Jade Cargill: I'm not leaving until I get my belt!
Jade Cargill, 5 seconds later: *leaves*
Okay show. About damn time Willow officially became #AllElite. Well deserved, in my opinion.

Mark Carnie argues that 21CW shouldn't legally exist, and, amazingly, the government goes for it.

It's looking like the injury Hangman sustained was not kayfabe. That's gotta suck, especially the week before the show in your hometown. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

60 minutes of Jade Cargill?!? Dear God NOOOOO!!!!
-
Just a reminder that AEW Dynamite starts in less than a hour, as it's a special Tuesday night edition.

The thing is, Baron is... well, not a GREAT promo, but he knows how to talk. He doesn't really NEED a mouthpiece. I think JBL's services could be better used elsewhere.

Hey, but at least we got a Baron Corbin match with JBL on commentary! That's something, right?
... RIGHT?!?

The WWE Creative twitter said that babyface Bray looks like the lead singer of a Counting Crows cover band, and I can't unsee that now.
Also, a much hyped match not actually taking place? Blah blah unprofessional yadda yadda bold new creative vision.

It's funny. 40, maybe even 20, years ago, that would have been a mid card heel gimmick. Now, he's getting cheered over Jericho in Canada.

I have no problem with them pushing ROH belts and talent, because that means Dalton Castle is on my TV, and he should be on my TV ALL THE TIME.

My favorite bit from last night-
Menard: "Do you want to know what gets Daddy Magic's nipples really hard?"
Schiavone: "NO!"

Joanna Silver never fails to deliver. She's a delight!

Right, trained with BOSC, not trained by. My statement is still technically correct, the BEST kind of correct.
-
Miss American Pie DID train with BoSC, so that's kinda close. I get the feeling USPW hired her for her looks and gimmicks, and it was just dumb luck on their part that she's actually a decent worker too.
-
I thought her and Corey Graves worked very well together, so well that I could pretend Michael Cole wasn't there trying to ruin everything with how bad he is.
As for the show tonight, I thought the ROH match was great up until the finish. It absolutely did not land because they just ran something similar with Hayter and Baker.The MJF, Mox, and Hangman promos were solid.
Pac vs, Cassidy was terrific.
The opener was good, again, until the finish. What's the end game here? Aside from dragging things out until Full Gear?
I'm not sure who's supposed to be the heel with the TBS feud. The announcers were clearly denouncing Nyla, but her promo was almost one hundred percent cocky cool babyface.
-
Would we say Judgment Day has actual heat or X-Pac heat? Because it's really tough to tell.

Oh yeah, Riho and Nyla Rose were just setting the world alight with a white hot feud everyone loved when that belt was established. And don't even get me started about the nonstop thrills from when Shida dropped the belt to the woman who thinks being a dentist is a personality. Half the actually talented women had to choose between being stuck in Japan or the US during the pandemic while the other half had to spend all their time making Britt Baker and Brandi Rhodes look good.
I'll give you Britt, but I think the bit about Brandi is unfair. The only big TV feud she had that time was with Anna Jay, who she put over.

As long as we get the Firefly Funhouse bits back. Those were solid gold every time.

QAW for me. My introduction to the C-Verse was AAA in TEW 2016, and from there I moved to QAW and never looked back. They've got a good roster, good product, good location, and are just enjoyable to play. It's a little tougher in 2020, as retirements and other companies now hiring women means there's a smaller free agent pool this time around, but it's still the company I've logged the most hours on.
And for companies I don't want to see close, ACPW. I'm still not completely behind them yet, but it's like everything wrong with them in 2016 has been fixed in 2020 so now they're actually viable and fun to play without making massive database edits.

Jade Cargill wrestles an average of two matches a month. PAC wrestled two matches in less than a hour.
-
Dinner Debonair was great, and I will fight everyone who says otherwise. The problem with the MJF/ Jericho feud, as is a problem with many AEW feuds in general, is that it just. Went. On. Too. LONG. It really SHOULD have ended with Blood & Guts, but then we got Stadium Stampede, and then the 5 Labors Of Jericho, and THEN the match at the PPV.
And despite the criticisms leveled at Jericho, I still say he's better for new talent than Matt Hardy, who really hasn't elevated anybody. I'm especially thinking of the Orange Cassidy feud.

The lore of some companies could use some updating to make them interesting.
Like how EMLL went from "We're a lucha company that DOESN'T do the fun multi-man matches you've come to expect from Lucha Libre!" to "Hey, there's a multiverse, and people come from every dimension imaginable to trade headlocks and chairshots".

You mean NXT ratings back from when he was there or Raw ratings?
Well, both kinda. RAW's ratings are higher than NXT's.

"Fire Sammy" was trending on Twitter after the show. In less than a year, he went from beloved babyface to X-Pac heat.

[C-Verse] Favourite person/people to book?

Little Miss Perfect for me. Usually, I have her feuding with someone and, as a one off, set them as partners in a tag match just to keep the feud going. Then, many times, they have good chemistry. So, all of a sudden, what would have been a storyline I would have struggled to pad out a month or two, can last a year or so.
