AEW - All Elite Wrestling (*Spoilers for Latest Show*)

Super-Rush

Did that really just happen?

Kinda cringey.

It’s not even been 2 hours and AEW have already jumped the shark.

That stunt from Cody was by far the smarkiest thing I’ve seen on a wrestling show.

It's **** like that that can come back and bite you if it all goes tits up.

I don't like the spider camera angle.

That cody entrance was everything I didn’t want to see from aew you’ve put on a good show that’s just tna cringe level stuff

seandotcomm

my stream isnt running well and i missed whatever cody did. what happened?

martyos121

It got plenty of cheers too, that’s the odd thing. I don’t think I know any wrestling fans who’d be a fan of that sort of shîte, but I definitely don’t want to meet any.

Yay blading,might have gone a little too deep.

Super-Rush

The ring mat is in bits.

He cut way too deep there.

sky88

Holy crap that is crazy amount of blood

TimesArrow

Cody made a snide remark about Bayley too yesterday and it got cheers. He mocked the 24/7 title and it got cheers. It's just those type of "WWE sucks!" fans.

Same idiots probably have a WWE Network subscription of course.

Bret Hart

Eddie levels of bleeding.

Bret Hart

Great match,storytelling was fantastic.

They’re ambitious, no doubt about that, but this sort of bitterness and smarky crap is only going to hold them back. Taking shots at a billion dollar corporation and trying to appease the fans who’ve grown tired of that corporation is operating at a really small, petty level and not exactly targeting a huge demographic when you think about it.

I really want them to defy the odds and give the world a proper alternative, but the signs aren’t good at all.

Yes that was your WCW/NWA throwback complete with heavy bleeding, great storytelling, Dusty Rhodes two sons, JR on commentary,Baby Earl as the ref.

All that was missing was Cornette and Heenan as managers.

I enjoyed that a lot.

martyos121

The wrestling has been pretty great tonight. Still have Bucks vs. Lucha Bros and Kenny vs. Y2J to come and probably another decent surprise if we’re lucky.

It’s been a solid show inside the ring, credit where it’s due.

I've enjoyed the show so far, but maybe that is just because it's new and different. Hopefully their weekly show goes well and we see some good matches & storylines though.

I stopped watching WWE years ago because I wasn't enjoying it, but I was up a few weeks ago so I decided to turn it on and it was the episode where Vince announced that wild card thing, and apparently that episode has gone down as one of the worst raw shows ever? I certainly picked a good week to give it another shot

I agree about the sledgehammer bit being really cringe. That's the only part I haven't liked so far.

TimesArrow

wow bret hart..

sorry but wtf is jack whitehall doing here. a true goober

I'm similar to you. I was a massive fan but just got really really bored with WWE shortly after they bought WCW. TNA has a good five minutes but it was generally ****e.

There's something different about this. The production isn't bad, I expected the wrestling to be good and it has been, the venue and the crowd size makes it feel like a big deal and recognisable faces and voices make it appealing and familiar to returning fans which is what they want.

Glad I bought this now

martyos121

He has a punchable face and cuts a decent heel promo. Haven’t seen him wrestle yet but MJF is looking like a solid acquisition for AEW.

sky88

Mjf will be a huge star

martyos121

That truly is a gorgeous championship title.

martyos121

Stop putting Whitehall over JR! :mad:

J. Marston

That is a nice world title. Would've been nice to get a proper up close look at it though.

Also, that hot black girl with the blue hair at ringside is very distracting.

sky88

So I’m guessing this was supposed to end at 4 but no chance now with the matches left
