I dunno if this is unpopular or not, but I think Jim Ross is done.
I love his work, but I would rather hear Excalibur and Tazz call the matches in AEW.
I miss Matt Stryker and Vampiro on the mike as well.

My unpopular opinion is that I’m totally fine with anyone kicking out of almost anything.
Sammy Guevara kicking out of a second rope tombstone by MJF? Sure. Canadian destroyer from the top of a ladder going through a table? Fine. Janela kicking out of the burning hammer on a chair? No problem.
When I have a problem is a super-finisher from the people associated with the move. No one should kick out of Taker or Kane giving a second rope Tombstone. Or Petey Williams’s Destroyer. Or Kobashi’s Burning Hammer. To me, it’s within kayfabe to say that the person associated with the move has perfected it, but someone else using it hasn’t quite got the technique down.

If that finishes the match then sure. Otherwise, what's the point? I also see them as better moves for the matches drama overall |

I think I had a entire thread about this before, but might as well reiterate it here:
Two entranceways makes more kayfabe sense than one, even if they both go to the same place. Why would opponents be sharing a dressing room if it's legit?
Side-opinion but related: AEW should have match participants alternate which entrance they come out of instead of having "heel" and "face" sides. If they had red/blue corners like most Japanese promotions this wouldn't be an issue. One entrance is the red corner, the other is the blue corner. A single entranceway is acceptable if the venue cannot support two or if it's a large event and there's a stage of some kind.
I didn't always have this opinion, but in the past few years I've had more exposure to puroresu and AEW's dual entranceways.

And two entrance ways just are cooler in general, well in my opinion but I do agree with everything you’re saying. |
