I really don't understand why AEW even bothers with like a top 10 at this point... as pointed out by Dax...
FTR have been the Number One Contenders for the tag belts since APRIL, and still haven't gotten a tag match... while people below them constantly have...
if you don't want to follow them... just phase them out... basically every company that's had a top 10 do it eventually kinda for that reason.

But FTR themselves have been defending the ROH Tag Belts as a priority They haven't really been asking for a tag title match, they've been defending the ones they have...

Seeing the communication issues AEW has had this year, its now obvious that losing Kenny has hurt them more outside of the ring.

Dax Harwood grumbling "oh whats this uhhh new japan uhh" on the mic when Will Ospreay and his gang came out was hilarious. You know they're Bret's guys because they're grumpy.

Currently kind of bummed, I know there aren't really true happily ever after endings in wrestling storylines overall as there's always another show, but now that Hangman's reign is done I'm thinking about this moment again after he won the title, finally beat Kenny, threw away the beer and embraced his Dark Order friends, and how I was hoping for...what's the term...maybe like a happier post-happy ending than what we got? I feel like post Bryan feud the storytelling with Hangman didn't line up with what I would have done. And now the whole reign is over and that bums me out. We went from 3 years of storylines where I could see where it was headed in the main bigger picture scene and now it feels like things are just happening and I can't see that bigger picture as easily. I spent so long waiting for him to be champion and now his Reign is over and I feel very meh about it

Particularly given what's happened with Punk, although that's obviously out of their control. I think the chase and the win was what really mattered with Hangman, though. He doesn't need a lengthy reign, but just to win The Big One

He doesn't need a lengthy reign, but just to win The Big One While it sucks the reign wasn't all that great besides some amazing matches, I'm more saddened by the fact that Dark Order has been relegated to Dark and Elevation duty even more so than usual. Dudes are all entertaining and work so well with each other... The full Dark Order entrance with Hangman's Tale is quite possibly my favorite entrance ever in AEW(and a top contender in general).

I feel like the situation with Stu has thrown them off quite hard, before he even left his booking and presence was spotty I feel like they need to either get him back, or maybe start adding some new members and get a direction going again. I badly want them to confront Hangman for essentially kicking them to the curb as part of this spiral storyline he's starting to go on. Someone like Silver beating him and sending him a message that he's the problem would be fantastic.

I… don’t really care about Forbidden Door? When it was announced I was excited, but as the weeks have gone I find myself looking at it like another day instead of as this big event that it probably is. I like New Japan and I’m still fine with AEW, but I don’t really see a point to this.

I liked the Osprey match though, I'd love to see more of him.

Pro: Regal's "tosspot" conversation was hilarious.
Negative: I hate draft kings advertising, or anything else on the mat/barricades. And Excalibur's cheap plugs, at least he can get through vthem quickly.

I wanna talk about my weird crackpot theory that JR is attracted to Sonny Kiss.
So, at one point, JR got in trouble on twitter for calling Sonny "she" on commentary. This turned out to not actually be wrong as Sonny has stated that he is ok with "he" or "she" and only dislikes "they". However it is my theory that JR has a confused attraction to Sonny and referring to him as a she is his way of processing that. And I mean, who can blame him! Sonny is gorgeous!, but I'm already bi so that's not confusing for me lol.
Also, during Sonny's entrance for his TNT title match against Cody, JR said he was "enjoying the presentation" (to which Taz hilarious responded in a very straight guy way "yeah its... cool"). Now to be fair to JR, there were lady cheerleaders there with Sonny that day, so maybe JR was referring to that. But I think its funny to think of JR having confused feelings for Sonny lol.
