Not sure if it's possible with Covid and the border restriction issues. But, if you did the first Owen tournament in Calgary you could sell out the biggest sports stadium they have.

My best friend and I have already decided if it’s in Calgary we’re going. It’s only a 6 hour drive.

I'm curious as to what level AEW is going to make the tournament. A TNT special level? A regular Dynamite level? Something smaller like the womens tag tournament where you will have a lot of Dark performers?

For the first one I think you would be well served to make it huge. Make it one of the 4 TNT specials in 2022. Do it from the sold out Saddledome (if Covid restrictions ease up in 2022). Have a 3 hour one night tournament with all the big stars (Omega, Punk, Danielson, Cody, Miro, Darby, Sammy, Starks, Black, Andrade etc...).

I like Cage. He's a fine talent but there's others on the AEW roster who can do what he does but better (and doesn't look like a walking wellness policy). The downside to signing every big name you can get your hands on is that some people need to be shoved down the card. You can't push everyone.

As I say that, please get QT Marshall the fuck off my TV (let him work backstage exclusively).

cyrus constantly being cyrus ruins it a bit but the last part of the promo when he shuts up is very good

This is the only time I've ever found Omega entertaining. Can't wait to find Bryan/Weeby tomorrow online.

Grand Slam is the #1 trend on twitter 20 minutes before the show even starts. Incredible.

Smart booking. Good match. In fact, the best Omega match I've ever seen (see: WRESTLER, not anime). Can't wait for the rematch, but I'm hoping Bryan remembers he's the best technician in the business and doesn't run it like his WWE work.

anytime omega works with someone who forces him to act like a real wrestler he shows what he is actually capable of. Bryan brought out the best of him here

There was a completely unnecessary, random awesome Lil Uzi Vert cameo where he just stood there while Tony Khan shooed away the Acclaimed.
