Bushy. Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Orange Cassidy winning over Cole wasn’t a good decision. Regardless of the record in the match meaning anything because it was lights out, if it’s the end of the feud, Cole should’ve won to prep him for the main event at Revolution.

PaperThinWalls Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think it was the only thing that truly grabbed my attention and made me feel something. That ladder match I thought was a total joke. The epitome of fake, stunt show bullshit that cares more about creating stupid, contrived OMG! moments instead of telling a natural, logical competitive-story in the ring. The amount of times that ref grabbed that damn ladder... So egregious. Absolutely awful. That should tell you how dumb and impractical your spot that you devised is. But of course, far too many don’t give shit about those kind of things anymore and rather create shallow spectacles. Cody trying to be like a crappy bootleg Cena who tries even harder to get people to boo and cheer him is lame, too. Not interested him now.

The Nerd Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Wake me up when Jericho retires. Other than that, I’ve really been digging AEW a lot more lately. It’s more enjoyable then I remember it being when it first debuted. Some flaws still but overall enjoying myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I still enjoy Jericho at times but I wouldn't him going away on a Fozzy tour or something. A break for a while would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Shame the feud with Kingston has to be put on hold for now too, apparently he got hurt facing Janela on Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'd be down for Jericho to duck out for a few months and get in shape. I'd love an in-shape Jericho back for one last good run. Hell, just have him bring back The f'n List for like a year and I'd be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Impact: I'd love to see Dan Lambert bring JONAH in AEW. They introduced him as an AEW star so I guess the partnership isn't completely dead yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I get why some have issues with the ladder match. Valid issues but I still dug it! I was definitely entertained and it sure was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Regardless if you thought the match was a spot fest, or deserved five stars, still had one of the coolest spots in a ladder match ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yeah, the general impression I got from online is that people really liked the ladder match, which did not surprise me. People just love to gobble up silly, novel spectacles. As for me, my tolerance for gimmickry continues to dwindle. I just cannot stand overly contrived spots, especially when you need to rely on the ref over and over again to make your shit work. That's so stupid to me. And the lack of selling and just going from one spot to the next is so aggravating to watch for me. It's such an uncreative way to tell a story. I wanna see the pain on your face. I wanna see you limping. And not in some bullshit arbitrary way, which how it's mostly done. I want to see you truly commit to the sell. I wanna see your whole game plan change because your opponent knew what to exploit because they studied your game. A ladder match doesn't NEED to be a spotfest. It can be technical and strategic. But not many seem to care for that or know any better. They pretty much all envision it in one way: the spotfest -- and that one way I'm sick of. The novelty is gone.

Senex Beast Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I only watch AEW highlights and some matches on youtube. So I'm very curious how they're doing right now such as.. Who are the top 4 faces and heels? Who are the most over wrestlers? Who are the biggest merchandise sellers? How is AEW doing in ppv buys, ticket sales to shows and TV ratings? Is AEW doing good in likes and views on youtube ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Babyfaces: CM Punk, Mox, Adam Page, Darby. Heels: Bryan, MJF, Cole, Baker. Bryan is the most over person in AEW. Followed by Punk and Cody. No idea on merch and YT. Numbers are pretty solid, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 they need at least one more solid heel i think because two out of those four are so hard to dislike. i guess Kenny when he comes back but Cody would be perfect and i need him to stop this fake Cena shit. also i love MJF so much but i still think he has another level to reach. right now his bread is buttered on the mic but he needs that physical heel aspect like a Edge conchairto or a Orton punt to go with the scathing promos.
