At this point I'm treating this like the way the Rumble used to be, when they didn't announce like 29 of the entrants. So I'm kind of ignoring what matches aren't happening for one reason or another, who's out, who's in. It's going to be a LONG two shows. May as well have some fun with being totally bewildered by some things. Yeah, I suppose they may re-shoot some studio promos or stuff for a few things, but I'm going to try to go through this like a total casual.
If you need a good laugh during these quarantine times, this thread on reddit has been great/cursed

Listened to Jim Ross a bit on WOR and it sounded like he was going stir crazy not being able to work. He said Tony Khan wouldn’t let him fly in for events because he is at risk due to his age. He compared it to when his wife Jan died and he became isolated and he hated it then but he could escape with work. Now he is isolated and can’t escape with work. It got me thinking about all these people in the older generations who are facing extreme boredom and depression in isolation. They aren’t the Internet/video game/pop culture generation that just rolls with it. It must be hell for them.
I know a lot of people my age (30) who can't handle the isolation and boredom so it's not just the internet age.
Not everyone can just play video games for days like I can D:
AEW is adding a new belt, the TNT championship.
8 man single elim tournament starting next week to crown the first champ, final match will be at Double or Nothing (assuming that still happens)
New Jack is such a disgusting piece of shit. I don’t think I knew about the Gypsy Joe incident.
I’m not sure i understand, i didn’t see raw last night either lol
Is that their way of getting a "live crowd"?
Gross. I don't wanna see that.
They would sometimes put those VR cameras at ringside for big events so people using headsets could watch “from ringside”, I think that would be a better option than this.
My vote goes for using the match music from 25 year old wrestling video games.
But I'm totally ok with this idea if it ends up with the people starting dumbass chants, because if you're going to go with a terrible idea, may as well make it as bad as possible. We are awesome! Clap clap clap clap clap
AEW once again giving us a fun week.
Yeah I’m loving the vibe they’re building with the empty arenas.
The Jericho promo was 1000% gold.
“Call the hounds!!” *cute doggos* lmao
Jericho acting as the straight man to all the Hardy weirdness is fantastic.
And wearing jeans in a hot tub, my god
Oh and watching Lancer Archer just ragdoll Marko around the ring was fucking hilarious
