Towel throw spot was a pretty interesting finish. Cage doesn't suffer a pinfall nor tap out loss and Taz showed that he actually cares for Cage's well-being unlike most managers.
AEW title match was pretty good overall. Fight for the Fallen was very enjoyable overall. Only real sour point was the mic problem Jericho had during his promo and all that wasted beer and orange juice. |

AEW now has the "@AEW" Twitter name
https://twitter.com/aew But it's a separate account for some reason instead of just renaming @AEWrestling |

Meanwhile Taz never considered that to be a real issue and it came back to bite him in the end. Taz throwing the towel was either him actually caring about Cage's well-being or simply saving some face after all that trash talk he did. Had Cage actually tapped, it would have made Taz look even worse after everything he said about Moxley. |

OMG! Someone lied to try (and/or wants) to protect their investment... or, in a "real" athletic event, 100% healthy doesn't mean they aren't more easily susceptible to re-injury or simply capable of being reinjured.

It’s a tough conundrum. How do you book your champion to retain while still keeping your hot new signee looking strong?
Here’s an idea. Don’t book your hot new signee against your fucking champion. |

Agree on not booking Moxley vs. Cage would have solved that dilemma but doing a towel throw finish is the least worst option available if you needed Cage to lose but didn't want him to actually eat a pin or tap out.
They already made it clear they don't do DQ or No Contest finishes so that gets rid of that lazy booking option. That makes it possible to use that finish in the future for something truly major which this match wasn't. WWE poisoning the well with submission finishes over the past 15+ years is why the idea of Cage tapping would have had any negative association attached to it. |

To clarify, you can totally do that, and show vulnerability to a wrestler to add more depth to the storyline, but only if it makes sense to do so.
Leaning super hard into the baddest mother fucker on the planet angle, and then pulling that shit just makes everyone involved look stupid. Imean this guy is the baddest mother fucker on the planet, with the baddest mother fucking manager on the planet, who gave him the baddest mother fucking belt on the planet, but he's going to throw in the towel to protect his investment. That's a fucking disconnect right there. |

SUCH GOOD SHIT!
* Opening the match with Sonny Kiss and Cody is smart. Get the LGBT crowd that is sure to be following Sonny Kiss on-board QUICK! They aren't already wrestling fans, so you need to make that impression out the gate. Yeah, the match wasn't great, but you can't blame Sonny and Cody for that. There are only so many gay athletes out there, so to find a good one must be pretty hard, even in 2020. Onwards and upwards, boys! * OMG! FTR vs. Lucha Bros is a DREAM MATCH! I mean, I've only known of the Lucha Bros for about a year and FTR's new name is new to me, but omg, this is the best tag team scene in the world. Can you name another division outside of Japan specifically in this millennium not count the WWE right now that has better tag teams? A classic clash of styles. And you just know that they are building up to a Masks vs. Title or Careers match in the future between these teams in the future that they definitely won't forget about. * I read someone saying that the truck stuff with FTR is silly. HELLO! They need PERSONALITIES! They are truck drivers that love trucks. How can you be so dense? This is going to help them appeal to the thousands of truckers across the US and lots of southern people. They'll be bringing in the gay people with Sonny Kiss and the southerns with FTR. It's SMART. And it sticks it to McMahon and his yes man cronies who said that The Revival never had any PERSONALITY. Well, they're OOZING it in AEW! * HAHAHA! Jericho is so funny! Him riling up the NERDS on the internet who care about ratings is BRILLIANT! Someone said to me that it was stupid to bring up them losing in viewership on the show and they look insecure, but I fired back and told them that they are obviously secure enough to bring it up on the air. They look cool as hell because they don't care if they're popular or not. And then the ORANGE JUICE falling on Jericho. Hahahahahahahahaha! I've never seen that before in wrestling! Chalk one up for originality on that one! Get it?! ORANGE Cassidy?! Orange JUICE! You won't see Jericho having a jacket get wrecked on STUPID McMahon television. * Hahaha! As funny as that was, Marko Stunt making fun of it being silly was hilarious too! Jokes on top of jokes! You can't write this stuff because there are no FAKE writers in this company. Marko Stunt should have a gimmick where he makes fun of everyone. It will be amazing because he is so short, haha. Short man = big balls. That should be his t-shirt. * Man, Marko Stunt can wrestle. What a fantastic six-man tag team match. Everybody got a chance. It's 2020 and everybody should be treated equal, especially in a wrestling ring. This isn't MMA or boxing or old-school rasslin'. It doesn't need to make sense if it makes cents, people. Omega looked amazing after having beer poured over him. Adam Page sharing booze with the enemy is sure to further along that story. You won't see alcohol involved in a STUPID McMahon storyline. * I skipped ahead at this point. Not because the show wasn't good, but I just figured that the excitement might be bad for my heart. Thank you AEW for giving me a show so good I cannot watch it all in one sitting without dying from entertainment. * Vickie Guerrero is back though! So great to see a legend return to our television screens. Especially after STUPID Vince McMahon let her go after only nine years of employment. * Holy shit, what an amazing match between Cage and Mox. I absolutely LOVED the ending. So smart to have Taz so off his sweet, caring side by throwing in the towel for his friend, Cage. It's nice to know there is a sensitive side to Taz. I like this sort of storyline depth. You won't get that in STUPID WWE. Moxley has beaten another giant, which makes him look unstoppable which is good for him. Cage showed so much heart in defeat, and now that he knows his manager loves him, maybe there is a face turn coming for them? DEVELOPMENT. It's something that STUPID McMahon doesn't get. Overall, I think this was one of the best episodes of wrestling television I have ever seen in my entire life. I curse the MORON who came up with the 10-point scale, because this show deserves a 14/10. Simply genius start to finish. You had big matches, big returns, beer being poured on people, juice being poured on people and hilarity ensued. How could anyone not like this product? |

Cody vs Sonny Kiss wasn't amazing but it was enjoyable.
More importantly it did a good job of presenting Sonny as a threat. More of this from him, please. Lose the handxpring to the corner though. Muta is the only person who's made that work, and Sonny's version isn't changing that. FTR vs Lucha Bros. was great outside of the botch at the beginning. Fantastic finish. |
