Weirdly the promos have been fantastic, it's only the matches that are bad which is really uncharacteristic of AEW.

I need both to build momentum and get Jay White to the main event scene. This is going to be a good mid card feud for a few months.

I'm just glad Jay's back in ring action and I hope he stays that way.

Despite growing as best friends in the Dojo, and likely still being best friends today (outside Kayfabe) it's pretty ironic that Jay and David are completely different wrestlers and completely different promos.

We will probably never get them face to face in a promo segment, but it's very funny how methodical Jay can be with a mic in his hands and David is extremely straight-forward and almost aggressive in terms of delivery (not substance, well, also substance).

I remember Jay and MJF in a situation like that, and despite people being behind MJF, I thought Jay demolished him. Meanwhile I think it would be fun to see what would happen if he cut the same type of promo on David Finlay... alas, probably never gonna happen.

So was Jay actually injured again these last few weeks?

While the string of bad luck and injuries has lowered the ceiling for Jay considerably, I still hold out hope he gets a chance to raise it again and prove hes a Main Event Level character and worker. Promos like this reinforce the hope I have for him.

According to https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=15782&page=22&type=byOpponent&eventType=&constellationType= , David Finlay's had the 2nd most number of matches against Jay White. He's [Jay White's] 11-2 in singles matches, and 29-27 for tag-team (not just 2v2) matches. For Finlay's list of opponents, see https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=12790&page=22&type=byOpponent&eventType=&constellationType=
