I give JR a pass cause dude hasn’t (understandly) been the same in booth since his wife passed a while back. You could tell during the PPV that Tony is the glue that holds the booth together.

Lawler is prob the only other person who can get something out of JR at this point in his career cause of their chemistry and longevity with each other and he’s in the E so that’s out. I’m not sure what Khan can do about it other than having Taz on standby until Football season is over or throwing a bag at Tenay to put a headset back on


They def need a heel commentator in the booth, however

JR was bad long before his wife died and with Lawler. Actually I think he's been better with AEW than he has been since probably 2003, but his heart obviously isn't very into it and he doesn't understand/like the way guys work today. His constant annoyance with the refs is just such a grumpy shyt thing to do. He made a tweet or post about how the job gives him a purpose and something to do, much like retirees who take on part time jobs or volunteer just to have shyt to do. I think that's how he sees it and treats it as such. I think his weirdest quirk these days is how often he responds to himself despite there being one or two other people to play off of.


But please no heel/face announcer shyt. It's been done to death. Just a straight commentary team is all that is needed.

bolded sounds like youre a WWE stan, getting your feet wet with AEW because of the hype.

not one other wrestling promotion mentioned in that statement.

sounds like youre accustomed to the WWE's way of doing things, and nothing else reasonates.
You're entitled to your opinion but it's wrong. I'm not a WWE Stan. :camby:

I have already stopped following the weekly show but watched this for Cody/Jericho and Omega/Moxley. Cody might exaggerate from his entrance to his importance but he sure as hell understands how storytelling works. Of course with flabby Jericho it's not like this ever could've turned into a great match but it was a good match still. The ending with the towel fit the narrative, but as many have noted it feels way too soon to pull the trigger on the MJF turn.

Omega/Moxley was just a stupid spot fest. I get that's what most hardcore matches are but both men could do better than this nonsense. Someone else mentioned it in this thread but Lucha Underground pulled off hardcore matches with storytelling and psychology, it shouldn't feel so impossible.

It crazy.....

Again “they not gonna please everyone” and “on there other social spots, they are addressing some of the things people in here are questioning and low key whining about” (I watched the Tony one too)

This scrum with Page, he addresses that due to only having so much time a month, they won’t be doing the “monthly PPV” deals for now (8hrs aint enough for true story building). The next PPV probably won’t be for another 2-3 months.

Stop quoting me. I'm not going back and forth with you on what I watch. I don't care about your opinion of my viewing habits.


I wasn't even coming at your neck.

just saying their approach prolly doesn't reasonate with you for obvious reasons.

like dude said earlier, WWE fans in here expecting WWE-style booking.

Ya how weird that someone that likes watching wrestling would watch the most easily accessible wrestling shows on TV.


BE SMART SON.

hes an avid internet user in 2019.

anything that doesn't require a download is just as accessible for him as a cable show.

Imagine thinking it's fine that big storyline plots are happening on the youtube show after TV starts because you need to act like a fukking weirdo because you have planted your flag with AEW & think they can't do anything wrong :mjgrin:


It's really better that they do that stuff there where maybe 200k people will see it & not the TV show where 800k people will see it when you really think about it :jbhmm:

I still can't work out of Moxley, Omega, neither or both are heel or face.

Moxley is acting too bad ass and anti-authority to be a heel. Kenny's the crowd darling and part of The Elite.

I need more WHY

they couldve cut the main event in half and it wouldve been perfect. I can do without the mouse trap board and barbedwire webbing i thought they were stupid and too contrived. that table bump was crazy, and ending was cool, that 360 facefirst into the wood was stupid,
