Dive straight into AEW Dynamite: Coach was “forced” to watch and is baffled by Hangman Page’s promo for a Texas Death Match with Moxley. Russo dishes on the lack of logic and rehearsal in AEW’s promo structure—why isn’t Tony Khan (or anyone) guiding talent?
05:47 – 10:29
AEW women’s division under fire: Mercedes Moné’s five title belts entrance draws heat from Coach and Russo. They ask: if everyone’s a champ, does any belt matter? Russo brings up writing fundamentals and the importance of making titles special, not just props.
10:30 – 15:36
Coach and Russo critique AEW’s women’s booking and the perils of “favorites” in wrestling locker rooms. Vince emphasizes the necessity of even playing fields and warns about “marks leading the marks.” Why is no one learning the old-school way, and how does this erode the product’s foundation?
