The only thing that I'm not crazy about from this match is Dustin's face paint. I've never been a fan of the half faced look.

Great video package.
This is what I want. Great characters, promos, video packages and storytelling.
Workrate is great but it's not the be all and end all.
This match needs to be a strong brawl in and around the ring. A hard hitting match that goes about 10-12 min, 15 at most.
If they try and have a technical wrestling match it will more than likely suck.

If AEW can put promo packages together even half as good as the Dustin one for their big events then I'm going to be hyped beyond belief.

While I love the Goldust character, it's something that only works in wwe for me. Very hyped for this though. Huge applause for everyone involved. Each one of them bet on themselves instead of following suite with everyone else and get their payday in wwe. Can it wait to watch this and hope that once their on TV they make their way to St Louis at some point.

From what I’ve heard, when he denied it he was still under contract, but it was known that his contract was expiring late April, early May. So he wasn’t lying, but he also wasn’t gonna go into detail about his contract. Yes, that's what I assume. The question was something like, "I thought he was under contract?", so I said he probably was when he said that. He claims to have asked for his release. Let's all appreciate for a moment that for the first time in almost 30 years, Dustin finally left WWE of his own volition.

Re-watching the Dustin video, I love that they have him drawing parallels between him and Cody when it comes to having to set the Rhodes name aside to get something that was their own, though obviously a very different situation.

I mean...okay, I guess. But Leva has a great, fun gimmick in her cosplaying stuff. I feel like they may be boxing her in a bit with this one. But hey, whatever works, she's hopefully getting a good payday from all this. Plus, it totally should have been Shhhhnarry. EDIT: Oh wait, what?

Long story short, the latest BTE had Cody and Kenny sign Leva and Matt and Christopher sign Peter. I now want to see Peter Avalon vs. Leva Bates and those were words I didn’t think I’d say in my lifetime even as a fan of both.

Oh no, dissention in the ranks over whether to go with Blue Pants or Norv Fernum for the librarian gimmick. It’s like the Mega Powers exploding for meme enhancement talents.

I don't know what Peter Avalon's deal is, but he looks like someone let the air out of Rick Rude, circa 1993.

He's basically one of the earlier So Cal talents that came out of PWG that got overshadowed a bit when it settled in becoming the indie occasional supercard fed but he still had some really great underdog moments. And yeah, the moustache has helped aged him about 10-15 years from where he was back then.

Leva would be a good addition to the AEW Women division, her cosplay thing would make her at least as over peak Sandow was imo.

I love Professional/Pretty Peter Avalon and it’s a great pick-up, but I’m not seeing myself loving him if he gets stuck with a librarian gimmick. Or whatever this is.
I’ll have to see how it plays out.

Hopefully it's just temporary like what Daffney's "Governor Palin" gimmick was in TNA before she went back to being herself again (although it was a more brooding character compared to her WCW/indy version), if Leva does end up winning against Avalon, should that match happen. I would have gone with Veda Scott as the female Librarian instead.

They should be a tag team. Leva and Peter, The Librarians!
