It sounds like what I remember from the NXT shows I have been to. Lots of people are over..even people that don't seem like they are on TV. And the crowd is amped so everything 'feels better' because of the crowd energy.

>I don't really like Jon Moxley but it was a cool moment and a

>Moxley had him tossed. I would've liked to have seen this end
>in some kind of angle but the promo got people going, it's
>really fun to yell out the lyrics to "Wild Thing", and he

>Adam Cole's entrance is over. Is Adam Cole over? I don't know.
>There was chatter in this post earlier about him not looking

>Cody on the other hand gets all the reactions. When you have

>change, he warns Brody King of calling himself "Brody" in AEW.
>It's fucking insufferable...but it's also really important. I
>don't think Cody Rhodes of all people is sophisticated enough
>to do this like Meta-heel John Cena by birthright thing he's
>doing, I think he actually believes that what he's doing is
>great. It's NOT great, BUT people care A LOT. People boo with
>their full throats and launch profanity his way incessantly.
>Other people also chant for him and do the "bowing" motion to
>him too. So while I think he's kind of a mess, I can't help
>but admit he's the ONLY character on AEW who's getting
>legitimate heat. Cody Rhodes is the only real heel in AEW.
>Maybe it doesn't matter if it's being done on purpose?

>the CM Punk squash of Spears got a HUGE pop. God that was
>exciting. It's fun to do things like that I think...it felt
>like a flash knockout kind of UFC win. No one saw it coming
>but when it happened everyone immediately accepted it.

>And then there's Sting. Man, the word "legend" gets thrown

>I know a lot was made about Big Swole's lack-of-diversity
