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

Very solid tag team opener.

Class Taz brought back the FTW title

Really good moment

So far so good with tonight's show

This is a lot better than I thought it would be, but dammit if it doesn't look like Jericho wrestling his son at times.

Oragne is just so bloody good with that gimmick.

What exactly is that gimmick?

Alvarez reporting the bruising on Colt was legit.

Ouch.

HHH in an interview with Sports Illustrated openly admits that the WWE is counter programming AEW and will continue to do so.

Seems to be working. 3-0 NXT over the last 3 weeks in the ratings bumfight war.

How long before TK is the head of the Khan Corporation, trying to keep the world title off Stone Cold Cody?

Must say I nearly jumped outta my skin when Orange Cassidy nearly took Jerichos head off with the superkick!!

Such a great match and Orange Cassidy really does have all the tools to reach the very top.

Just wish there was a crowd there for it.

I am absolutely astonished at how people see Cassidy as anything above midcard.

Undersized comedy gimmick with no promo.

When has that ever drawn money outside of the more niche, dedicated fanbase?

When has anyone star drawn money lately?

Hes doing well at the moment, the current gimmick is working fine.

Silly me! I misunderstood "getting to the very top". Clearly this doesn't mean drawing money any more?

So what's the measure of success nowadays? Few hundred people talking about you on Twitter?

By the way, do yourself a favour and don't look up Dynamite's all time worst viewed segment. It may feature a certain "top guy" that's doing "well" at the moment.

Personally I like OC. Ive enjoyed his work thus far in AEW. Make no mistake I don't think he is the second coming of The Rock or Austin..... hell I dont think hes a main eventer in his current form. I like him in the same way I enjoyed The Hurricane tangle with The Rock.

Is he drawing? I really cant say I watch AEW for him alone, nor do I watch any show for 1 guy. He sells good merch, maybe in a way akin to Zack Ryder at the height of his fame. Fans seem to enjoy him, well the majority seem to at least.

I dont think wrestling as a whole is a successful business in the US. Ratings are low across the board. Hes as successful as anyone at the moment though. Good for him I say.

I was just about to write it's like the Hurricane and The Rock!

Fun gimmick that will have a shelf life , probably have a taken seriously angle eventually

It most certainly has a shelf life, it will grow stale eventually but it all depends on hows its booked.

OC as a character or a performer will need to evolve long term. Right now, its over and Im fairly entertained and happy with the booking thus far.

Exactly. Riggt now OC is fine in his role and I see no issue with him rubbing shoulders with top tier performers.

Is he a main eventer in his current form? No.

Could the wrestler or character evolve to the point where he could? Probably, anything is possible.
