AEW's undercard is pretty weak right now but that should change fast with some key WWE acquisitions

If they can get Rusev and maybe Balor that would be absolutely huge for them, as both guys could be legit main eventers there and would also serve to push other guys down the card to flesh out the mid and lower ranks.

Yeah that's why I'm not gonna be to critical of AEW right now they have a good starting point and good production
5-10 key under utilized WWE wrestlers coming over will make a huge difference.

Even with a pretty thin roster, Double or Nothing was better than pretty much any non-NXT WWE show in recent memory. The lower card may not be great, but the upper card really f*cking delivers. That Bucks/Lucha Bros match at DoN was incredible.

That triple threat women's match was awesome. This Fatal Fourway is also delivering.

Hard to get behind Jimmy Havoc cause the other 3 are just bringing it.

I wasn't as high on Double or Nothing as most people... Like the main event crew but a lot of them have wrestled
each other a ton of times already. Not a fan of these low level Indy guys they've signed with the cheap flea market
looking costumes.

I want AEW to feel like a legit 2nd promotion and not have an Indy feel to it that was a problem I had with
TNA in the 2000's and could never take them that serious.

Totally unnecessary for me:

- That coffin splash at the apron
- Chair shot to the head

AEW has been doing a good job stitching characters for potential storylines but the brutality is a bit too much for me.

Damn that cut from the chairshot was brutal. Bringing some realism to it with the MJF out of character concerned thing

That fan did a fine job of getting on the stage and photo bombing (for lack of better word) the Bucks entrance

Akuma. He was missing the bead necklace though.

But then you get more of a poor man's WWE. Like when TNA tried going Monday nights, they tried to be Nitro but were more like Thunder!
