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

I have to say, you area really reaching with these criticisms.

Jericho has been used perfectly. His last appearance in WWE was playing a guitar for Elias. Doesn't feel like they got everything they could out of him the last decade. I suppose he did elevate Fandango to main event level that one Wrestlemania though, right?

They had Allin go to a time limit draw with their biggest star on their second or third show. He also worked with and was not beaten by the world champion. The idea that lucky played a part is nonsense. They identified he had star potential and presented him as important from the get go.


MJF was never a babyface. He would flip the crowd or DDP off when he was with Cody. He would work against babyfaces, like Page. The whole gimmick was that he was a heel but Cody was the only one who saw redeeming qualities in him.

Ambrose is not a second rate Steve Austin. That's a second rate comparison though. Characters have some similar traits but he's just being the same Mox he was on the indies a decade ago. Last I checked he doesn't flip people off, stomp mudholes, drink beer, etc etc. Every badass character isn't Stone Cold. And I say this as someone who doesn't love Mox. It's not my cup of tea, but it's authentic as hell and the people love it.

And yeah, Matt Hardy is still selling that schtick. I ain't buying either.

I'm all for constructive criticism but I get the sense you just wanted to put a negative spin on AEW.

Dynamite was a decent show after a very good PPV.

Moxley and Jerichos interaction was decent Jericho may be a shadow of his former self in the ring, which is fair considering his age but he is still excellent on the stick. Mox is so genuine and its hard not to appreciate him.

SCU vs Dark Order was fine though, Dark Order are totally jobbers. The exalted one has a massive task ahead who ever is in that role.

Big Swole continues to impress me.

While Im a fan of Pac and the Lucha Bros and Im sure they will be grand together, I dont think AEW needs another faction or group. Id prefer both Fenix and Pentagon to be singles stars, I believe they offer more as a face and heel respectively.

Page and Matt Jackson story continues and its very enjoyable. Page is a really showing what he can do both inside and out of rhe ring. Delighted for him.

Jericho winning and standing tall was a nice surprise as I assumed hed be written off. Damn you Jericho.

MJF continues his good character work, pity about his in ring skills.

Cody and Jake was enjoyable. Jake is so damn good, but I do wonder where this will lead. Some suggesting Matt Hardy or Luke Harper, neither feud fills me with too much excitement yet. But AEW do have a great knack of making me care.

I think its going to be Lancer Archer from NJPW most recently

AEW needs to alert views more about who's who, Jake strolled out with some lad and they say his name and that it... am I supposed to know him from where?

Looks like next weeks Dynamite has been postponed. People with tickets for the live show have been notified it has been rescheduled for the 8th July and their tickets will be valid then.

Bit of a middle of the road episode this week.

Cody vs Ortiz was passable. Lance Archer as Jakes client is fine by me, early days to be fair.

The Hangmans mystery partner was a let down. I give Dustin credit, hes working hard for his age and working a lot better here than he was in WWE, but I didnt care for him as the partner. After all the hype and speculation it felt like a let down.

I did like the Matt Jackson Hangman story progression and I already cant wait to see where it leads. I was hoping hed be the partner here to further progress the story and I see no reason he couldnt have been.

Death Triangle are great. While I did have my reservations about another group being formed, and while I think each man here is capable of being higher on the card, I shall enjoy this group for now.

MJF , B and B vs JE was fine. Nothing spectacular but passable.

The womens match was also fine but we beed more character development for each lady.

Baker and Big Swoles interaction was short but enjoyable. Bakers lines are killer but her delivery needs work.

I enjoyed Daniels video and I am interested in seeing who the Dark Order leader is despite the ****balls the stable is

Overall nothing too spectacular, some small high points but mostly passable show.

I am assuming tonight's edition is behind closed doors like all of WWE's programming has been recently

It is and I'm very intrigued with how they go about it. They could do with a more story/vignette heavy episode to get more people over. The Librarian vids on the latest road to episodes have been great!

Not sure if Blood and Guts is going ahead is it?
I do believe we're getting the reveal of the Exalted One tonight. That could offer plenty of opportunities for vignettes and off site promos which would be perfect for the current dilemma.

Looks so more energized and engaging than the recent WWE shows. Good call with the hard cam facing the entrance. Love that perspective. Reminds me of the WWF Attitude game

Keep Brandi on announcing too so much better than Justin Roberts

Only realised I’ve TNT on my tv in the bedroom. Have only seen AEW on YouTube previously so going to watch a bit of it now

What’s actually good for aew is they’ve seen some of the issues wwe we’re having last 2 shows and can tweak and improve which wwe didn’t from smacdown to raw

Having people watching on shouting during the match helps imo so far as opposed how the WWE have been doing things
