    Stoke managing a heel Hobbs would have been such money. Sigh.

    Those Matt Jackson suplexes were nice. So nice I even had to credit the Bucks.

    felt like they ran out of time prematurely, they didn't really get the full shot of Hangman reacting to turning around and seeing them

    What a great Dynamite. Don't care about the ratings, that show delivered from top to bottom. Muddied up the main event scene with young future main eventers. Great opening segment. Blackpool CC needs to find some juice. They're just kinda there right now. Jade vs Taya felt legit. First contender for her in a while. Thought the QTV segment was fine. I enjoy when the companies talk/make fun of each other. No way you could put any belt on Jarrett. Right call there sticking with OC. Outcasts promo was fine. Felt a bit more lively, might've just been the crowd. Trios title match was booked perfectly. I thought that was a great show! Keep building momentum.

    I think Darby can be, but if Khan is going to actually let them try to main event, that’s all you can ask for. If they fail, so be it.

    I like turning BCC heel.

    Where I see this heading with how it ended... Evil Uno got taken out and sent to the hospital. Stu Grayson was only there because they were in Canada so he's out of the picture now. Next BCC is going to take out Silver and Reynolds. That leaves Hangman all by himself to get taken out by the BCC, but the Elite make the save. Eventually Hangman rejoins the Elite like it has been teased in small bits and pieces for over a year now because he can't count on the Dark Order to help him out, setting up a 4v4 match against the BCC. Don't know who the 4th man for BCC would be unless Danielson "rejoins" the group and turns heel.

    When I first started watching AEW, the refs were one thing I noticed right away. The reactions in ring from them are overdone and distracting. I can't be the only one. I'll still watch AEW, just stating.

    Pretty much the same for me. Edwards is just very visible because she refs every Jericho match and most main matches.

    let’s just say, it’s because she’s a woman. With all of the over the top refs and refs being part of storylines it’s telling the person that is singled out is a woman. Not to say the poster is sexist but maybe people need to take a minute to think about the subconscious biases

    WWE/NXT has women refs and I couldn't even pick them out of a lineup if I tried, I just know they exist. Aubrey is awful and it has nothing to do with her being a woman, so we can stop with that. Rick Knox sucks too but for different reasons because he does nothing.

    Charles Robinson has some of the most ridiculous reactions to matches I’ve ever seen. I think this is a wrestling referee deal, not an AEW referee deal.

    Battle of the Belts is coming up on April 7th. Do you think we get a 4-way for the title that night to try and make that show mean something again? You can't string it out to DON.

    Knox loses all control of everything which is probably intentional.

    Knox only exists to referee Bucks matches so they don't have to follow any normal outline that a tag team match should follow

    She is way over the top. Maybe that’s what they want and some people like it. I’m sure she’ll be in an angle eventually.

    My idea would be a heel ref that strictly enforces tag rules in Bucks matches.

    Not just wrestling. Refereeing in general. Think of how many refs you can name off the top of your head in other sports. You don’t know them because of how good of a ref they are.

    she basically is already considering they've done it twice where she intervenes to prevent Jarrett's squad from winning a title. Happened in the Acclaimed match where they appeared to win the tag titles and happened last night. Which is a finish I hate due to how logically inconsistent it is when other titles are freely changing hands on foreign object shots away the refs' vision
