Takes celebrating the art, beauty, and oddity of modern pro wrestling.
In a vacuum, the Mark Davis match was still great. It just would have worked better without the cloud of Ospreay being injured over it -- and still lingering. Mark Davis beating an injured wrestler? 👎 Mark Davis making Ospreay fear being reinjured and Ospreay's resulting mental conflict? 👍 #AEW 🤼

They'd have to fit it into some sort of unannounced PPV before All In to make that work, huh?

No. It'd be pretty rad if they let him embrace the attention he got from his politics more, but I doubt Brody wants that to be his identity. But in Minnesota, where Brody is as much of a hero as he was in Mexico when he wore the Fuck ICE shirt? He should have been allowed on TV.

Checked box: keeping Brody King off of TV in a city where you know he'll prompt "Fuck ICE" chants.
Unchecked box: keeping open bigots promoting their big "Which Bigot Can Beat the Other's Ass?" fight off your show.

The AEW Men's World Champion should be the biggest thing on every show, alongside the AEW Women's Champion. He should be #1 in terms of match presentation, #1 in terms of story presentation, and instead? Not even a 10-minute match and no story coming out of the PPV.

How is it helping your show to say, "AEW IS FOR THE SICKOS!" and then force us to read the most normie-ass boring takes from Twitter in the middle of a MOTY candidate? 🤼 #AEW

Also, it's been said a million times but it needs to be said again. One women's match per Dynamite is completely unsustainable. Something's gotta give.
