You know you hit a homerun when even Cornette has nothing bad to say about it. It has three times as many views too. Maybe he could just be entertaining and informative without the other bullshit and be more popular? The other bullshit is who he is though.

Here's what WWE employee Booker T had to say about CM Punk's debut. To the surprise of no one, it's a horrible take. “CM Punk came back and took his moment and chose to talk about WWE. That right there was just a total miss as far as I’m concerned, he struck out.” Punk never mentioned WWE by name. He said the date he left ROH (who he did mention) was the date he left PRO WRESTLING. The night he came to AEW was the night he returned.
I should point out, in Booker's debut promo in TNA in 2007, took him literally 30 seconds to talk about WWE.

I think Booker is too smart to really believe that. Like you said, it just sounds like he's being a good WWE soldier.
As Peeps pointed out: if even Jim Cornette was impressed, you know it was a winner.

Lucha Bros vs Jurassic Express was fucking on fire! Giannis was losing his shit ringside.
Excellent match, check it out.

Miro just unmasked Fuego and that led to a brawl with Kingston.
Really hope it's not on All Out. You have that be a high profile match on Dynamite and build it for more than a week and a half. It'll get buried on the All Out card.

Bunny vs Tay was fine. Conti has her 15 match win streak snapped because Penelope appears to have joined the Hardy Family Offices.
There's like 47 members of the Hardy faction. It's way too fucking much. Hardy, Private Party, Butcher, Blade, Evans, Angelico, Bunny, Penelope and I think Jora Johl for a minute there, but they haven't done anything with him for a few weeks. He was like the HFO in training, but he's gone missing.

Jericho is playing heel commentator tonight, which is weird.
4 commentators is still too much for a 1 hour show (or any show)

Why? I don't want Miro losing his first match by DQ or countout. I want Eddie to win this, but less than 2 weeks to build it?
I'm the AEW defender here, but I disagree with this one.

Main Event was fine. Brandon Cutler as comedy fodder is hilarious, but I wouldn't have done it on your 3rd episode of Rampage. Though Kenny bailing on him like a chicken shit heel makes sense.
I prefer Cutler over Nakazawa if I'm being honest.
Opener was hot, but rest of the show was just there. Still an insanely easy 1 hour watch.

Here's the full Giannis appearance. You Bucks fans almost lost your golden boy when he was getting out of the ring and sort of slipped on the apron.
I love squeaky excited voice Tony when he gets hyped.

722,000 for last week.
Not bad considering the weak card. If they pull that number weekly for Friday’s at 9, that’s decent

Black vs Big Shotty was solid. Black checks another off the Nightmare Family list
Dustin is next on Wednesday.
Kingston and Miro promo is really good right now. Eddie knows Miro’s weakness, his neck.
“Miro, redeemer, redeem deez nuts!” Haha

Britt getting Kevin Nash WCW leave pyro for a match she isn’t even in is so incredibly perfect.

Wheeler Yuta is the Sarah Chalke to Trent’s Lecy Goranson
Yuta gets the job done and is solid in his role, but you miss Trent, the OG Becky

Crowd was dead for almost all that. Not a good go home segment for Britt & Stat
That slam/electric chair got a pop for Statlander though

We’re already to the main event. This show is so watchable, even if one segment doesn’t really click.
1 hour is perfect for a show like this.

Punk lost all his leaping ability, haha. That leap was scary bad haha
And who was the doofus fan who offered Punk a drink? Haha Punk politely declining while in a sea of fans was hysterical

Really strong go home segment. Happy they used this final show to build Kingston vs Miro more and closed with Punk.
Also they built a match for Dynamite as well.
Solid watch. I’m amped for Sunday. Have a blast fellas.

Think about everyone that benefited from the Pillman Family being front row.

I’ll watch it tonight but read what happened
Andrade and Chavo are already done. It’s almost like they have someone better lined up for Andrade WOOOO
But seriously Andrade has had 2 matches in AEW and has gone through 2 Guerreros.
