I wish these vids were longer or at the very least, that AEW put out more than one a week. Excellent storytelling. I'm looking forward to this match.

This episode was SO SO SO good. It only took ONE video for Shawn Spears to look like a main event player, Tully is used to perfection, plays his role spot on, and Cody coming in and being so "numb & hurt by it all" that he doesn't even need to read the contract, he signs and leaves. The slow build to MJF's eventual turn on Cody is being done masterfully too. It's crazy how a 6 minute video can do so much more than WWE can do with hours and hours of programming. I hope we cna let the MJF turn simmer for some time.We just had Shawn turn on him Agreed. I think with how they have their finger on the pulse of how to unfold storylines this will be a slow slow slow build. They get basic storytelling, and how to present it, so they have to know there's a lot of life left in Cody being MJF's "best friend". I assume eventually one day Cody will be champ, and that'd be the perfect time, and it would make sense for Max to strike when it benefits him the most.

I would have Cody win the title, have a match with MJF for it where MJF completely turns on him to win it,go full heel,cheat ,beat him down and gloat afterwards on his face.

Really, what's crazy about AEW and all of these series' so far is that they are really just going back to the fundamentals of what really makes a wrestling program work. Its heated feuds (Cody/Spears) and competition (Janela/Allin/Havoc). Its not some dumb sports entertainment, lowest common denominator bullshit. It's not blood for the sake of blood, it's not this shaky-camera-on-impact when someone hits the mat, over-produced junk.
I'm so glad to be able to be a fan of wrestling again. It's been a long time since 2002. I'm hoping to catch All Out with a friend of mine, but if I cant, you bet your ass I'll be watching the TNT show. I'm stoked as shit.

Hopefully Ivelisse behaves well because otherwise she will get the Hania/Taeler Hendrix treatment...

This company is constantly surprising me in new ways. So frigging happy to see Jake seems to have found a place in the company. Piper's daughter is surprising and I can't wait. Jazz looks badass. Nyla is so damn inspiring, not just for the LGBTQ+ community but as an Native American wrestler as well. Seeing another Native American in a spotlighted role is so cool to me. She has my total support, doesn't hurt that each time I see her she looks more comfortable out there. It really needs to be the end of the month already.

Can we just talk about how confident Jake must feel to say THAT line? I got a laugh out of it, but taking time to digest it, to be comfortable to reference the Heroes of Wrestling debacle must truly be a sign that he is doing well in his eternal battle with addiction.

Watching that segment with Nyla Rose, I think she could make for a really solid babyface.

I was skipping through it to get news so didn’t notice that, man. It’s actually more surreal now considering the good health he’s in.

Looking it up it looks like Teal was an actress before recently moving into wrestling. I haven’t heard about her at all so I can’t tell how good she is in the ring. Should be good exposure for her either way.

As soon as I saw Jake dealing, I thought "man, if he says 'wanna play 21'" and Snake didn't let me down. Bless that man.
