It's also easy enough to blur kayfabe on that Compared to uttering the phrase "job guy"

Ironically, Meltz and Alvarez hated that part of the promo

I mean, not being funny Dave, but we follow a lot of these guys on Twitter so it’d be weird if all of them were works. And I get that people would hate it but also…I don’t know, sort of nice in a kayfabe way to show the locker room standing up for itself a bit, especially with what others have said.

Honestly, I don't see the comment about the tweets as being shooty in the same way as many of the other comments. Twitter is public record and it's all out there for anyone to see. Stuff about being positioned as the "job guy" is insider.

In fairness to Dave, while he hated Darby bringing that up on tv, he again did mention that most of the people causing issues are ex WWE guys but did say case by case bases. He just hated bringing it up on tv because he thinks it makes AEW look bad. Now does it.... maybe? I didn't take any issue with what Darby said. Dave even pointed out that while some feel the perception is wrestlers aren't getting punished that it isn't true at all. I do think it's fairly easy though to see whose an issue and whose not by... whose not being used

Ha ha ha ha GOOD! More no- f***s - given on the mic Darby plz. The Sammy lines did bother me cause I thought it’d be so easy to say the “job” and “bump guy” lines through kayfabe.

I mean being paid 6 to 7 figures to do nothing is a hell of a 1st world problem to have but still it's disheartening to constantly hear about AEW being a middle school both in action and attitude backstage.

Generally not a fan of this worked shoot craic but given the four that were talking, it’d almost be disappointing if they didn’t go there on some level.
Props to MJF’s selling of the Ironman match, he looked like he died and was reanimated using a broken microwave.

I wonder if this is the Double or Nothing title match or it it'll happen on TV in the next month.
On paper the challengers might not seem "PPV worthy" but if there is another big match on the card (like Elite v BCC blood & guts) they could maybe get away with it.

Jungle Boy's promo work has gotten better but does anyone else think that Darby has this sort of aura and charisma about him on the mic that he definitely didn't have until recently? Dude seems so much more natural and comfortable on the mic, feels effortless with him whereas before it didn't. I'm sure Sting has had a hand in that.
Anyway, loved it, and I believe it looks like we have our first ever AEW World Title feud involving more than just the champion and one challenger?

Great segment. I was skeptical of Sammy being involved in this but his promo exchanges with MJF in particular were pretty decent. Who spiked Darby’s drink also where the heck did that promo come from?
MJF’s face my goodness lol.
