Ainsley and I come together to give their thoughts on WrestleDream, and AEW as a whole. From Edge's debut and Christian's response to whether or not "Face" MJF is drowning ... we got everything you need baby!
"EDGE" ADAM COPELAND MAKES HIS DEBUT IN AEW
We are both happy that Edge is back and doing the thing that he loves ... but we did not love how the debut was executed. The mini movie was dumb, and I was kind of disappointed it wasn't Kurt Russell who stepped out of the car.
"Edge didn't get all those treatments and get into shape to only wrestle 12 times a year."

MIKE'S SOLOTARY RANKING OF THE TOP 10 FACES AND TOP 10 HEELS IN ALL OF WRESTLING
DARBY ALLIN USES CHRISTIAN'S TURTLENECK AGAINST HIM
This is the Parks and Rec reference I made in regards to Christian Cage getting pinned after Darby Allin pulls his turtleneck up over his face.
The list of things that the TNT Championship is more prestigious than:
- All other wrestling titles ever
- All other sports trophies (Stanley Cup, Lombardi Trophy, MVPs, World Cup, Triple Crown)
- Any award that can be won in anything (Nobel prize, being a Rhodes Scholar, Presidential Metal of Honor, Personal Pan Pizza from the Book-It Award)
- Any prize in the universe or any universe (ie the infinity gauntlet, ect)
"Who wants to be ruler of the Multiverse when you can be the champion of The Big Bang Theory and Everybody Loves Raymond?"
-Detroit Mike
I'm not sure what was up with Zack Sabre Jr.'s face during the match, but his lack of selling kind of took me out of it a little.
"Sabre's face reminded me of Tyler Durden's speech to Ed Norton in Fight Club about the calm people on the crashing airplane."
-Detroit Mike
Sammy Guevara has grown on us as hosts of the show. He's very floaty, but does things very well, including being a jerk. Ainsley even said he's doing almost as good of work as her favorite "Love to Hate Them" Heel ... Michelle McCool
"...(Sammy Guevara) is like the Michelle McCool of AEW."
-Ainsley
I still don't 100% understand why everyone likes Hangman Adam Page so much. Maybe not the pro-Swerve Seattle crowd, but people seem to love this guy and I just don't get it. I feel bad because he's apparently a really great actual human, but he's fine. Maybe that's the story-arc of this season of 3 Count Radio ... can Hangman win over "Detroit" Mike?
"I feel about Hangman Page the way I felt about Bret Hart growing up. I can recognize he's a fine wrestler...but I just don't give a crap about him."
-Detroit Mike
Take a few minutes and watch Christian's Press Conference after his WrestleDream win.
I hope that MJF gets away from this kind of Bullcrap immediately ... his promos on the Dynamite before and after WrestleDream, and the promo on WrestleDream were all super cringey. Please don't turn into a Walmart version of "The Rock" on the microphone. Ainsley doesn't think it will, just that the crappy promos were a rare miss.
"During his promo with MJF, Jay White wiped the floor with him."
