works for me and I hope it's leading to a gimmick match now at Revolution. Sterile Glove on a Pole Match maybe. Hangman and Hardy are fun together. The women's tournament announcement was rad, first time the AEW women's title seemed like a big deal in a while. Miro was great during the wedding segment. Ending looked a little botched. I was hoping for more Mr Charles the Butler, to be honest. The one time this angle could've taken a beat and they sped past it, oh

I saw what Alexa is doing now for the first time at the Rumble, it was a lot to take in. I appreciate the effort, she's definitely giving it her all, it's just so awful to me. I enjoyed the Fiend when he was just an entrance, everything after that has been pretty bad. I'd count the Hell in a Cell with Rollins as a turning point in my WWE viewing, it was the first time since I was a teenager I was embarrassed to be watching wrestling. I really enjoyed the Funhouse match with Cena but it was a one time deal and I don't think it will ever be recreated. It's not that it's supernatural either, I wa
