Cassidy vs Wardlow is a real headscratcher -- whose going to believe Wardlow will lose? I just hope Cassidy survives with his body parts intact.

Quote from the Discord chat I watch this in:

"Wardlow has to feel like Eddie Valiant in fucking Toon Town here!"

Tay Conti taunting Anna Jay about her singles record is a little rich, considering that Tay hasn't had a singles match since publicly appearing as Sammy Garcia's girlfriend.

The main event was excellent, it's a good call for the Bucks to be transitional champs so that the titles can bring attention to the rest of the tag teams. Swerve and Keith Lee winning will be fun, although the eventual betrayal is so obvious that NASA just published photos of it taken by the JWST.

Oh, see, I disagree! Cassidy has just enough skill to let you think he might, maybe, have an outside chance if he gets a stroke of luck. And either way he deflates the super-serious dudes (Ospreay for example) just enough to make them look plausibly stoppable.

holy shit, so extremely here for Heel Luchasaurus and I never expected to be.

I just realized I wrote Sammy Garcia instead of Sammy Guevara, which just goes to show how much I think he and Daniel Garcia should fusion dance into one Jericho-appreciating Garnet.

Keith Lee is a generational talent. No one can legitimately argue that. But it's the little things I love, like after he caught a Buck on a suicide dive, powerbombed him into the other Buck hanging over the ropes, and then just sort of casually put the first Buck back into the ring the way I toss a half-empty box of cereal back up on the top of the refrigerator.
