QT Marshall also doesn't give a shit about Wardlow

Listen to the crowd reaction when he beat Sky for the title and compare it to the pops he gets now. He’s still over but man he’s lost a lot of steam. I don’t even blame him for it, he’s been improving all around, but the booking post MJF match has been suspect.
Plus they had weeks if not months to give him a new theme when he was feuding with MJF and wasn’t allowed to have music. They gave him a new theme, it bombed, and they went right back to his old theme which is fine for what it is but it’s not a theme that’s going to get a pop when you first hear it. I feel like if he got a memorable new theme after the MJF win, it wouldn’t have fixed the booking but would have improved the overall presentation.

I know Archer has the countdown gimmick, as does Christian, but I think a sort of countdown with a symphony backing transitioning to THIS IS WAR would be a good idea.

'I want there to be no disqualifications and falls count anywhere in this match where I'll be defending the title I just won, there's no way this could backfire on me.' Wardlow, you played yourself. Which was even more perplexing that it ended like a last man standing

Falls Count Anywhere matches can end a few ways
Pinfall (Anywhere)
Submission (Anywhere)
Ten Count Knockout (Failure to get up)
This ended on the ten count knockout, Wardlow could not get up. You dont usually see the match end this way so I thought it was cool

Really I don't get why they didn't just have Hobbs pin him. It would have been both less anticlimactic and faster.

I guess with how the match flowed it made more sense for QT to screw Wardlow and then they both take him out Wardlow getting pinned I think makes him look worse than taking multiple chair shots and then getting powerbombed through a stage

Hobbs was standing two feet away from him and it was a completely negligible drop. He easily could've just hopped down and pinned him after doing it.

I think they wanted the visual of Wardlow getting powerbombed to hell And, idk if they'll do it but potentially, write Wardlow out for a few weeks due to the injuries sustained

Wardlow needs to go away for a bit and come back and start over. It's been awhile since I've seen someone lose as much momentum as wardlow has.
Him winning the TNT title was pointless. They could of had him stay away until tonight or had Joe vs Hobbs at the ppv and have Wardlow cost Joe the title, then have their blowoff match tonight.
Unless the plan was to bring him back to only write him off. Hopefully if he is going to be away for awhile Kahn books him better when he returns.

I guess the thinking is it’d be “weird” for Wardlow to not acknowledge the tnt title upon his return..so they have him win it back, only to lose it, because they probably want to get him out of the tnt title picture.

I don't blame Wardlow for losing steam and its unfair to compare him to Alex Riley feud with Miz or even Virgils feud with Dibiase saying anyone could of been in that role..Wardlow was alot like 2005 Batista massively over but the problem was his booking that did him no favours and made him lose steam and last nigh't didn't help him any.Thats more on AEWS booking then on Wardlow himself

I’m curious why Hobbes couldn’t have just beaten Joe for the title if Wardlow was only going to be champ for a grand total of 3 days.

SRS said they want Joe to be more of a ROH guy, and also I feel TK didnt want to do a heel vs heel match in Joe vs Hobbs.
If Wardlow didnt get injured then I assume he wouldve pinned Joe at FG, he wouldve dropped the title to Darby in Seattle, regain it a month later and then dropping it to Hobbs.

He could do with taking a break and coming back repackaged I think, maybe as a bitter heel or something like that.

I now want the movie Speed to be reenacted by AEW talent.

Ratings can't go below 800,000 or it would explode!

Genuinely the first time I've ever seen a 10 count used in a falls count anywhere match, is that an AEW thing?
