    The fuck are you talking about? All the shit you mentioned would be boring and derivatve. But they can absolutely do over the top shit and people love it. Everyone loves Firefly Funhouse. Braun trying to murder Roman was entertaining as shit. Joe messing with AJ's family was mostly well recieved as far as I recall. Hell I loved Lucha Underground and it was pure absurdity. The difference, again, is presentation. I don't get how you can't see that.

    Also, you're definitely wrong. I guarantee you could hit the way back machine and find plenty of people bitching about AE booking and storylines. Wrestling fans love complaining about wrestling more than they do wrestling.

    Should’ve found a way to get him and his wife involved, along with R-truth

    EDIT: this is who played Bobby’s ex

    I stared at that for a long time thinking about the first Raw of the decade, which was when Triple H won the WWF Championship back from Big Show before defending against Mick Foley in a street fight at the Rumble.

    And then I realized that was TWENTY years ago, not ten.

    Now I'm sad. Old and sad.

    Haven’t watched either show. Probably won’t even tune into NXT since it’s a recap show.

    nobody talking about AEW in a week they are running the only live show isn’t a good sign. Tuning in now

    It was an okay show. The matches are still too long. The weird arena set up made them look minor league for the first time on Dynamite.

    Maybe it’s because of Wednesday being the night I look forward to for my weekly wrestling now or maybe the move to Friday messed it up but I don’t even remember that Smackdown is on anymore. Like to the point that Fridays at 8 I’m saying how there is nothing ever on TV on Friday nights and it never even occurs to me that Smackdown is starting.

    Starts at 2 am eastern tonight, midnight tomorrow

    Tonight is probably the better night wrestling-wise, tomorrow stronger on story

    This is fine as a primer, although I think their predictions are fairly well off https://www.cagesideseats.com/2020/...shi-naito-switchblade-liger-jericho-tanahashi

    Tonight, Archer-Mox will fucking rule and Hiromu-Ospreay could steal the weekend

    That’s before Naito-Jay and Okada-Ibushi. Show will take a bit to get started, but the last two hours may be the best in the world in 2020.

    Night two has Jericho-Tana, which they’ve turned into something incredibly interesting with the AEW-NJPW angle.

    Also has Liger’s match and - hopefully for my LIJ Bros - Naito’s coronation as Crown Prince Dickhead

    My 3 year old woke up around 3 to get in our bed. Perfect alarm for WK. Made my way downstairs and watched it in and out of consciousness. Fantastic from top to bottom for the parts I was awake for. Tomorrow night will be much tougher with a midnight start. They have to crown Naito.

    Big shout out to TDE Wrestling on Twitter. Woke up this morning clicked on there timeline and got up to speed on NJPW. Caught a few matches on replay and thought the Osprey match was best of the night. Main event was also great.

    I think having wrestling on Friday or Saturday night is pretty stupid. It works if you're going to the event, but to sit down and watch just seems like a bad spot.

    Agree as a weekly show I agree. I was cool with NXT takeovers on Saturday’s and I’m fine with AEW running it’s PPVs as well.

    Tuning in weekly... fuck that

    Smackdown has turned into a DVR FF 30 minute watch.

    Night one had the better matches.

    Think it’s interesting they are rolling with the UE storyline.

    Seems like progress may have been made between NJPW and AEW.
    Jericho wearing the title. Mox leaving as champ.
