Man, even though I appreciate him for what he is, I just don't love Darby as a potential champ

He is a guy who should at some point be rewarded with a world championship as he is both a fan favorite and someone who has done a lot for the company.

But I do agree he isn't someone that should be the guy. Transitional champ to be fed to whomever you want to be the next super heel

I gotta say AJ is not a bad promo. He gets the basics, he never forgot to not only name the show in the build, but also the building.

And Big Justice reacted to every sentence when AJ was talking over the build which is basic.

AJ also has solid worked punches.

Again all basic stuff but there are lots of indie guys who flat out don't have those fundamentals
 
Also I think a lot of wrestlers could learn a lot from that.

Super duper simple but the crowd was eating it the f*** up. Simple spots telling a classic heel/face storyline.

Sometimes it's all you need
 
HOB getting live music intro......before winning the tag titles?

...and the end of The Acclaimed all in one match?

There has to be a big swerve or reveal at full gear for the Moxley group. Is Shane revealed as the puppet mater behind the scenes? The angle is getting boring and it needs something to spice it up.

I don't think bringing Shane in is the solution. With that said, if Shane is going to take over the group they should turn on Moxley.

If Shane is coming in and they turn on Mox, Orange needs to beat Moxley to pay off the angle because then Mox can endorse the win as the payoff to what he was trying to accomplish.

Then Christian cashes in, Mox's group turns on him and helps Christian, and Shane is revealed as the mastermind. They can keep doing lame evil authority/proto-invasion angles.

I agree in theory but there was nothing to learn from it. It was a super polite crowd that wanted it to work. QT wanted to have his Bret Hart VS Tom Magee moment. I suspect that the entire match was rehearsed start to finish.

I understand what you're getting at with the psychology aspect and less is more, but I don't think doing less in front of a receptive and polite crowd should be mistaken for psychology. Ironically, they tried to do way more than the Boom boom guy was capable of rather than keeping it simple.

When I look at what you're taking about, I look at someone like Jerry Lawler as the peak of that. At 60 something years old he got so over doing simple psychology based matches that he got himself over enough that they probably could have headlined WrestleMania with Lawler against the Miz.
 
Are we thanking him later for officially reuniting the trio from NXT?

or not.......
