The show averaged out to a good outing. Strong start, tight finish, hit a lull in the middle. Don't really consider the Top Flight scenario to be a situation where an unknown team gets too much offense. One thing deserving respect is that AEW doesn't hold their signed talent above all others. Certain situations should dictate more of a squash, but I'm certain to them it's also good to showcase their product as part of the industry, not above and beyond it. Only thing I found fault with the first half of IC segment is no masks. Being isolated in Daily's after being tested and cleared, would like to see better examples being demonstrated but whatevs. Walking around the streets and meandering about in random buildings, didn't appreciate. The lulls: OC-Sabian was just there (already forgotten about it until now lol), contract signing didn't have the impact they were anticipating, PAC match suffered from TOO MUCH HYPE and is part of the "competitiveness" convo, and blatant Hangover parody could have had a better reception 10 years ago. Women's match was hard-hitting, great action. Rosa getting more spotlight, never an unwelcome thing. Main event was pretty good. Figured the focus would be about Team Taz setting their sights on Darby with Cody possibly going after Cage soon, but the Hobbs turn is a nice twist. Kip really feels like a heat vacuum to me, everything he touches turns cold. He just isn’t good. |

I'm glad someone pointed this out. I see Excalibur, JR and Shivonie shoulder to shoulder at this small desk and JR always talking about wear your mask and none of them are wearing a mask - and Excalibur is wearing the wrong kind of mask, it's such a juxtaposition at the start of the show. I know they probably get tested regularly, but it still jars me.
I have to say I love the overall product of AEW. Yes there's going to be wrestling purests that insist it should be all wrestling 100% of the time and that Jericho is tarnishing his legacy, but honestly his shenanigans along with the actual top quality wrestling makes for a great product on TV.
So I don't care if TK has given Jericho free reign to do whatever the hell he wants, because simply put AEW is entertaining as hell and I love it. Give me Thunder Rosa every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Top Flight gained a new fan last night, and the star power in Mox, Omega, Cody and the Bucks is just incredible. I love it all!

That trio has a ton of potential. Having Hobbs grow under Taz & Cage should do wonders for his career.
