Sure.

I'd rather watch the Headbangers fight for the WWF tag team titles than see whatever dreg AEW wants to push. You can keep it.


sounds like youre really not a wrestling fan. this really isnt the show for you.

youre more of a sports entertainment guy who just wants some f*ckery that takes you back to childhood nostalgia - which even if somebody brought that feeling back today, you prolly wouldnt enjoy it now.

with that said, impact wrestling(formerly known as TNA) is the promotion you should be checking for at the moment, instead of AEW. impact pretty much caters to both sides of the coin. they give you both the f*ckery and the quality wrestling. and to top it off, it looks like theyre about to put their world title on another black man this saturday.


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 agree with you there.

it got better once they got the belt off of him, but hes still taking up a ton of time with bullchit promos.


Initially I tried to root for it because I saw hope in it and was trying to steer away from the blatant bigotry and control of WWE but I can't help but overlook that there's no real black talent or talent in general that's there full time. I also feel weird watching guys wrestle that are in way less shape than me. Guys like Eddie Kingston, Moxley, young bucks I mean. I still watch it with but it's a choir. I like Britt Baker and Brody on the full time roster but that's about it since Omega, PAC and Page are hardly there.


what black wrestlers are they supposed to have??

by the time AEW opened up shop, all the top black free agents were already off the market.

aside from fred yehi - who is milk carton status, what black wrestlers are they supposed to have over there??

in the meantime, they let private party shine. a YOUNG team that they brought up str8 from HOG.
and theyre trying to make will hobbs into a star out of nowhere.
nyla rose is black too, and He had the womens title already.
AEW should be exempt from such criticism.

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 :flabbynsick: 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 :russ: 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.
Wtf is "The best man, Miro"?
:scust:
I thought they were gonna book him as a monster like Brody Lee.

I'm not even saying this as an AEW hater. I really want them to study NJPW and copy their formula also cut back on the flippy botches and create divisions for some of the really tiny guys then perhaps have 1 go over in a Rey Mysterio fashion because a 120 lb kid from Jurassic express is not dazing anyone over 160 irl.

Nyla Rose and Sonny Kiss :scust:

You see what I mean?

Will Hobbs got washed by Brian Cage already.

Scorpio Sky is the one that should be pushed and there's plenty of black talent out there but for some reason they see something we don't and don't wanna come....perhaps because AEW is only trying to push gay black talent over black talent, I dunno.

sonny kiss was prolly the best black free agent active on the market since AEW began, outside of swerve scott.

Will hobbs is green. hes lucky to even be in a feud against brian cage at this stage of his career.]

scorpio sky is one of their guys that they snatched up outta ROH. theyve been pushing him from the jump, and his team was the first to win the tag belts, despite the fact that there are a grip of teams over there that are better.

most of the black wrestlers that are poppin, were locked into deals by the time AEW started. only one that i can think of that really passed up on AEW is swerve scott, and he signed his WWE deal before AEW started doing shows. so he prolly didnt know what to expect. i will say, the advantage the WWE has with free agents in general, is that they have like 5 different shows to stick you on, as opposed to AEW which has one big ass stacked roster where youre bound to get lost in the shuffle.

Man, I'm still pushing faith that AEW will get better and I'm just a realist when it comes to these things. I really wanna see more diversity and it's frustrating that the E and Impact currently has more diverse heterosexual talent that's actually getting pushed. I hope some of the big impact guys like Willy Mack or the other X division guy goes there.

Everything that is on television is entertainment. As dry as the daily news is that is a form of entertainment too.

When I watch any show on television especially a children's show in wrestling I expect to be at least entertained. What's wrong with that?:francis:

I am more entertained by this episode of Sunday Night Heat in 1999...:mjgrin:


Than "entertained" by this trash in 2020...:hubie:



Also, stop defending mediocrity and have more respect for yourself. Just because you believe it to be marginally better than Raw in 2020 doesn't mean that's a good thing when WWE is hitting as bad as ever in recent memory.:mjlol:

Wrestling as a whole right now is in the shyts.:pachaha:

broh, im not giving AEW props simply because theyre better than the WWE. i could care less about the WWE actually.
besides, the best promotion is NJPW, and we gave you a promotion that you would enjoy more, in IMPACT Wrestling. impact is the cool promotion.

wrestling as a whole is in great shape. much better quality than 1999. as much as i would like to go back in a time-warp like the next man, im not gonna be blinded by nostalgia.


I wish AEW and Impact would merge tbh. Brody and the dark order vs RVD would be dope.


RVD's contract ran out a couple weeks ago. so you might get your wish on him going to AEW.

but AEW is way too big to merge with impact.

Why do people act like its the end of the world after somebody loses one match?

Neither AEW or WWE are cool imo. Especially wwe and especially wwe in the last few years. At least aew feels like it’s fresh.

I want to get into aew, but wwe pretty much finally killed my interest in watching any wrestling right now. I’ve only really watched the first episode and dropped off aside from watching clips posted of anything important. I’ve only really kind of kept up with nxt, but that’s only been the takeovers and whatever Io is doing if I even get around to doing that.

streamable, podcasts and tsc is what’s holding me down for wrestling.
