I’ve mentioned this before but, it bears repeating: I’m always shocked how confident and poised Jay White looks in these situations. Largest American TV audience he’s ever had, and you’d think he was a weekly regular in AEW. Jay White is just fantastic. It would be weird to call him underrated given how highly regarded he is, but I think it flies just a little under the radar sometimes just how damn good he is.

I've heard the same things about Wrigley as a space to watch a game as Fenway: amazing for the history and just the feeling of being there. But once that washes over, it's a miserable experience in terms of actually watching a game. Oh yeah, I fully anticipate that, and I've done Fenway a few times; I'm around 5'11, a little over 200 pounds, so sometimes those size issues can matter in the old parks. I'm mainly just a big into urbanism and love the idea of being at a ballpark built to suit the city/neighborhood it's located within, and I love the pregame culture on a game day when you have a community surrounding the park/arena. It's the biggest off-the-field thing I wish was better about the experience of being a Mets fan; they got Shea Stadium in the location Robert Moses wanted the Dodgers to go before they left, which means it's just surrounded by highways and clearly designed for suburban Long Island families to drive to, despite the presence of the 7 line and LIRR trains, there's just so little gameday culture or experience to be found in the ol' Valley of the Ashes. I think it's one of the big reasons I steadfastly remain much more of a baseball fan than a football fan; baseball was made for the city, and the vintage parks were built to fit wherever they could be built (and then accommodate the various restaurants and pubs that would spring up around them), while football stadiums require huge spaces and massive parking lots, leading to gamedays just feeling like you're driving out to the middle of nowhere and hoping to have enough time to sit by your car and eat a pre-packed sandwich...or getting stuck in route 3 traffic in East Rutherford, which is its own hideous fate. Ok, this is the wrong forum for all this sportsball rambling, but traveling for games and for wrestling shows just excites me, generally, since I love going to different cities. I'm hoping that I might be able to pull off getting to DC for the NJPW show there in May; it's certainly not in the part of town I've frequented when I head down that way, but it's all good, I'll happily deal with the Metro if I can make it there.

Largest American TV audience he’s ever had, and you’d think he was a weekly regular in AEW. That’s mah man. He’s such a G. I like how he kind of gauged their reaction and was walking the line between being his heel self but encouraging the bullet club chants and pops. I really want him to just go full scorched earth on the audience though, and put MJF to shame.

He was kinda playing the tweener/cool heel in AEW while he and Bullet Club USA are actually face-leaning in Impact right now (the crowd was firmly behind them against Honor No More and they even did some cheap pops to the Philly crowd at the 2300). But you know when he's back in Japan, he's the cockiest son-of-a-bitch around.
