That means he knows what he's doing.
He's polished & he has his promo timing down to a science.
He also has more than one gear when it comes to mic skills.
All of those years of practice plus his natural charisma will let Edge run circles around Miss Kenny & MJF.
Yeah but content is still king.

Unless your Jay White then you can just go on for two minutes saying all your catchphrases and somehow it works :russ:

Keeping them is a different story, like SRS said some of the younger cats want to experience that Wrestlemania feeling.

There's a lot of talent on the rosters though that have already done WrestleMania and all that. As long as Tony is throwing around his play money it seems like AEW can be in the running for most talent not named Cena or Roman.

And wrestlers would be fools to not test free agency at this point.

My late as shyt, pirated thoughts:

-Opener was cool. Gotta handed it to MJF, dude knows how to get very simple shyt over. He has a dropkick, a double clothesline and now a bodyslam as new "signature" spots the crowd will react to. Love how he found a way to take advantage over the fact that AEW's fanbase has seen every move on the planet at this point, so why not just have fun with the most basic ones? :ehh:

-Eddie vs Shibata was dope as fukk. An 8-10 minute is perfect for a back and forth strike fest with some good submissions sprinkled in. Favorite part of the match was Shibata being in control and Eddie desperately trying to hit a backdrop driver to get a breather. Those 2 minutes or so were the kind of shyt I fukking love in wrestling.

-Only skimmed through the TBS title match. Agreed with whoever said Julia's moonsault looks like it's gonna destroy her knees in record time. Bummer that Statlander retained.

-Skipped the tag match. Young Bucks gonna win the tag belts in L.A in Full Gear, bleh. I do wonder if there's gonna be a big stipulation attached to it.

-Swerve vs Hangman. I was legit frustrated at how Page refused to actually work the hand and just attack it as a desperation or reset move. But then Swerve fukk Hangmayne's arm up, worked on it like you are supposed to and Ioved the contrast between both aproaches. I'll let the Nana stuff slide (lmao at that not being a DQ) because Swerve won and he 100% had to get this W. If Ricky is not the one to dethrone MJF, then Swerve should, that man is fukking ready for a title run.

-Skipped most of Ricky vs Yuta, obvious and necessary win for Starks.

-Danielson vs Sabre was also dope as hell. Would've loved to see even more mat based exchanges but I understand why they took it to more strikes for the second half of the match. Nigel is the best heel hater commentator since Bobby Heenan, the way he was having a damn orgasm when ZSJ was hurting Dragon's right arm had me in stitches, I know he's praying to every available deity that Bryan is healthy for All In so they can have their last match in Wembley. Loved how they protected Zack by making Danielson win with the knee and Sabre being the more skillful mat wrestler in the end.

-Skimmed through the 6 man. Holy fukk at some of the bumps those guys were taking, saw Kenny fukk his head or neck up like three times. This got me wanting a Takeshyta/Ospreay tag team, just imagine all the insane shyt those two could do.

-I'll watch the tag match tomorrow, is too damn late and I wont put the attention this deserves.

-After such a long show, I gotta salute both Christian and Darby for making the maint event feel fresh and worthy of that spot. It's impossible to describe the level of crazy Darby is with these bumps, I hope he gets a raise soon. Christian is fukking awesome. Lost my shyt at him asking Edge "what do you want? :martin:" after that debut :russ: :russ:
