Watching Keith Lee’s AEW debut:
* “First-ever Face of the Revolution qualifying match…” shut the fuck up. They’ve done this gimmick before. If people didn’t have to qualify, it’s trivial, if they did, this is a lie. Fuck Excalibur is an awful announcer.
* Horrible music for Keith Lee.
* AEW fans are not people you want to share a train cab with.
* Keith Lee pulls faces like a child who didn’t successfully bake the cookies, but mom said she was proud of him for trying.
* Justin Roberts is way too labored.
* Horrible music for Keith Lee.
* Crowd chanting something obnoxious. Makes you realize they’re all mouth-breathers and this place isn’t sold out.
* Keith Lee taking his jacket off and looking so smug about looking like total shit got a laugh out of me.
* Isiah Kassidy launched himself in that opening spot.
* JR doing his best on commentary, kind of has to pad time by saying “it feels good” as Keith Lee does his second or third of about eight kneeling poses.
* Holy shit, Lee almost got stuck under the bottom rope.
* These spots don’t even look good. The slingshot crossbody looked like real effort.
* He’s blown up.
* HATE Matt Hardy. The guy has become unbearable.
* This is fucking boring. He’s trying to do a squash match, which is the sort of shit they wanted to do with him in the WWE and he couldn’t pull off.
* Keith Lee can’t really roll out of the ring. I’m worried about his heart condition.
* Something fucking sucked with the editing when he caught Kassidy off the unnecessary dive after the unnecessary post-match attack.
* The catch of Marc Quen was cool. That’s about the only thing so far. The powerbomb onto Kassidy looked sloppy as shit though.
Verdict: Fucking awful. Keith Lee is not a star, and I don’t think this run is going to be sustainable. He looks like someone that was released from the WWE due to health issues.
