The only issue with MJF/Ospreay is that after watching them go 60 minutes, I have no desire to see a return match.
It's the Punk/MJF problem, where they went 40+ minutes on TV, only to return to it weeks later on PPV.
Otherwise I agree, the matches should be presented like the Continental Classic. More focused, more clear-cut divisions and watching guys either break out of a division or fall below. I just don't buy into the four world championship style presentation the company has currently got going.

I see Archer is back. Are we taking bets on how many weeks this lasts and he goes MIA again?

Gives me hope we might see a Joey Janela or Sonny Kiss appearance down the road for AEW.

A photo of a “secret” meeting between Tony and Shane McMahon surfaced this morning. It’s being met with the usual response. AEW-deniers think it’s a stupid move. AEW-fans think this is the game changer that will turn everything around. I’ll wait and see if it actually materializes into anything other than a meeting to say how I feel.

Most I seen thought it was a nothing story. Tony is a mark, Shane a McMahan. Of course he would want to chat with him.

Now that I've watched some more:
-Trim the roster down 1/3. That's more than enough for all their shows + ROH. Either that or do a soft split
-Make ROH feel distinct, not an AEW copy-paste shell of itself. A studio setting + rebrand would do wonders for it. It's Ring of Honor: darken some lights already, sheesh
-Ditch the Trios and put some love back into the tag team division

It's Ring of Honor: darken some lights already, sheesh -Ditch the Trios and put some love back into the tag team division I’m fine with the trios titles minus two stupid things they did/do: -they unified the Trios and Six Man titles with Bullet Club Gold, then instead of keeping it that way they just vacated the ROH six man titles when Jay White got hurt and went back to having two sets of trios belts. -they treat them like a throwaway title. We went from The Elite and Death Triangle having a Best of 7 to hot potatoing the belts with whichever stable was hot at the time. House of Black had their house rules matches that fans loved, but they did like 3 of those title defences then lost. The titles were an afterthought until BCG won them then they fucked that up too. They should have retired the ROH Six Man titles and absorbed that lineage into the AEW titles and used them as a tool for the 500 under carders they have to feud over. What is the point of putting Top Flight & Action Andretti or CMLL guys or Varsity Athletes or Dark Order or or or or.. on TV every week and not have them doing everything they can to get those belts? No make them a prop for Christian Cage to lose for some reason. What?

I believe the woman said, she doesn't watch AEW but will tune in for his highlights. He's the silly boy for getting emotional about it. News flash, no one watched his matches in WWE either...

Why in the fuck are you defending Ricochet? That fan didn’t shit on him in the least and he threw a hissy fit.

WWE’s ability to manage their wrestlers social media behaviour should be studied. This guy has been there 48 hours and he’s already tweeting like BenoitMark.
It honestly destroys my suspension of disbelief with these guys. How am I supposed to believe you can kick out of a top rope fuckinator when you’re getting rattled by a random on Twitter.

My favorite one is where a fan says they love Ricochet but don’t watch AEW so now they’re going to go out of their way to watch highlights of him from AEW and he gets silly about it.

She didn't watch AEW, but was a fan of Ricochet's and said she'd watch his highlights. He took offence to that. She's probably not a fan anymore either. Based on the picture assuming she, why would she watch AEW when they don't care about female viewers anyway since they only care about the key demo. Assuming Ricochet would get more time and perks if his segments did a ratings pop so he wants his fans to help him do that and not just watch highlights that does nothing for him.
