Sometimes I wonder, "Would it kill them to not put all the Black/Latino people in one faction?"

Opening night of NBA Kamala town hall less than 2 weeks before election No Outrunners The three big blows to Dynamite last night All those wrestling fans tuning in to listen to Kamala’s town hall! Haha If I hadn’t been recapping, being so close to the election I would’ve turned back and forth at times. |

I think it honestly might, yes. It's not an AEW or WWE problem either. It's a wrestling business problem. Watch any AWA or Crockett card from the 80s or ECW card from the 90s. If there's more than one black or Hispanic person on the show, they are either fighting against each other or in a team. For some reason, when I bring this up in the real world (to black people and non-black people) I'm either met with, "Dude stop overthinking everything.", or "Hmmm, I never noticed that." Seriously, am I crazy? |

Yeah, you're probably right. It's just that I presumed AEW to be a more forward-thinking company, so it's disappointing when they fall into some of the same wrestling tropes of their predecessors.

Haha They are undecided, watched Taker's podcast, and wanted to get the counter argument from Kamala. How dare you! AEW can only do so much!!! |

You’re in the minority though. You consume a ton of media and pop culture - More than anyone I know. I’m going to make a guess that the average AEW fan isn’t torn between watching Dynamite live vs watching Kamala live. |

Seriously, am I crazy? I’m 100% onboard with you. I’d like to see the Hurt Syndicate cover multiple races. Give me four guys and let’s slow build this thing, starting away from Mox & Crew for months. At some point in a title match with a major babyface like Darby, you have Mox win and bloody him to near death until Hurt Syndicate comes out and decides enough is enough. I’d probably be the only one that’d be all in on that. Need to think about my 4 in the group. |

If you want to get really deep with it, wrestling companies always say they portray what's going on in real life.

Hobbs needs to be involved in this, but as a babyface with Swerve. If he’s with Lashley & Shelton, he’ll be a sidekick.
So far MVP has given business cards to The Acclaimed, Lio, Ricochet, Mercedes & Swerve
Would love a curveball and he gives one to RJ City

Yeah this ain't the early 2000s anymore with every group having representation in nearly all walks of life. Everyone pretty much finds their tribe of like peoples and they stick together. It's unfortunate, but that's life I guess. |

Show was really fun (I was surprised, as I thought it was going to suck). Joe was a highlight. He’s a main cast character as Sweet Tooth. He did great.
Anthony Mackie & Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine are the stars

Yeah Twisted Metal was awesome.
It knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to be more.

Swerve’s return match since All Out
Cole’s first match in over a year
Kamille needs a bounce back after the poor outing last week
I expect Private Party to win the titles tonight, but I don’t think they should. Not just because it should be The Outrunners, but because why wouldn’t you have a title switch when you aren’t head to head with the World Series?
I know you don’t book for that kind of stuff and they’ve been booking this for a while, but I think they’ll get slaughtered tonight.

Why is your champion not advertised for your flagship show every week? Where is Ospreay, Switchblade, MJF, FTR? These are your stars that draw - put them on your flagship show every week!! This is the problem with shiny object booking, no consistency and your drawing stars aren't on every week.

Moxley has been advertised/been on every week since WrestleDream but this one (Orange will be addressing him).
Switchblade has been on every week and I assume tonight furthers the feud with the Hangman promo (the match is official for Full Gear already).
Ospreay is selling the effects of the Tiger Driver, as Fletcher said if he shows up, he’ll end him forever. Though they haven’t shown a graphic for Fletcher tonight (he’s advertised for Saturday), so they need to if he is.
MJF won’t be on TV in person until the PPV due to the Happy Gilmore 2 shooting schedule.
FTR have been pretty much exclusively on Collision. I agree they should be on both shows more.
