4 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (June 23)

Downs...

3. Commentators…SHOOSH!

WARNING: Two of these 'Downs' include serious nitpicking. Sorry in advance!

Yours truly just found himself wishing Excalibur and Chris Jericho would take the latter's catchphrase advice and "shut the hell up" though. Both nonsensically babbled during MJF's half-hearted bid to save Adam Cole from an in-ring kicking. Christ knows why they felt the need to do that.

MJF's promo was not the time to talk about both he and Cole being forced into teaming up together. Anyone tuning into Rampage likely already knew that anyway, and there were plenty of gaps for the announcers to get their sh*t in. Pick your moments, guys!

Again, this is the smallest of small gripes, but Friday was literally MJF's first appearance on Rampage. Jericho and Excalibur were talking over one of the best promo guys in the industry like he was some scrub who didn't even matter.

Someone call Chad Gable, please.
