Good, now do Orton/Ciampa

The nasty flavor of the "cinematic match" before it really tainted the whole thing. As mentioned the obvious voice over announcers, lack of audio from the ring (Orton's fists into the mat must be silent now), and the disconnect with the PC people. 99.9% of that match was completely dubbed over with the result being something my young teen could do. With Heyman gone they've now stopped bailing water on the sinking RAW ship. Double or Nothing ran laps around tonight (and I say that despite not watching AEW live.)

ETA: The proper place for that "match" would have been between the two championship matches.

Taker special... starting to set the build for the infamous match against Goldberg in Saudi

my level of respect for both AJ Styles & the Undertaker both just went down significantly


they like Diet Dr. Pepper????

That was a great match.

If you're saying the "cinematic tag match" was great you need glasses. If you're talking about the last match, my issue is that the match before's stupidity shaded it with some of the same crap (Fink/Naitch bowtie/XFL camera shots)...then spending half of the match doing others' finishers and false finishes. That does not make a great match it makes an unoriginal match that belongs at a fair.
