That’s clever. I didn’t even think of that. I guess that is why they are doing the backstage thing right now as well.

Though I do somewhat wish this was a regular match just because of the dynamics of being able to work with two rings. We only get a two-ring setup once a year, there’s a lot of stuff you try that you can’t do any other time.
And with AEW having an extended apron section because of the cage that gives them more space to do stuff there too.
Somebody needs to help me understand the storyline/booking. Why does Mox tap out to an ankle lock in a match like that? This is twice in the last month he's quit in a match. 3 times since the summer(?) Why have this wild, dangerous, deathmatch-loving gimmick if you keep submitting? I'm sure there's a reason. Love to hear it.
The women's match was awkward, clumsy, and slow. Kudos to the girls for showing off their "art" and "willingness," but it was a mess. The ending was better than the men's, though. That finish made sense from a storytelling aspect.
Kyle-O looked like Carrie after she got the bucket of blood dumped on her. I'll bet the Turner execs who bothered to watch were probably a little uncomfortable. The match itself was fine, but the ending makes no sense to me until someone explains the reasoning.
I remember when I was a kid I used to go to a place called Guntown Mountain in Cave City. During various parts of the day, they would have an stunt man show where these guys would get tossed out of windows or thrown through saloon doors or whatever. That's what the Hangman/Hobbs match reminded me of. Guys got in a couple of their stunts and then went to the back for a cigarette. Decent time-filler.

I do t have time to type it all but Mox started his group to teach the younger aew wrestlers about being tough as all get out. Remember when he beat Yuta to death in a couple matches when Yuta was trying to prove he could be tough and belonged? They took Danielson out because he was getting soft and lost that edge.
Now Mox has quit multiple times this year. Everyone is waiting on his crew to turn on him and cast him out as he’s no longer the guy they started following and like Danielson needs to be taken out.
In a quick nutshell.
Yep.
1. Follow the leader.
2. Leader isn't what they are supposed to be.
3. Take out/leave the leader.
Because the story of dictators/authoritarians like Moxley is when everything starts falling apart around them their weakness is exposed and they self sabotage. Eventually people who were brainwashed realize the person is a fraud/liar/conman/crook/swindler and they get taken out or overthrown.
The Turner execs approve of this stuff. TK has weekly meeting with them going over all this stuff.

I get it. But it seems like that keeps Mox a heel and turns everyone else face? Maybe that's where they're headed? I just assumed it would be Mox going face. Maybe he teams up with MJF when he returns and they form a conniving snake-oil heel faction?
Also, not so much as scratch or small puncture on our boy Claudio last night. He must have a strict "no blood" clause.
Pretty good read if you have some time. Rey Mysterio talking about today being the 20th Anniversary of the passing of Eddie Guerrero.
