The lack of a traditional wrestling panel cut the total down by at least a couple hundred.

I think Cassidy will be fine. Yes, AEW is saying that they're "sports-based" and whatnot, but so is New Japan and they still find space for guys like Yano and Taguchi.

I went to the NXT house show in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and Baszler and Yim did essentially the same match there, but better. I don't really know how to explain it, but that house show match did a way better job of telling the story of Baszler having an injured arm, which kept her from being able to apply her finisher. And they did a much cooler transition from her trying to do her finisher then dropping Yim lower for the leg lock.

Unfortunately, they didn't reproduce it tonight.

Yup. He hobbled out there with a chair as a crutch. I fully expected him to be faking it, dodge Brock, and blast him with the chair. But...nyope. Just another five minute obliterating beatdown. He then got on the mic gave a full-on "I've got nowhere else to go" speech and guaranteed victory this weekend anyway. So, he's going to look even worse now if/when he doesn't win.

Done up to here.

This doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, but I'm assuming Juice is gonna play spoiler for Moxley on the last night of the tournament and cost him a spot in the finals. Then, they book a title rematch for finals night, Juice wins, and we all go back to our normal lives.

@silver-streak: Works for me. Maybe someone un-nuked it already.

Done up to here.

@drdarkstryfe:

I'm guessing AEW doesn't want him on US TV for another promotion.
