Omega/Okada is a match I never thought I would see main eventing an American stadium.

AEW fucking rocks.

I was a little afraid Moné was going to take the belt and Storm was going to end up in the tag division with Mina as her partner. So glad that's not the case.

I think the story is Swerve.

Must be bad if they vacated the belt instead of doing an interim title. Hopefully Cole gets better soon.

Sure, but I'd expect Guile and Akuma, at least, to be speaking roles.

Though I suppose Akuma really doesn't speak much, and is more about his physicality.

Are they just casting wrestlers for all the fighters?

Honestly, it does make a certain amount of sense, but screen acting is a very different beast than wrestling acting.

In most versions, Krypton isn't destroyed by a civil war, but an ecological disaster. But your point still stands.

That last part is literally a plot point in Superman Smashes the Klan. Through most of the book, he avoids flying and heat vision for fear it will other him too much.

Perhaps, but less cynically.

All Star Superman is kind of my yardstick for a great Superman story. It gives Superman a challenge he can't simply punch his way out of, and spends most of its time simply exploring how he moves through the world.

IIRC, Ospreay has an ownership stake in EVE and is doing some work for them as a producer and a commentator, so he's probably the bridge between the two companies.

This isn't so much an explanation as a lot of corporate buzzwords in a trenchcoat.

AFAICT, his "explanation" is that he fired her specifically because she's been loyal to them and was doing a good job?

I'd agree if this was a different show, but this is All In. This is not the show you end with the Death Riders standing tall. This is the show you end with the hero redeemed and saving AEW from their clutches, and holding the title belt aloft for the first time in months.
