I know this is ironic coming from me, but Mox has officially made me numb to blood in a match now.

But it does make people realize that bleeding in a match does lose its luster only because it makes the real "blood" feuds and when the matches should be a bloodfest just does not really have that intensity.

In general, less is more but that’s not AEW’s style.

Guess the way I look at is that Hardcore and deathmatches will have blood because obvious reasons, but he bleeds every match for hardly no reason except for "there must be blood".

And yeah, that is a good point as well and think why now if there was blood in MJF v Daniel match I would be like "that's cool" and not really give it the emotion it is needed, if that makes sense.

But see that's my thing with DMs, hell any "grand" gimmick match like cage match, ladder match or the like. If they're used like it's a normal Monday night than when you're trying to build a very serious feud and conveying that the opponents feverishly hate each other it limits using those type of matches in that feud. Even though it really shouldn't.

Don't take this as me harping on DMs or how things are booked really. I get why "the old way" isn't done anymore. But I will say, imo, when those matches were a rarity feuds could just feel that much more nasty.

but as below, im aware it could also be a work im just not sure what he purpose is other than make faces look whiny lol

This is why if they stay face and it is a work, it's a bad one. He just looks whiny as fuck. Also makes no sense to transition the belts to Gunn Club to FTR if you are turning them heel anyway. Just have them cheat to beat the Acclaimed

I enjoyed the show overall. Face of the Revolution ladder match is in my top 5 matches so far this year and was so fun. Also Mox and Hangman with two amazing promos. Christian too. I enjoyed the rest of the matches on the show minus the battle royal which felt clunky. I think the 4-way match at the PPV will be fun in a stupid sports entertainment way but yeah I don't get the booking choice at all if I am honest
