Gotta say this show isn't grabbing me like the first show since it's becoming obvious that most promos are some variation on "The NWA is back and we have REAL MEN".

It won’t be AEW that kills WWE, it’ll be the NWA when they take the boomer base away from Vince

Agreed. Still good, but this was clearly taped immediately after before people could absorb the fact that the poo poo they're saying has been said.

I mean they recorded I think 8 episodes in this taping session, so we might have 6 more weeks of these promos.

Not as good as week one, but it isn't brand new anymore, so that's hard to do. Still a fun show. Not sure who Magnus is feuding with, but I definitely want somebody to beat him for the title, so he's doing his job.

They should probably just let Nick Aldis and Eddie Kingston cut promos on every show, because they have been the highlights of these first two episodes.

Not dropping off is extremely good news. Let's see if it does the same half-million or so after the fact that 1 did.

So far I actually like this episode better than the first one. The novelty element isn't as strong anymore, but it's just... a decent, short little wrestling show without cuck angles or worthless draft robots.

Would you be my new best friends?

Bit of a step down after last week and Mr. Anderson is not at all what I'd call an exciting addition, but there was still fun stuff in there. I particularly liked the interview segment, and I love the interviewer guy constantly talking up his journalistic credentials.

Gimme Kingston and Murdoch stiffing the poo poo out of each other NWA, otherwise what are we even doing?

I kinda hear a little of Steve Austin in his delivery and voice.

I get them taking fun shots at aew since that's probably their closest competitor but what's with them showing tweets of wwe guys? shouldn't wwe also be competition?

ep was pretty decent. not amazing but still enjoy the novelty and love the vibe. didn't like the main event finish. agreed on how some of the promos are sounding samey with the "real men" stuff and devaluing the national title isn't great. speaking of titles, I think most of them are ugly except for the worlds title which looks awesome. aldis seems like a good champ. good promo guy.

Not as good as ep1 but I'd take it over Raw or Smackdown any day.

Colt Cabana loving sucks.
The ending interview was really weird as well.

In the last 15 years there have been few men more likely to turn the channel than seeing Ken Anderson/Kennedy. I just never got it.

I like Colt :(

Could very much do without Kennedy and Sandow (or whatever his name is), but any time you can get Ashley Vox, Ricky Starks, and Eddie Kingston on the same show is a big win for me.

I enjoyed this week's show. Of course it wasn't as good as last week's, but then I wasn't expecting much when I saw last week's show, and was very pleasantly surprised. I was still entertained by this week's offering, though.
