fresquinho Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm happy to see that there's an AEW Discussion Thread on PSNProfiles!!!! AEW is great and I love everything about the format! THANK GOD Cody and Tony Khan exist. That's all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 First it was Jericho introducing his inner circle. Then it was Moxley venting his frustration. Now, Cody showed what he can do with a mic when the shackles are off. Not gonna say it was the greatest show AEW has put on (they seemed like they felt they had to save everyone for the schmoz at the end) but even their "mediocre" shows are delivering a constant stream of moments that generate goosebumps for wrestling fans.

ClownSyndicate Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Aew sucks. They barely have a roster. Their womans division is a joke. The tag team division sucks since they only have scu. They have moxley page jericho mjf rhodes and guevara. Everyone else sucks. They are a joke who will never compete with the wwe. God bless nwa power for keeping wrestling alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Couldn't watch the PPV because I was at work bu I'm hearing Moxley and Omega put on a display that was worthy of being called an "unsanctioned" match. I know hardcore matches like that aren't for everyone and plenty of people won't like it (which is 100% fine) but when you advertise a true anything goes match it does matter that those involved deliver *cough* Hell in a Cell *cough*. Can't wait to see the Cody/MJF feud, pretty sure we've all been waiting for that inevitable heel turn and those two are gonna be amazing against each other. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

skidmarkgn Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 If they go the route of a feud between Moxley and Allin, I can't even imagine how violent the blowoff match will be. Also, AEW needs to come to Seattle ASAP, if only just to see the hero's welcome Allin would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmadrox Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Tonight's show was the first time IN YEARS that I walked away feeling...fulfilled. It was such an odd feeling too, because I think I actually enjoyed a wrestling show for once, and I forgot what it felt like to do that. I can't wait for next Wednesday's show.

That's funny, I thought this was their weakest show so far. Don't get me wrong, it had some seriously great shit (Moxley/Allin, Fenix/Jackson, Jericho/Mic) but the absence of almost all their top players kinda hurt.

SelectiveGamer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I don't know why... But for some reason I'm worried Britt Baker is now going to disappear for showing up on camera on NXT. I hope I'm wrong. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 T-minus (probably 90 days or so) until "Luke Harper" inevitably shows up. Sin Cara and the Ascension, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelectiveGamer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Luke Harper seems likely yeah. Not sure about Ascension but I wouldn't be surprised if Sin Cara shows up on AEW as well. WWE finally released them after pretty much keeping them prisoner for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I swear, MJF might be the best heel in the company INDUSTRY right now!! Everything about that guy screams natural heel and he's 100% running with it, down to putting that ring on his finger, and he's only 23 freakin' years old. Last week was a bit of a stumble but last night was a great recovery. I still hate whatever Brandi Rhodes is doing (there really only needs to be one Dark Order style faction) but everything else is average to amazing, and I can't wait to see what's going on with Darby and Cody.

SelectiveGamer Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Since I've been watching this for awhile now... Here are my favorites so far Cody (Rhodes) Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) Kenny Omega (probably only because of the video game references. lol) The Young Bucks That's... pretty much it. No one else has really 'caught my eye' so to speak. So basically... I like 'The Elite.' lol. Also... no women either. I like seeing Kharma (Awesome Kong) again but she hasn't really had a match. None of the women have really 'impressed' me. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not criticizing you or anything, it's an honest question. I'd also put Darby Allin in there but I'm biased because, for me, he's a hometown boy.

All of those that you mentioned seem to be decent at being annoying so if that means they are good at being bad then I guess yes?

SelectiveGamer Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I think Darby Allin is starting to impress me. He kind of reminds me of Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley in a weird sort of way. Or maybe Jeff Hardy without the drug abuse. He gets the crap beaten out of him every time but keeps coming back for more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright my man, about AEW not living up to the hype (WWE thread) I guess it depends on which hype you're talking about. When it comes to them being the WWE killer some were wanting then, no, definitely not. When it comes to them being a viable alternative that's loaded with talent right out of the gate then I 100% think they're delivering. The one biggest misstep I think they had was sacrificing their true top guys to try and build other stars, which sounds weird because one of the WWE's biggest problems is that they do the exact opposite. Before the new year the Elite were jobbing left and right and it kind of killed a lot of momentum for the company overall, I'm not mad at it though because it looks like it there's a long term "redemption" angle in place (don't know if you saw the new years day episode, and if you didn't the show opened with a video package of the Elite wanting once again prove they're the best), which leads me into one of their biggest strengths, long term booking. Cody and MJF, Dustin and Hager, Mox's rise to #1 contender, Pac's obsession with being overlooked (and feud with Kenny Omega), Hangman's looming heel turn, those are just "off the top of my head" feuds and story lines that have been being built since the beginning, meanwhile Vince has probably created and abandoned a hundred workers' story lines and pushes in the same amount of time so he can have a f--king "loser eats dog food" match. On top of all the top of the card shit I mentioned above you also have the workers that are getting super over organically, Darby Allin, Luchasaurus and Jungleboy (not gonna include Marko Stunt in there) and most of all, Orange Cassidy, that dude is so over right now it's scary. Then you add in a tag division that's leaps and bounds better than anything we've seen in years. If it wasn't for The Nightmare Contingency and The Dark Order (at least for now, we'll have to see who the big reveal is when it comes to their leader... more long term booking) there'd not be much to complain about. The women's division is still kind of a mess but they seem to be slowly but surely working it out so I don't personally see it as as much of a weakness anymore. They've actually started off so hot (at least against what was predicted for a brand new company) that TNT gave them a 4-year extension and another one-hour show is going to be in the future.

jackmadrox Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 There's no debating that AEW has the superior Tag Team division. I haven't looked forward to a Tag Team match in years until AEW came to be. I don't know how Vince let his Tag division get so lackluster, it's really a shame when you stop and recall all the talent they've had to work with over the years.

I'll tell you what, while physically Jericho has obviously let himself go (I'm also sure age is catching up with him), the work he's putting in with promos and overall presence might be the best I've ever seen him do. It's just so easy to see he's having the time of his life and it's showing in his performances. Every time he, Cody or MJF steps out to the ring the entire show just gets elevated.

skidmarkgn Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Sounds like Dash and Dawson's WWE contracts are up in April and June respectively and they want no part of re-signing. I'm really not interested in AEW becoming full of WWE's cast-offs but there's always exceptions. Matt Hardy needs to be the Dark Order's "exalted one" and Brodie Lee should be amazing when he's finally being used properly. Now, I'll add the Revival to the list of guys AEW won't waste.
