Ah that does make sense then storyline wise. Hahaha with some severe squinting required maybe. Absolute nonsense I thought but it was very entertaining, and the scenes after the match were great too. Was Seth’s the worst run in of all time though?

I mean it wasn't totally unbelievable unlike the last surprise which felt forced.
Backing themselves into a corner for next year though.

It was all just pure cinema tbh. The main event reminded me of old shows where you’d end up with about 10 people in the ring just brawling
Favourite commentary moment was Cole censoring himself when Priest came out going “holy sh!” and McAfee just screamed “Shit!” down his headset

Night 2 was great. Made up for night 1, thats for sure
Usos match one of the worst WM matches (with a good build) i’ve seen in a long time. Its just funny Usos get so much respect and Bucks get so much hate when they have much better in-ring psychology and wrestling ability lol
Bayley/Iyo was the best match aswell btw, give them their flowers

I don’t watch AEW so I dunno what the criticisms of the Bucks are based on but a general wrestling gripe I have is how meaningless finishers are now. I’m ok with one or two being kicked out in a long match but when the Usos just threw super kicks at each other, we get about 5 spears a match from Roman, there were a fair few Claymores from McIntyre as well.
I remember Cena’s 5 moves of doom getting panned because it made finishes predictable but it’s a lot better than knowing a finisher is going to be kicked out of

Most criticism of both companies are bias tribalism. NXT funny enough (especially during the Black and Gold era) loved false finishes with finishers. Alot of main roster wrestlers in both companies come from the indies now, where false finishes are the new modern way. It works in big matches that are built up, but should never happen every week

Didnt realise just how much of the event Rollins carried too tbh. With HHH in charge he's definitely gonna get his go when he's healed up

Theres a reason he started to get booed in AEW. They’ve done well to keep his babyface persona hot, but he gonna have to do the Homelander gimmick or something within the next year or so

I think they’ll have to give it a few months to see if he can adapt into being a front running babyface and then if it’s not working, have him drop it to turn him heel or turn him heel. It’s hard to play the plucky underdog when you’re the reigning champion having just been fucking Roman Reigns
But please now that we’ve done all these title swaps during Mania no more year long plus title reigns or at least don’t have all your titles occupied by the same people concurrently

Tony Khan is a mark who needs to get offline and stop taking criticism to heart. But the company will be fine, they got enough talent to put on a great show next week and make their own fans forget. Wrestling fans are the most fickle bunch, shoutout to Danielson

As long as Khan is funding AEW they’re always a snarky call out away from him going nuclear and destroying his own company
Watching fan footage from Mania and Rollins getting in the ring during the main event you can tell he’s absolutely battered. The slowest ring entrance since every Roman entrance ever
