It's something Meltzer has explicitly copped to and I think holds true for a lot of media pundits as well: the Fed gets rated on a sliding scale relative only to itself. Guys can wrestle like trash and it only matters in the context of other recent Fed events, not the broader competitive field.

How is Rollins being beyond washed physically not the big narrative coming out of this match? He's moving like Hiroshi Tanahashi without the restraint of picking his spots. (Reigns isn't exactly moving well, either, and his offense also looks like shit.)

He is the Ace of AEW. That man lifted up everyone in it, the locker room, the fans, and helped elevate a fledgling company in and of itself, when fragile minds, fragile bodies, and fragile egos threw tantrums in the back.

Everywhere that dude goes, people are better for it. He advocated for better pay for indie wrestlers. He's mentored and elevated countless wrestlers in AEW. He went and kicked ass IN THE G1, a relentlessly grueling, and badass tournament, one of the best hallmarks of pro wrestling.

Jon Moxley left a secure but boring gig to help pioneer a revolution that would change the world. He shocked the world by showing up at the first Double or Nothing, living AEW from Day One. He went to NJPW. He went to GCW. He toured the world of pro wrestling, because he lives & breathes that shit

They're literally baiting the idiots who still watch their garbage with the implication of a "Dean Ambrose" return that has no chance of happening, they are relying on Moxley to make people give a shit about Rollins and Reigns when Moxley doesn't fucking work there anymore.

If I had a dime for every time that the feds investigated WWE for sex trafficking, I'd have two dimes, but it's really weird that it's happened twice.
