  • What you don’t want to see from AEW

    • Last one had a weird opening about pyros that wasn’t funny and made the production look like an amateur show.

    • Tommy Dreamer

  • Match Card

    • AAA World Tag Team Championship -- The Young Bucks (c) vs. The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix)

      • Matt + Nick won titles on the AAA show, so this is maybe some AEW revenge

    • Omega v Jericho II

      • Omega won the first bout, Jericho seeks revenge!

      • Last one had BUlly ray, Hurricane,

  • Jericho: “If it wasn’t for me, there wouldn’t be an AEW”

    • I want a company issued thank you.

    • Dusty promised me a rocket on my back!

    • Takes a bite out of an intern’s apple after pummeling him lol

    • Aeriel shot, and then then AEW photo shoot with ladies

    • PAC cuts a promo on Hangman Page, you’re a mossy stone

      • I’ve traveled the world challenging the best, with VHS-like presentation, violin background

      • Proper naughty bastard

    • Cody at Southern Honor Wrestling with his dog lol

      • Dog tucks tail and runs

      • Intro’d Dustin Thomas, with no legs, entering Casino Battle Royal

        • Prize is crack at All Elite Wrestling Champion

    • Extra Jericho heat at the indy show

  • Cody v Dustin

    • Nightmare v Natural, cody is 33 lolol, dustin 50

    • This notion of bro v bro, is marketable and romantic, but not accurate, it’s generation v generation, put the animal that should be put down, DOWN.

      • “One last ride (for Dusty)....or is IT?”

      • Dustin was my hero, but there’s a lazy trope, “the prodigal son”, do you understand the morals and implications of Luke 15

      • One brother does everything right, works very hard, to keep his family whole, the other whores about, making wrong choices.  But it’s the first brother equally wrong, who has an expetancy that he gets what he wants.

      • Natural v Nightmare isn’t accurate, it’s generation v generation, i’m not here to kill Dustin Rhodes, i’m here to to kill the attitude era, i am tired of getting compared to these guilded guys, you set speedmarkers at 35, some pissant bodybuilder throwing gib cameras compares to a Kenny Okada match? Bra + Pantie Spectacular matches with Evolution, or even Dwayne rhyming is better than Punk on the stage?
        When you ride something to death, it dies.

    • Dust not a new beginning for me, my legacy is intact, 30 years,
