One last thing I wanna ask? Cause I see people complaining about this all over the internet. Do you guys honestly believe that if Pat Mcafee went to AEW, Impact, or ROH and said hey I’ve been training to become a wrestler. He is one of the best NFL players at his position in the last twenty years, has a very successful podcast. If he went to anyone else they wouldn’t use him as well? I’d be very upset at AEW if they did this yes!

I don't know if my answer is super useful, since I have a similar perspective to you on the angle. I wasn't crazy about the talk show part, but I figured it was just an easy way to drum up interest so whatever. Then they shot the ending last night and I was hooked. But yes, I am confident that basically any company would shoot an angle like this. Especially since given your indications, this angle is likely leading to Pat being an actual wrestler (and honestly, I'm pretty optimistic that he's gonna be good. He's got the character part, the athletic part isn't all that difficult for a professional athlete. Athletes are athletes. It's the acting that's tough *cough* ronda *cough*...) I think any company would be crazy not to at least give that a shot. AEW shot an angle with Tyson, ROH used Stephen Amell. If someone is legitimately interested in wrestling and can bring outside eyes in, why in the hell wouldn't you do it. Even if it was a one time angle, that one time angle isn't for the hardcore fans, it's to grab the attention of outsiders and have them stumble upon a really cool program. The fact that Pat might actually wrestle after this just makes it an even better decision.

Is Pat a fully trained wrestler? No.
However, Pat McAfee is still very much a well-conditioned professional athlete.
...That, and Adam Cole will probably carry him to a pretty decent match anyway.

You nailed it, athletes are athletes. Putting Cole with him to me is a huge vote of confidence that they trust Cole to be able to get a good match out of a beginning wrestler on a stage like a takeover.

While some may argue that celebrity involvement in wrestling can be a bit too much (and that's a legitimate argument to have, honestly), at least WWE has the right idea by putting untrained celebrities in the ring with the workers that they know will keep them from being hurt.

Ridge Holland is not what I expected him to look like at all. This is my first time seeing him and I really like him. Not sure why I pictured him looking similar to Flash Morgan Webster in my head lol Rhea and Dakota killed it

Damn shame Lumis is out injured, he was building momentum with a few wins and i was looking forward to seeing him in the ladder match.
Another solid episode, some good matches and i enjoyed the ending, i have no probs with it, it is being built up well and i feel Cole will get a entertaining match out of him.
