I hope with the train thing they got going for All Out's graphics that the cards are reminiscent of the Rumble 08's similar vibe (it looks better in motion but I couldn't find a gif) Raising kids must take a lot out of a guy because Edge aged like 25 years during his retirement. Look at that babyface!

'Wild Thing' is still so cringey to me. It sucks up any kind of violent aura Moxley is supposed to have. I miss Unscripted Violence.

Between that and his unfortunate personal life relapse he's just gives me this vibe of "Blackpool dad embarrassing himself at a family function with a few too many bottles of sauce on the dancefloor". Go back to the old music and he instantly regains a ton of cool factor. Vaguely related,been catching up on AEW with my partner and she had two comments on the buildup to Mox/King. Firstly that as cool as they are, Blackpool Combat Club really isn't threatening as a name and may as well be called the Butlins Bash Boys, which is now the name I'm giving my current favourite stable. Second she persistently misheard Malakai Black's hype promo as "You think you know pain? You think you know EGG? You think you know violence?" and this has just been the final nail in the cringe coffin for House of Black for me. Every promo I'm just going to be expecting him to make nonsequiturs about eggs. It's the little things that put you onto or off a wrestler sometimes.

So I hated most of what they did with the women's division this week
While I am glad women are at least appearing in multiple segments, even if briefly, I disliked most of them this time
1. Britt just buries other women. I resisted jumping on this criticism for literally years, but she showed back up and the first thing she did was say the division sucked without her. I get that she is a heel but this is just a terribly stupid thing to have a character say, especially one in a division that draws so much flak from fans online for how it is booked
2. The shooty nonsense. No we are not at Russo levels yet, but you have to try and spot the symptoms before it spreads to the brain. Almost all of the shoot comments in AEW worked in kayfabe as well, even ones I properly hated like most of the MJF ones. But a sandbag? What the f*** are we doing. That is saying, in subtext, 'our champion is unprofessional because she doesn't go up for other people's fake moves'. What the f*** are we doing here? I am genuinely impressed that Rosa said she will bury them with it with a completely straight face, because that at least works in kayfabe too
3. Why the f*** is our first meeting on screen between Tay and Anna what we saw? They just completely left a storyline on the table here. You could have had Sammy turn and Tay is a heel at ringside for him, albeit not necessarily acting like one, but cheating for him, maybe while feeling conflicted.
Eventually Anna confronts her about her behaviour and Tay says she is still herself but has to support Sammy. Anna accuses Sammy of corrupting Tay. Eventually this leads to the match where Tay does turn heel on Anna, says Sammy didn't corrupt shit, that she gave him the killer instinct. Or the opposite say she tried smiling and high fiving the fans and all it meant was the two of them losing over and over again, so she's paired herself to a winner now instead. She could be distraught about beating the shit out of Anna but know she has gone too far to turn back now, and has to commit to it. This can even set up an eventual face turn for her.
That took me two seconds. I am not even demanding something as long winded as the above, but this is pretty pathetic

Last seen teasing going for a title. Most figure it’ll lead to taking on Starks for the FTW championship.

Like it's basically calling Rosa dead weight, which, makes perfect sense in and out of kayfabe, even if it's obviously pissy behavior from Britt, someone who has lost to Rosa more than just about anyone else. Not saying I had much use for the promo, but not due to that.

Reminded me more of that Bischoff Promo on Sid(the irony is that Sid was the World Champ when Eric shooted on him)

Someone named Brittany has been issuing dmca notices for aew content under a fake name claiming to be a dmca agent for the company.
