Have the 4 at the top been booked strongly enough to make this an exciting match? Or is this gonna excite purely on the strength of the OG Bloodline being back together and the other 4 blokes could be anyone?

Oh it's all about seeing the reunion and then seeing Tonga Loa beaten from one ring to the next and one side of the cage to the next and make him earn his damn paycheck.

Considering the lack of actual talent in the New Blood(line), they’ve done a spectacular job building them up as a threat. Loads of big, 1997 Nitro-style heat angles where they’ve left the likes of Orton, Owens, Cody, Roman and Big Jim in a pile of rubble.

It’s easily been enough to hide the fact that - in reality - Solo’s been exposed as not worthy of a headline spot, Tama Tonga is barely passable as a disposable goon and Tanga Loa is laughably shit at everything. The only one with any real worth is Jacob. He feels like RVD when he was still slumming it with The Alliance. Bunch of shitarses, and then this one clearly talented, super exciting gem. Sky’s the limit for him.

You can’t fault them for trying though. A load of Stevie Rays on the surface, but they’ve actually put the work in. They’re now a hot, believable set of baddies that only The Goodline could compete against. Save_us.Dawgs.

The day Sami Zayn’s music hits for him to run down and make the save is going to rule. Greatest night in the history of our sport.

I love Tonga Loa, and I don't even know why. Just pops me seeing lads like him finding themselves slap bang in the middle of the hottest angle in the business, whilst still looking like they don't know a wrist lock from a wrist watch. Man's living the dream.

Have to feel for AOP member number 2:

 

A) Being lumbered with Kross 

B) Looking so boring next to whatever that getup is on AOP 1

I'd say AOP2 is doing alright in comparison to AOP1. 

It looks like someone's tried to wrap some binoculars in a bit of cloth to protect them from the rain.

Kofi Kingston won a World Title at Wrestlemania for fuck sake, and he's still smiling.

I definitely had a Phantom Menace Tazo of that in the 90s.

Is she stepping down? She says her time has come to an end but I don’t see her saying it’s her choice. Could be reading too much into it. 

I have no idea. Just used that phrase randomly to be honest.

Given they give her all the big time stuff I’d imagine it’s her choice. Sure we’ll find out though and strange to leave it a bit ominous.

I was never the fan everyone else seems to be. I can credit her for the enthusiasm she brought to the job and I’m not saying she isn’t good but I just didn’t enjoy it. The “Chelsea Green” thing and announcement for Cody winning the title are about the only things she done I enjoyed so I embrace this change a little.

I know it's not a popular opinion here, but not a fan. Much like her leaving statement, I find her a bit over the top. 

I hope they find a ring announcer who doesn't consider it 'their art'. Again, only a personal opinion, but I'd rather the ring announcer considered themselves a part of the wrestlers art, helping elevate the work of the real artists where they can as opposed to seeing themselves as a main character.

I'm not a massive fan of her, but I kind of want to see her follow Ricochet to AEW just to see if Scorchio's head explodes.

It absolutely will, because when I saw this I felt

but then I thought

but even that aside, if it’s one thing AEW don’t need it’s more ring announcers or backstage interviewers. Arkady is already similar to Samantha and they have Renee, Lexy Nair, Alicia Atout already doing backstage interviews.
