Okay, beloved unhinged mutuals, I am here to share something with you. Vamp and I tend to do some pretty deep dives when we get really invested in shit, and we are, like, shoulder-deep in Jack and Darby’s fucking ecosystems right now, and see the thing is, we all assumed that Jack’s heel turn was decided last summer when Hook won the FTW belt and Jurassic Express lost the tag belts right around the same time (this was the beginning of the breakdown). And we also assumed that this was really where the idea of Jack being more, better, stronger, more successful if only he would drop the goodie-two-shoes act really started - first with Christian Cage, and later, in the Pillars tournament, with MJF.

Except that it isn't. From what we can tell, insofar as we haven't gone this deep into anyone else's social media, the first person to start this idea that Jack could be more, stronger, better was Darby in 2021. And here's the promo to prove it. It's worth listening to, not only because man I felt through every inch of my BODY, but because what he's saying here sounds so, so, so familiar to what we ended up hearing when Jack’s heel turn finally materialized. Look at the posting date: April 21, 2021. In fact, almost exactly two years later (Apr 19, 2023), the Pillars tournament officially kicked off, with this theme of Jack failing to reach his full potential being a running undercurrent.

(For what it's worth, two things: one, here is Jack's response to Darby’s promo. Two, Jack never once interacted with Darby’s promo on Twitter. Not a like, retweet, or reply, not even after AEW retweeted it. But his response covers a loooooot of the same stuff we heard starting in January of this year: I want to win. I want the belt. I want those matches. It might be safe to say that the first match that pushed him down this road was his 2021 match with Darby.)

Also worth mentioning: Darby and Jack never had another match after this 2021 one. There were a few multi-man matches, but none individually. In fact, they were the only Pillars to have only gone up against each other once (in AEW) prior to the tournament; everyone else had more history. They did, however, call back to their match specifically during Pillars promos.

When Darby gets the TNT belt again, I would be so surprised if Jack doesn't go after it - and him - again. There was a reason this loop was left open, there was a reason they kept talking about trust during their Pillars tag match, there's a reason they only ever had one match, and there was a reason they had Darby in the ring when Jack had to decide if he was gonna become the type of person he hated in order to win the championship. It took him two years to "flip the switch", but he finally did, and now, I suspect, he's got some unfinished business.

The whole jungle jack boy Perry discourse on Twitter is nauseating because alot of it is viewing it in binary, black or white, 1s and 0s.

You've got the anti elite camp digging into JP because he is a poor promo, but more because he's shat on their saviour CM Punk, and these people are slippery sloping into the cornettes rhetoric which is obviously biased against any pro elite/friends with the bucks.

But then you have the pro elite folk who are completely denying the fact JP has bombed here in his main event push, and this angle does feel weak, and there are guys like Ricky starks who would do an infinite better job right now.

I'm not saying that JP won't ever become a main event act but it's clear as Crystal to see he isn't ready for it, but he's also still a fucking great wrestler and id much rather see him as TNT champ atm than Wardlow.

Sometimes you try and it just doesn't work out, and this to me is a case of AEW risking it and it not paying off.

Full Gear preview

MJF vs. Jay White - Max is making his ninth defense of the AEW men's world championship; if he retains it tonight, then tomorrow he can say he's held the title for an entire year. White stole the title belt on October 4, in retaliation for an attack on September 27. Although the attackers were led by a man wearing MJF's signature devil mask, Friedman has denied any involvement. This will be Max's second match of the night, as he's working the pre-show in a tag match against White's henchmen, Austin and Colten Gunn.

I never expected to be so excited for this matchup. At times I have loathed both men, because they're so dedicated to their heel work that they sometimes cross the line from "boo" to "this is stupid I'm gonna make a sandwich." When White joined AEW it seemed inevitable they'd work together, and I was dreading that black hole of heel heat. In their first promo battle they kept harping on how alike they're supposed to be--a take so tepid I could get that from any idiot on Twitter--and I was like "hoo boy." And yet, they've sold me on it.

MJF's babyface works because it doesn't fundamentally alter who he is as a heel. He's still a spoiled rich kid trying to hurt everyone before they can hurt him. He's still extremely good at using rulebreaking and chicanery to get what he wants. It's just that now he wants to deserve to be loved--by Adam Cole, by the fans, and even by the Acclaimed--so now he's using every trick in his book to get something we want him to have.

Meanwhile, White's strengths as a heel aren't simply having the balls to get the cheapest heat possible, even if that's all he had to do in New Japan. What makes him stand out is that he's cold and calculating. He's too heartless to be distracted by his personal sentiment, which makes it easier for him to spot those weaknesses in an opponent and strategically exploit them. Max wants to be in your head to feel like a big shot; Jay wants to be in your head to dismantle you.

So now Max, the biggest cheater in AEW, is headed into a battle of cheaters, and the story is that he's the underdog, because Jay has stayed one step ahead at every turn. They've done such a great job with this that I almost believe Jay should get the title. Almost. Because at the same time, they've done an even better job building up Samoa Joe as the next challenger. And that story--that the invincible Joe will watch Max's back in exchange for a title match that Max can't win--is too good to disrupt by taking the title off of MJF. One way or another, I think the champ retains tonight.

Christian Cage & Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne vs. Adam Copeland & Sting & Darby Allin - Cage and Lucha have been feuding with Allin and Sting for months. Things escelated on October 1 when Darby's protege Nick Wayne betrayed him to align with Christian, and Adam Copeland debuted with AEW to stop the heels from injuring Sting.

Copeland is best known for his hall-of-fame career in WWE as Edge, which included seven tag team championships alongside Christian. The team broke up in 2001, although they've had more than a few reunions. Aside from battle royales, this is the first time these two have been on opposite sides of the ring since 2010. This is obviously building to a one-on-one match, probably for the AEW TNT title, so don't expect them to settle anything here.

The other big factor in this match is that Sting recently announced plans to retire in a few months. Ric Flair recently debuted with AEW to participate in Sting's final run, and he's going to be in the babyfaces' corner for this match. I suppose Flair doesn't have to turn on Sting, but their history suggests that he's totally going to turn on Sting. Sting hasn't been on the losing side of a match in eight years, but it may be about time for that to change. I could easily see Wayne or Allin getting pinned in this match, depending on what shenanigans happen.

Orange Cassidy vs. Jon Moxley - Cassidy's AEW international title is on the line. Moxley already beat Orange for the title on September 3, but within a few weeks a legit in-ring injury forced an unplanned title change to Rey Fenix. Mox was scheduled for a rematch with Fenix on October 10, but when he couldn't get medical clearance, Cassidy stepped in and regained the title. So even though Orange is once again the defending champion, it feels more like he's the challenger seeking to avenge a crushing defeat two months ago.

Very little has changed since the first bout. Moxley still thinks he can crush Cassidy like a bug, and Orange still has to prove he can weather the storm. If the original plan was a long Moxley title reign with Cassidy chasing him for six months, they could have him win again to get back on track. Or if the plan was for Cassidy to win back the title in the second match, he could simply retain here to set up an epic rubber match. I definitely think Orange needs to win the war, but that doesn't mean he has to win this battle. This could go either way.

Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho vs. Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson - The Golden Jets (Omega and Jericho) have been teaming up of late to fight their mutual enemies in the Don Callis Family, but Matt and Nick aren't happy about it. If the Bucks win this match, the Jets must disband as a team; but if the Jets win, they receive the AEW tag title shot the Bucks earned back on October 1.

The last time Kenny and a partner faced the Bucks, the partner was Adam Page and it was a match of the year candidate. Jericho is not Page, obviously, but even if you think he totally sucks, he doesn't suck enough to keep this match from being great.

It's only been six months since Kenny and the Bucks reconciled with Page, to get the Elite all together again for the first time in three years. So I don't understand the logic of having the Bucks turn on Kenny for no real reason. The only thing that makes sense is to build to Matt and Nick against Omega and Kota Ibushi. So it stands to reason the Bucks will win this match to remove Jericho from the equation.

Hikaru Shida vs. Toni Storm - This is for Shida's AEW women's world title. Shida won the title from Storm on August 2, but she lost it on August 27 in a four-way when Storm was pinned by her own ally, Saraya. Storm failed to recover the title from Saraya on September 20, but Shida dethroned Saraya on October 10. So yeah, Toni has been having a tough time of late, in case you were wondering why she flipped out and reinvented herself as an old-timey movie star.

Toni's over-the-top gimmick may be the best thing going in the division right now, so you can make the argument she should be the top champion. On the other hand, that would mean feeding your top women to what is essentially a comedy act. I think my preference would be to keep her on TV but out of the title picture, to expand the footprint of the women's division. But I never understand AEW's priorities with the women, so I can't predict this one.

Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland - This is billed as a Texas death match, and I always forget exactly which version of the rules AEW uses. I think you can win by submission or if your opponent stays down for a ten-count. Regardless, the main idea is that the wrestlers can brawl all over the place and use all sorts of weapons.

These two had a big match on October 1, which Strickland won. For some reason that didn't end the feud, so Strickland upped the ante by invading Page's home, so now Page is out for blood. I wasn't wild about the build to the first match, and this time the whole thing feels even more superfluous. Page hit the nail on the head in one of his promos--Strickland should have taken the win in their first match, and moved on to chasing the world title, but instead they're still fighting each other for no particularly good reason.

I can't see Page losing this match, but I also don't see the point of doing this feud if Strickland isn't going to get the last laugh. So something tells me this match won't settle anything, and they'll run it back again next month.

Ricky Starks & Big Bill vs. Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler vs. Malakai Black & Brody King vs. Rush & Dralistico - Starks and Bill are putting the AEW tag championship up for grabs. This is a ladder match, so the tag belts will be hung above the ring and ladders will be placed at ringside--the only rule is that the first man to pull down the belts will win the match and the tag title for his team. In theory you'd need to climb a ladder to get the belts, but something tells me Ricky will try standing on Bill's shoulders at least once.

FTR (Dax and Cash) lost the tag title to Starks and Bill on October 7, so they're trying to reclaim the gold. The Kings of the Black Throne (Black and King) seem to have targeted FTR, although they've also targeted half a dozen other people. Case in point, they gave La Faccion Ingobernable enough grief that they kinda turned babyface to help FTR, so Rush and Dralistico are here to represent LFI.

It probably doesn't make a big difference who wins this match, because I expect the winners to be underdogs when they defend against the winners of tonight's Young Bucks-Golden Jets match. So yeah, let's just go with Starks and Bill to retain.

Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart vs. Skye Blue - This is a three-way, so the first woman to score a fall will win the match and Statlander's AEW TBS title. I like all three women, but this match seems kind of pointless. Hart beat Blue on September 20, Statlander beat Hart on October 1, and Statlander beat Blue on October 14. Julia qualified for this match by beating Willow Nightingale (whom Statlander already beat) and Skye qualified by beating Red Velvet (who never beats anybody). This is why the women's division needs to have more depth, people.

The only good reason to do this match is that Julia sprayed Skye in the face with black mist. Everybody figured Blue would then turn to the dark side, but thus far she seems to not like Julia or Kris. So it's not clear where any of this is going, and we just have to hope doing this match will settle it somehow.

I get the feeling they've got an idea to do a title change here. I'd be cool with Hart or Blue getting the big win, although I'd prefer to see it happen in a straight one-on-one victory. I guess I'll root for Julia, since she's been killin' it lately.

Eddie Kingston vs. Jay Lethal - This is set for the pre-show. Kingston lost a Memphis street fight to Jeff Jarrett on October 21, which means he has to defend the ROH men's world title against Lethal, because nothing in the Jarrettverse makes any fucking sense. Eddie is also the STRONG men's champion, but that title isn't at stake here. I'm sure the heels will do all their usual cheap heat shit, and it won't matter and Eddie will just clobber them to retain. But...I suppose Lethal could win to set up a rematch at the ROH pay-per-view next month. So you never know.

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Buddy Matthews - Another pre-show match. Basically Buddy was clobbering Wheeler Yuta last night and Claudio ran in for the save and issued a challenge for this match. I assume this is leading to Claudio, Yuta, and Jon Moxley vs. Buddy, Malakai Black, and Brody King eventually, but they sure aren't in a hurry to get there. Claudio will probably win here.

MJF & Samoa Joe vs. Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn - The Gunns are challenging for the ROH tag title in the pre-show. MJF and Adam Cole are the titleholders, although Cole has been sidelined with an ankle injury since September 20. Max insists on defending the title until Cole returns, and Joe has graciously offered to help him in exchange for an AEW men's world title match. I wouldn't give the Gunns very good odds against either MJF or Joe, but against MJF and Joe they haven't got a prayer.

To many these are just seemingly meaningless numbers, but as AEW’s Jim Ross explained on the Grilling JR podcast, these numbers are what attracts significant advertisers:

“That’s why everybody lives and dies on the 18-49 ratings,” Ross said. “A lot of people don’t understand why that number is so important to cultivate and monitor. That’s what the networks sell, their ad sales target 18-49-year-old people. That’s why the 18-49 number is so important for all advertisers.”

It's been like this for 70 years, guys. CW was always the weirdo since the Netflix deal because of the licensing games that are now defunct.

Before we jump into TV ratings, it’s important to know the different ways channels make money. While all these services gain revenue through various means, the main difference is that broadcast networks and cable (TNT, AMC, USA, etc.) profit by selling advertising space during programming while premium cable and streamers rely on subscriptions. All channels use viewer analytics to decide if a TV show is profitable and worth keeping on their schedules, but how the data is gathered and parsed depends on the platform. (...) Adults ages 18-49 are known as the key demographic because advertisers believe they have the most disposable income and least brand loyalty, which may make them more susceptible to advertising.

Even if their top partners and presidents hadn't said 18-49, which they HAVE, anyone that knows anything about the industry AT ALL would goddamn KNOW the second they said they're going to make it a profitable network like its competitors, that they were going to require 18-49. Everything else is bitter fan delusions, self consolation, and pipe dreams. It's rocking back and forth, telling themselves it'll be okay, and that after all their years of untouched privilege protected by Pedowitz's licensing game, that somehow, the world is going to conform to protect them here, too.

And. lmao no. They may COMPROMISE on something like 18-54 to give Walker a renancel but if you think they're gonna fight to keep the audience that literally makes them shit for money, you're nuts. And scaling it 18-54 actually greatly devalues the 18-49 in result, but tries to give a leg up to the past-key-demo viewership and inflate its value in exchange, so it STILL devalues that slot vs an 18-49 performer. People get older, not younger. Those people just get further and further away from demo each year. The idea of stringing Walker out beyond the generosity of a renancel is genuinely funny. They're already stretching to try to include 54. And in 2 years those people will be 56 and the 49 year olds IN demo are gonna be 51. What are they gonna do, keep compromising on their profit to keep Jared Padalecki and his 20 twitter stans happy?

Brian Cage has been an enormous a part of Tony Khan's Ring of Honor promotion. Nevertheless, it has been fairly a while since he appeared on AEW programming. Talking on a current version of Keepin' It 100, Konnan gave his tackle Cage's absence and the potential of TNT forcing AEW to maintain the 38-year-old star off tv. The previous FTW Champion's final match on AEW TV was towards Ricky Starks. The 2 stars had been beforehand a part of the Group Taz faction alongside Powerhouse Hobbs and HOOK. Konnan just lately defined if Cage's absence had something to do along with his feedback on the Darkish Facet of The Ring episode based mostly on Chris Kanyon. "Man, what is the large deal? You realize a man for all these years and then you definately discover out he is homosexual and you are like, 'What the f**ok?' and that is primary. Quantity two, such as you mentioned they had been nice pals, he appeared as much as him and he patterned his model after him and you realize, you are gonna preserve a expertise like that off of TV due to this? And once more, it goes again to all this political correctness the place different persons are offended for us, you realize, is there an outpouring of individuals saying, 'Hey, haven't got Brian Cage on the present'? So why are you doing this?" mentioned Konnan [0:58-1:29] Konnan just lately defined if Brian Cage's absence has acquired something to do along with his spouse Melissa Santos Brian Cage's spouse Melissa Santos has been fairly vocal relating to her husband on social media. Talking beforehand on Keepin' It 100, Konnan defined if Cage's spouse's feedback on Twitter had something to do along with his push. He mentioned: "I feel it’s due to his spouse getting on f**king Twitter and bashing the corporate and them telling him ‘hey management her’ and he didn’t or he couldn’t and I feel that acquired him warmth.” Konan additional defined why he thought it was a double normal transfer. The WCW veteran added: “It's a double-standard, however double-standards, and as Arn Anderson so superbly mentioned ‘triple-standards are at all times invoked.’ Identical to that aircraft experience from hell [episode of Dark Side of the Ring], why didn’t they do something to Ric Aptitude? As a result of Jim Ross mentioned on the factor, ‘he’s a made man.’ There are double requirements, and Brian Cage is a sufferer of it, and the man’s a f**king star, a stud, individuals like him he’s over and it’s a disgrace they don’t use him proper." Cage is at the moment a part of the Embassy faction. The group just lately recruited a brand new supervisor within the type of Prince Nana. Please credit score Keepin' It 100 and provides a H/T to Sportskeeda Wrestling when utilizing quotes from this text.A WWE veteran labeled CM Punk as 'unprofessional' for his current actions in AEW.
