NJPW waited too long to start pushing the younger guys. The G1 has been fun but it's mostly unknowns to a wider audience

Gabe is fine, but I’m not a fan. Lil Fit, from what I saw during this year’s WK/WD has improved, but I still don’t care for him. Yota seems like a solid talent.
I watch more WWE than NJPW nowadays.
I haven’t given a shyt about the G1 since 2019 and I am not even a casual NJ watcher anymore. It’s pretty much WK and maybe a match or few I watch a year. I only checked ZSJ/Take this G1.

I started watching the first few shows and lost interest. Maybe I'll check the semifinals and finals matches. Def does hurt the ppv with it being scheduled so close to each other. AEW gotta use CMLL, RevPro, and any other potential partnerships to their advantage more tho. The concept isn't bad or unnecessary, just needs to expand to more than NJPW.

I'ma pray for Brother Stoke in his time of crisis.
Athena already hit the O-Face two weeks in a row on Toni, she will probably counter it during the match at Forbidden Door, O-Face into Storm Zero seems impossible to pull, so most likely O-Face into the TCM Chicken Wing.

This was just a good, honest 2 hours of mid-week entertainment.
FD card is starting to look good but also not very FD. Since it's the only AEW show I'll get to go to this year I'm not that bothered - tbh, I probably get to see the top end of the NJPW talent more often than I do AEW so I'm good with an AEW heavy card, but it is a bit weird. Why not just give us All Out and wait for the G1 to finish for FD somewhere else?!
Mox and Speedball was entertaining. Darby on his serial killer, Slim Shady ass shyt is great. Textbook Yutanapping. Darby/Mox at FD. OKAY THEN.
Women's match was fun, but the chemistry wasn't quite clicking at times. Skye doesn't feel quite up to full speed yet, hope she can raise herself up and hang quickly because she's beloved by the crowd.
Generally the women's division is brilliant right now, they could do with giving it an extra segment or two in the weekly show.
I love Alex Windsor but that WINSAAAA shyt gotta go. Glad she won. 4 way at FD means Mercedes doesn't have to be pinned if, for example, she was taken out of the game by Safire Reed and the Cut Throat Collective
Interesting that MVP was already teasing Max's first feud if he beats Hangman. He's obviously got to do the Lashley angle eventually, but I don't think Hangman drops here. I'm thinking maybe Max goads Hangman to agree to a title match at FD without using his contract. Hangman retains. Bobby somehow gets MJF into a match for the contract leaving Max vanquished and the HS bearing down on Hangman?
Also Max can play heel to a live crowd like it's a mid-90s house show at times and IDGAF it's fun. Don't know many times he rolled away from the elbow but he had me popping for it eventually.
Briscoe needs a moment at some point. Doesn't need a reign, it can be a Here, Damn transitional thing, but at the very least he needs to win an AEW belt at a big event like Dustin at All In. He's really the MVP of a lot of their TV shows.

Oh and Okada/Swerve is shaping up nicely but I fear for Swerve, he could be looking at 0-3 in London... Okada really coming up off that Unified Championship on the first defense? 
I thought you retired!
