Aja Kong can't really go like she used to, but man it's still brutal to watch some of her moves. That piledriver is still insane.

Same here. Gonna be interesting who gets the chance from Japan, since 3/4 are already associated with AEW.

Private Party recently teased the idea of them potentially showing up in Ring of Honor in the near future after their run in Impact.

I'm finally watching the Japanese bracket. I get this feeling I'm gonna end up on some kind of list as a result. I'm gonna do some shit thoughts. In essence, you won't get actual names, I will use first impression names for most of them. What's a first impression name? "Steampunk Jimmy Garvin" is a first impression name for Cameron Grimes. Basically, what I call them based on my first impression of them.
*Hippie Yuna vs. Happy Fairy Lady was pretty good. I have no complaints. Happy Fairy Lady's skirt wouldn't stay down, but that kind of thing happens, I guess. Hippie Yuna won with a 450 off the middle of the top rope. *Emi vs Veni was really good. I have watched some Ice Ribbon (maybe I was already on that list), so I know of Emi there. Veni could be AEW Women's Champion. Take that for what it's worth. But they are very impressive. A really good match, like I said. Emi with the win, as she is the veteran. *Maki Ito vs. the Daughter of Okada and Aja Kong. Daughter looks like she could whip at least Marko Stunt in a fight. Maki had a decent little choreographed entrance. She'll get an AEW contract for three reasons: 1. she has the look Omega likes. 2. she pissed off Cornette. 3. Her knowledge of English rivals my knowledge of French. That match went too long and it was stupid. Daughter should have just wrecked her in 3 minutes. Ito doesn't have enough size to her to make her holds look believable. And I am horrified by the knowledge that, if this shit was live and not pre-taped, Ito would have went over. *Aja Kong vs Thic Generic Joshi. Aja is Aja. I really can't say much else. Her opponent looks like she could be a full grown women's wrestler, but her face and her gear ages her down. Aja looks great, but she's been around forever. This match looked a bit like Heath Slater vs Vader, if they actually gave Heath some offense. Kong won, as she should have. TGJ was decent, but probably shouldn't have kicked out of the Backdrop Driver. That would have been a better finish than the Elbow. |

Something I noticed but forgot to comment on.
During Aja Kong's entrance, you can see Shida in the background. After the match, Kong points at her and does the title belt gesture. NONE OF THIS was mentioned by Excaliber. No reference to Shida being there at all. You would think that Excaliber could have taken a few seconds away from jerking off over Maki Ito or calling a Flying Reacharound to say "AEW Women's Champion Hiraku Shida is in attendance, scouting who could possibly be her next opponent." Maybe during a lull in the action, cut away briefly to Shida watching the action in the ring. But nope. |

Good point. I thought Excalibur called a great show from an in-ring standpoint but I didn't even notice Shida was there doing Japanese commentary which they also released on their YouTube channel. Not mentioning her there is a miss on his part.
Interesting that they'd fly her back to Japan just for that given she has to quarantine 2 weeks on each end of the trip (well, on the Japan side at least...lol at the US ever forcing a mandatory quarantine). I'm thinking she may have worked a bonus match or two over there while she was at it. |

The lack of Shida recognition by Excaliur was a bit odd since AEW did mention beforehand she would be there to help call the action for Japanese commentary.
Either he was told to only call the action or someone goofed up with the production work and she wasn't supposed to be seen which would make the Aja Kong post-match stuff even odder if so. Quote:

Cutler is the jobber with the "coolest" gear. I guess it's cool, I think it looks ridiculous but whatever, I guess it fits within the realm of superhero costumes that are in trend right now.

I'm confused about the exploding death match. Partly excited. Partly worried that this is a sign AEW is going off the rails. I just don't know how to feel about it. There certainly are some signs that AEW need a traditional booker in place that works under Tony with his influence but does the majority of the work. It's just tough to say right now. The card for Revolution reads like a TNA ppv with all the gimmicks. Maybe that's a good hook for a ppv right now I'm just not sure. Also I'm not enthralled by Kenny as champ. His reign has been my least favorite era for AEW thus far. But still there is a curious part of me marking out for the Barbed Wire Exploding Death Match. I loved their lights out match.

Kenny's character work with Callis has been super entertaining. He's only had one title match so far that was a fucking banger, so no complaints from me.
I like the Revolution card so far. We're getting a pay off to a nearly year long feudbetween Darby and Taz, the face of the revolution match sounds fun and hopefully pushes Scorpio Sky into a weekly tv role again. Moxley and Omega match is a little silly, but a brutal match between the two to likely end their trilogy also makes sense. I do wish Santana and Ortiz beat the Bucks. Could've put the titles on them, havethem defend at Revolution against MJF acc Jericho and turn MJF on Jericho that night. Shida has had a good run of matches but no interesting story. I'm hoping Baker wins out in the tournament and gets the title. But a tourney to determine a number 1 contender after a Shida has beaten pretty much everyone is fine. The Hardy Paige match is the only one that seems random. But I like Paige and he's still working the Dark Order storyline, so he's at least being featured. |

Moxley no selling Eddie Kingstons finisher and then the commentators saying it was because of how tough his beard is, is enough for me to be totally done with Moxley. I want someone to fuck him up for real in the ring the next time he no sells like that.

I didn't know that was Kingston's finisher either, tbh. I enjoy Moxley in the ring. The comment was dumb tho. Didn't even catch it.

That would have made all the sense in the world. They could've had The Bucks then challenge Good Brothers for the Impact titles on Revolution as well and win. Then Bucks could be on Impact more and help out there.

I was dreaming of an angle where Santana and Ortiz defend the belts against Jericho and MJF. Jericho starts out the match and gets isolated and beat on for a while, and when he tags MJF, all 3 pull a Flair and start beating the piss outta Jericho, heaving his fat ass out of the inner circle off tv until the summer for a babyface return. Alas, my dreams have been dashed for now. |
