  1. Cole's stable is the worst stable quite possibly in AEW's short history.  They do nothing and have accomplished nothing and there's no direction for them at all. It doesn't help that the only guy who was interesting was Roddy and they pretty much took away what was working for him.  Roddy yelling at people was actually funny. 

    Also, nobody gives a shit that O'Reilly is back...  I like him but it's a hard sell.  Another guy who needs to be in a captivating story line because by himself he's incredibly boring.

    When she's finally cleared(?) and able to lace up the boots for a bout I'm pretty confident this shitflinging will subside. 

    There's some fans who will still hate on her because she left their precious WWE and then there's other fans who will hate on her because she's "WWE.."  but when she starts to wrestle she will likely win some people over with her ring work.

    Also, while we're on Mercedes: I didn't love her in the booth necessarily either, but credit where it's due (and Taz took the words right out of my mouth, in a story sense): loved her calling the code blue. The whole idea of Mercedes scouting that move did a lot for Skye IMO

    That's true too. Anyone saying she "added nothing" is just a hater and can't be taken seriously.  She was out there calling moves before they happened like she actually watches the product (because she clearly does watch the product) and her in kayfabe taking the time to scout the Skye Blue's of the world does more for Skye Blue than random matches on Rampage..

     And while I think she is an important addition, having her be the focus of a title angle that she isn’t actually participating in, when she hasn’t even wrestled a match in the company, is a little insulting to the existing talent.

    The women had a very good fatal 4 way match and it was in the 9 o'clock hour and the reason it was in that spot is because they signed Mercedes.  That's not some crazy, hyperbolic statement.  These ladies were routinely in the death spot and now they are being elevated above that because they brought in a woman who has main evented a WrestleMania etc.. etc.. Her entire gimmick is that she's the 'CEO' and she's a 'superstar' so why wouldn't the rest of the women want to prove something?  Whether that's to show Mercedes and the rest of the world that they are on that level or to just shut her up?  

    You do realize they are billing her as a "5x women's champion"?   This isn't WWF in 1988 where someone comes in as a construction worker gimmick and the company completely ignores their past as an accomplished athlete.  That's NOT what is happening here.  She's coming into the company as THE standard...  So yes, a lot of the focus is going to be on her as the others prove themselves one way or another.

    Careful. Calling anything Mercedes does “inauthentic” earns you a visit from @Niners Fan in CT

    No, I usually only respond when obsessed weirdos tag me and I see it in my mentions.  I'm just not sure if you are more obsessed with her or me.  🤣

    I see you ducked the last time I responded to you,  I suppose you didn't want to touch when I brought up how you said Sasha/Mercedes doesn't talk like a "real black girl"..   If I was you, I'd have stayed silent too.

    She bragged openly about breaking Alexa Bliss' nose multiple times on purpose. There was also the time she ENDED PAIGE'S CAREER. Again, you won't care, because Mercedes will have been justified due to her follower count. Am I doing that right? I took my time answering this because there are multiple reddit AMA's and Twitter Q&A's with released nXt talent where Sasha is named as a bully during her time at the PC. I know that no amount of links I post will change your mind that she's sainted and allowed to do whatever she wants because she had 4 minutes of screen time on a Disney+ show, so I won't bother. You can google it yourself. 

    You sound jealous or something, not a good look for who is supposed to be a grown man. Lol.   "A Disney+ show"... haha. We should discuss her walking the runway at the L.A. and NY fashion shows as well.  

    But look, you have an ax to grind, everyone knows it. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it.  You're the guy who once said she sounds like she's a "fake black woman" whatever the hell that means, one of the most suspect things I've ever read on here. She's quite literally FRIENDS with dozens of women's wrestlers,  including Bayley, Naomi, Tamina, Natalya, Dr. Britt, Bianca, etc. and Paige said herself she doesn't blame Sasha at all for what happened in that match.  But you can pretend "no one likes her" to fit whatever weird narrative you have.

    @Niners Fan in CT will be here any second to tell you why it’s ok that that happened because it’s Mercedes…

    It's pretty well known that Saraya was working injured before that match and she was going to be put on the shelf sooner or later.  Is now a good time to talk about all the people Charlotte Flair injured such as dropping Sasha on her fucking neck during their SummerSlam match?  Lol.....  your hate on is weird. 

  8. Dynamite has been on a hot streak.  Everything feels important now.  There was very little in the way of throwaway matches or segments.  You could argue Jericho/Hook but there was a story there and Hook suplexed him about 47 times so fuck yeah sign me up. 

    Mercedes with another superstar entrance and another CM Punk "happy to be here promo" which is fine for now.  I liked her short little promo in the back better putting Willow on notice.  

    Ospreay cut another great promo, I'd like to see him and Danielson in the ring at the same time soon...   have a little back and forth before Dynasty.  

    Copeland and Christian was a solid "I Quit" Match.  Not my favorite but the crowd was pretty hot for it.  

    All of the women on the Rampage street fight worked their asses off.  That was way better than expected.

  9. My favorite moments on the show aside from Mercedes involved Samoa Joe, Will Ospreay and Okada.  

    - Samoa Joe nudging the dead security guard off the stage was hilarious.  

    - Okada saying "No...sing it.." was hilarious as is everything he's doing. 

    - Ospreay's entire promo was fucking A+ and has me hyped for Dynasty.  

    I saw Meltzer today say something about how Triple H was unfamiliar with Ospreay's game and to that I say...  I think most of us were?  I don't know.  We knew he was one of the best wrestlers in the world but did we know he's one of the better promos in the business as well?   

    Not to pick on Seth Rollins because I like him sometimes but imagine Ospreay in Rollins role.  But we don't have to imagine that because instead he'll be putting on a dozen MOTYC's in AEW...  What a signing.

    The QHs are probably online somewhere, but I suspect that 801k for last night was probably not helped by how the show was laid out and the whole "oh yeah, our main event is this, just telling you a few minutes beforehand" thing. That's not a specific shot at Willow/Riho, I suspect any main event that was handled like that would have went over like that in the ratings.

    I like both Willow and Riho but you're asking some fans who don't normally watch AEW to sit around for two hours on the chance that Mercedes will show up again.  Her segment did 1 million.  The main event did 632K or something like that.  

    I'm not blaming Tony, I liked having those women be the focal point of the show and the booking lately has been good in the company overall.  Ratings should improve with time.

    To be fair, the First Dance kind of proved that they didn’t need to do promotion of big debuts like this.

    Well the company was hotter then and Punk had been gone from wrestling for ten years so it's quite different.  Mercedes segment at the top did 1 million in the quarter but the rest of the show fell off.  It's fine because honestly they have had some decent booking since the build up to 'Revolution' and I think if they stay consistent the ratings will improve over time.

    Hope Niners enjoys Mercedes Mone debut.

    It was great to see her back in a ring, Thank You.  It was a pretty good show.  Great crowd.  I didn't go tonight, I actually haven't been to a wrestling show in a while now.  But I watched with my cousins.  They don't watch AEW but they were intrigued by Mercedes debut.  

    Is it me or does AEW feel fresh as fuck right now?  

    I guess adding Will Ospreay, Okada and now Mercedes will do that but even so you have the double turn of Hangman and Swerve which is really refreshing for both as well..   AEW Dynasty is looking like a can't miss show.

  13. Thank you, Sting.  I grew up a little Stinger like a lot of you here.  I think him and Warrior were probably my two favorite wrestlers when I was like 4-years old or whatever and had started watching.  I liked tough dudes in face paint.  

    That match was a great send off.  What a spectacle. I didn't think Sting and Darby would go over either but I am glad they did.  What a night.  

    Takeshita vs. Ospreay was a MOTYC for sure! Incredible stuff.   The World Title match was really good too.  Very good show. 

    For the love of everything though PLEASE get the fuck off the B/R app.  It took me about 30 minutes to get the fucking thing to work tonight.

    If they really want Cody to look strong, I'd have this happen except Rock just prevents the rest of the Bloodline from interfering. 

    This is what I think is going to happen.   Cody has Roman beat.  Solo comes out.  Jimmy comes out.  Here we go again.  The Rock comes out.  What the fuck.  And then The Rock beats up Solo and Jimmy allowing Cody to take out Roman once and for all.

    Apparently the Big Bussiness pre-sale tickets sold out in 12 minutes.

    They've sold close to 5000 tickets already.  There's still people claiming that Mercedes isn't a draw.  I can tell you one thing... there's no other women's wrestler moving tickets like that on their name alone.
