He had a great organic story with BTE and growing into his own and having some huge matchups that showed some natural progression moving up the card in NJPW/ROH, like his G1 where he didn't win a ton of matches, but got a win against Suzuki (I think) and had a few big singles matches. Bayley had her whole underdog finally overcoming the odds with the crowd organically behind her in NXT. When she got to the main roster, they couldn't really retread that same story, but then there were a bunch of people not familiar with that whole story so she was just kind of there. Page has the same thing going on, in that he was positioned during the launch as a potential big deal, but he doesn't yet have that presence or renown to just have that be "true" like Omega or Cody or the Bucks. So it didn't ring quite true. In a few months or so, once they've had some more people established and gotten the wrinkles ironed out of their show, I think they can get him some big wins and a couple of major feuds and he'll be able to move back up like they tried at the start. |

OT because it doesn't deserve me finding the thread to bump in Entertainment. I was really let down by the season 2 finale of Castle Rock. It was so good up until today's ep. |

Hate this Brandi angle.
It was funny what they did to answer WWE's accidental Baker camera encounter but that was meh |

Dark Order now vs four weeks ago is night and day. The Brandi stuff is a little poorly timed alongside what they're doing, but I'm willing to give it a chance to breathe and grow. They've done a lot of paying off subtle things over the longer term and have earned the benefit of the doubt from me. If it were WWE, I'd just assume it would stop in two weeks and never come back up again. I think there was an interesting nugget in the promo last week that they do the dirty work that the rest of the Nightmare Family doesn't want to be associated with. I'm not sure how they expand on that, but that good definitely be a differntiator. |

Luke Perry's ghost would come down and save his son to give him the edge to become the boy of the jungle

Lucha could have tamed the ghost of Luke Perry to tame JB and Marko

Luchasaurus vs. Sammy was good.
The post-match stuff was great. |

This show hasn't had the one big overarching angle/theme like I've been harping on, but it has felt like there are feuds and angles and character drama and shit happening again which is GREAT.

It's cool that Jericho comes up and/or okays this stuff.
Imagine Hogan if he had to get a fake pin from Jungle Boy |

Hikaru Shida #1 in the rankings.
Kris Statlander and Britt Baker have a match for the #1 contendership. Uhhhhhhhhhh wat. I can understand Statlander since she beat Shida but Baker hasn't done shit for weeks. |

The match and ad graphics AEW uses for their shows is way better and livelier than the bland and generic show branding ones WWE uses.
RAW, Smackdown, and NXT uses the same design for all their graphics with the only difference being the background colors and brand logo. |
