My only issue with this show was the two semi-final matches should have been switched and Dustin had no reason to bust himself open like that.
I am really growing on Britt Baker, which surprises me because I really didn't like her until around a month ago. I think this quarantine has helped Baker and Shawn Spears the most out of the roster. I'm hoping Spears gets a solid midcard push from this, I think he's better than AEW is making him out to be. I really don't think the finish to Darby/Cody made him look too bad, because they've been making Cody look like a smart technician for a while and Darby has always been a headstrong dude who I think it makes sense for him to get outplayed. Still think it's a little lame they went with the predictable, but without a 16 man tournament I don't know how you make it unpredictable.

Rey Mysterio is also small and he has been a world champion. I think he has a Jeff Hardy or Sting quality to him. Sure, not the best on the mic, but the charisma when he's out there in the ring cannot be questioned. I have no doubt that Darby Allin will be a world champion in AEW in the next 5 years.

Man... sometimes I get the writing itch but i know it's the type of thing where i'll stop halfway through and i hate that I come here for the nostalgia at the moment. I'm past my prime in efedding lol I think I am too tbh. And my motivation is come and go at best. But one of my biggest regrets is not getting a full blown feud with you because i think our writing styles mix well.

I started watching this season again because I saw Yul was going to be on it, as well as Adam and Sarah from other seasons that I watched them win. I really like the frantic nature of this season. I just really don't want Ben to win because he just doesn't seem to be as smart as the other players playing but beyond that I won't care. Even Michelle, who I don't think should have won her season, is playing really well this time around.
I didn't watch Tony's season and he wasn't around long enough on Game Changers for me to get a good vibe on him, but I find him really entertaining and his social game getting the extortion tokens from both sides made him look really good. Tonight will be interesting, but I do think Jeremy will be the one to go home.

I'd love a Darby upset of Cody just to throw us off a bit but I can't see them not doing Cody/Archer in the finals. I really wish they had've held off on this to make the tourney 16 man instead of 8 and given the ability for more upsets to occur in early rounds since this whole thing has seemed really predictable to me.

My only fear is that they grab too many of these guys and we have a bunch of WWE castoffs as major players in AEW. It already feels like this is the case a little bit looking at the AEW rankings seeing as though Darby and Omega are the only non-WWE guys there in men's singles. With Brodie Lee and Matt Hardy likely to climb up as well, it causes me to have even more concern about this.
I do think a couple of these guys would be good additions (mostly Rusev and Hawkins/Ryder) but I don't want them to pick up too many of these guys as I think it'll cause newer faces to get lost in a shuffle. Most of the others I'm lukewarm on at best for the above reasons. I'm hoping whoever inevitably turns in the tag champions storyline that is going on is the one who knocks Moxley off so we can have our first AEW Champion who wasn't in WWE.

After releasing Gurley but still being stuck with Goof, I hope we go 0-16. Goof. McVay. That is all. As a Jags fan, me too. Low key really like the Eiffert signing for us. If he stays healthy, big if of course, I think he'll help Minshew out a ton as a safety valve.

Nick Foles being traded was the best news I've heard all week. Pretty unhappy about Calais getting traded though and am really unsure what the Jags are doing as a franchise. Khan has stated this year is "playoffs or bust" for the current regime yet here we are giving up any player worth a crap.
I do think we have a decent young core in Minshew/Fournette/Chark/Allen just need some help on both lines and in the secondary. If all else fails, they bomb this year and we can get Trevor Lawrence (as much as I'm rooting for Minshew to ball out).

Being from Jacksonville, I wouldn't be too upset if shows moved to Daily's Place (if fans are allowed in, which at this point would be surprising).

Am I the only the one who'd prefer Omega and the Bucks to turn on Page and not vice versa? The crowd is clearly behind Page over the other guys and I think the story would be super interesting.
They'd have to tone down the alcoholic stuff of course, but that's my preference.

I had no stakes in this game, but I'm really happy for Andy Reid winning a Super Bowl. Next year Minshew mania is coming for everyone...haha

So I'm proud of the fact that I made the playoffs drafting primarily Jaguars players even though I'm getting smashed in the playoffs.

I wish this format was more mobile friendly because I'd read the crap out if this (from what I can see it does look really nice though). I'll read through when I get home. AEW has sort of reinvigorated my wrestling love and I tried to do this myself but I just don't have the motivation to write. I hope you push non Elite, non ex WWE guys like Darby Allin and Private Party.

Next three games really determine the season for Jacksonville. Really curious what they're gonna do at QB, especially if Minshew plays well next game against Houston and pulls out a win. I'd still like to see if Foles can pull out late season magic like he did for the Eagles, but it's hard for me to see Minshew getting benched with how well he's played.

Honestly really happy with how the Jaguars have played without Foles. We're one bad play call away from being 2-1. I don't think there will be any sort of QB controversy unless we win out the rest of the way and Minshew plays out of his mind, but man is he playing really well for a sixth round guy. It's nice to feel hopeful about scoring points when we're on offense after last year's disaster. Plus, look at this dude.
