Hobbs losing to Orange in a bit of shit style, in that opening contest. Thought Will looked great up until that point, so hopefully he can be treated with a bit more respect moving forward.

FTR obviously going to be the next major challenge for the AEW Tag Team Titles, and although I have nothing against that - considering Santana and Ortiz defeated FTR - I'd have assumed they would at least be in the title scene first. But meh.

 

[CakeWalker]

Can't wait for Hayter to betray Britt - as honestly, that is a match that is going to really bang.

 

[CakeWalker]

Baker vs. Jay was enjoyable - I do think AEW needs to start being brave though and let Britt loses non-title match every now again. Flawless champions - really is a thing of the past and does get a bit samey

 

[CakeWalker]

And the late run ins - either run in earlier or just don't have it as a segment. Tay arrived late - honestly is just boring.

 

[CakeWalker]

PAC looking great in his pre-match promo.

Never ever unless its to set up a title shot like a week later lol

I'd much rather her just take pins in tag matches or something like NJPW does it (outside of the G1)

Yeah - just anything like this. I also find it confusing, that AEW has adopted the NJPW pin the champion system - but it is what it is

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'm just not a fan of champions losing one on one matches if it's not for the belt. My main exception would be like the G1 in NJPW, I'm sure there are others I'd be okay with too if booked right tho

 

[CakeWalker]

I think I mean is that if there is too much 'protectionism' for champions and prospective champions - then the matches that become the most interesting - are clear non-title scene storylines and rivalries.

 

[CakeWalker]

What a great match between PAC and Andrade that was an awesome match - lights out! WHo the fuck is it going to be.

 

[CakeWalker]

Black friends with Andrade - wasn't Andrade manager, End's wife? I have no idea if that is right at this point - but if so that is a cool crossover

 

[CakeWalker]

oh. yes......its Cod - zzzzzz
