If you're watching something you clearly dislike that's a you problem. Hate watching any form of entertainment is just dumb.
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Clearly you have taken offense to what I said about AEW. Being Mid card company. WCW light.
AEW is no where near perfect and the booking has been shit for months. I went from watching all 3 shows to now only watching Dynamite. It's not on par with WWE and it's never going to be. AEW is essentially PWG with a huge budget and a TV deal. Once again now that you know what AEW is and you're still watching it then you need to better manage your free time.
I could nit pick about the head turning, but fuck it, he committed
I hate Tony's booking but when he commits to stuff like this I love it because it did get mainstream coverage which means getting new eyeballs on the product. Whether it works or not who knows however I applaud the effort. This is apart of what makes wrestling fun.
Looks like last night's stunt only made the ratings worse
Still don't understand why Swerve didn't open the show and cut a promo as the new champ
Yes, there was NBA playoffs, hockey, pickleball tournament, the new 24-hour gas station down the street, yadda yadda yadda.....
Now watch, they'll blame Swerve for these low-ass ratings
Yeah that was weird. Willow got her little segment. Weird Swerve got nothing like he not the champ.
I give TK a little leeway for trying to do things differently then we see accustom to but for your champ not to have the first segment on the show with promo…..makes no sense.
NBA and AEW don’t even have the same demo do they?
They was cooking him down here on the radio too but they had no idea it was a work or an angle lol…..
Put your phone brightness on MEGAWATT for the 3rd slide
Who said that I was watching the show.
Dope ass future story
Haven't watched wrestling most of the week (NBA playoffs) and only caught clips of Dynamite on Twitter. I know a lot of this was probably already covered, but here are few takes I had as I'm playing catch up....
- Why wasn't Swerve booked better during Dynamite? Like seriously, you have your new champ come out and wrestle an ROH guy without giving him a presentation or promo but are waiting for Collision?
- Chris Jericho (of all people) had a dedicated promo, but not your top champion?
- Mercedes is horrible. Every time she's on screen it's cringy as fuck. And WHY is she going for the TBS title and not the top Women's title? Fuck it, why the hell does she even get an immediate title shot? Lolz
- Toni Storm....I still don't get her. If I were watching live, her character would have made me want to reach for my remote. It was interesting for a minute but it's just corny now and not in a fun way.
- I'm glad AEW is finally trying to do a legit storyline, but the whole nWo style program just looks like a poor ass imitation. ECW's bWo (Blue World Order) were more intimidating than The Elite. That "bump" TK took looked awful but I give hm credit for wearing the neck brace during the NFL draft.
- I saw the ratings of Dynamite's episode, didn't think they would be under 700K. Yes the playoffs (NBA and NHL) may have played a role but they have not shown any growth in their television or in person audiences, hopefully this Elite vs AEW storyline can help them....I don't have any faith in their booking though. No one tunes in for the YB. Hell no one tunes in for Okada, Ospreay or Mercedes.

They do actually.
The NBA playoffs were on last week…..
I agree with everything except Toni Storm. I think he is doing great.
WWE ratings have been down since WM, but that's to be expected since the product was so hot going into WM.
The big difference is that WWE has their new TV deals already signed and are clearly not going anywhere.
AEW on the other hand still doesn't have a new TV deal, their TV ratings have been declining for MONTHS (if not years) now and they're still a new company.
Hopefully, AEW can turn things around soon because if they don't things may start getting dicey....
I been asking it for months….i do not get this Toni Storm shit. I think she’s boring.
It's weird. I feel like the gimmick while originally interesting, has run its course.
I guess I'm the only one that still likes her new gimmick.
It's the best work she's ever done and it has her more over than ever.
In the WWE and before this new gimmick in AEW, her character was just blah and not interesting at all.
Goddamn......with buys so low, WWE minus whale draft the entire TNA brand tonight on SmackDown and make it the developmental brand for NXT.
Shame, they had a lot of buzz at the end of last year when they chose to go back to the TNA name and D'Amore was still in charge. What a fall.....

Nah Toni is amazing. As far as wrestling gimmicks getting stale, that's symptomatic of how much wrestling content we consume now. The Undertaker would be an absolute meme if he debuted in the modern era if the character even got any traction at all.
