AEW 2026: Year Seven

Same. Never been a Darby guy, not in a "face of the company" kind of way.. but I don't not-like him either like a lot of folks seem to. But he has put in a lot of work for this company and outside of who I want to see as champ, it's nice to see someone get a moment like that, regardless. Up there with Brody squashing Max, for me. Also cool to see Brody out there for the celebration considering they've tried to kayfabe kill each other for years. 😅
 
Beautiful moment. AEW does these feel good moments incredibly the last year or so. I have no idea where we go from here and I'm so excited.

Darby is one of my favorite wrestlers, and is one of those guys where I won't miss a match no matter who he's wrestling. This moment is amazing, I'm glad he finally got that bastard MJF.
 
Yeah I think wrestling fans are generally pretty dumb. The comments I’m reading tonight are counter to everything they said for years. People asked for an alternative wrestling option. Our hero showed up out of nowhere (I was completely and absolutely surprised by this) to give the guy a boost on a Wednesday TV, and then he won the title. The TV episodes matter and people who don’t skip them are rewarded. What more do people want.

It disturbs me that people have warped themselves into caring about the business of the business so much. You don’t make any money when and how they change the title. When the gate is big it doesn’t do anything for your life. When they wait and wait and wait to put someone over, you have to wait and wait and wait. You’re not getting anything out of that.
 
I'm not a massive Darby guy (don't dislike his work or anything and he's been the hardest working guy forever) but he deserves it and I hope it's a real run. There's so many interesting directions with him on top.

reminder Collision is on tonight.
 
It feels like I haven't seen Wayne in forever. I assume he's only gotten better
 
That hand thing the Rascalz do under their chins, is that supposed mean anything specific?
 
Has there been any update on Toni Storm?

LMAO at the "MJF SPINS THE SQUARE IN TETRIS" sign.

Darby winning, that's good stuff right there.

Don Callis with a pink "KF" armband, hang in there brother, we're right there with you. Kyle Strong...Kyle Strong.

Okada/Takeshita should be an all timer but people thought the same of their CC match and that was only decent, though it did serve its purpose of extending their tension. This one should deliver more.
 
TK must be a big fan of the ROH show where Jamie Gibson won the title cuz he has filed the trademark for a future PPV event entitled AEW REDEMPTION.
 
It's sort of charming how TK loves default event names.
 
I don't know what to make of Lio Rush's new gimmick. I get that he played this character before on the indies, but I dont know. I'm too old for gimmicks like that.
