I love AEW but I will never understand giving away all your biggest first time matches on weekly tv when you charge $50 for PPVs. People would pay to watch these matches on PPV. The first time match can be a way to lead to the feud. If one person doesn't like the result (especially if there are shenanigans) and that leads to a false finish then you build from there towards a PPV match that has actual meaning. Swerve is in the middle of a feud with Hangman and is heading towards a PPV match with Danielson. A real booker could intertwine things with some long term planning that can lead to something between Serve and Okada down the road, but Tony is incapable of doing that. This is no doubt a throw away match to me. Honestly though, without a build, having their first match on a PPV is a throw away match just the same. It would be another, "I'm better than you, no you're not" match. Another "banger" with zero story and zero build. Quite frankly I've seen enough of those on free tv and on PPV. I'd rather see a drawn out story like Sami and the Bloodline that culminates at a PPV than 1 great match for no reason on a PPV. MJF vs Will Ospreay will be building towards the future. It's going to be Garcia vs MJF at Wembley. Garcia is going to screw MJF tonight and cost him the match. That leads to their match, and also puts Ospreay up a win over a MJF which he will want revenge for down the road.

Not too sure about announcing they will bookend your show, as well. I'm just going to watch the opener and flip to another channel until I know the main event will be on.Why? What else do you watch this like this? Movies? Sports? A stand up comedian always comes out HOT to get the crowd going and then saves the best joke(s) to close the act so people remember them. Would you watch the beginning/end of the act and tune out the middle where the material might not be as good? I understand watching the entire show and changing the channel or going for a shet during segments/matches you don't care about, but tuning out 60% of a show without even knowing what's on it is a concept that makes absolutely no sense to me. What goes into that line of thinking?

Yeah I get what you’re saying. Putting a Jericho segment in the middle is beyond crazy at this point.

I will start off with saying that I like Will Ospreay That said, his moves take some time to set up and all I can pay attention to when he's getting his stuff in is Max either standing and waiting or moving his body where it needs to be to catch Will. I like this match more once it settled in and focused on MJF getting heat and working towards the Ospreay comeback Just my take. I feel the same here as I did for MJF vs Kenny. I liked it more once it slowed down and settled in

The stand around waiting to get jumped on or hit spots always bother me too.

The stand around waiting to get jumped on or hit spots always bother me too. It's not just Will, either. Even the guys waiting can make it worse and Jey Uso is one of those guys. I can get brought back into a match but these current style matches of everyone getting their sht in and THEN trying to have a wrestling match is bothersome to me That said, this match is getting better the longer it goes on.

Will's attire reminds me of one of Seth's.
We need that match one day
