Absolutely. JR was so great during that era. He made every broadcast more entertaining.
It's sad that he received death threats for accidently calling AEW the WWE on a broadcast last year.

I think Black has the coolest entrance right now and it’s even cooler with Brodie. I love it.
I still truly believe they need to use their big guys more. I hate how little they get pushed. Archer did beat Mox for the IWGP US title, but he didn’t have it long before losing to Tanahashi. Also he’s one of 3 people to beat Mox in AEW, so that’s prestigious company. But Archer is good people and has come such a long way in his career. Put a title on him before he’s gone.
I think this whole Archer push is dumb. Dudes been gone for months and never been a main event type wrestler and he's getting an angle with the champ? Makes no ****ing sense and no one gives a shit about Lance Archer.
Kinda lends credence to Hangman being more of a transition champ. They would have someone like Omega as champ entering into a feud with Archer.
He was so over and a good enough wrestler that he deserved to win the title, but I don't really see him as a guy that can carry the company as your champ for long.
He did not just hang with BD for 90min in two weeks just to make him a transitional champ. I don’t see it.
I beg to differ. He's a Braun Strowman type monster heel who would get over much more very easily with more exposure.
Again, I beg to differ. If this reign is short, it will be because they are giving fans a taste so we care, but then are going to have Hangman in the sweet spot chasing the heel.
I know they allow a lot of non PG language on AEW but I was shocked they let both Moxley and Archer drop the F bomb without bleeping it out last night.
Worth a read if any of you have time…damn near broke into tears reading it. Brodie was an amazing man with a great story. Much like all of us.

Uncle Dave taking this too personally…
- Dave Meltzer reported on F4WOnline's message board that AEW sources were mum on the topic so "either it’s true and they are all mad it’s out or it’s a work and they don’t want to lie to me," (h/t Cageside Seats).
Whatever the case may be, Rhodes' contractless status seems like a much bigger deal than the company is making it. Whether that means the current TNT champion moves on and looks to further establish his legacy in another promotion or sticks around with the one he helped create is the question.
Only saw bits and pieces of Dynamite due to the game, but Mox looked to be back in great shape. Solid promo too, I still think we get a heel turn soon but need to milk the crowd a little longer for it to make a big impact.
Cody and his clan are intertwined pretty deeply with AEW/TBS, the only way I see him leaving is if the Nightmare Factory and all wrestlers associated with it leave en masse to begin their own company.
So Zayn re-signed with wwe - guessing b/c KO did too
Also wwe denied Ali’s request to be released so guessing he’s gonna be doing catering or jobbing out now

anyone watch/listen to pat mcafee? a caller mentioned the royal rumble and aj hawk asked if that is why pat was getting into shape, insinuating pat was going to be an entrant, and pat said no but his face said "oh sh*t, I cant believe he just asked that... yea, that's why"
Cody would have a really good thing going if he would stop being a stubborn ass and just embrace being a heel. Hogan might have been the biggest babyface that ever existed and he even went heel. If Hogan can accept it, everyone else should be able to.
where's he going to go? he's been pretty much useless in AEW anyway... and I like him.
Lol. Awesome. Ali is such s bag of shit. Just job him out in dark matches til his contract runs out.
I’m sure Vince will have him job on whatever show he’s on - dark matches would be the easy way out
Man, Archer is way older than I thought. I'm kind of torn on him. I think if they're going to give a big guy a push, it should be Wardlow instead. Archer has a cool nickname and has Jake with him which is cool too. I guess we'll see where it goes.
With Archer’s age it makes it a now or never thing. He gets his push now or it’ll end up being too late. Wardlow has so much time ahead of him.
Walter McCarty was great.
Gunther Benke tucked tail and went home before playing a game.
I concur.
Oh definitely remember this. I think Lawler had to talk Vince out of it. Would’ve been stupid and to just humiliate them.
