DeepDickPizza posted:Just wrapped watching. There are seriously so many things to like about the presentation alone. The Holi color splash motif works so, so, so, so well for them. Hearing JR and Schiavone in the booth is just like a warm blanket, and the three man booth with Excalibur plays well without any of the stupid bickering that plagues WWE. Everybody top to bottom radiates enthusiasm for the new venture and it comes through. It's a little thing, but it's great that they show what matches will be happening and on what show in the Tag Tournament graphic. I love how they mention that if they had to go to break during the match that it would be PiP. The promos don't feel overly scripted, which is obviously a HUGE departure from WWE. A very nice mix of match styles showing off what the company has to offer. The post main clusterfuck was great and seeing what appear to be real stables is a delight. Swags could be really good in a new environment. Same. I was shocked at how much I like hearing JR and Tony Schiavone again. Big Tony hasn't been this excited about wrassling since freakin 97. Jericho is 100% GOAT and I'm so glad he's the first televised champ. Glad they are holding Mox off a bit but man... I want to see him DESTROY! Freakin great opener and I haven't been this excited in ages. Kinda nice as I was hoping for all of this back when Cody was funding All In and ... here we are.

Great first show and the bonus of WWE ineptly flailing about is always funny. I'm thinking Vince freaks out after AEW pummels NxT again next week. Week after he'll increase the show to three hours with nothing but Shane, Baron Corbin, Lacey and cucking... constant cucking. When people aren't actually doing cucking they will be talking about cucking.

Push El Burrito posted:That Christopher Daniels quote makes me think he's planning on killing this promotion too! You know he was in WCW right at the end as well? Just as a glorified jobber but I remember seeing him there. He was actually responsible to leading me to the indy scene and newcomers like CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe and LowKi. You cool by me Fallen Angel. davidbix posted:Threw my ratings analysis together here (the Forbes contributor downside guarantee really isn't THAT bad for being able to write whatever the hell you want): https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbixenspan/2019/10/03/aew-dynamite-wwe-nxt-ratings-wednesday-night-war-week-1/#76743833634d Love this, so cheers to you fine sirrah.

Von_Doom posted:Also Swagger? Considering what they did to PAC, Moxley (the audience smells like poo) and Cody I am willing to let Swagger try and prove he isn't the next Aron Rex. Goddamit Swagger. Big Huski Boi posted:If you express the idea that basic human kindness is good you should not have to discuss it as if the opposite is an equally justifiable stance I had a long personal story I was going to relate but I'm tired of giving terrible people time in my life. I want you guys to know I love you no matter who you sleep with or love and whether you are male, female or genderless. The colours of the rainbow are all about light, reflection, refraction and dispersion. If you think I'm terrible because of who I find hot well then I feel bad for you but I'll still be your pal if you stop being ridiculous. We've suffered through a couple of decades of WWE dominating wrestling around the globe so we have been through the poo poo maaaaan. Be nice to this silly world as it feels good and helps the planet and it can be kinda cool sometimes. Bad people can't take my safe space because it stays in my heart and in my head. You can't touch it as I won't let you. Light prevails over the dark. Now, can we talk about how cool AEW was? Lets leave the hate and negativity where it belongs: in the "wwe abyss: nihilism is fun" thread. A Fancy Hat posted:Riho/Nyla was an amazing match. Normally big wrestler v tiny wrestler matches can get kind of hokey and predictable to me, but I loved this one. Riho's forearms looked like they were murder incarnate and the final couple of minutes were great. I loved Riho/Nyla. I so wish Kana could get in on the AEW action but she's stuck right now in a non wrestle role in a lovely company. Her versus either one of those two would be nice. Nyla so reminds me of Awesome Kong/Kharma in her peak which made me happy to read TV Zombie posted:I wonder if Awesome Kong would be able/would want to take on the role of trainer/mentor as well wrestler for the women wrestlers?

Ziggy Tzardust posted:ROH's tag division (specifically KoW) was the main draw of the company back in 2010/11 when Tyler/Roddy were flopping as champion They were so drat entertaining. I still hope Claudio and Hero get freed one day to have one last run. Also The American Dragon, Samoa Joe and Brodie Lee. I’m still higher than most on Punk in AEW but nothing like seeing ZSJ versus Osprey. Thinking about old indie guys I loved... what ever happened to LowKi? Edit: /\/\ hey now Karl Anderson was cool and don’t hate him now that he is retired. Taking money from genocidal nazis wannabes and the evil prince? Sure. But he used to be a good worker. He just wants to collect McBucks now for his hot Asian wife (patent pending). DogsInSpace! fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Oct 6, 2019 |

Tato posted:He's a motivational speaker who can teach you to get fired and burn your bridges from every wrestling company in record time Thanks Tati,Basic and the entire AEW thread for giving me tonnes of LOLs. The Professional. Heh. Isn’t Teddy Hart also doing MLW? Is his nickname Captain Sane? Back in the day I always thought those two had potential.

LividLiquid posted:Plus Bryan is savvy enough to know that if he wants to go to AEW or New Japan or both, he needs to send signals that he's retiring. Keeps Vince from burying him, among many other things. Don’t get my hopes up.... Danielson would blow up insanely in AEW. Remember how hot he was before WWE cooled him off then retired him? I want that again. Same with Joe as that guy is too drat good to coast in the midcard. Free Cesaro, Chris Hero and Luke Harper while we’re at it.
