Agreed. JR is useless most of the time but a big title match he always steps up and adds a lot, especially if the match has a good story behind it. I don't even listen to him most the time but his voice IS wrestling to me so I find it to be pleasing background noise to my wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Yeah, JR has enough goodwill for people to not get too hung up on his overall declining ability, as long as he isn’t out staying his welcome. Advertising that he was going to call Moxely and Hager added to the illusion that this was going to be a special match. He should be saved for big matches rather than calling full events which have stuff not to his taste. Keep him as a sit down interviewer and a special attraction. Tazz would be a decent replacement for everything else. As for Excalibur, I don’t mind him too much and he is the only one who feels like an AEW announcer because he isn’t associated with another big time promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uklaw Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Small details from the Archer vs Dustin match I haven’t heard mentioned (much) that may be worth remembering: Firstly, a couple of good touches was the fact that Archer didn’t back off when Cody and QT Marshall entered the ring-even if they didn’t rush him. He wasn’t to immediately know that when they slid in. Puts him over as unafraid. Secondly, when Dustin started to come round and saw Archer was still there, he put his arm up and backed off, on the mat, almost as if to say ‘no more, keep him away from me’ Lastly, the bit with Cody preventing QT from throwing in the towel, then hesitating himself, giving Dustin the chance to take it, before Archer pulled him back inside. Couple that with those of a heel persuasion (particularly Jericho on commentary, and Spears and Britt Baker in the crowd) berating him for ‘not saving his brother from harm’ and (adding that to Brandi taking the bullet for Cody in the opening match) they’ve given themselves some avenues to explore: - A possible selfish, ruthless streak in Cody, putting others in harm’s way in his mission to win gold. -Possible motivation for a Dustin heel turn or revisiting their issue last year. Of course, it would all be contingent on how it’s interpreted by any of the players in this picture.

UK Kat Von D Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 When I saw that Cody was stopping the towel thrown it it made me think of how he didn’t want the towel thrown in when he lost his chance at the title. His motivation for allowing his brother to take extra punishment made total sense. Well see how Dustin feels about it hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we’ve not seen the last of the abuse Cody received from the ‘heel side’. Even if it’s just to give us an extra dimension leading to Double Or Nothing.

Paid Members GlennCullen Posted May 3, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 3, 2020 Is Jericho one of the EVPs? Because he really should be with the shift he puts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Jericho is too smart for shallow titles. Probably more than happy with a big money contract and creative freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he sits in on the booking and production meetings so he seems to be more than a typical wrestler but perhaps less than an EVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
