People can defend it all they want. I don't care what anyone says. If you win all the build up matches and then lose the big match, you still choked, and it's not fun watching Bryan Danielson choke. IT'S JUSTIN ROBERTS REVENGE!!! ... you know... because of the tie... ...when he... ...I'll see myself out.

They literally advertised and hyped up that she would have backup at Rampage beforehand. Considering Jade Cargill's entire schtick has been having people running interference to save her from a loss for the last 6 months, yes having backup in a title match would be considered a big deal and a game changer. But please do continue your condescension. This is Diamante's first match on TV since she was teaming with Ivelisse. It's a celebrity pop to draw a few eyes to what would otherwise be a standard Jade squash. Like I said. Drawing eyes to the worst part of the product.

But please do continue your condescension. But who is to say she won't do something? Like the match hasn't even happened yet? She won't be Jade's next challenger I guess but that was all speculation for a reason You're not wrong that something could happen with her in the title match. But the rub that she would get from possibly being the one who stopped Jade's cheating bullshit would be better served building somebody who is actually going to be there next week, instead of a ploy to bring in a few new eyes.

And in this case those eyes from the outside will be drawn to the absolute worst thing going in their product. I haven't had a problem with the others since they were just kind of brief cameos to pop the crowd, and yes those actually can add interest. Trina on the other hand was treated as a big deal and a potential game changer.No she wasn't lmfao, she was treated as backup for Diamante in a title match, where she probably will be a factor in taking out The Baddies They literally advertised and hyped up that she would have backup at Rampage beforehand.

That was one of the craziest nearfalls I've ever seen. These two are so good.

It's random rapper cameo #486 in the last 3 weeks. It's not something that's unique, and doesn't exactly do much to add interest to the stalest act on the roster. AEW having a pulse with the rap community and their artists is actually really unique and adds a lot of possibilities to adds new fans and crossover to AEW as a whole, but whatever lol And in this case those eyes from the outside will be drawn to the absolute worst thing going in their product.

And the reveal of Diamante's friend is as big of a wet fart as everything Jade Cargill's been involved in since the Shaq match. Just because you don't know who Trina is doesn't mean it was a wet fart, Trina's been doing shit since 1998, that's quite a lot of fans she can bring by being around AEW It's random rapper cameo #486 in the last 3 weeks. It's not something that's unique, and doesn't exactly do much to add interest to the stalest act on the roster.

Can we appreciate how over Tony Khan has gotten these three teams in the last year?
FTR: This time last year people were thinking they were good, but not really adding much to the product beyond good matches which the company was frankly not having any real shortage of. Now they're the most over team in the entire world of wrestling.
Gunn Club: Generic as hell team no one cared about to hyper douche heel tag team who don't feel out of place across the ring from any team on the rosster.
The Acclaimed: Cringy heel team who frankly could only get a reaction by going for lowhanging fruit, to standing ovations from two of the biggest crowds AEW's ever seen.

Wrestling has been so crazy but also enjoyable lately that I forgot about when ROH was like all in on Matt Taven as their top guy and it was like no living person actually wanted it. Either they suspected something with Marty so didn't wanna pull the trigger, or they were just monumentally stupid. Apparently his proclivities were a well known rumor around the UK Indy scene, but nobody could really confirm it one way or the other.

I wish more young wrestlers would watch The Acclaimed. While they are good in the ring, they are made over because of their characters. Just so weird to see so many super talented people on the indies who just have no promo ability. They don't do a ton of high spots, but their character gets the crowd so extremely into everything they do. Because of this they're going to stay healthy, have long careers and stay over for as long as they feel like wrestling. Simply put they're not something you can just find anywhere. There are people on the market who can do some of what they can, but very few who can do everything they can.

It seems almost ridiculous to say, but this may be the hottest crowd I have ever heard for any AEW event period.

Bowens is out Road Dogging Road Dogg every week. Hey now, he's not an awful booker and I will not hear you say otherwise! ... Oh you mean his schtick with Billy Gunn? Agreed.

And amazingly, Jericho as ROH Champion doesn't even crack the top 10 craziest things to happen this year. Or 20. Eh, it might come in at number 20, but yeah this year has been on drugs. It's easily topped by Muffin gate, Cody's WWE return, and MJF's Vegas drama. And that's not even getting into THE big story of the year.

This feels like a mid 2000s ROH title match in the best way possible....
HOLY f*** CHRIS JERICO IS THE RING OF HONOR WORLD CHAMPION!?

This feels like such a weird timeline with Chris Jericho wrestling Claudio Castagnoli for the Ring of Honor World Championship in front of 20,000 fans.
It's a timeline I'm glad I live in but if you think of the absolute butterfly effect of moments that led us here it is f***ing staggering.

Yeah it's interesting they called Chris Jericho 'a wizard' because dude's INT score is clearly in the basement, I'm pretty sure he's just using some third party feat to disguise his charisma casting as intelligence-based casting. He's a charlatan. Eh, could be a Pathfinder Wizard and using an archetype for Wizard that uses Charisma instead. Isn't that basically just being a sorcerer with extra steps?
