That's hilarious I saw Marv Albert trending on twitter and was wondering why but I was so caught up in the game
I couldn't be bothered to check and I was also watching the local feed instead of TNT because I can't stand Chris Webber.

That's awesome though that TNT is giving major publicity for AEW it's a good sign to see how committed they are.
As for Jericho it's almost bad karma getting him for all the trash he's talked on twitter lately lol

The biggest news about Double Or Nothing is the actual TV rating with it being rated TV-14! You can get away with so much more compared to boring ass PG garbage!

There’s way more words you can use to express yourself and it sells the feuds better. You can show more violence. You can show more tits and ass it's basically way **** better IMO.

I don't even know the majority of the damn roster and i am really excited about wrestling for the 1st time in like 20 years - Lets hope it delivers!

All we need now is for Vince russo to be on the booking committee

I think you'd hope for a hotter crowd for the first match. There's a lot of sitting, staring and waiting for things to happen.

Good to hear JR's voice again. Disappointed in the battle royal. Was hoping for a big surprise or two. No one has really stood out to me so far as having "it"

So far my favorite is smiley Kylie because she has a gimmick.

I'm sure this will change once television is involved but this show is hard to get into with no heel/face dynamic. The crowd is into everybody and everybody is over which is great, but there's no natural drama.

Jim Ross was a terrible choice for this show. You need someone that sounds invested in the product.

Awesome Kong is a big time get for AEW. And she looks great.

JR will grow into the role I think. Tough in a show like this when there's not really any stories to tell. Just spots. He was much better in the Cody/Dustin match.

I must say, I hated the blood in that match. It didn't add anything to it. Would've been a good match without it. Just gross.

I beg to differ. I thought it added a ton of dramatics to the match

And as soon as Bret revealed it, the AEW twitter account should have released a high def posed photo.

I've seen him several times at a local independent (AAW). Great company. Produced guys like Rollins, Gargano, Ciampa, Fish and O'Reilly, etc. In fact the footage they showed pre-match for this lucha Bros/Bucks match, I was at that show!! Their interference that night cost lucha Bros the aaw tag belts to LAX
