Do you get déjà vu?

If it turns out Kyle Fletcher really did accidentally concuss Adam Cole, i'd just like to point out that Hangman got a concussion via a lariat from Mox, too. So don't go starting shit about how kyle fletcher is dangerous in the ring.

Wrestling is high risk. Even the simple stuff. Things go wrong and accidents happen and you need to stop blaming wrestlers for when they get injured or need time off.

A lot of people (X/Twitter) are blaming or criticizing Tony Khan for having Adam Cole announce his semi-retirement on the All In PPV instead of in a press release and having Dustin Rhodes win the TNT Title, blaming Adam Cole for announce his semi retirement before the match which made people down and couldn't enjoy the match, blaming Kyle Fletcher for delivering that nasty bomb to Adam onto the apron, blaming Dustin for winning the TNT championship... I lost count of how many people were blaming everyone there.

First of all, I checked their profiles. Most of the time, they AREN'T AEW fans, so I don't get why they are blaming what happened from the PPV that they weren't supposed to watch because they hate AEW?

Second of all, Adam didn't know that he wasn't cleared to fight on THE DAY of the match. When he and Tony found out, Tony asked him whether he wanted to announce it via the usual thing, but because this was All In, Adam didn't want to let everyone down. He decided to announce it and poured his heart out, thanking the fans. He has the right and the heart to do this. Don't be mean and rude, people.

Third, people are calling Fletcher dumb. Listen, accidents happen. Nobody wants this. Some of the matches are choreographed, but we really can't predict stuff. Obviously, they knew the risk and already had the safety precautions. Usually, after the match, Dr. Sampsons and the medical team will check the wrestlers for any injuries. Also, we really don't know whether it was the apron bomb that caused this. Harassing him on social media is rude and assholery.

Fourth, many people are blaming Dustin for winning the TNT belt. I really don't see the problem with this. Dustin is from Texas, it's his hometown where his family and friends were attending, this is gonna be his last hurrah probably, he's going to retire someday, and I feel it was the perfect venue to win a title and then defend it against Fletcher in the next PPV or wherever. I've seen worse wrestlers win a title (eg; Saraya in London - just because it was Wembley). It's obvious that he appreciates this and was really touched by the fans' reaction there. Don't ruin this.

Fifth, I really don't want to speculate much about what happened with Adam Cole. The official reason from some news media is that he suffered a concussion, and people are speculating that it is much worse than that. Now, those people who body-shamed Adam Cole in the past start the rumors again that it wasn't because of the concussion, but because of illness, because of how thin he looks. They say AIDS, cancer, Leukemia, and so on. STOP THIS RIGHT NOW. This is a personal matter. We don't have the right to stick our noses here. Just wish him well, and pray everything will be okay for the sake of his life and family. That's it. Send him encouraging thoughts and perhaps gifts to support him.

Sixth, some of the people are just cold-hearted bastards who said that they ruined the PPV because they paid for it. Goddamn, no semblance of empathy or sympathy for wrestlers, apparently. People throw money and say monkey dance, monkey dance! They are human beings, people. Their safety and health matter. Tony also has done the right thing and only spoke diplomatically. I am sure they already discussed this, and fans DEMANDING that they tell us everything is just an upsetting thing, IMO.

The TNT title match was in a rough situation, but I think they handled it well.

My hunch is Kyle Fletcher was going to beat Adam Cole for the title with Daniel Garcia possibly turning heel on Adam.

But Adam's illness/injury and the suggestion that it could be career-ending cast a weird vibe over the whole match.

You have something that is a for-real bummer, so you probably don't want the heel to win. But also, Kyle Fletcher is a guy who absolutely deserves to win, so he might have gotten cheers in victory just because the crowd wanted to lighten the mood.

There were some cool, underappreciated moments like Sammy and Danny trading Chris Jericho moves, since they know each other from their time in the Jericho Appreciation Society.

But I think Dustin winning does a lot of things. You get a feel-good moment after the heaviness with a deserving legend winning something. You can tease Sons of Texas tension, or show that Sammy is decent and supports Dustin, since we keep insisting on Sammy Guevara being a thing.

But more importantly, you can have heel-ass Kyle Fletcher ruin Dustin's last ride of glory by taking that belt at a later date when we are more in a mood to boo an asshole. You can also have Danny be a dick about it, if you want to continue that too.

It was a bad situation, but I can see how they made the most of it.

I cannot wait for Takeshita and Kyle to get sick of this crap.....
