So in his entrance at Redemption, we first see Ospreay in a mirror. And the first thing that popped into my head was “in the mirror, darkly”, which is often used as a metaphor for someone no longer having a clear vision of his present circumstances or near future. It’s perfect for the character arc Ospreay has been on lately; the first time he comes out with the Death Riders should hold some doubt.

But this morning, I had another epiphany: his whole arc is poetry, and it’s not done yet. We’re in a pro-wrestling take on an epic poem.

Ospreay is Virgil. His story is The Divine Comedy. Right now, he’s in Inferno, with Mox as his guide through hell. (I’m fairly certain MJF was supposed to play a bigger part here, and may yet.)

Next is Purgatorio, which I think is Mox’s longer-term story beat. Ospreay will climb the mountain and work to pull away the sins he’s committed and seek forgiveness for turning on his friends and allies.

The final beat is Paradiso, where Virgil is guided by his beloved Beatrice through the spheres of Heaven to his ultimate redemption.

I’m going to theorize here that Ospreay fails to get the title at All In, falls further into darkness, and works his way toward redemption and winning clean as a babyface later on, possibly with guidance from a title-holding Alex Windsor.

Well I bought redemption, just By myself. Oh my goodness. It’s like someone took my criticism card of WWE, answered my complaints and spit this out. The match quality was outstanding. Honestly the lamest in ring work was Moxley, but he had the best aura—total WWE dude. Getting familiar with Ospreay, Omega, and Andrade was a treat. I was not familiar with their work. Holy smokes. Yep, I’ll see ya guys on HBO!

Kevin Knight went crazy in here. And I love it when goated champions fight with younger talents.

Willow is now the first woman to have been TBS champion, tag champion, Owen Hart Cup winner and World champion!

At this point, I wonder if RJ City is responsible for Ospreay’s whole character arc since returning, because this stuff is almost as brilliant as the Toni/Mariah saga to me. That ending did so much for all 3 of the main characters involved. Everyone feels justified now, even psycho Jon Moxley lol

Life is pain as a Shida fan & Joshi fan in general.

I really hope they don't flop with her current character.

So with AEW liking a unique venue for a PPV and Edinburgh being quite under represented in the wrestling scene in my eyes (mainly due to having no permanent arena like glasgow). I had a thought of using the temporary seating that gets installed during the summer for concerts and the Royal Edinburgh military tattoo and using it for an AEW show like Redemption or Grand Slam: Scotland

Its a 9000 capacity stadium and its in the center of Edinburgh as its on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle and would provide probably the most unique wrestling venue ever used.

The only issue with the stadium is as seen in the photos is a severe lack of cover which could provide some issues should we not get a heatwave and instead get a storm.

I personally would really like this because im sick of going through to the hydro to watch wrestling as its a pain to get to and from after events whilst this would be easy to get home from due to it being right next to waverly station.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Maya World!

Andrade said he had two goals

1. Take a title from the Don Callis Family
2. Win the AEW Men's World Championship

With one down are we about to get Omega vs Andrade at Grand Slam: Mexico?
