I think the show exposed Tony Khan's lack of inexperience in the business. He needs to learn that he can't be everyone's friend and that the boss can't really be one of the boys.

He should have called for the Hardy match to be stopped and he should give JR a McMahon level bollocking for his shitty work and lack of professionalism.

Starting to see why Vince seemed to really enjoy humiliating the cranky old creep.

Thought it was a solid episode but Jim Ross needs to go, he's so bad. Either do a 2 man team or replace him with Tazz. He was at his worst during the Thunder Rosa match where he was giving unenthusiastic back-handed compliments about how good they are for women. His "star power" has drawn everyone it will have when AEW launched, nobody will leave if Jim Ross isn't there.

I lost count of how many times JR stated it was "fundamentally sound"

Loved the ending. But wasn't there rumours of someone else making a debut. What happened with that?

Anyone able to take a zoomed in freeze frame of the AEW Code of Conduct A board that was not so subtly placed in the falls count anywhere match?

Orange Cassidy v Jericho was great. Such a shame it was in the environment it was. Definitely a few spots in that match that wudda blown the roof off an arena full of fans.

Not sure I agree with bikini models stuff, I know they movement is important but they are models that got a nights work they wouldn't have had at the moment.

They served no purpose but if they must have them then they should have male models too in trunks. If they don't want the latter then they shouldn't have models dressed like that all in my opinion.

Felt very uncomfortable with the use of women in bikinis throughout the whole show to be honest

anyone else when watching on itv get loads of bleeps during the opening tag match? Couldn’t make out what it was covering them saying 

It wasn't just the itv feed.

Clutch Adams, some indy guy, has been pulled from this week's Dark for tweeting offensive racist and homophobic comments. Someone flagged them up from 2013 and tagged Cody and Tony Khan into them. I'll not link to the tweet but it's easy enough to find if you want

The new t-shirt would suggest FTR stands for F*ck the rest

@Mr Butternut Squash Your post just reminded me that during the battle royale JR called Sonny Kiss 'she'. 

It wasn't just the once either...

Shit I actually forgot about FTR. Guess being lumped with Butcher and Blade will have that effect.

On those scrubs has The Bunny gimmick been ditched?

Guess so. Wasn't it Allie flirting with QT Marshall at ringside all night?

... I also enjoyed ziggy dice for the first time ever. 

It doesn't sound like it but his name is actually Zicky. He's certainly grown on me since his debut

Small piece on the wrestling in Florida situation on John Oliver last night. Only as part of a bigger piece on bringing back sports in the US and not the expose it might have otherwise been though

WWE Network on the other hand? Didn't work at all again, despite having my £9.99. During the show, when I wanted to watchwrestling, the WWE Network was the most buggy of any version of the show I could watch. They got cancelled again immediately. From they changed hosting companies, the Network has been the absolute shits. Worse than UFC Fight Pass was about three years ago, and it was the worst streaming platform I'd ever seen. 

Watched live on the network. No issues whatsoever

Don't think I've seen it mentioned here but Jericho said last night that they've got 6 Dynamites in the can...

Seriously not liking the new opening credits

Twenty nine ninety nine delivery? You what? 

Isn't that a standard delivery/self installation cost that usually covers the router?

When does this go up on the ITV hub these days?

I've given up waiting on itv now. They don't even bother on the @itvwrestling twitter account. Like they've given up themselves. It's on ITV4 Friday nights though. Possibly

Cody confirms AEW coming to the UK next year..

"100% – you can hold us to it. We are coming to the UK in 2020 and we’ve got some tentative dates circled, but it’s a matter of where you’re going to hit. Are you going to hit as many markets as possible or are you just going to do London & Manchester?

I can’t be sure if we’re coming for Dynamite, a PPV or a rare live event tour, but everyone is on-board with us coming in 2020 and if I’m incorrect with that statement, I will give you $500."

Private Party remind me of the Young Bucks ten years ago - the talent is there, the gimmick is there, but it all needs fine tuning to make it actually work

Didn't commentary say that very same thing a couple of weeks back?

For anyone that’s interested, ShopAEW (which is run by Pro Wrestling Tees) has got 20% off everything using the code ‘Retail’ at checkout until Monday 5pm GMT. Shipping is $9 to the UK, which I didn’t think was too bad

Plus a random free autographed 8x10

Did I hear JR refer to AEW as AWA?!
