THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

First PPV I've purchased since the very first AEW PPV and it was worth every fucking penny.
Good matches throughout and very few bad moments throughout the entire show.
I was not expecting the debut of Adam Cole AND Bryan Danielson in the same night.
Good shit. WWE has to be getting worried. AEW is clearly the hot brand right now.

Bravo, AEW :bravo:
 
Wow! What a show! Easily the best ppv of the year! Tony "Fuckin" Khan delivered. He'll be able to brag about this for years to come. Truly exceptional shit! I'm still trying to process it all. Minoru "Fuckin" Suzuki in a AEW ring! That alone was enough for me but we also get Ruby Soho, Adam Cole, and Brian Danielson all on one show. Lucha Brothers/Young Bucks; holy shit what a match! I got to calm down I'm so fuckin' hyped.
 
I expect Cole to screw over The Elite at some point. He's gonna tear did down from the inside. Wonder how much longer Kyle O'Reilly has left on his contract so that the TUE can reunite. Will be cool to see him back on BTE.
 
This is great news for wrestling fans,AEW finally getting better and legit will force WWE to up its game and stop with the bullshit,but AEW fans need to temper there realism that AEW is gonna kick WWE ass. WWE is the NFL and AEW is the ACC WWE signed a 5 year 1 billion dollar deal with NBC Peacock,AEW signed a 4 year $165 million deal with TNT. It’s not close at all but a content and match competition will be great
 
WWE can have all that business shit, AEW is about having a better, more exciting product.

WWE hasn't been this exciting since they rounded up all these Indy guys and they've pretty much squandered them all to do "good business" and now the future of WWE product is starting to look really bleak.

They're going to keep cutting the younger Indy guys they should be making into stars and have Edge, Brock and Goldberg matches and one off Cena and Rock programs for the next 3-5 years.

Vince probably on the phone right now with The Undertaker asking if he's got one more run in him. LOL

The latter is why I don't think this will effect WWE's product....they believe they are the standard....AEW has me intrigued. As a guy who got WCW vibes from them....I'm highly intrigued. If you're a first timer watching their PPV's....you were sold last night. That was a damn good effort. A great combination of young blood and new blood. I got to feel nostalgia by listening to JR even if he isn't the same guy....got to see Sting....then I mean Punk and Bryan....

WWE's issue is that who do t hey grab to bring that excitement back? All they can do is bring in old guys......AEW can literally bring in ANYONE and it brings excitement.

As a kid I still remember my first time seeing Tazz come to WWE. I remember Jericho's first time. I remember the Radicals......some of my fondest moments are new guys coming to WWE....and they just can't bring that feeling back which sucks for them.
 
I really hope this doesn't bury the day one AEW talent. Cause when was the last time you saw Joey Janella? Him and the gay black dude seemed to have a feud going and then nothing, unless all that played out on Dark. This MMA/AEW with Scorpio Sky doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

good or bad but I have been a WWE lifer
but WWE has really focused on the business and entertainment at the expense of their hardcore fans, story telling and future

if AEW were around back in the day Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Adam Cole, and countless others would've never gone to WWE/NXT

NXT was the alternative to WWE main roster and kinda/sorta a super indy under the WWE umbrellla
aint no kind/sorta with AEW. Its by fans for the fans. They care about their audience and their talent.

it seems like with the changes to NXT and the roster cuts WWE is pivoting harder to Sports Entertainment and larger than life personalities. Fuck Wrestling, the fans and talent.

real talk I am watching more and more AEW and just reading summaries for WWE. NXT was my favorite WWE programming and now its really gonna be WWE main roster light instead of an alternative.

it might take a while but WWE may regret this shift and wonder what the fuck happened. They've gotten complacement, put profit ahead of everything else and learned the wrong lessons from the emegerence of AEW. I guess they cant out AEW so they decided to completely pivot with NXT.

there is way more buzz excitement around AEW right now. There isnt an amount of Goldberg, Brock, Becky, returns they can pull out anymore.

Dog, the only thing WWE has going for it right now is Roman Reigns, they neutered The Hurt Business, they broke up The New Day. Xavier is doing nothing. Big E has a push coming soon, hopefully. Every black female wrestler just gets shyted on by their white counterparts.

It's just not a good product.

they also knee capped Bianca & the booking with Charoltte gotta Rhea DOA
one good thing they got going for them Riddle. Hopefully they dont fuck that up cause he is that bastard son of RVD & Angle. Can go in the ring, entertaining and could sell kids merchandise. If aint the champ by this time next year you know WWE is still on some bullshit.

No Vince likes a type... Are we sure Vince isn't bisexual?!?! Riddle doesn't fit that type, a middle/welterweight that doesn't have a lineage in wrestling doesn't fit that type. He'd have to go back to NXT to become champ

He's still on Dark, last week they've paired him with (what I'm confidently assuming is) another transformer. Some swole muthafucka in a dress and a wig.

Starting to wonder if Joey is in the alphabet community.

I've only been following to see what they're gonna do with Big E.

But with the way they just did Bianca, which is reminiscent of what they did with Kofi, which is in alignment with the way they've historically done black wrestlers, I'm not confident that they won't do Big E the same way.

Hell, they're not even building him up like he could be a legit champion. They just got him trolling Heyman, not even Roman, just Heyman and doing these comedy spots.

Like it'll be a nice moment when he wins the title for the genuine emotion, but it's like "will he even win it, tho?"

WWE only cares to create moments, and then when the moment's over, it's "alright, squash him. Can't get the title off him fast enough."

I hear what you're saying, but Joey Janella sucks and Sonny Kiss is a freak show. Sorry.
Keep that on the YouTube show, that's not primetime programming.

Some of the AEW day one talent is gonna have to sink or swim now. Some of that sideshow carny stuff is gonna have to go.
Cats like MJF, Sammy Guevara, and Hangman Page will be fine.
With Rampage, Dynamite and the YouTube shows, they have enough platforms to showcase all their talent.

AEW should get rid of the FTW champion or make it their version of a hard-core/extreme championship.

Next AEW targets should be Sasha, Moose, Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman.

Don't judge me I'm trying to be more tolerant but:
Lastly just embrace the whole gay theme with the above the should introduce an intergender Rainbow champion. First Match. NYLA Rose vs Sonny Kiss.

I thought about that too. They just brought in for sure 2 main event guys in Punk and Bryan. Its only natural that they took two guys spots and two guys go a step down.

And I guess this is where WWE and other places go? Eventually guys will get disgruntled and I guess WWE will be there to pick them up?
