I think it was one of the best shows I've seen in a while, and they've been putting out some really good ones lately. I can't describe it, but something about their storytelling is far more compelling right now. I know when AEW isn't hot, it feels sometimes like they're mailing it in with most of the stories on the show, just doing good matches then interrupted interviews all show, but they've got a good variety and storylines that actually make you want to tune in right now.

Also, Eddie Kingston is an absolute top-5 promo of all time, I don't care if that sounds ridiculous given some of the competition out there in the 'all-time' category. Nobody matches his pure emotion and ability to make you fully believe that he believes every word he's saying.
