So I'm one Match into Zero Hour and well... when Nigel came out afterwards to join commentary my first thought was "What the hell is Corey Graves doing posing as Nigel McGuinness?" :lol Been years since I've seen him...

Crazy how this show was both very good and also weirdly dissatisfying, but you'll have that I suppose. Right now it's all about establishing the foundation of the brand so it's perhaps understandable that they stuck to their guns for the most part. The only outcome I actually have any gripe against is probably Lucha Bros winning the ladder match, since they feel like the least ROH team in the that thing, and with them having the belts as well, that spells more ROH presence on AEW TV going forward which I'm personally ready to move on from sooner than later.

Kingston losing makes sense, when they want to continue the story (or restart it at one point), also the moment they announced the winner would be at Battle of the Belts VI, I pretty much expected Eddie not to win.

And Mark's loss... Yea, I also felt pretty flat after it, but then I took 5 minutes from the show and I was okay with it after that. In cases like this it's always a very thin line to walk on, because on one hand of course it'd be the best moment to let him have that title, on the other hand there'd always be this weird feeling of them giving him the Title because of Jay being gone... and that just wouldn't sit right either.
So I'd rather see Mark doing some other stuff for now and later in the year, or maybe early 2024 he goes for it once more (even if Joe probably wouldn't be the Champ anymore at that point), when the story isn't mostly about Jay anymore (of course, Jay will always be part of it) and he's finally able to fulfill his dream of becoming a TV Champ.

Vikingo/Komander was some crazy shit, but imo, the 6-Men Tag should've opened, because yea, that flippy shit was unbelievable to watch, but at the same time the slow and long setups taking me out of it pretty fast and this up and down isn't the best for getting you pumped up for the rest of the show. It would've been way worse, if I haven't watched Zero Hour too.

And the Ladder Match was also on both sides of the spectrum. On one hand, amazing, mad spots, on the other hand way too many situations in which someone just could've taking the titles, but then decided to do another spot. I don't have a problem with illogical thinking like that in general, but if it's too often in one single Match, it doesn't look good. ...plus Screamin' Maria is as fuckin' annoying as always and also takes away from me being able to just enjoy the Match.

Match of the Night: Main Event
Moment of the Night: EVERY FUCKING SPOT IN THE VIKINGO/KOMANDER MATCH
Rating: About 80 out of 100

It basically dawned on me in those 5 minutes of break, that they might have done it this way, because they thought the same... because at first I was like "The fuck?", since I, as so many, was so sure they'd give him the title.
