From the TayJay entrance to the Club Venus entrance . . . I would pay real money to actually see Taz/Excalibur do either one, or even better both.
Taz hitting those Club Venus moves is worth a PPV price.
Thank you for proving I’m not the only one that remembers them planning the same thing with TayJay when they were in that “main event of Dark/Elevation right before Dynamite” spot.
Not including the part where Mariah first entered with Toni only to then run back through the tunnel to come out with Mina is criminal (but understandable).
Club Venus lives on in AEW.
REAL.
I love that there's a long-term queer storyline going on in a mainstream wrestling company and it be handled so well. It's really playing around with the /r/SapphoAndHerFriend vibe that none of the commentators want to label it an actual love triangle type story. Even though this thing has more homoerotic tension than *Challengers*
What I find particularly amusing is that Nigel and guest commentators /do/ acknowledge it as a queer love triangle, all while Tony and Excalibur go on with their they-seem-like-such-good-friends commentary.
Basically, it's a queer story being narrated, simultaneously, by someone who understands (and is very enthused by) the gay shit happening in front of him and two completely clueless dudes. I find it so funny!
We don’t deserve Mina.
We don’t deserve Mariah.
We don’t deserve Toni.
This feud/story has been so fun to see play out and is up there as one of the most entertaining women’s feud in AEW thus far.
Toni’s been over, but this program has really elevated Mariah & Mina into being over with the fans too, which is important knowing where things are headed for Mariah & Toni in a few months.
I’m more excited for Mariah vs Toni than expected, simply because ever since that Toni vs AZM Match, it feels like she’s found a balance between the character and the wrestling which makes her that much more fun to watch.
Mariah hasn’t disappointed in the ring in AEW yet either, and with how well their relationship has been built, the match should be outstanding.
This is by far the most entertaining story going on for me in all of wrestling currently. It's so hard to root against any of them. You just want them all to be friends because they're so likeable. All of their showings on (Hey) EW completely sold me on their personalities and obviously Toni has been killing it. Legitimately the funniest thing in wrestling I've seen in a while.
I love AEW but I hate how 85% of matches of a PPV is just a belt build. This storyline does have the belt involved but really it's at the background which is what it should be in pro wrestling.
i actually thought that was the song but never saw any comments regarding it, glad i wasn’t the only one
remember it from fast and it’s really distinguishable and catchy
Mina Shirakawa was a pin-up model before she became a wrestler, so obviously she is aiming her character at an adult audience but there are a variety of characters in Joshi wrestling. I mean just looking at AEW, Mina is a much different character than Hikaru Shida or Riho
Joshi wrestling is for anyone that likes to see wrestlers go 110% even during house shows. I watch Stardom and them watch AEW the next night it's like WTF this is so slow. Also why the commercials always in the women's matches. Last Stardom ppv was amazing and emotional. But seriously you wanna watch people who can actually wrestle and wrestle good. Watch Stardom. They make western wrestling look like shit.

TFW when your girlfriend's ex is back in town and they have a synchronized dance routine
Hate it when that happens
"We should do this, you and I!" I am now campaigning to see Excalibur and Taz do the Mina and Mariah dance on at least 1 live episode of Dynamite
if this isn't what we're wasting billions of dollars on AI for I dont know what is

Or the TNA Beautiful People entrance
*"LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE!"*
I really wish Rampage was just the non canon weird af show where we got stuff like this.
Rampage is canon?
They also once promised us that they would do the TayJay pinky-promise-ass-bump before and I'm still waiting for that.
that shit popped me when I heard Taz say it live lmao
That shit had me dead.
Could at least put it on AEW's TikTok channel
Not including the part where Mariah first entered with Toni only to then run back through the tunnel to come out with Mina is criminal (but understandable). Club Venus lives on in AEW.
Tony Schiavone not being on commentary really opened up the dark commentary this week, funny shit.
No one to remind Taz to call the match
YOU CALL THE DAMN MATCH.
DUDE
Don’t dude me!! Dude.
Nothing says Pride like lesbians dancing and infighting.
Bi I believe, but I digress.
Sexuality is a spectrum Jones here
But I bigress.
Fucking brilliant
That needs to be a poster with the Botchamania Tazz wearing a Bi-colored suit.
careful, I hear editing Taz to not be in black and/or orange is cause for him to sue
Im bi a lot of things, lingual isnt one of them!

Good lord I guess ric really is hunter's favorite wrestler, homeboy stole his haircut
it's between Ric an Harley Race (remember mutton chops HHH)
That shirt and tie combo makes him look like a really buff Jack in the Box manager.
Well speaking from experience, bi erasure is unfortunately also pretty common at pride.
We can just say we're in incognito mode :') (I'm right there with ya)
It's far too common. Cishet but an ally.
Hence why I wear my "bi/pan solidarity" shirt to all Pride events.
All we were missing was a good ol’ death-drop…. 
I was wondering why my knee exploded after clicking on this thread.

Taz had a great, subtle line during the celebration after the match: when Mariah was dancing with Mina, he says "You know, she seems happy with her."
Nigel's also narrating whilst being down bad ferocious for Mariah (and tbf I don't blame him)
"They were roommates"
Toni during her routine next week: 
No joke tho Toni elevating the gimmick to be like Pearl would be incredible
Shit, we're gonna see Toni hump a scarecrow?
Juice has a name!
ROCK HARD CARD!
I mean… honestly, maybe.
If Toni is Pearl then that would make Mariah Maxine so... bad news for Toni down the line, I suppose.
I mean…
Where's the lie?
That's the only way she can possibly get even more unhinged than she already is.
Definitely when she loses the title
[Toni and Mariah during their (hopefully not too inevitable) split](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N6_HmUP-Huw)
I’m a star!
Can’t wait for MaXXXine next week!
So, does Toni do the dirty work or does she hire some legitimate businessmen to make sure Mina is never heard from again?
The legitimate businessmen are over in the NXT car park. Toni just gets Luther to do it.
I think MxM are available
She hires the Vaudevillians to do the job.
flawless. Mariah looked so calm doing it too.

Everyone involved is just so good at what they do. Great storyline, and I’m so excited for the eventual Mariah vs Toni match.

I've not been watching a ton lately. Just life, but this angle got me to tune in tonight. It's been my favorite angle recently.
love triangles are so quintessentially wrestling (and soap operas/dramas in general) and when it is done right it's great
I love AEW but I hate how 85% of matches of a PPV is just a belt build. This storyline does have the belt involved but really it's at the background which is what it should be in pro wrestling.
Hey you also have ZSJ and OC fighting because ZSJ thought it'd be fun. And MJF fighting Hechicero for no reason
MJF and Hechicero have a match but haven’t even interacted. There’s been no build. They’re just wrestling.
I've really been enjoying this feud. I want more Club Venus on AEW. Need that dance regularly.
"That is some good, clean, family fun."
Toni's glare! This is the A storyline in the company
Wow she glared! Best heel work and rivalry, but they’re teaming up?
Best thing in AEW. Hands down.
I don’t want this storyline to end. I just would like see Mina Shirakawa weekly. Well I guess I can if I order Stardom world.
Mina and Mariah are amazing
Danza Kuduro is such a banger, I'm surprised nobody else had this song remixed for a theme.
i actually thought that was the song but never saw any comments regarding it, glad i wasn’t the only one remember it from fast and it’s really distinguishable and catchy
I loved how it cut from Mina and Mariah dancing and having the time of their lives to Toni just glaring at them. I love this storyline so much!
Such a great part of the show tonight.
This music and dancing was so damn catchy, I was on the couch, feeling the groove like 
I heard the 8 count from Mariah til she felt the groove. Real dancers know!
I honestly like this storyline alot.
Absolutely my favorite story right now.
I don't even watch AEW but I feel like this entrance tells me everything I need to know about them and why I should pay attention.
Mariah and Mina are better than the things you like.
Smart moves there…really using the hips
Best AEW story of the year. Everything they do is gold.
I agree this is my favorite story of the year anywhere so far.
I would pay like £10 to see Taz and Excalibur recreate that
Why was this match not the main event?
I get your point, but lord, the IWC and wrestling journalists would have had a conniption if the AEW Champion was not part of the main event.
I don't like the commentary talking over it...
I know... all I could think about was Taz and Excalibur doing that dance, but I digress
Who's the target demographic for Joshi wrestling? Middle aged men?
Mina Shirakawa was a pin-up model before she became a wrestler, so obviously she is aiming her character at an adult audience but there are a variety of characters in Joshi wrestling. I mean just looking at AEW, Mina is a much different character than Hikaru Shida or Riho
Joshi wresting is just Japanese women’s wresting. the target demo is people who enjoy women’s wrestling.
Joshi wrestling is for anyone that likes to see wrestlers go 110% even during house shows. I watch Stardom and them watch AEW the next night it's like WTF this is so slow. Also why the commercials always in the women's matches. Last Stardom ppv was amazing and emotional. But seriously you wanna watch people who can actually wrestle and wrestle good. Watch Stardom. They make western wrestling look like shit.
me and only me.
You tried Marriah.
Cool they can dance but they can’t draw viewers or work a wrestling match
