Well, I was so glued to my television that I really didn’t even participate in the live thread this week. Arcade Anarchy was just such great, campy fun. Christian’s return was a stellar match. I’m invested in QT Marshall of all people. I have to go 10, here.

Not really force feeding anything is he? Whole point of the segment was to get Solow, Comoroto, and Ogogo over more than anything. Legitimate young, hungry talents, and Ogogo a former Olympian. Marshall's gonna be the head cause he's the trainer, he's the coach, but Comoroto/Ogogo, those guys are the meat of this. And on the other end so will be the likes of Lee Johnson. If you are 15 years into your career and you have not gotten a single sniff at a big company before AEW, you are not good enough to be in the big leagues I think in the case of QT this is true but maybe not true for everybody. Eddie Kingston didn’t really get a chance before AEW, I don’t think I’d count his Impact stuff as a real chance.

Cause plenty of talent that are on AEW have been waiting for a chance to make it big and have knocked it out of the park like Eddie Kingston just to name another.

Eddie Kingston didn’t really get a chance before AEW, I don’t think I’d count his Impact stuff as a real chance. It's not true, QT suffered a near career ending injury when he was in Ring of Honor and stepped away, it was only when he was brought into AEW that he literally begged Cody for a chance, and when he got it he ran with it. There was literally no favoritism, he fought for everything he was given. Dude went from looking like a dough ball to getting in tremendous shape, dude's training can't be overstated enough in how it's seemingly helped multiple talents in the company, and he's using this stable as a way to get three promising young talents over... nothing really wrong with this.

Quick breakdown and thoughts:
Kaz vs. Christian was a fantastic opener, a nice methodical pace to start, then picked up near the end
Cody vs. QT seemed like it would be the dud of the night, but the post-match angle was great. I don't get the dislike for it, because it's going to build new stars. I can guarantee that Johnson, Comoroto, Ogogo, Solow and the Gunns are going to come out of this looking like diamonds
Mox vs. Bononi was a fun, competive slugfest, with Mox showing once again that he has the smarts to take down a larger opponent
The trios match was a fun car crash and set up yet another fun trios match for next week
The women's tag was fun and got wild at the end, plus Allie got a rare singles win. And it looks like either she or Tay will be the next to challenge Shida
That main event. Holy shit, that main event! Statlander and Trent returned, we got a Sue appearance, we had a TEDDY BEAR LOADED WITH LEGOS, and man, it was just a fun, chaotic brawl from start to finish
Plus, Jade kicked Velvet in the bladder lol

A rare (but not so rare for AEW I've discovered) 10 out of 10 for me. There is nothing I didn't enjoy or I felt was unneeded.

I don’t think he’s very good, so that’s my problem with it I guess? We’ll see. I think somebody like Ethan Page luring away Nightmare Family members would have had a similar effect, but I’m a fan of his so I’m biased.

If you are 15 years into your career and you have not gotten a single sniff at a big company before AEW, you are not good enough to be in the big leagues I dont fully agree with that statement. Guys like Chuck Taylor, Orange Cassidy, and Eddie Kingston are proof of that. It can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's just finding the right gimmick or opportunity, sometimes it's the right opportunity. Sometimes it's just reinventing themselves. Now I will say I'm not a HUGE fan of QT Marshall either, but aside from getting the win in a Bunkhouse Brawl he hasn't exactly been pushed as this huge threat

I'm not saying you can't not like QT Marshall, but the guy had to basically battle for his spot and it was never nepotism like some seem to be saying it is.

Right, but we also don’t know what’s going on backstage completely and if that’s his take and his sense of it, that’s about as good as anyone else’s take. That’s all I’m saying.

9 for me. Lots of plot development and it has me really interested in seeing what comes out of everything.
I think the Nightmare Family split can be really interesting since while the story is ostensibly QT Marshall vs. Cody, but it's a good spot to feature the new guys like Aaron Solow and Lee Johnson.
That's the problem with hot takes isn't it? They're made to get a rise out of people instead of being based on facts. It's also a really ignorant statement besides.

Cody was the one who said it not QT, but fair enough, but the injury stuff was 100 percent legitimate, they talked about it long ago in his Undesirable to Undeniable segment

I gave it a 6.
The Christian match didn't do much for me. Too slow at the beginning but it's understandable giving this is Christians first single match in ages.
For the first time I enjoyed a segment that involved the young bucks. Great promo by Don Callis. Has me interested in what happens next.
I love Cody, But I'm not looking forward to a stable ( Another stable ? )led by QT. So I'm guessing we're just dropping the Cody-Penta feud ? Seems like it.
Women's match was good.
The 6 man was ok, The Good Brothers bring down every match for me.
I thought the main event was going to be a showcase to jump start Miro's single run.....nope. He needs to get away from kip, best friends. Just leave this feud alone.
Lack of Sting hurt the rating for me as well. Not a great episode but not a terrible one either.

I think that disliking QT and finding him “minor league” is a fair opinion. Saying that, by mere virtue of the fact that it took him 15 years to catch a break, he’s inherently not cut out for National TV is a bit tougher for me. Daniel Bryan debuted in 1999, but never made it to WWE until 2009, for example. Some people just come into their own later, especially in wrestling.
