Supposedly Cole has been wrestling with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Kind of nuts that he was even out there. As for the match...

I was able to go back and watch most of the matches and some highlights from Forbidden door. I'm now sad that I wasn't home to watch it live.
Ospreay vs Cassidy was fantastic. The only thing that didn't really click for me was Rosa vs Storm..not sure why.
In any event Blood and guts tonight..and as usual AEW puts out great hype videos for their shows.

Idk what has been up with Thunder Rosa, but other than her matches with Britt and Serena Deeb, her reign and matches have been average at best and awful at their worst.
There were rumors that she was dealing with some sort of injury around the time that she won the belt, so perhaps that is affecting it, but it's been kinda rough to watch.
They certainly have an issue that there aren't many viable heels to work with her. They already went through Nyla Rose, Britt is played out, Jade is rightfully isolated in the Tbs title scene, Kiera Hogan and Red Velvet (who is injured) are obviously tied up there too... Shaffir sucks, Tay isn't wrestling for some reason... Bunny and Penelope Ford are both injured iirc.. It's not good.

They promote the women zero basically. If it's not DMD, they get hardly any real exposure.

I think part of the problem is outside of Jade and Britt...and maybe Toni.. none of the women can cut a promo. Maybe Athena now too I guess since she is there. Statlander is getting better at it without her Alien gimmick now little by little.
Deeb for as great of a wrestler as she is..she can't get any fan reaction really even when they let her talk. Tay should actually be wrestling rather than being Sammy's side kick. The Bunny had gotten better but then I think got injured.
They could certainly do a better job though of giving the women more time on shows other than Dark or Elevation. They get the same timespot on Dynamite basically every week.

They need to put more effort into the women but also there just aren't enough quality wrestlers or promos to go around.
And with half the heels being hurt and most of the rest tied up in one faction/belt... There's not much to work with.
Statlander has improved a ton since returning from injury and dumping the stupid alien gimmick was great... But once again, she's a face... Other than Jade and Britt, all their top women are faces.
Idk if there is anyone really noteworthy that is appearing on Dark either who could fit the bill.
Obviously Sahffir is NOT the one. Tay Conti has barely wrestled of late... Maybe they can get her involved?
I'm not sure what the solution is. They do need more time, but they also need to be worth that time.

Max Caster + The Ass Boys vs FTRhausen. Wasn't expecting that. Not complaining either.

Any idea what happened to Santana? He was noticeably absent from the post match party on top of the cage. I kinda lost track of what happened to him.

Also orange Cassidy won with a bodyslam tonight. I know it was after two Superman punches or whatever but still. Huge pop for a bodyslam.
OC is the perfect Babyface who is always over and never needs the belt.

When he first came in he did some sort of backbreaker type move and looked like he **** his knee up.Any idea what happened to Santana? He was noticeably absent from the post match party on top of the cage. I kinda lost track of what happened to him.

Perhaps one of the most insane things was Claudio, after being in the match for like 50 minutes climbs the cage, AND does the big swing on Jericho on top of the cage. Can't even fathom the level of endurance one would need for that.

This is unfortunate if true...

It feels like whatever, they really were never given a major change to shine when tying them to the inner circle right away. I really don't like what Jericho has been doing with this group, and I didn't like them in it.

Thats the thing, they were never really given a chance to do anything away from Jericho. Even when they were in the inner circle, they used Jericho and Sammy or MJF instead for the tag matches which made zero sense. Maybe this has been an issue for a long time and that was why? Either way it seems like we're not going to get that now. Santana is likely injured anyway so I guess it's probably moot.
I would have liked to see them on their own in the tag division but guess it wasn't meant to be.

Blame lays with Vince. He has nearly zero trust in talent.

Just watched his and Parker's promos on youtube. That kind of stuff is what really sells feuds and pro wrestling in general to me. The wrestling matters, but the stories and promo's matter almost as much.
