Is AEW Supposed To Be Cool?

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

I tried watching a few shows and it just feels like a Sunday Night Heat event when they would have all the lowest tier wrestlers fill the entire match card of the show.

I don't watch wrestling much anymore but I tried to like something new. This ain't it.

I was not impressed.

It’s not good, at all. Dudes like the young bucks and omega sitting on the sidelines every week while dudes like Cody go over people he shouldn’t every week.

Better than Monday night Raw most weeks

My only gripe with AEW. Need more Kenny and Lucha Bros. Kenny will probably be in the main event in a few months, hopefully at least.

the real question is if WWE is entertaining to you right now?

if THAT is cool then do you breh

if you think that shyt is trash too then you see where we are all right now

none of this shyt is cool, but AEW is giving us some elements of wrestling that WWE refuses to give. is it full of genre-bending stars? nope, but ive def seen people who seemed like jobbers actually build up to decent names in the last year. it's a fun alternative, but it's not the end all be all WWE killer like some people pretend.

The only thing that WWE does 100% right is Stone Cold's podcast but the actual wrestling product is as bad as it's ever been in my lifetime.

WWE right now is WCW status. All the wrestling promotions right now ain't hittin right. It's all bad.

WWE ain't no better right now either, AEW is just the worst out of the bunch.

i actually really enjoy AEW right now. most of the roster is people i absolutely HATED a few years ago. but they've sold me on people i never thought i'd like, such as Darby Allin, Ricky Starks, shyt they even got me liking Tazz more than usual because he's been killing it as a heel commentator/manager. one of my main issues with AEW right now is they book all of their heels to lose when it matters most. heels always coming up short there.

watching WWE right now is liking singing along with kids song with the ball bouncing at the bottom of the screen

AEW is if WWE made a fourth brand. It’s not really an alternative to WWE at all. Their stupid angles are just as stupid as WWE’s stupid angles, but they can’t pull off serious stuff like WWE can (for example the current Roman Reigns and Jey Uso angle). They do have people I like, but they make them look silly.

watch IMPACT to help support the TSC Queen:

Who is she? What's her IG? Does she have a donkey? I need to know these things.

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Who wanted to see Goldust and Stardust in the main event?

A flabby n sick Chris Jericho take the top bill like he's Stone Cold at his peak in 2019/2020? Jericho been washed since 2006.

I do hope they improve because WWE needs competition. Not for me.

what does "cool" mean to you? If you mean are younger people watching.. that's the accepted definition of what's "cool" to you? AEW does very well in this demographic.

If I had to say these wresters look and present themselves as people who I'd maybe chill with then there's probably more in WWE like Tez, MVP, Naomi, Sasha, Roman, Usos.. but most of the time they aren't being used well.

I like Santana/Ortiz, Lucha Bros., they got a lot of talent in AEW too that seem like they should be able to sell toys to kids. Darby should be able to sell toys.

I just don't know what you mean by "cool" when it comes to this show..

It’s bad. I stopped watching only a few weeks in. I check clips and tweets and honestly I’d watch WWE (which sucks too) over AEW.

I tuned into the PPV where a super Chris Jericho was wrestling a jobber in a match where you had to get thrown into a huge mimosa tub to lose. Also saw the terrible debut of Rusev they handled that in true late WCW/early TNA fashion. Killed any hype dude had. The botches are the most entertaining thing they have going for them.

Basically what AEW confirmed to me is the marks who claim Vince is holding them down and they could do so much better with more freedom are full of shyt.
