Jack Perry defeats Dante Martin and El Phantasmo and Konosuke Takeshita and Lio Rush and Mark Briscoe (16:56) - TITLE CHANGE !!!

Wasn't much of a title change; lot of good candidates for that belt but no, Baby Khan has to give it to an Elite. I mean, wouldn't it've looked good around the waist of Mark Briscoe, @Dead2009? Hell, Dante would've been better. Repeat after me on this one: LAAAAAAZZZY BOOOOOOOOOKKKKKIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Mercedes Mone (c) [AEW] defeats Stephanie Vaquer (c) [NJPW] (16:51) - TITLE CHANGE !!!

Oh God, why? On her worst day Vaquer has far more talent than Mercedes Moan. Hell, Willow had more talent than Moan does and they still hung the strap on Moan.

Tetsuya Naito defeats Jon Moxley (c) (17:04) - TITLE CHANGE !!!

What was the over/under on Mox getting dropped on his head Fenix-style in this match?

Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) (c) defeats Will Ospreay (27:05)

At least Baby Khan did one good match booking....

 

[Dead2009]

They only put the belt on Perry because the rest of the group have belts.

Like I said, 'lazy booking."

Of course, what should've happened was Tony Khan telling Adam Copeland not to do the stupid shit he did that caused him to break his lower leg in the previous PPV but that'd be asking way too much from AEW and, if failed, creating an interim belt and letting Jungle Jackoff have that belt while you do another Ladder Match involving Malakai Black (who frankly should've won agst. Edge) and a couple other contenders.

That way, you get Perry w/an interim belt and whoever wins the other match with the actual belt; put them together and unify the damn things the way they did w/Punk and Moxley a while back w/the World Championship.

I'm honestly praying, Dead, for the day Shad Khan yanks the book from his son and gives it to someone else; hell, at this point, even Vince Russo would be a better booker than Baby Khan. As much goodwill as AEW earned at Revolution, they've burned it with Tony's ADHD-cokehead addled booking decisions and his suckups to the Chucklefucks and Company.

At this point, I'm starting to watch a lot more TNA, WOW (Women of Wrestling), WWE and even NWA on the CW app than I am AEW most weeks.

 

[Dead2009]

Well no, it's not an interim belt because it was vacated. When they did it with the world title between Punk and Moxley, it was never vacated. Same with the women's belt when Toni Storm was interim champ the first time.

Given some of the match results, someone probably needs to check on Uncle Dave 'cause he might've finally jerked himself into oblivion with how he slobbers positive on all things AEDub....

Welcome to "Booking by Tony Khan".....
Vince Russo could do a better job booking AEW; you might understand what the hell Russo's doing at times, but at least it'd be more cogent....

 

[Dead2009]

Apparently the ROH trios titles are vacant as well. So as soon as you vacated the AEW ones, you automatically un-unified the belts. WHAT? Lol.

As long as Sting's kid isn't Garret Bischoff-level bad.....I will say this: Darby Allin would've been a perfect wrestler for TNA's X-Division back in late-2000's/early-mid 2010's but one of these days, his mind's gonna convince him to try a move that's going to legit be a career-threatening injury. Of course, this being AEW.....

The viewer bleed continues for Baby Khan's live-action dolls....

AEW could be doing so much better were it not to Baby Khan....

I saw they put the ROH trios belts on Dustin and the Von Erichs. The Von Erichs arent even under contract, lol.
