This has to be the longest pregnant pause for a feud ever but we're finally getting the match on Saturday.

I think it is beautiful that the feud started the same day Luchasaurus was born.

Really stretching the definition of “long-term storytelling” here. More like you lost the book you were reading and you just found it and can’t remember where you left off so you’re skipping to the last chapter.

Keith Lee had a cinder block broke over his body and he spent a year dressing like a wizard instead of getting his revenge.

I heard the last time they fought Moses was wandering the desert I shed a tear when he was wearing Moses' gear. |

I’m not gonna knock the long wait time on getting this match, mainly because it feels like the holdup was Lee still trying to get into shape for singles competition due to long COVID. I will say that they might have been better served hinting at it more over the last few months instead of diving back into it like nothing has changed since their last interaction.

I know we usually hate when things just get dropped (looking at you HBK!!!), but I stopped caring about this a long time ago. I would've just let it stay dead.

Sort of makes sense for them to leave it for a while whilst Keith Lee gets a run of matches under his belt and feels like he can justify it. Plus Swerve is now banged up enough for you to plausibly believe Lee has a chance….

Glad Keith Lee is healthy enough to do a run, but, yeah, this almost has a vibe of 'we're paying this shit off finally' to it.

This has to be the longest pregnant pause for a feud ever but we're finally getting the match on Saturday. It was because Keith had medical issues |

I mean, they're both great talents so I don't mind and it's better to wrap up this loose end now at a big event than have it come back after Swerve has the world title. I know this is a deep cut, but during Adam Cole's first ROH title reign they had to have a Matt Taven challenge when Taven was still putting who he was as a talent together as Cole hadn't at that point gotten his win back from Taven beating him for the TV title. It just had the vibe since it was announced and going into it that that loose end had to be tied up.
I think the timing for this Swerve-Keith match is ideal.

It took Odysseus less time to get home in The Odyssey than it’s taken to get this match.

And yet, the Keith Lee Him deal was also used to do Keith Lee vs. Shane Taylor, a match that was significantly longer in the making. Granted, that's because neither man was in the same company for most of the time, but it's still funny that the feud was unresolved for like five times longer.

Next, Keith Lee will face Scorpio Sky to get revenge for Scorpio calling him "gaywad" on X-Box Live 14 years ago. |

Keith deciding that "On closer inspection, these are loafers" long after Swerve has gotten a taxi to the airport.

This is about a hundred steps back for Swerve. Kind of wish they would have just dropped it at this point

This is what happens to me in TEW when I forget about a storyline for months, finally see it again with 11 heat, and just book it at the next show to get rid of it.

In fairness it does seem like a lot of this was delayed due to Lee's health (and I include the Shane Taylor match in that)
