redfiona99AEW:
Taz does a really good job of heel-not-jerk commentator.
TH2 do feature flippy nonsense Jack Evans all grown up.
I find myself agreeing with JR in re: flippy nonsense Jack Evans and his moves hurting himself as much as anyone and his lack of sense of danger, but I agree with all the love.
The camera work in this match is bad. I am aware that keeping up with FNJE is difficult, but still.
This is building to FTR vs the Young Bucks and I do not care for either team. Best Friends, Best Friends on the other hand, I can get behind.
Random Don Callis (or does he work for AEW now?).
Can I point out that I love Cody's entrance music, and that it's a bad guy entrance music at the same time?
You have a dog collar match and don't show me the collaring? People! There are traditions and reasons and stuff (or ITV have stuffed up the placement of adverts again)
Cody, that move was a stupid idea (looking back on my notes I think this was climbing up to the top rope while tied to someone else in a dog-collar match but it could work for many spots in the match. I think this sort of match should be saved for PPV.
I love Greg Valentine's reactions in the crowd. If he's wincing, we know it's bad. I am also enjoying(?) Billy Gunn looking horrified and terrified.
Cody, stop doing stupid things like this to yourself - I am frequently mean about Cody Rhodes, it comes from a place of affection. And not wanting him to be concussed to hell on the regular.
I did like that the Dark Order did swarm when they got the opportunity.
Kenny Omega is doing great working at making me hate him. I mean, I hate you so much, Omega, after one promo that I am actually in awe. It's this (https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1314014767850418178) promo. It's that mix of 'I am a heel and everyone is beneath me, most particularly my feeble ex-tag team partner' and 'I am not fixating on my ex-partner'. It's glorious.
Moxley's promo also good. (Seriously, he appears to be Wes Anderson, when it works for me, it works really well.)
The Jericho appreciation bit - Lance Storm! Ultimo Dragon! Chavo!
MJF winning the ratbag award.
TNA:
Post Victory Road, I think.
Tommy, you think you'd have learnt not to do that by now. Never trust them! (Probably something to do with turning his back on Brian Myers)
Will Deonna Purazzo regret injuring Suzy - probably!
The wedding nonsense continues.
Excellent heeling Rohit.
Even more excellent cheating.
Scotty has gone sneaky or mad.
Excellent evil fiending by EY
The Impact Zone - Too dangerous for the Detroiters
Rosemary n Taya vs Keira Hogan and Tasha Steelz was good!
Is Fulton lift-strangling people one of my favourite spots - yes it is!
