AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

As someone said earlier, a turn by the Bucks then Omega siding with them is a better swerve than just turning Hangman like they are teasing.

 

the loaded punch is one of the oldest tropes in professional wrestling

 

yeah some brass bucks or a roll of quarters. A pinky ring? Cmon

 

Cody looks like a dickhead with that neck tat.

 

Brandi is NOT happy about that neck tattoo

 

turn will happen at the war games match.

one would think there going to do inner circle vs the elite

 

fuckin hell at this Guevara/Allin start

 

low key may have been the best match of the ppv

 

this tag title match, what a damn ride

 

Fuck yeah Drew!

 

those little teases afterwards

 

This has been a great first hour of RAW.

 

Was that Alisters first main roster loss?

 

What the fuck did Ricochet do to get buried like this?

 

Hoping this is part of a storyline that maybe links him with Rollins crew?

 

Random thought

whatever happened with shamus? Is he hurt or something?

 

He returned to Smackdown about 6 weeks ago. He’s been beating up Shorty Gable

 

Makes sense since I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually watched Smackdown

 

Trust me when I say you can keep skipping that program

 

That tag match was good. Give me those four in a fatal four way at mania. Please

 

Alastair vs AJ in a no DQ match gives me a semi chub

 

I want Orton to punt Beth in the head or a conchairto.

 

Yes Randy... yes

 

The only way this goes is the update was “he is fine” and he is about to come out to lay out Randy

 

That’s also OK. But seriously... double chair

 

Oh I forgot, and point to the WrestleMania sign as the camera fades to black

 

Lyric and ruby? Jesus edge, you just trying to make your kids strippers when they grow up?

 

Yes!!!

 

He’s doing it for the kids

 

“I was there to teach my boys how to treat a women”

2 minutes later...

RKO

 

This is my Mania main event

 

WM card. I read it could be 16 matches. I'm adding a 17th simply because it's HHH and he will likely have a match. Whether he's willing to put someone over is another question.

1. Brock/Drew
2. Roman/Goldberg
3. Cena/Fiend
4. Edge/Orton
5. Taker/AJ
6. Rollins/KO
7. Lynch/Bazler
8. Charlotte/Ripley
9. Bayley/Naomi (??)
10. Banks/Stratus (??)
11. Miz &Morrison/New Day/Usos
12. Street Profits/AOP (??)
13. Braun/Corbin/Sheamus (?? Title match)
14. Men's Battle Royal
15. Women's Battle Royal
16. Rey/Andrade/Carillo/Garza (Title match)
17. HHH/Aleister Black (??)

That's a lot of wrestling but I think it covers everything going and all the titles.

 

don’t think 10,12 or 17 happen.

Also people putting out these rumored matches fucking suck. (Not blaming your personally but the dirt sheets).

 

Agreed and that's why I put it out the way I did.

 

I just wish the dirt sheets would no spoil returns, debuts or possible matches for mega events like Rumble, Summer Slam and Mania. The other shows... spoil away.

But they really take the excitement out of build ups and this is from someone who never checks any of these sites yet the info always trickles out and ruins shit. I'm still pissed over the Edge stuff.

 

would make a ton of sense. Character wise they would mesh.

 

It's like '97 WWF up in here, somebody get Los Boricuas on the phone

 

Race wars Gang warfare

 

If Jake is going to be a regular going forward, they have to get him into wardrobe. Not a good look.

 

NXT is becoming meh. I used to watch both at the same time in my office, but the past few months I'd just rather watch AEW on the big screen and catch NXT the day after. I'm not even sure they could do anything different, it's just AEW feels like can't miss TV now. And there's so many things on the horizon to be excited about. The War Games match, the reveal of the Exalted One, the debuts of Archer/Hardy/Lee, MJF's ascension into the title scene (I think they mentioned his undefeated streak last night for this reason), etc. Meanwhile NXT is letting Roddy Strong main event two weeks in a row. Maybe they need Killer Kross more than the main roster right now.

 

I’ve said it from the start... AEW needs to get out of Full Sail. They don’t need to tour in 10-15k professional stadiums. You can book smaller venues like AEW was in last night and it will be fine. College basketball stadiums are good places as well.

As for the Strong point it’s not him who is being pushed. The storyline is actually pretty good. But this all in a effort to push Dream to a world title shot at Mania against Cole.

The gargano interview was excellent. There is still a ton to great stuff on both shows. But AEW has more going on right now coming off a PPV. Especially with Jericho leaving for two months to tour with Fozzy

 

In thought the interview and the end of the Dream match were excellent. Dream getting that he had Cole trapped was cool. I just think rest of NXT lacks any substance.

 

I've been more of an NXT guy myself and starting actually getting annoyed with AEW. The last few weeks have started to flip and AEW had a nice run towards their PPV and delivered at the PPV. However, I did not like the Dynamite card at all last night. I'm sorry, but PAC vs Chuck will never get a nod from me. I do like the potential of the new Devils Triangle stable though. I also could've done without Moxley's pandering promo. Was never a fan of his anyways.

 

for me, AEW has the draw of employing the best wrestler in the world, Orange Cassidy.

 

My guess is Lance Archer.

 

AEW has done an amazing job with Darby Allen. I had never heard of the guy and was super skeptical when he debuted. Now he is must see TV when he's in the ring. They've also done an amazing job of making Sammy Guevara one of the most hateable guys in wrestling. I thought the main event was great last night. Also was awesome how they teed up Jericho leaving to go on tour and then he prevailed anyway. Nice subtle swerve for the smarks out there.
