AEW`s approach is 1000% better than WWE`s approach. And we`re only 20 minutes in.
Honestly this is better. It's so quiet in an arena with no crowd. I saw the Austin/Bryon segment on Monday, you could hear the beers cracking open crystal clear. I don't want that.

WWE should take notes on this they have 2 weeks and some change to fix the empty arena approach

Step 1. Lighten the fukk up, I get it this shyt couldn’t have happened at a worse time with it being Mania season but have fun with this shyt while you can.

The Revival are NEVER getting released now. And I think AEW is at its limit for ex-WWE guys for now anyway.


Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose, Goldust, Jack Swagger, Neville, Tye Dillinger, Trent Bareta, now Matt Hardy and Luke Harper....I think that's about the max they can go at this point, especially as most of them are in prominent positions on the card .

I didn't hate the show, but... it's so obvious they're mildly afflicted with that Russo mentality of trying to swerve situations just because. On this show, you had Archer, Brodie and Matt all have parts to play. And every fukking single one of them was miscast.

Stay with me for a sec.

Matt shoulda been the Exalted One; point-blank, period.
Brodie woulda been much much better with Jake.
And Having big-ass Archer come out to level the playing field against the Inner Circle on some 'we got a big dude, too, motherfukkers' shyt woulda definitely been a better way to utilize a guy whose whole career has been a testament to how working hard and being big doesn't fukking mean anything if you aren't put in the right angles to succeed.

Him going into the PPV as the Elite's hitter just to say ':mjlol: you thought' and kick Matt Jackson to death would have made him way more than standing next to Jake and having a backyard fight club in a ring hosted by the Oompa Loompa who left the squad and got the gym membership in the separation settlement. Matt running around as the chessmaster of a group of random dudes would not only give them credibility, but it limits what he has to do because he can set himself up as a final boss and not actually need to see anyone until they work their way to him. And Brodie... lawd. If there's been a bigger miss in wrestling this year than putting Brodie fukking Lee with Jake the fukking Snake, it's a close #2 at worst. They both got that swamp-living, shoot-you-if-you-come-on-their-property energy literally exuding from them, and Brodie's voice doesn't match his size, so having raspy Jake get all devious but also abstract for him and let the man's work in the ring do the talking woulda done way more for him than whatever that bathrobe they put him in will do.

shyt is crazy. Like... they had the people, they just shifted slightly and missed the mark on all three. There is a parallel universe right now where there is no COVID and AEW did this right and in that place, the Wednesday after Blood & Guts (terrible PPV name), Archer is coming out to vociferous boos for singlehandedly costing the Elite the first AEW War Games match, Matt is getting to cut a batshyt crazy promo by video from NC while he has the two Dark Order grunts do yard work for him in the background, and Brodie Lee is coming off a PPV win that saw him walking a gator on a leash to the ring and following it up by coming down to the ring on Dynamite wearing a gator-skin coat that Jake uses at the end of the match to choke Jungle Jack into unconsciousness with, clearly building to the Luchasaurus vs. Brodie (ft. Jake) match that people might actually be interested in seeing.

Nobody considers Trent Bareta a damn WWE guy :heh:

And how could there be a limit when literally 90% of the WWE roster are ROH guys?

Blood & Guts isn't a PPV or show name, that's what AEW is calling War Games because obviously they can't use War Games.

Was at work, brehs. Is it worth a rewatch or nah? :lupe:

Worth a rewatch IMO...

This is from someone that HHH’s reign of terror killed wrestling for me. I tried to keep coming back but the E hasn’t felt as “fun” as AEW in a loooong time. We might be watching something special if they don’t mess up and last night was a big part of that.

The Broken gimmick was never good in TNA or WWE. That boy is washed.

Na..... it was actually GREAT in TNA and ROH.

You are right though it was terrible in WWE.


But overall, I can tell, it’s just one of those things that’s maybe just wasn’t for you so you rejected it. But it was definitely GOLD
