Yes (no pun). I love self-aware wrestlers who are willing to adjust. Danielson knows what people like about his pre WWE/ROH Best in the world era. And he's trying to hit that mark for his last 'full-time' run while adding in all that he learned in WWE. I think it is going to kick all sorts and types of ass. So far so good. And wow..that crowd was AMPED the whole time.

That's where my 'full-speed' comment about Kenny was going. Kenny is at his best when the situation calls for him to be a balls to the wall, New and All Japan 'epic match', HBK memorial-style wrestler who can do basically anything in the ring and make it all look good. And until now, AEW hasn't really allowed for him to have that with any regularity. And he's not a Flair/classic with a broomstick type of guy I don't think. I still contend that he's a good heel cuz people want to see get beat the fuck up and he's not above looking like a bitch/cheating like crazy to steal a win.

Jericho, Christian, and even Mox are not at their top speed/prime/best. Bryan is much closer to his peak than they are. And that's what Kenny needs/deserves at least some of the time to max himself out. I'm glad to see that he still has it when he gets a chance to do it.

Look man, this is going to happen. As soon as Black did the fake dive into the backflip and sit deal, I thought...'hmmm, double turn!'.

All of the weird stuff with Arn is gonna help it all go even more. And you know folks can't wait to hate on fine ass Brandi Rhodes. And she's easily a better heel anyway. It shall be fun.

The thing they are both very good at is 'having a different speed' when it is time to do certain sequences. Charlotte is one of the best out at this..she's done it to perfection several times in the last few years. She was SUPREME in her Rumble win a couple of years ago for instance. The speed of her finishing sequences when she's working with someone who can go is even more special. Her matches will hold up really well.

And Britt..oh man, I'm so glad she turned heel/tweener and got saved. And the Tony Schiovane shit is funny to me. It is almost too perfect to have Tony shill for her even more than he does in general. To me, the point is that he's a tweener too.

Give me Reigns/Omega though for best fantasy match for living people who can still go. Those SOBs would be making faces, laying shit in, and going all out. And Reigns loves those smaller guys that he can hoss up on. The cool reversals alone would probably make Kurt Angle blush. Hell, I'd love me some Rollins/Omega too for the reversal festivals too.

That might be it. MJF deserves something big where he can spread his wings in the ring if he has it in him.

On one hand, I kinda want Hangman to 'get his turn' at the top, but sheesh..he might be screwed for the next year or so with all of the STAR folks around now. Add in folks like Miro/Rusev and Darby being flat out excellent the last few months and there's a traffic jam of goodness developing on the AEW shows.

Sammy is good times when he gets to wrestle.

Miro is back on his best days shit right now. His talking bits are upgraded now too. And his matches are dynamic even when they are basically squashes. I think I've seen it describes as 'he sells even when he's on offense'. And he damn sure does. And I love him for it.
