And off we go.

Good evening, folks.

Greetings

Jake The Snake good promo

Suzuki-Gun vs. (sorta) CHAOS.

May the best faction win.

Yeah all of his promos since his AEW debut have been gold.

Love Colt Cabana

Going to laugh if Archer just utterly destroys Colt after this heartwarming vignette for him and his upcoming match.

:lol: at Archer randomly beating up someone in the crowd.

Already love Archer

Poor Britt.

Flying solo on the heel side of the crowd section.

Colt doing a really good job with his body language

Lance Archer seems like he will be AEW World Champ within a year

Sucks that there are not gonna be any crowds probably until next year......... Hot crowds were such a big/important part of AEW........

That was good.

Archer vs Cabana was pretty decent to good.

Probably the best possible from them considering their different ring styles.

WTF? it skipped the pin. For a second I thought it wasn't recorded but it showed the replay. lol

Britt Baker so hot

Britt's office is...…bland.

Do I see hand sanitizer there?! WATCH YOUR BACK, BRITT!! They'll kill ya for it.

Just ask Renee Young.

ESPN cares about AEW?!

Someone call Vince.

^ and The Rock recently saying he watches AEW.

New Batman comic series looks pretty cool based on that commercial.

Been meaning to restart my comics hobby and might grab that as my first new book in over a year.

For someone who is a dentist, trying to break people's teeth doesn't seem very dentist-like.

Okay.

This Tout crap or whatever you call it can stop now.

Too WWE-ish.

Vince tried to hire Mike Goldberg in like 2005 to replace Jim Ross

Unless AEW is using Double or Nothing week to tape months worth of new episodes, rather they just call off the event for the time being.

Still too early for wrestling to be holding major events even without a crowd.

:lol: at this Bubbly Bunch segment.

Whelp Chuckie T just broke something in rage since Hager got to say "shit" this week.

Sugar Dunkerton!!!

Guevara getting pissed at being called a fake Latino and then only being able to count to 5 in Spanish :lol:

Pineapple Pete vs. Spanish God was pretty good.

Pineapple Pete

:eek: Sammy spoiling the results for his match against Darby.

:eek: AEW got to say "shit" twice this week. Need a shit counter to pop up on the screen like that time South Park did it.

I think Excalibur is in the lead with the best background so far with the bookcase.

AEW now the #2 trend on Twitter, giving us a reprieve of depressin' release news

Sammy G, Britt and Archer all impressing me tonight

AEW really went out on getting some notable names from the sports world to hype up this Hager-Moxley match.

Makes the whole thing feel more like a real fight and bring in a sports-like feel that AEW mentioned before as one of their goals for the company.

What's the Tony Schiavone merch website he just said?

Love Jericho so much

Was it something from Pro Wrestling Tees?

Wasn't really paying attention when he mentioned it.

AEW now the trend worldwide on Twitter

Well that a quick turn of events.

Ending was a bit of a mess but Kip vs. Chuckie was pretty good overall.

This is a really fun episode so far

Yeah the in-ring stuff has been generally better than last week and the video/promo stuff has been just as good.

Also been flowing better than last week's show.

Next week looks stacked

They've done a great job hyping up this main-event tonight between Hager and Mox in a parking lot brawl

Damn, Daily's Place looks like 982375x better than QT Marshall's gym on TV

Not a bad squash for Spears. He seems better in this small gym environment for whatever reason.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

They did this match at Daily's Place. A few weeks ago.

I bet Double or Nothing happens at Daly's Place

hope so

This is just weird.

Jumping from one setting to another. I get it.

miss jericho on commentary

JR as the 1-man show ain't helping much.

And Moxley can ramp this up a bit with a chair or table anytime now.

Not sure it would be wise to use the same building that the city has been using for coronavirus-related stuff.

Think the Khans also own a couple other buildings in the area due to their ownership of the Jaguars.

:lol: at the Wikipedia article for Daily's Place.

Someone didn't realize a "closed set" doesn't mean it has to be in a complexity enclosed area. It just can't be open to the public while tapings are going on.

AEW now the top trend on Twitter, as deserved

sorry for ur loss Survivor

Guess JR didn't get the memo from Jericho on why guard railings still exist in an empty arena show.

Ahh...thought it was just the parking lot? nm then.

JR solo on commentary is blehhhh

I hope this has some crazy ending.

This match really hasn't felt like it was worth all the hype done during the show and the 30+ minute time slot it got reserved based on how things have been moving soo far. JR being solo on commentary hasn't really helped either.

Match has been pretty decent at least and not Edge vs. Orton slog of a fight.

Well, JR. Why have metal chairs at all? padded plastic would work just fine.

This is way too long.

poor jr has lost it

Not sure why they gave this match so much time, Hager is Hager

The commercial breaks are nice here. Ain't digging this match.

Probably could have been 15-20 minutes and could have snuck in 1 more match if there was talent available.

All these people getting to swear on tv, bleeped or not, and Chuckie T is wondering why he can't fulfill his boyhood dream of getting to say "shit" on tv.

It's over.

That main event didn’t really work. Long form matches are not Hager’s forte.

Hager vs. Moxley was ok. Could have shaved off like half of its time and it would have been much better instead. Just way too slow paced for an empty arena show.

Was expecting Moxley to get suddenly mugged by someone when he turned around considering how up and close the camera was to him.

Despite the main event, this week's episode was very enjoyable overall and maybe the best empty arena show since the first one by AEW.

I don’t mind Hager in an enforcer role but if Dana White wanted him to go away to MMA Island I wouldn’t object.

Hopefully that is the last long match we ever see Hager in

Other than the main-event a pretty fun episode this week

Yeah that match was very boring... Stopped paying attention tbh

I think I found Noid's Twitter account since 1) AEW taped a month of shows in Georgia, 2) attacking Tony thanking fans is weird and 3) Bragging about a McMahon paying off corrupt politicians isn't admirable.

The no crowd hurts the presentation of Moxley maybe more than anybody else. Without a crowd getting into a frenzy at his frantic style, it just falls short.

agreed @ xrod

Damn I really liked the main event.

Thought Noid was from NZ or AU?


That dude's podcast definitely sounds American.

Wtf are Moxley and Hager doing going 30 plus minutes.

Yeah, that was ill advised. I know they're trying to fill up TV time and the logic was probably "hey we can do a title match and let it eat up half the show" but those just aren't the guys to do that kind of match with.

Tell your story in 20 minutes. Anything more is excessive with very few exceptions.

I'd say 10 minutes is plenty for those 2.

Moxley should be booked in matches like Piper was- short hard hitting wild brawls.

lol makes sense. Piper didn't sell either (by the time he was a face in the WWF).

I'd give Britt Baker's butt a dental exam.


But yeah, AEW was good last night.
