Let’s hope AEW does not give David B a job

Pillman Jr really just has his name going for him. Griff Garrison is competent in the ring, but eh. Neither is particularly great. Haven't really been impressed by either in AEW.
Though Garrison could have a decent run in Impact's X Division, I guess. Mike Bailey had a great match with Alan Angels over there recently.

Can't wait for the reveal that the real reason Christian's been doing all this is for the biggest money deal of his career

I love that Christian decided to target Griff Garrison because he really looks like Jungle Boy. It had been a minute since anyone thought about that running gag.

So Christian just hates people with dead parents. WB corporate synergy, have Jungle Boy return with Batman. Christian loses Luchasaurus' loyalty when he says that Little Foot's mom deserved it.

Am I the only one enjoying how oddly similar this feud is to Bossman vs. Big Show?

The promos have gotten weaker week-to-week so hopefully Jungle Boy’s return will spice it back up. Definitely don’t think he’s leapt over MJF at this point.

This angle ruined my suspension of disbelief. I thought Jungle Boy was half-Jungle on his mom's side, but there she was without a leopard leotard.

Could you imagine if Christian interacted with the Dark Order?
"Negative One? I guess that's how many fathers you have now."

I keep loving the petty bitch Christian Cage is becoming. Like, again, the moment Tarzan Boy hits, he’ll get the “Austin comes into save the WWF from the Alliance” pop.

If there's a line on taste it's definitely the one where the pre-teen gets slapped with that. You can get away with a lot involving grown adults who are able to maybe more healthily process that grief and who can reasonably consent to being okay with that stuff happening. You can't get that from Negative One and if Christian even sniffs a Dark Order segment for anything other than a clench moment that never delivers, it'd get me to walk away from the episode on the spot pretty fast.

Yeah, I don't think he'd be allowed to do it, nor do I think he'd actually want to. I could maybe see him trying to say something and getting 10's hand around his throat, and maybe 10 and Luchasaurus having a hoss battle, but even that seems unnecessary as far as these things go.

The thing, is that something horrible being said to a child who isn't emotionally developed enough to be okay with that is by itself the problem. Keep Christan miles away from the child. It's not worth it.

Christian's motivation for being a dickhead should be like this but instead of killing it's insults and instead of funny it's "whatever makes me the most money or reminds me of Jungle Boy"

Could you imagine if Christian interacted with the Dark Order? "Negative One? I guess that's how many fathers you have now." I saw a whole thread earlier this evening on Reddit about the beyond nuclear heat he’d have gotten in Rochester if he’d have done anything related to Negative 1. But even Playa Hater of the Year Christian wouldn’t cannonball into the deep end of verbally attacking the universally beloved deceased father of a 10 year old kid….in his hometown…on live TV…. OR maybe he would. Wrestling is still in the PEAK BATSHIT branch of this particular multiverse. :edit for clarity: they wouldn’t do this. No way Tony would ok it….not a single reality exists where he would. Basically; I agree with exactly what Mothman said 2 posts above this one.

The whole idea of “Here’s Christian to make fun of your dead father or your brother’s drug problem” already seems fairly not my thing as it is, why bring the idea of him doing that to Brodie Lee Jr into the universe? How is Jungle Boy beating Christian in a wrestling match meant to be enough emotional gratification to counter that?
