This is the Busted Open Podcast.
What is the state of AEW after Double or Nothing?
Coming off of Dynamite's Double or Nothing pay-per-view, they kind of switched gears. I liked what I saw because it was like Dynamite, I'm sorry, Double or Nothing ended the majority of the feuds, and now we have a whole... next place where we're gonna go and uh philly brought the energy for most of the show they were tired it is a work night a little different from memorial day weekend um and they have seen a lot of lot of action i'll start right off the bat with uh what i love about professional wrestling um Yes, we had really good wrestling, but the promos hooked me a lot tonight. And the better part to what we do to set up feuds is what we just had or the last thing we saw. Obviously, at Double or Nothing, we have a new world champion in MJF.
But the bigger, more concerning news was Kevin Knight attacking Darby Allin while laid out on a stretcher, splashing him. And for what reason? It had me a little baffled. I had MJF a little baffled, and we opened the show with it. Kevin Knight got a round of booze, so good for you. The AEW sickos don't like you. And you went out there and you got some heat. And you explained your why, why he did what he did to Darby Allin. Again, that was exactly how he kind of phrased it. Everyone's been talking about it. I was thinking about it. And he told me why. Darby let him down. Darby let the fans down. And I told you, Darby, don't do that. And you kind of put this whole scenario of why... He is now bad. I had said once I saw Kevin Knight.
Kevin Knight's an amazing wrestler. And the more promo time he got, as a babyface talking about yourself in the third person, as the Jet, will start to rub people wrong. But I like that he got comfortable and he was kind of doing... all of this before um so you've gone from good to bad because of your dynamic wrestling skills if you continue to go the path of good they'll pro i mean bad they'll probably then start cheering for you but right now we're in the heel part and when i say cheering for you i'm hoping you have a nice two-year run as a as a top baby face looks the part talks the part acting the part Still has to get a little bit comfortable in that heel road and that heel... tone and vernacular.
I liked how he was, you know, switching it up, but learn from the great ones. And you have a lot of great real people in that company who know how to be heels and get heat. But I thought Kevin Knight on his first real heel promo did an excellent job. And then of course, who's going to interrupt him of him telling him his why is his old partner. Speedball, Mike Bailey. Wearing, I would guess, it's a business casual gi. Different attire, but Mike Bailey will always be different. Interesting, I liked it. Wonder if it comes in a triple X. Uh, they have their words, their friends, and Mike goes a different approach. And Mike is a really, really good guy. He really and truly is in, in real life. Um, loves the business.
And this is a real, like I got real, cause I've had many conversations with Mike, but I've had, I got like real vibes from him as a friend. Like, Hey dude, like I don't, Agree what you did to Darby. And all you got to do is apologize. I also love that the commentators were like, you know, these guys were very successful as a tag team. And they were. And could have gone higher lengths as a tag team. But obviously, you know, this is Kevin Knight's time in Kevin Knight's mind. And Kevin Knight's kind of hearing him out, hearing him out. And then walks away, nice little shove. Mike's like being the ultimate baby face. And then he gets attacked and beat up for his niceness. And I did like that Kevin Knight also had reluctancy because he was like, God, I just beat up pretty much my last friend.
And that trepidation that there's no going back. And when you become that bad guy, you have to do such bad things.
