Re: All Elite Wrestling Discussion II
I see a lot of people online complaining about Darby’s bump.
I don’t mind it. It was impactful and played into the match for sure. Like tacks, I’m assuming the blood was mostly superficial. I know they use the specialized glass also.

To me the criticism is more on TK for allowing it to happen live in an uncontrolled situation. They were one shard of glass away from a crippling lawsuit.

Wardlow has been pretty nice as a promo lately. He would fit well in WWE.

Apparently there are reports of several fans for sustained small injuries. It wasn't thought through and it was stupid to do so close to the ringjakecronus8 wrote:heatwillbeback wrote:I see a lot of people online complaining about Darby’s bump.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Discussion II
Yet AEW has arguably, or really is there an argument, the 3 best wrestlers in the sport. Okada, Ospreay, and Bryan

While it's hard to turn them down if they have unlimited pockets, is getting 2 more guys Meltzer will give ****** 1/2 ratings really what's separating AEW's ratings from WWE. A 64 year old guy was more over than almost everyone on their roster showing it's not just about in ring ability.

If the 2 guys are Ospray and Okada, it matters. Those guys are incredibly talented, and Ospray has the mic chops too.
Wwe has Roman, Gunther, and Cody. The first 2 are getting stale because of the never ending title run.

AEW will continue to flounder no matter what free agents they sign. Unless Tony hands the reigns over to someone who knows what they’re doing nothing will change. Their audience is their audience. Guys with Indy buzz won’t change anything. Ospreay’s first match on tv actually lost ratings.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Discussion II
Do you need a TNA belt, continental belt, international belt, plus Kingston may be defending ROH belt on prime tv spots as long as he's champion. The international belt is going to be buried after OC set it up as the prime workhouse belt and feel like Roddy's NXT cruiserweight reign, except it can't be the cruiserweight title really since I had the FTW as unofficially. Then again Hook took Jericho to suplex city which is not very cruiserweight belt like.

Great episode of Dynamite. Ospreay and Swerve are the present and future, just flat out stars in the ring and the way they carry themselves.
Young Bucks are the right kind of heel annoying.

I prefer him to Ospraey but I wonder if he fits AEW's spotfest style as much.

I assume she's going to face Skye or something at Dynasty but not sure why Mercedes is in a 2-3 month build for midcard belt. I think they should've just made her women's champion in her 2nd big match, like Dolph going to TNA where they gave him one feud against a veteran guy who didn't want him there and is now in title picture. Toni time can end anytime.

They're allegedly airing the All In footage from backstage. TK just can not get out of his own way.

Giving Dustin a chance to finish the story this week is a fun move.

That's actually brilliant booking by Tony. I'm really not even opposed to letting Dustin win it to have both brothers be top champs at the same time. Of course, Dustin would be dropping back at the next PPV lol, but still get to live the moment for 11 days.

Giving Dustin that tittle is nice but a bit of a slap in the face to him because it's just to take shine from WWE. And showing that footage is gonna backfire so **** hard. Honest there isn't anything that's gonna change anyone's mind and if it's really what punk said and it's clear they look like stooges.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Discussion II
I don't like the decision to air the Punk footage. It was never about what happened, it was just used by the Bucks for a heel promo. There are many other ways to do an effective heel promo that doesn't involve being petty towards Punk.
WWE acts like AEW doesnt exist, which they can do given they are have been the industry's unquestioned top for decades. AEW needs to gives nods to WWE things to get/keep an audience, but doing this still feels low.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Discussion II
DOnt see an issue with the footage airing as it was used in a storyline so to speak. Young Bucks are heel and this furthered that in their feud with FTR
No one's opinion will change regardless, Punk's loyalists will never admit he's a dick with anger problems. No matter what Perry said, Phil si damn near 50 and still acts like a petulant teen who has to react with fists
