The AEW Thread

I do want to clarify that the majority of this blame totally falls on TK for letting the inmates run the asylum.

I just can’t stand the Punk dickriders acting like he had no choice but to drop the gripe bomb and assault people, all because Hangman got spicy with him in a promo. A promo that no viewer took beyond face value or thought twice about.

A lot of big egos in a small space, but Punk definitely comes off as the most childish especially given his supposed “locker room legend” status. Dude’s 45 years old and starting physical altercations over, in his own words, “internet ****.”

Edge’s “statement” to start the show was pretty cringe.

Should’ve leaked the footage to TMZ or something. The Bucks trying to turn it into a storyline with their typical double-meaning meta style just didn’t land well at all. I can understand what they and FTR were going for story-wise, but it was simply too hot to handle.

The only positive coming out of this, is that the footage has been seen. This could’ve been something that was speculated for years, but now everyone knows exactly what happened.

Overall, I’m excited for Dynasty. I hope AEW can now redirect their focus back to bangers and ****.

I don't care at all about anything Jericho is involved in and any Julia Hart match is guaranteed to be mediocre at best, but the rest of the card looks great and could have some legendary matches.

Anyone watching Dynasty?

Pac/Okada and Strong/O'Reilly were great. 6 man with House of Black solid as well. Looking forward to Danielson/Ospreay and hopefully a Swerve title win.

Welp

Lol Jericho.

Ospreay/Danielson was ridic.

Edit: crowd has been incredible

It's time for Swerve to take the gold.

This is hard for me to say as someone who this has been my favorite wrestler for like 20 ****ing years

But…I think I hate Chris Jericho

Yooooo, that episode was fantastic.

I don't think I've liked a single thing Jericho has done since about 2017.

He's been in the single worst storyline in the company for over half of his AEW run.

Drink it in, man

Ospreay vs Danielson gets 6.5 stars from Meltzer, his second highest rating of all time.

Dynamite with their worst rating in over 6 months. Well deserved. It was pretty bad between the awful audio problems, having Swerve in a random match, making Swerve take the backseat to Jack ****ing Perry, and the best thing, having TYBs + Jungleboy Jack attack Tony Khan because of something that happened with a wrestler who doesn't even work in AEW anymore

I don't think anybody wants TYB's as the focal point of the show, even if they add Jack Perry and Okada...LOL. And people probably want TK on tv even less. But at least Omega's coming back next week.

Swerve’s going to get the opening promo on Collision immediately following the NBA playoffs, probably the biggest audience lead-in of the year.

Jesus Christ, just when I think AEW can't get any dumber with these spots. No wonder they need such a massive roster. Edge fractured his tibia on this.

What was this even supposed to look like if it went perfectly? I guess a splash, but that probably would severely injure Black (if not Edge too). I wonder if that was the plan, then right after jumping Edge had second thoughts and bailed on it.

Sadly, this is not even the dumbest instance of a 45+ year old man jumping off a steel cage. Macho takes that one, although I think his cage was made out of plastic.

It’s pretty clear that Edge hesitated and ****ed it up, was plain as day during the show. Splash from the top of the cage is super standard in matches like these, so the pearl clutching from the IWC is laughable.

I don’t think you can really blame AEW for this— Sting was doing leaps just fine and is a decade older. Copeland simply hesitated and paid the price.

Anyway, the AEW belt holders are pretty insane right now and pretty much all are great workers.

Swerve, Ospreay, and Okada for the men. (Edge has TNT, but is ****ed now)

Only exception is ****ing Jericho, who has been in the worst match in like 25 consecutive PPVs, just go away dude. But that's only the FTW belt.

Women's belts with Storm and Moné.

Tag w/the Bucks and trios w/Bang Bang. Although I hope the latter drop soon as White should be in the title picture for a bigger belt.

All In card for Webley could be stacked, which they deserve after they turned out in droves last year but then AEW held back a ton of good matches.

The spot was dumb as ****.

Why do something like that? ESPECIALLY if it's not the finish.

Would anyone have felt deprived if he did that off the top rope instead?

You already had the cool moment with Gangrel planned.

Also, wtf was up with this table. The leg breaks through the table and almost impales Big Bill.
