⭐️Kayhan: I gotta say, i really don’t like this type of booking. I know tk thinks he’s being very intricate and creative. but you can write a million notes within 4 bars of a song, and it may be the most genious thing in the world but no one’s gonna notice. there is nothing to focus on here. i think aew would do better keeping things a little simpler and focus the audience more on specific things. this was just a clusterf*ck of a bucha sh*t….
I’ll give some thoughts… Master P being there was cool but the fighting around him looked awful. although the moment he stared down Moxley looked nice… I really liked how Marina held Jon Moxley back from getting into it w/ the Young Bucks. puts her character over…. and i guess they teased some kinda dissection between Joe & Swerve who both want the world title, but that’s too convoluted and i’m not gonna worry about it, although there is a chance that could end up becoming a big deal…

⭐️Kayhan:
(A) Stokley. the orange jump suit! nooooo!!! what are those?!!!! oh noooooo!!! stokley! 😣😖 noooo!!! but really tho. this isn’t bad. but wasn’t stokely supposed to manage Taya Valkyrie & Deonna Purazzo?! i love when they just shift gears in wrestling with no explanation. really makes us all look so legitimate 🙄… also, the troll in the crowd during stokley’s promo was the star of the show🤣. this guy was on fire!!!! that really sucks for the promotion when the crowd is dead and you can hear one freakin lowlife in the audience talkin sh*t! so awesome…
(B) considering these two were recently friends, it made little sense that FTR would disrespect them so blatantly. i would have liked it better if they pretended to be nice and THEN beat their ass. 😆

⭐️Kayhan: This is the only thing really worth a damn in AEW. MJF said w/ him in the Hurt Syndicate they could rule the industry. theoretically that’s true. those 3 names and MVP could stand up to anyone in wrestling, but it’s aew 🙄. regardless. this is still the only hope for aew. if they got some long term plan to make these guys the top guys, that would be nice… loved this, and then some!
