Ricochet vs Ospreay in a couple of weeks already? Very confused that they aren't waiting to do this on PPV, make people pay for it. Ricochet is pretty much done after that anyway, that was the entire reason he was brought over, so they could run the Ospreay rematch.

echoes my thoughts. But if Ricochet joins the Callis Family and they do a rematch at the PPV (or at a later point), that could work?

Mariah probably shouldn't wish for "murder Yuka" next week. bad things happen...

If only there was a plethora of other talent on the roster that he could potentially wrestle...

Genuinely stupid comment that.

And they've stacked the card on every milestone episode they've hit, so you'd probably be less surprised/confused if you watched more often, possibly even have full clarity if you watched even just the once.

No I get they stack their milestone shows, I disagree with it though, I think it's lazy booking, that's a match to sell a PPV to the fanbase.

Yes he literally can have other feuds, but this was the sole reason Ricochet was brought in, this was the big deal, running back Ricochet vs Ospreay, nothing they do with him after will eclipse that now, they're blowing their load too early on it when they can get a really good build out of it if they're smart enough.

I think the tv deal negotiations are an important piece of context to consider.

I know that AEW has always had a tendency to put big matches on it's "feature Dynamites", but I can't fathom that you wouldn't make me pay for Danielson vs McGuiness if not for tv negotiations. (There's still the chance it's bait & switch I guess)

We thought the same when they announced Ospreay vs MJF, and we got a great TV match AND a great PPV match out of it.

Good opener with Cassidy and Jericho, reckon Cassidy should have ripped the stick of quarters out of Jericho's hand instead of Jericho throwing them in the air, with Cassidy catching it.

If Yuka Sakazaki gets booked in the US continuously without disappearing I reckon the "ayayayay" stuff could get over. I can picture the crowd chanting that.

Mox hitting Isiah Kassidy's hand with the hammer was brutal.

Liked the Hangman/Jarrett pull apart seg, who would have thought Jarrett could pull off being a good babyface.

Ricochet vs Mortos probs my fav match of the night.

YEARS of practice in Memphis in the territory days (pre-WWF) with Lawler will teach that.

EDIT: also booking himself in NWA:TNA.

don't mess with The Ace.

Her promos have improved immensely. Give me more serious bad ass Shida please.

let's have a Shida/Mina/Yuka power trio.

Nah keep Shida away from the goofy comedy. Just have her as a bad ass tearing through the roster.

All of this, and not even a mention of the ME which I thought was a great match too. Really can't wait for the Okada/Takeshita (hopefully) series of matches.

Bucks vs Ospreay/Fletcher should be an absolute banger too

He was over in WCW as a face as part of the 4 Horsemen in his 1st run.

Miro requesting his release according to Fightful.

He doesn't offer anything really, so fair enough.

A major disappointment.

Hard to rank, but must be in the group of disappointments/overpaid with Jeff Hardy, Saraya, Andrade, Mark Henry and Big Show.

Only Andrade out of that lot ever had any promise.

Miro was fun for a little while but he won't exactly be missed considering how rarely we ever saw him.
