So far AEW hasn't really made me want to run back out and purchase cable television for their impending debut. I'm buying this show tomorrow and honestly if it doesn't deliver strong I'm probably going to lose interest in yet another wrestling product. Anyone else buying the show, or otherwise interested?

Buying a pay-per-view? Nah. I'm not really in the business of buying a single show for $50, no matter who runs it. $40 for Bound for Glory with a 3 month sub to iMPACT! Plus is a deal I'd buy. But this? Hard pass.
If I can find the time, I might stream it on a third party site though.

Basically I'm in the same boat. I also don't really want to pat $50 to see the Bucks put themselves over the Lucha Bros again, even though PAC/Omega should be fucking great. They're definitely trying to sell the show on "rumors" that Punk is gonna be there, because for some reason smarks still want to see him step back in the ring.

I won't be throwing down 50 bucks to watch, but i will watch tomorrow via some streaming site.
I am just waiting for the tv show myself before saying yay or nay about aew. I didn't watch last months event, but i have liked everything outside of the young bucks. (Not a fan of the buckeros).
I hope they do okay myself. Another option for the guys and gals to go and hopefully get paid, another show to watch. Options are good for us. If you have time to watch.

Awesome Kong is based as fuck and as far as I'm aware a biological women. I've been up all night and caught Cody/Dillinger. I've noticed something and I need to relent, Cody is good at one thing. He does overbooked attitude era style shit very well. He'll never be a 5 star general or a master of psychology, but he really does come into his own doing overbooked shit. He truly is becoming HHH and he probably doesnt realize it. Poetry. |

Must by that Rose girl, I think. Sad to report that I spent $50 and got so bored I went to bed halfway through.

Watching now.
First match, 6 man tag match.
It was good, little bit of humor, nice, and if you saw one SCU match, you have seen them all. It was decent.
Pac/Omega.
Felt it went a tick long. Nice to see Pac win.
Side note. They need more room at ring side for all of the flips and shit.
Crackle barral whatever nonsense.
I don't give 2 shits about anyone in this match. 2 wannabe Raven posers and someone not named Eric Bugenhagen. Ive got to poop and if it's still on when I'm done, we're going to fastforward city.

BFs vs Dark Order....
I'd rather see DO v NXT era Ascension creeper on a pole match.
Ive seen enough the best buds to hope this match doesn't go on very long.

Shida v 12 year old girl
I don't know much about Shida, she is a good follow on IG, but she needs to all Asuka and lay those kicks and knees in hard. They all looked weak here. I think she'll be a big star for them down the road.
Sidenote.
Last year the womens match featured Tessa, Green, Dr. Brit and M.Rayne. only 1 of them is with the company. Not sure what that means.
Time for Cody v the perfect 10. The intro for cody, stupid. Leave ur fucking dog at home.

Nice to see Spears get an opportunity to shine. Something he never got on smackdown. Decent match. I liked the Arn spot.
Time to skip the lucha bros vs buckeros match. I don't care enough to watch.

The ladder match was a disaster, even more of a clusterfuck than the Cracker Barrel fight. At the end of the day, I wish AEW well. As a fan of wrestling, in general, I'm sure there will come a time where they do something I want to see. I'm just starting to get tired of this new wave pro wrestling shit.

Main Event was okay, a little slow paced but it was okay. I'm not sure if i would have picked Y2J if we were picking results, but we'll see how it plays out.
Overall it was a decent event. Not a stinkor, not sure if it was better than nxt uk takeover as i haven't watched that but it wasn't the worst event I've seen. I think when they are tv every week, with better build ups to some of these matches, it'll get better.
It could be worse. You could roh, who no one is watching right now.

Like I said, he's booking himself as HHH without a shred of irony, complete with involving his wife, down to minor details like ostentatious entrances. It's otherworldly.

Just watched the ME. Imagine making the focus of your inaugural Championship match about the female referee and letting her go into business for herself throughout the entire match. Ridiculously distracting and obnoxious.

Glad someone else caught this, I didn't want to be the asshole and sound misogynist but you're right. It's the era we live in I suppose.

Ridiculously distracting and obnoxious. I know that WWE is making a point to hire more female refs. And I think that's a fine idea. But what's this about AEW's ref? What did she do, I haven't seen it, and I probably won't. |

She was all over the place the entire match and really drawing attention to herself. I'm all fine with lady-refs (I like Carr a lot) but this was extra obnoxious, and I'd feel the same about any other ref doing it. I like refs having a bit of personality and having their own quirks and it's fine if there's a story involved (like what they did a few months ago with Corbin and John Cone) but otherwise knock that shit off. Red Shoes is really annoying in this way too.

Next to Tommy Young, I'd frame Red Shoes on my officiating Mt. Rushmore. |
