Hologram out injured until Full Gear apparently. Got hurt at some point in his match with Mortos which makes it even more impressive.

I’m getting really annoyed at the constant “IF IT WERENT FOR AEW…”. babyface promos and it’s not just recently with the Moxley angle.

Usually it’s just been limited to Dax’s MAH FAMILY AND MAH GOD rah rah speeches but it’s spreading.

It’s equally annoying as the WWE trope of talent and their “dreams”.

We don’t have say anything else about Jericho getting the title, we all share the same feelings on that.

Whoever is operating the spray tan backstage has a heavy god damn hand because nearly the entire roster looked like glazed hams out there.

The thing I got from last night's show is there aren't enough babyfaces. And definitely not any with name power. The roster is extremely lopsided.

Oh I’m sure Captain AEW, Adam Copeland will be back soon enough to stem that issue.

They were just given a new contract for a huge raise that's made them profitable. It was number 6 in the key demo behind NBA, Kamala's town hall and some fox shit. It's routinely in the top 5 if not top 3. WWE's ratings and attendance shrank for 20 years and the company only increased in value. The only people who seem to be concerned with AEW's ratings are people who don't watch.

And with the Max deal it matters even less to those not being paid to care, I assume.

My Dynamite preview story for our local paper is up. Besides the interview with Stat this morning, AEW connected me with Moxley via Zoom yesterday. What an interesting dude.

This BCC angle or whatever they're called now is so fucking good. Wheeler is almost like a hostage because he turned on Bryan and there's no going back. Darby from the rafters is a great cheap pop. Bucks showing up only after everyone else chasing off the BCC is also great cheap heat but also puts over how little they care about the company.

I actually really like Bucks Vs Private Party btw and we all know how I normally feel about the Bucks. They did a great job putting them over and making it feel like a big deal.

I just really hope the Elite don't end up saving the company from Mox and the gang. Gotta be Darby this time next year.

Mox's current run is what heel Austin should've been.

It hasn't come close to peaking yet and is a highlight of the show. Darby is the destination, and it should be at the show Darby didn't get to main event. There's enough ways to keep things going if they can be patient.

Literally the highlight of the show every week and I think you're the first person I've seen anywhere that isn't digging it outside of WWE trolls on social media tbh.

Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of anyone involved, which colors my bias. Like, I give them all props for being great workers, but none of them engage me, at all.

With ROH Final Battle taking place at Hammerstein Ballroom, Collision will also use that venue the next day on 12-21.
