We were talking about it last night, you think page goes over or Jericho maybe steals it and Page chases until they have a weekly show then gets the belts that way you can sell Jericho as your champion to get casual fans to watch Tuesday nights
Been a long ass time since I was excited for wrestling with ROH's roster having been drained by NXT a few years ago. Hadn't even watched wrestling since then. AEW was legit. Would love to see them go get some indie guys or guys toiling away in IMPACT or NXT or being wasted by WWE like Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards, Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Chris Dijak, Johnny Gargano, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomassa Ciampa, Kushida, Cedric Alexander, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Shelton Benjamin, Sami Callahan, Low Ki, Colt Cabana, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Okada, Ibushi, Marty Scurll, Michinoku, Jay Lethal, Briscoes, Kenny King, Rhett Titus Obviously not all of them because not enough time to properly support all of them, especially with no weekly show until October, but just a few would really beef up that mid card and make it awesome. Say like 4-5 for now. Would give them some younger, promising guys with some name recognition who have main event experience outside of WWE while also some guys in their prime who are really good. Older guys like Jericho and Dustin still have it but it's not the best long term for them to be at that main event level
He hit the exposed turnbuckle. Then when Earl was throwing out Brandy you can see Dustin grab the blade under the ring apron and do the job
A lot of those WWE guys are in big roles for the company. But so was Ambrose before he bailed so you never truly know given how much money AEW is throwing out.
Marty will be in after his contract expires in November Bandido is free in January Have a strong feeling Brian Cage, John Morrison/Impact and Tessa Blanchard end up in AEW over the next 12 months It’s free agent szn
Agree on the rest, but I think Tessa signed a multi year deal with Impact just last year. But bring Taya with Johnny. Also, AEW will allegedly drug test, so maybe no Cage, idk about that though. I was kinda surprised they signed Allie though, so who knows. If things keep going the way they are maybe Sasha eventually does jump ship when her contract is up.
The NXT roster was in action this weekend as usual and Daytona Beach was the destination for a live event Saturday night. Check out the full results from the show below. Brennan Williams defeated Sam Shaw Jessamyn Duke defeated Lacy Lane Mansoor Al-Shehail defeated Adrian Jaoude Rinku Singh defeated Cezar Bononi KUSHIDA defeated Brendan Vink Matt Riddle comes out for a promo but is attacked by Trevor Lee. A match is then established. Jermaine Haley w/ Malcolm Bivens defeated Eric Bugenhagen Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel defeated Jeff Parker & Matt Lee Matt Riddle defeated Trevor Lee
According to Dave and Bryan, the google trends were 4X All In. It would rank above the typical WWE PPV, but below Mania, the Rumble and SummerSlam, and well behind a UFC PPV.
Show was great. Not sure how they're going to keep the hype up with such a long time before the next PPV and weekly shows. Really gonna have promote and push this shit to social media.
Would love to see AR Fox and Matt Cross in AEW too. Take as many of the Lucha Underground talents as you can now that it's dead, imo. Wonder if they touch Jack Swagger.
When Mox was coming down, JR hit us with the " what the hell? Good God almighty, the roof just came off" haha sweet
JR showed at the end why having him around is worth the little mistakes he's making. No one can sell a big emotional moment like JR. I think he'll settle in once he's more familiar with all the guys and what not. He killed it during the Cody/Dustin match.
Just watched the Battle Royale. Page is a star. MJF is a star. Some fun surprises in the match. Really enjoyed PN News getting a payday. Luchasaurus definitely has a look to him.
Been up for a while on this site http://watchwrestling.in/watch-aew-double-or-nothing-2019-5-25-19-online/
Yeah I was going to watch it there but I checked wootube too and there's no one on so its solid quality.
Lucha bros are great but honestly they are both too good to be in a tag team. Penta is an elite level heel and Fenix might be the best in ring wrestler they have after Kenny. Want to strengthen the mid card? Break that team up immediately and slot everyone down
They want to push tag team wrestling. I'm not sure if you see them break up anytime soon. But I agree both are extremely talented.
Hopefully they aren't afraid to let them do both tag and singles work like WWE would be. Really not hard to move between the two with simple storytelling, so I have high hopes they'll be able to do that successfully.
look at all the excitement and optimism itt and people were upset/pretending this wasn't a big deal when they initially turned down WWE contracts to do this thing
It's fantastic for viewers and wrestling in general. Right now is the honeymoon. Wait till they fuck up a booking decision or two and start pushing washed up guys because it draws on TV. Right now good for everyone imho I echo the wishes that they would be on regular TV now vs later.
I just find it hard to believe in whatever merit win/loss system they're claiming to be implementing. But I really don't care how much wins and losses "matter" as long as it's booked well, it makes sense, and there's continuity. It's a pretty fucking low bar WWE has set.
