He's just signing guys he's a fan of it seems. Not whether or not they do anything for his brand. Sammy needs to be working with people better than him. The Lethal match should've lead to a feud.Why did TK sign Nese? Dude ain’t bad in the ring, but he’s not needed on the roster.
[11/26] AEW Rampage: Fight Eddie Kingston for a cheap TV on Black Friday
This is why they need that Trios division like a hole in the head. Too many sideliners and not enough work. They could also make a Dark title like DDT did where the wrestler had to win to get the damn belt off of them

Other Rampage thoughts:
-The opening tag was fine, though it seemed like no one thought OC and Yuta were winning (probably because Yuta has such potent jobber energy right now). I think OC and Yuta have real potential as a tag team and would be interested in seeing them explore that.
-...Tony Nese SUCKS, man. Why does this guy keep getting shots on TV? My stomach actually dropped a little when he mentioned the TNT Title in his promo, even when I know they're not going to have him beat Sammy (Sammy out-talked him here, by the way). He might be the least charismatic man in wrestling, as well. At least the match will probably be fine.
-To this day, I have no idea how Riho is as over as she is.
-Guess Hayter's gonna turn on Britt pretty soon...
-I still can't believe in Riho's offense. Sometimes she'll really lay it in and make it look like she's hurting her opponent, but for the most part it's still kinda unconvincing to me.
-With that said, the match was actually pretty good, because Riho is a pretty good wrestler. Britt was fine, I suppose.
-Can you say a dude's "light in the ass" on TV in 2021? That shyt slayed me.
-I hate this dude Daniel Garcia so much, and not in the good way either. Every move of his makes me feel like he's acting like a shooter instead of being a shooter. Really irritating, still don't totally get the hype with this guy.
-The Daniel Garcia Dilemma in a nutshell: He actually has this awesome sequence of brutal leg locks and genuinely convincing violence late in the match where he actually starts to look like a great wrestler...and then he ruins it by making stupid faces and sticking his tongue out to the crowd. Dude would be great if he stopped being so dramatic all the time.
-Eddie Kingston is a great wrestler who had a great match. Who knew?
Solid episode, but completely insubstantial. It's shows like this that make me think that they have to do something with the Rampage format, because this just isn't something you HAVE to see on Friday nights.

Probably because he's in with the roster's Northeastern contingent (MJF, The Acclaimed, Statlander, Reynolds/Silver, Trent, etc.).

Your honor, I was merely capping.
I'm not gon lie I never want to see an Orange Cassidy match ever again 
Just caught up on Rampage. Rebel got a big ole monkey.
I've felt for a while now that rampage needs to be filmed live from that Universal studio that AEW films Dark or Elevation at.Other Rampage thoughts:

Make it the home base of Rampage so that way you won't have these types of taped nothing happening shows that people will mostly either DVR or skip completely after reading the spoilers because every show will be live.

Haven't read the thread, but I bet most of TSC hated the OC match 
Another whole sequence out of him trying to put his hands in his pockets.
Fish actually won and wasn't abandoned this time. That's a curveball.
Tony Nese... meh.
FTR bringing lucha things to their next match. Too bad their chemistry with Lucha Bros isn't that good.
Good little match between Riho and DMD. The deadly roll strikes again.
Cody's gonna get relentlessly booed at his home state
Hopefully that will advance whatever he's trying to do.
Another entertaining match by Kingston. 2point0 are disrespecting fukks and deserve every incoming beating.
Jericho temporarily taking Mox's place makes sense
Bloated drunk man replaced by an older bloated drunk man

I think they are going all in on the angle of Cole bringing people loyal to him into the Super Kliq which means Khan has plans on signing O'Reilly and Gargano when their contracts are up.

I kinda liked the opening tag match and the main event

I don't hate Orange Cassidy, but the corny/goofy sh!t went on too long during this match. We gotta be honest.
Rampage ratings were lowest since it started

What a terrible business decision to let your favoritism sign bums the regular fan doesn’t give a shyt about.

I've only watched Rampage at it's actual time slot once in the last 2 months. That's mostly just because I forget. I watch my Smackdown, and then go do something else. I just forgot to go to the TNT app. I usually watch Rampage the next day.
I listen to the Cornette podcast, probably every episode over the last year. He would argue that if people tuned into that first match, they were going to switch the channel real fast. Based off the first match, I can't argue against it.
