  1. Adam Copeland’s music hits and he comes out to apparently save Christian Cage from a “Con-Chair-To” but before he does, he runs over to the one side of the stage to pose for the crowd. Why?

    I have to give AEW props. I watched the main event on YouTube and thought it was pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. What bothered me was the Dynamite after All In. Mox had his head bandaged, but Page came out and other than limping, he didn’t really look bad. At least his face didn’t look like he stomped face first and paradigm shifted face first onto a bed of nails a few days ago.

  3. @Joseph
    Not great, you say? Five and a half stars. Or five and two quarters. Or 22 quarter-stars, however you want to slice it. That’s all that matters, not people like you and your “pretty good”…

    No argument from me though, because Tony lost me as a fan a long time ago. AEW just plays in the corner of my screen now as I do something else. PPV, TV, doesn’t matter, I don’t see the difference. Outside of a very few people that still haven’t let themselves be destroyed, I don’t even care enough to pay attention for the stupid crap anymore.

    But I look at Page and I see butterflies. A cowboy on a My Little Pony. And that’s not gonna change.
