It just doesn't make sense. Hey Cody I don't agree with your booking but take my developmental and run it. It's a Vince and HHH thing all over again and it just doesn't work.

Didn't know Wardlow had a promo like that in him, I'm sold. Next 2 AEW World Champions should be MJF, then Wardlow.

Even with a poor women's division, AEW continues to increase it's superiority over WWE. They're killing it every week.

Agreed, great show. I dont fully support the Jeff Hardy hire as I think the guy has been given more than enough chances, but what a show overall yesterday

I don't agree with that. It's different. But I don't think it's superior. AEW has a lot of issues, so does WWE. They do different things.

AEW has passable Women's performers with top notch storylines. WWE has world class athletes without any direction even with unique characters

I don't agree with this. They've told a whole ass year plus story with Bianca and her quest to be the 4 hours woman slayer. Becky's journey is good Charlottes is Rick. Rona is Brock light. Naomi and Sonya had a good story. Dew drop was used well for a while. Liv and rea together makes sense. There are story's. But other than Britt Baker and maybe jade in 5 years. Who on that brand would even sniff mid car on WWE? Thunder Rosa, shida and riho maybe but other than that? Multiple mid car ladies from WWE would instantly be top of the card in AEW. I don't think the stories are that better in AEW.

I liked the Hardy signing, but wasn’t crazy about the manner in which he was brought in. Also, while has gotten a lot of chances — he was with WWE for, what, 5 years straight without incident ? (They wrongfully presumed he was on drugs)

And yeah, WWE definitely has the top notch talent but I’m enjoying the AEW division as of late too. Baker, Rosa, Deeb, Cargill, Statlander.

But wasn't he arrested for dui recently? If so, inexcusable. The guy is just reckless

I love AEW, and overall I prefer it to WWE. But the women's division is not at all the reason for that. Basically if it isn't Shida or Deeb I find it hard to be compelled by. Much prefer WWE women's division.

Shida, Deeb for sure, Britt to an extent since she needs something fresh, and squash after squash, I'm still hooked watching Jade

I take it back. Some women were placed in a storyline with the above-mentioned, one of the reason why they got noticed. WWE women still, but yeah, they need to work on feuds that make sense

That's why I don't mind the push Jade is getting at all, because frankly, they need her to become a star.

Speaking of the AEW women, that was a wild match BUT Thunder Rosa takes 3 chair shots on top of the turnbuckle then a back body slam from the top rope onto a pile of chairs and then kicks out at 2? lmao I'm glad the belt is off Baker but come on man...

Otoh, the chairs were piled so high that it was just a small drop from the top turnbuckle.

Btw, Thunder Rosa has the weakest looking punches I've ever seen.

But, it was great to see her reaction after the match. Winning the belt was a HUGE thing for her - gotta respect that. It raises the value of the belt.

Yea they don't even try to make it believable anymore. Back when I was growing up matches were won with 1 finisher. MAYBE 2 on rare occasion like a big PPV match. But never on a Raw or Nitro

Jericho proving why he's one of the GOAT with that promo. he actually made Daniel Garcia and 2.0 seem interesting.
