Honestly this past week really soured me on this whole thing. Before I thought it had a 50/50 chance, maybe even 60/40, but seeing Cody and The Bucks being unable to stop talking about WWE and how they handled the whole PAC thing even with 5 fukking months to figure this issue out which shows me they have no foresight and shytty planning skills and are scummy for how and when they announced it being of (and note: PAC is STILL on the promotional material they put out in the last day, you can't tell me they haven't had time to photoshop him out of the poster for social media graphics), Jim Ross (who is almost 70 and has been terrible for the better part of 15 years) saying he's going to recruit Jerry Lawler (who is also almost 70 and has been terrible even longer), hiring every old dude from WWE that they can....all I'm getting is bad TNA vibes. I'm expecting the 2019 version of VKM at this point.

Chance of what though?

Chance of what though?

Being successful as a company. But the last week has exposed these dudes as the geeks they are who just playing with someone's money and don't know what they're doing.

Way too early for that. They have shown to be naive as promoters with big doses of carny, but since when being a carny means you won't be successful? and I think they can get better at promoting as times goes on, but we'll see.

Like I've said before, this show is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things. The real tests begin with the TV show.

I'm in the middle...definitely see stupidity in how things have been handled (Ross, Hebner, PAC), but I'm not entirely off the train yet, and think they're gonna be very good competition.

Still laughing at Dave basically saying Jericho loses

Look.. Bischoff was a clown and always was a clown. WCW got to the heights they did because Billionaire Ted bought up a bunch of talent and Bischoff had about 3 good ideas.

The most important idea being the nWo which he just took from Japan. So, do you really have to know what you're doing? Not really. It's about how much is Khan willing to spend and will they have a big idea that crosses over..

Also, WWE being completely terrible is helping AEW right now. The last thing AEW wants is for WWE to somehow get their shyt together.

That TSC heel turn before their first show

That TSC heel turn before their first show

You already know how this plays out.

IF AEW is successful there will be Cody smilies and Omega smilies and maybe a "Billionaire Khan" emoji and everyone will act like they were AEW gang

IF AEW is unsuccessful which they probably will be at least in the short term it takes a lot to build up a brand, it's gonna be all mark jokes and midget jokes and Vince maniacal laughing gifs



I wish we had betting lines for how this will play out I'd be a billionaire myself.

What? There are only a few wwe hate watchers in here who aren't tuning in

 

[Bryan Danielson]

That TSC heel turn before their first show

Yep and anything to question the heel turn or even small positive stuff “you’re a stan”

 

[LastManStanding]

hold up Diamond Jackson is the Chief Brand Officer of this company?

oh wait, that's Brandi Rhodes

 

[TheGodling]

What's AJ Smalls doing in The Elite club? BY GAWD, he just hit the Stilts Clash on Kenny Omega!

 

[Apex]

They gotta chill with the WWE slander man

just do you.

Jericho is Jericho, but the Bucks and Cody don't need to do it
