I kinda of wish the show was two hours but regardless I'm looking forward to it. Just want to point out that just after the Feugo Del Sol vs Miro TNT Championship match was announced on Dynamite that they had Dark/Elevation results in a scroll at the bottom of the screen which said that Feugo Del Sol had lost his match that week. So the guy loses a match on the job show and then gets a TNT Championship match on the debut of the new major show? Stupid, why isn't Miro facing someone that anyone gives a shit about?

Should make a weekly Friday wrestling mega thread. Smackdown into Rampage. They’re not enemies, they’re symbiotic.

I could honestly see them saving him for Danielson. Don’t know if or how much they mixed it up in WWE, and that’s a big time program for a belt they obvs present as close to equal to their World title. I’m A ok seeing Miro feast on a jobber. |

Sure AEW has done a decent job of rehabilitating Miro and have allowed him to channel his inner Bolo Yeung at times, but still he's not being used to his maximum potential. His feud with Best Friends is the most notable thing that he's done in AEW and that's why he should probably be wrestling Orange Cassidy tonight or even Chuck Taylor or Wheeler Yuta. Now, maybe they've had a blow off for that feud but honestly I don't remember if they did and if they did it probably wasn't that memorable because I don't remember. I think it's time to make some actual stars that can pop a rating when AEW has to go head to head with The Challenge and in my opinion putting Miro over tiny little flip floppers is just telling us something we already know and can see by looking at the man, he's a beast. Why not have him working a program with someone who is actually exceptional in the ring? One of my issues with AEW is that in protecting certain guys they are having to pull their punches on a lot of TV matches and give us "highly contested squash matches". Let's not pretend that Feugo has any business in the ring with Miro. Miro has a multitude of guys he can work great programs with from Darby, Death Triangle, Kingston, Archer, OC, Andrade, Cody and more. Let's get some good shit moving for Miro, I feel like we've been pulling punches the whole time TONY (if you're reading). |

It’s a one hour show, they have two other matches booked, and they don’t Miro to go out there and have a barn burner to get him over our showcase him. That’s all this match is. Just a showcase for Miro. I agree the pairing with Sabian was the shits and the payoff to that was the arcade match thankfully.
I would be floored if they weren’t preparing a bigger match for Miro at the PPV. Having a showcase match to destroy people is a formula that got him over the first time in WWE and it’s getting him over now. He doesn’t need a big match every time out. It’s ok to feed popular jobbers to him while you save the big matches for bigger shows that aren’t already headlines or a PPV. |

I will watch Miro squashes all day everyday. Also, we are not making anywhere near a big enough deal that Miro is cutting one of the best promos in the business in his second fucking language. Put Miro on my screen and I’m watching. Period.

Let’s also not forget how shredded he’s looking. Had a bruiser type of body when he debuted and now he looks like a star and wrestled like one. Ever since they moved him away from Sabian he’s been booked perfectly.

Opening with the title match. Normally I hate when the main event goes on first but this being the first Rampage means I'll allow it. Great way to start a new series.

Don't like Taz on commentary tbh... sensing Mark Henry will be pretty bad... should just be Excalibur and Jericho

With four announcers there's always someone trying to speak at every single point. Part of being a good announcer is letting certain moments speak for themselves
They're treating it as if they're on the radio and are desperate to avoid any dead air. |
