I love that Ted Irvine delighted in being a big troll, definitely his son's father.

Jericho has been the glue that holds AEW together since its start, which is why I fear the quality will drop when he takes his next Fozzy/game show/Dancing with the Stars hiatus. Hopefully he can give enough guys a rub before he leaves. I think that's why they pulled the trigger on the MJF turn as early as they did, so by the time Jericho leaves he can easily be a drawing top heel. He's practically there already.

I keep saying it every week it seems, treasure every last second of this Jericho run.

Then there's likely Scurll arriving in a month or two, or Omega in the future.

I love that not only does Jericho get to show why he's one of the best ever, but the Inner Circle all get a chance to shine and show charisma.
Like PnP aren't just "thugs from the streets" and that's their only defining characteristic. They get to show range and do comedy too.
Even Table with Eyes is getting to show some depth beyond being a Table with Eyes.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Jericho right now. Easily the most entertaining star in wrestling today. Every segment he's been in has been gold.

It was great. Just surprised they started off the show with it since a lot of people’s complaints about WWE is the whole “starting a show with a long promo”. It had a lot of wacky humor, and a guy in a box. Very Raw-ish

Love the crowd playing with this. When Sammy revealed his gift to them laughing at the flip flops joke to Chris JeriGOAT to the huge boos when Ted Irvine called out NYC and said Blackhawks were wimps. One of AEW's big strengths is it's audience. Absolutely. That segment bombs if the crowd doesn't care. The crowds at AEW and Full Sail really make Wednesday nights as good as they are at the moment. Guys, is this the best that Jericho has ever been? I'm dead serious. I can't think of a time previous in his whole career where he was consistently firing on all cylinders, week in, week out. The only other periods of his career that come close IMO are the List of Jericho/Ceremony of Friendship stuff with KO a few years ago, his legendary 1998 WCW crusierweight heel run and the first few months of SRS Jericho in 2008.

I absolutely loved the Boricua Gift Basket. You had the Bustelo (damn good coffee btw), the Adobo, the Sazon, the forty, and the chanclas. Only thing that was missing was the coquito.

Jericho has been nothing but gold in AEW. Everything he does it seem like its a Homerun. The Inner Circle as been playing off of him so well. Love this stable and it been a while since I've enjoyed a stable this much. Hager has been used great, I hope when it comes to his first match, has to be soon, he will bring it. He always was a solid big man wrestler IMO.

The best part was when Soultrain Jones got taken out and the faces did it with the Million Dollar Dream.

Soultrain Jones looks great for his age, I love that they've found a role for such a random guy and he's making the most of it. The inner circle is such a collection of misfit toys, Jericho, Guevara, Hager and the former LAXv3 really shouldn't work so well together, yet they do.

Jericho is absolutely giving this run his all. Even at 49, the man is absolute money.

Just seen this, what a fun segment. You can see what an outstanding mind Jericho has for the business. Who would have thought Virgil would have been in one of the most entertaining promos of 2019?!

I don't mind an opening promo if it's good and this was solid gold.

This Jericho run gets better every single week. I love the rub that Sammy, Santana and Ortiz are getting as well. They're all being made to seem like a big deal because of this.
