Thanks for the reminder that it's on. First voice I hear when tuning in is Big Show's? Is he normally the commentator on Rampage?

I can only think of Michael Scott's Golden Ticket idea whenever they say it...

Lol, no. He does commentary for one of the Dark shows. I don’t understand how anyone could hear his voice and think, “let’s put that guy in the booth!”

****ing great show so far. MJF match was hot. Darby and Jay Lethal was surprisingly good. Wardlow vs Brian Cage was killer, like two CAWs going at it.

I also watched Friday’s Rampage early today and it was super solid. Rampage has consistently been getting better.

Title Tuesday is an incredible episode of Dynamite so far. MJF/Regal promo was sooooo good.

Yeah, he looked like he was knocked out cold before he even landed. Really sucks, hope he’s okay. Legitimately upset, lol.

A lot of people seem to think he hit his head hard on the landing but the gif in that tweet in my post above I think he's out before hitting his head. and really, he barely hits his head.

Most cringeworthy episode of Dynamite in ages, and lowest rated of the year.

Shibata challenging for the All-Atlantic Belt and hails from a country that is nowhere near the Atlantic lol.

With all the big names MIA, any episode without MJF is a lock to be subpar.

Yeah, I am straight up bewildered at last night. Every good bit was immediately brought down by the following segment. With WWE hitting its new stride, this is not the time for TK to be dropping the ball.

We’re literally 2 weeks from a PPV and Dynamite is being drowned in ROH bullshit. Last night was the first time I was actually tempted to change the channel.

Yah Tyson was entertaining. I wonder if during the break they got in his ear and told him "dude, why are you hyping up Shibata? You're here to put over Orange". He started talking about OC way more in the 2nd half.

There was actually some decent stuff on Elevation:

-Dalton Castle and The Boys trio match. Castle's prob in my top 5 fave wrestlers now, hope they're building him up for a long TV run.

-Athena working more as a heel has been interesting

-Abadon. Hopefully they can find some role for her, but she doesn't really fit the division.

-Julia Hart has been wrestling a lot, has an awesome theme/look, and improving in the ring

Why must Jay Lethal be on my TV with such frequency.

And now he's bringing Jeff Jarrett! I could've done without the inclusion of that match on the PPV.

Great promo from Britt and Saraya, finally got me interested in that match. Main Event looking good and Wardlow v. Hobbs. Should be a pretty good Full Gear.

How can AEW get MJF so right and yet literally everything else so wrong?

Khan is a goof obsessed w/new signings and shuffling people in and out so there's no chance to build people up aside from the top of the card guys. Also, the obsession with everyone needing to be in factions.

Still excited for Full Gear, but haven't been too pleased with the direction of the company. I used to watch every minute of Dynamite/Rampage, but now I fast forward thru a lot of matches and just tune into the storyline stuff.

Might be in the minority, but I actually like this part.

I just wish stuff made more sense.

Yeah, I dig the “you need friends to survive here” vibe of AEW.

But unfortunately, the newer factions don’t really have an identity yet. The Firm and The Embassy feel sloppily thrown together, hopefully they get fleshed out soon. Something is definitely going down with The Firm at Full Gear.
