I felt bad. It was 3 posts in a row of things I didn't like.

It looks worse because I’m not here to offset the negative posts with the positive ones, haha

random(one) thoughts:
Well at least Tay will be off of TV for quite awhile.
Thankful it was Stat and not Taya.
AEW Champions picture is looking awfully white
Hoping my dream of either Sting or Orange vs MJF at Wembley comes true. Please don't do Cole vs MJF.

I like Orange/MJF at Wembley. Orange wins and chooses the International Title in a "whatever" moment and MJF scurries away with the the AEW title to keep it.

Looking back, I think this PPV was vastly underrated.
Pillars was awesome. So was Anarchy. Jade/Taya/Stat was cool. Wardlow spot was fucking unreal.
Hardys sucked though.

Starting to think a new Horsemen of Ricky Starks, FTR & Wardlow might be something I'd be interested in.

Upon further review, what exactly didn't we like about this card? Other than the hardys Buy In stuff of course.

The women's matches weren't good. I know circumstances dictated Hayter-Storm being short, but they didn't have to rush Statlander beating Jade. It felt like an afterthought.
Hardys sucked.
The Jericho-Cole deal wasn't really that good.
The Young Bucks not dying was less than ideal.

Biggest complaint about the pre-show match was how long it went. It went 15 minutes, that’s way too long, especially considering Matt & Jeff at this point in their careers. We don’t need long heat segments for them. It should’ve been 7 minutes and got the crowd fired up.
I totally understand why they did what they did with Statlander. The pop was massive and you could say she wouldn’t be this hot if they built it a few weeks for TV, on the other hand maybe she could’ve? I just know the track record of Jade’s reign would say the former. So I’m fine with it.
Toni & Hayter, yeah, their hands were tied. I’m just glad there wasn’t another relinquishing of a title or some Interim stuff again. Hayter can win it back down the line.
I wasn’t a fan of the Trios Tag going 15 minutes and what felt like the House getting heat on Bowens for about 12 of those minutes. Way too long.
Cole & Jericho felt like it couldn’t be a blood feud finish since nearly everyone bled in the main event and the finish fell flat as a result
Rest of the show I really enjoyed. Battle Royal I thought was one of the best they’ve done, Tag Titles were entertainingly overbooked, two main events were phenomenal.

Cole/Jericho should be lower.
Trios match should be higher.
Battle Royal should be lower.
Anarchy should be lower.
Pillars should be higher.
Other than that, Dave is right on the money.

I think back to some really good matches back in wcw/wwe heyday and Dave throws out a 2.5 because he doesn’t like the style of the match. He is just so infatuated with AEW that nearly every rating gets a .75 to 1.5 bump up. Ric Flair vs Steamboat = Anarchy match! 😂🤣😂
