Didn’t watch Double or Nothing, as I’m not a fan of AEW, its stories or the wrestlers who were competing.

Saw clips on Twitter and from what I saw, I didn’t miss anything. Happy folks who like AEW enjoyed it. Here are a few takes I had after browsing through Twitter….
  • From what I saw folks are cold on Mercedes’s win and of course she brings up WWE at her presser after the show.
  • Ospreay dodged (perhaps) a career changing injury.
  • No one is talking about Swerves championship match.
  • Edge doing shit he probably shouldn’t be doing and an appearance by Fat Gangrel.
  • Anarchy in the Arena was more of the ridiculousness I just have no interest in.
  • MJF returns and still finds a way to bring up WWE.
Did I miss anything else?

Part one of my notes during double or nothing

I need a break so I'll be back with more once I can get through the rest, they really need to tighten up their ppv lineups. This shit is way too long.

First match ospraey vs strong
Decent match, glad ospraey didn't paralyze himself but boy is willy boy overrated, he's a less smooth ricochet, missed a lot of spots and looked sloppy at times, shit happens. It was fine. tbh he's at the right company for him, I was more impressed with Roderick strong but overall I wasn't bored to tears or questioning commiting suicide so it's a win for aew.

Adam Cole comes out, in a show that clocks in over an astounding 4 hours I wish this man walked faster lol I was not ready for story time with Adam Cole.
To be fair last Vegas does suck so I agree with Adam.
Mjf comes down in triple H cosplay but says he doesn't need Vince McMahon lol also wolverine hair
Vince McMahon gets the biggest pop of course, AEW fans are obsessed and cry victim when fed fma tear into them.
I'm not white so this mjf cat is corny as fuck to me, just please shut up. The show is almost 5 hours long. Baby talk in a promo is not somethyinwas expecting, adults like this shit. I am baffled. Oh shit he said donkey dicks! I hear the fans including a 12 year old chant it back, again I'm at a loss.
I think this man just peoples elbowed a mask, or I'm having an acid flashback.
Embarrassing tattoo lol
People like this guy, I don't even know what to say. Lol

Tripple threat title match is up next, let's see what's up.
The video package before the match brings me back to the 90s(not a compliment)
Lmao @ buddy slipping on the intro.
liked death triangle, was a good match and a super dumb fucking finish, homeless guy interference, the plain lame squad wins.

Oh boy here comes my favorite porno actress toni storm, it's at this point that I realize I don't have enough alcohol in the house...I wonder if the bad porno acting girl is going to lose to the ugly soccer mom who recovered from a meth addiction.

Toni is kinda thick.

Boy oh boy, I went in thinking there was no way this would be worse than Becky Lynch vs Liv Morgan...I was wrong. Toni has a lot of work to do, this was a sloppy mess. I'll leave it at that because it already gave me a headache.

We interrupt this program to bring this breaking report... "Tony Khan is a fucking idiot."

Now back to the mud show.

Next up we have freshly squeezed vs the I think guy who fought will ospraey earlier now with a shaved head. It seems to me 90% of the roster is either edgy try hards or hipsters, definitely not my type of character but what do I know. Not really digging this match, it feels like I'm watching the same match over and over again all night(except the girls, that was just terrible) I grow tired of this, I'm officially bored.
Here comes the pockets gimmick, nothing stupid about this. Another safe spot from aew lol Tony Khan is determined to murder someone lmao
Anticlimactic ending to a supnpar match, color me surprised.

This is bad. I need a break. I'll be back with part two three four or however many parts it takes to get through this marathon.
 
He has an eye for talent. He did discover both Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill and Samantha Irvin as well as Braun Strowman... AEW fumbled Cargill and Henry, they could have used him more as a talent scout.
To me, I didn't know what was the point of having Henry there at AEW?...Because of his name and he was a good wrestler back in the day??...I heard he got a Wrestling Podcast and other things going so he will alright!!


Also, once again...How AEW fumbled Jade Cargill??

God-Of-War-420, You are something else brother!!... :lol:
 
How you don’t end this match on that?

Unfortunately we are far past the days of something like this ending a match even though it would have been believable.

A gripe of mine that may be permanent with AEW's world title scene is that it should be a triangle with Swerve (or whoever is the champ) at the top. But it's like a trapezoid with multiple people along with the champion on the plateau. It can make the champ look unimportant until his segment happens. There's just as much of an imbalance in character hierachy as there is cool stuff happening. But it's been like that.

*Edit*
This is the prime example of cool stuff happening. Bryan and Okada brawling in the crowd while Final Countdown plays New Jack style. Inject this shit in between my toes like a true fiend.

It was crazy cause the crowd was chanting "WE WANT MUSIC" after they music went off...lol.....AEW is known to do that sometimes!!..Keep that vibe going!!..
 
Yeah but how much of it is homegrown talent? Especially their women?

I'm not sure what you mean by "homegrown talent" because 98% of the wrestlers you see today wrestled in some indy promotion before joining WWE or AEW. It wasn't the case that AEW or WWE took these women off the street and trained them to become wrestlers (If that's what you mean by homegrown). All these women had some form of training prior.

Skye Blue
Julia Hart
Britt Baker
Kris Statlander
Jamie Hayter
Hikaru Shida
Willow Nightingale
Red Velvet
Riho
Serena Deeb
Athena
Billie Starkz
Deonna Purrazzo
Tay Melo
Emi Sakura
Mariah May
Toni Storm
Thunder Rosa

Part deux double or nothing electric boogaloo

Old lush Jericho vs shipoopi vs a homeless teen male prostitute from west Hollywood
God damn look at Jericho, what a fucking mess of a man.
Is there a wellness program in aew? If not Jericho should invest in some steroids and hgh asap
Crowd is dead, hook tries to revive them and for the first time I feel bad for the kid

Dice? Dice? Lol

They're throwing dice now lmao oh dear.

OMG Jericho with the lame kendo stick strikes lmao is this supposed to be funny?

Damn shipoopi damn near paralyzed everyone in the match. Yike.

Hook almost killed Jack reacher and then another shitty ending to a disaster of a match. Fuck that match, made me feel bad for hook and shibata(I'll even use his proper name)

Moxley vs giant bolo yueng
Wait... So if bolo beats the champion, he gets to face... The champion??? Tony is fucking autistic
I don't care, fast forwarding to the next match. Fuck these guys

Welp here comes the cage and the barbed wire, they're trying to kill edge I guess...
I like edge a lot, i don't want to shit talk him so I'll just say... Wtf was that?
Gangrel looking older than a mother fucker lol slow finishers left and right, just glad it's over and nobody died.
Don Callis is irritating as ever.

Willow vs WWE leftovers.
Did they just bust out Rosa Parks? LMFAO gtfoh
Crowd is completely dead as the CEO of swindling Tony Khan walks down.
Willow seems more over but she's not exactly setting the crowd on fire either.

This ring announcer is ass btw

So far it's a Sloppy Match but it's a masterpiece compared to Toni storms shit show lol we already know what Sasha money bags can do but willow still needs some time in the oven, Honestly something like NXT would do wonders for her. I propose a trade ricochet and Nia jax for willow. Let's make it happen Khan!

I'm going to go eat some spaghetti bolagnase I been working on all day and then I'll wrap this thing up

Ps Sasha banks of mone is fine, I would worship at the temple of Zod and eat of zod's blessings.

Part tres: the final countdown coming soon to a theatre near you.
 
Willow needs to join the New Day, trade her to the fed Khan you coward!

Ricochet and Nia jax for willow

Hell I'll throw in Carmelo hayes to sweeten the pot. Now pick up the phone tony you clown!

What I’m saying is @EPDC said Henry found Cargill and Bianca…they weren’t Indy darlings. He saw them before anyone else did and they were raw. So when you say he offered nothing….seems like he has a eye for talent.
 
Wait why you trading all that lol.
I see potential in her, especially paired up with the new day... Nia jax is boiled ass juice, ricochet is a flippy lifelong midcarder,(honestly it would be doing him a favor, he'd be much bigger at aew) and Carmelo hayes looked like a tiny baby next to Randy orton, he's bound for mid card glory/demotion back to NXT

I can see Willow being huge with the new day. Maybe I'm just punch drunk from watching double or nothing.
 
Terrible promos that make her sound like she had a developmental disorder and her slow shitty wrestling, she must suck a mean cock.
Wouldnt be too far off

wwe-wwe-liv-morgan.gif


..and probably the ball sac too if this is any indication :lol:

 
That shit does looks amateurish....all the money he's making and he gets a shitty jailhouse looking tattoo...

Oof. The chip is oddly shaped, it's also not consistent where the breaks are in the pattern on the chip, you have wonky letters with different shapes the O's don't match, also the way the ribbon goes behind the chip it doesn't make sense to come out in front where it does.

Hell why is the top ribbon behind the chip obscuring the letters? It would have been a better design choice to match the way the ribbon goes over the chip and show off more of that piss poor lettering. There's blowouts and the more you look at the chip itself the more you can see wrong with it.

This wouldn't get past the first round in ink master lol
 
Part three: the final chapter double or nothing
Spaghetti was good for anyone wondering, I can cook...

Swerve vs Christian cage

Everything aew attempts gives me "hey fellow kids" vibes. Swerve come out and play? Lmao ok

Christian looks great compared to Jericho and edge btw, they look like ran over dog shit.

Crazy that this isn't the main event, well it's not like swerve is their champion or anything.

Anyway sweve v Christian it was certainly one of the matches of all time. Lol it in fact was a match and now it is over.

The end.


Here we go
Welcome to the shit show indeed.

This is un. Fucking. Real.

The scattered fake fighting, the final countdown, this is embarrassing. Darby Allen wants to die

Once again I'm convinced that tony Khan has some form of seme high functioning autism.

Who thought this was a good idea?

The people I'm watching this with are actually mad at me lmao big mad. I for one have enjoyed laughing at this poor excuse for a wrestling event.

This anarchy up their own asshole match is just hilariously bad, it's like the room of wrestling. So bad it's almost good. Almost, but not really.

Aaaand they lit a guy on fire lmao

An exploding chair....

Spiked rainmaker looked like shit, okada must be beat to hell from his long career since he moves like an old man

Cooool the elite win. That was certainly a
choice they made lol this is awful


Overall on the meltzers scale it's a solid 20/5 stars, plus Japanese people where involved so add an extra 5 stars!

On the god of war scale I'd give it a 5/10 which is an improvement to the last shit I watched from aew. A lot of pointless weapon spots, no real stakes for any of the matches, in ring psychology is almost non existent, but there's definitely some talent on the roster, if only TK could get out of their way and hire some professionals. Production wise it could be worse, but it definitely could be better. The announcers are often uninterested and bore me to death.
