For how much of a big deal was made of the "audio production" for that match, was the audio kind of crappy for anyone else?

Impressed thus far with Edge vs Orton. So much better than their Wrestlemania match

why is it like this

It's so funny comparing this women's tag match with both women's matches in last week's NXT event. The NXT women's division has just been owning being the best for a year, while so much noise is made for the main women's roster's mediocrity.

I dare you, WWE. Hype a women's wrestling match without using the word "friendship."

I'm still so baffled by the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" slogan. It seems to break every rule of wrestling marketing, and I can't figure out to what end.

There's no way it can pay up. And even if both wrestlers were 20 years younger, it still couldn't because it's just wrestling.

If your alcoholism angle requires a bunch of explanation of why it's tasteful, it might not be.

My wife seeing a clip of Psycho Sid for the first time: "Who's that guy? [pause] Oh, I get it."

It also might be the ultimate fulfillment of The Elite as a long-form parody of the NWO. Now we're in the part where Hogan killed WCW by being too much of a fan of himself.

But when I think back over the match, I start realizing just how one-sided it was. Basically every beat of it ended with the Elite members on top.

Between this and the Cody match, I worry about AEW hamstringing itself creatively by always building it around the same five people.

The football stadium match was pretty fun. It was hands-down better than the MITB match. These guys are willing to ham it up; you can tell it's like pulling teeth with some of the WWE wrestlers.

2020 will really be remembered as the year of wrestling matches in weird places.

Although I've enjoyed this show so far, I feel like its ratio of solid matches to gimmicky stuff is a little lower than I expect from AEW. More sizzle than steak.

Also, aliens don't like alien stuff, do they? Like, if she were actually an alien, she wouldn't want clip art aliens in her entrance video

If Kris Statlander's gimmick is that she's a space alien, then take the gimmick seriously. Don't talk about her gymnastics background.

The way Arn Anderson and Jake Roberts are being used here is the correct way to use old timers. The Rock and Roll Express in NWA is the incorrect way.

Brian Cage!

I don't feel great about the ocean b-roll under the Shad Gaspard in memoriam card.
