AEW and Impact - 7th August
AEW - due to real life, there was nap.
TNA: - In a really odd sort of way, the absence of crowd helps the Moose storyline, because it makes his whole "proclaiming self TNA world champion and best wrestler eva!!!" thing look even more ridiculous, because no-one is joining in with his nonsense.

I think Jimmy Jacobs had a big point when he said how much MCMG are a lot of the basis of a lot of modern semi-ironic wrestling. Which isn't how he phrased it, but yes, that sort of wink and an eyebrow at the whole thing, and it doesn't work for me, most of the time. It didn't work for me in MCMG's pomp, and it doesn't work for me now. The occasional bit, I can cope with, but I don't like the distance it creates. I have the world's most easily suspendable disbelief and I don't like things that interfere with it.
I love annoyed shouty North! It warms the cockles of my evil heart. (Also Shelley and I share a North/Steiner joke. I feel ... peculiar.) I am so !!!!!!! about this match up.
I'd say "behave, boys" about Callihan and Edwards except it's them and therefore shouting at them is pointless. Haters gonna hate, Troll Prince gonna eye gouge.
Are they trying to turn Troll Prince into a good guy with regard to RVD? Because, no, I need him as Troll Prince. I'm fine with lesser of two evils, but he needs to stay decidedly troll prince.
I have just noticed that Taya has the coolest tattoo.
I hate retirement angles - I hope that Rich Swann for unrelated reasons chose to retire and they're just using it.
