He's going full Kaufman.

I think may favorite thing about this whole storyline is how, when it started, it looked like Stokeley was there to break-up Kris and Willow, and instead they went with Willow being just SO DARN POSITIVE that Stoke's heart grew three sizes, so much so that he apologized to Eddie Kingston for saying he smelled like Burger King & Newports. Now, they need to deliver on that promise of Copeland versus Willow, so she can become the unified Turner Networks champion!

L.A. Knight, the WWE's breakout star of 2023, is 41 years old. Age is definitely an issue in AEW, but I think they're prepping younger guys faster than the WWE is.

Which match specifically?

Yeah. While not the big powerhouse like Nia Jax, Piper Niven, or Jade Cargill, Charlotte is bigger than the average competitor in the women's division, and it doesn't look like she's trying to give them a hug.

No stories or purpose? I think that's an unfair criticism, considering there were quite a few matches last night that were built up story-wise. Now, someone might not LIKE all the particular stories (Roderick Strong vs. Kyle O'Reilly- the bland guy who was in NXT vs the bland guy who was in NXT!), but that's a separate issue.

Ricky Starks' spear tends to look pretty good, on average, given his size.

Can't be any worse than Edge's. One WhatCulture guy (not Simon) once described it as something like "tenderly embracing his opponent before gently lowering them to the ground."

Lashley isn't supposed to be entertaining. He should be booked to go out there and wreck people.

"Angry Adam, the Mad King, and the Chicken... That sounds like one of Chaucer's tales!"

What I'd like to know is, why not Lashley? He can work face or heel, he's a guy who can have solid good matches with just about anyone, and I'd say he does have a bit of credibility (the Karrion Kross vortex of suck notwithstanding).

Like I said, it SHOULD matter. Just like championships SHOULD matter, but every now and then you get a title hot potatoe'd or they put the belt on someone who is clearly not at that level (by the way, good luck in your free agency, Jinder Mahal!), and so forth. For L.A, Knight, winning Act I of whatever isn't all that. Mania should be the blow-off. If Styles vs. Knight keeps going well beyond that, then that's a misstep on Triple H's part, in my opinion.

It was billed as a tag match, Jones was involved (albeit very briefly), it counts. And Mania SHOULD matter, but that's up to the booking.

It wasn't the blow-off match, it wasn't for a title, then no it doesn't really mean anything. So it was at Mania. So what? Here's a brief list of other people who have won at Wrestlemania- Men On A Mission Nathan Jones Snooki Michael Cole.

No, I get the story. It's just a bad story. I could explain the plot of Red Zone Cuba, that isn't going to magically turn it into Citizen Kane.
