I know Dave is all like, well, um, uh, you have to put your title on the biggest character, and, you know, that has to be, umm, that's gotta be Baker I get Adam ‘s general point that the women’s division has lost a lot of ground since they took the title off Britt, but I’m skeptical Britt is going to save the division single-handedly. They need to build a core of women audiences want to see. I was surprised Dave now thinks Toni isn’t the right person to hook fans right now (I ageee. Just surprised to hear David say it). I think they put the title on Britt and run Toni-Britt, but Britt-Hayter sounds more interesting aside from both women being better as heels. WO said Rosa is working through a back injury. No timetable for her return, which makes the interim title thing particularly strange.

Firebreaker Chip Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 There was a really fantastic bit of inane Tazz commentary during the main where he said something to the effect of "Ospreay's a freakin...freak! I don't give uh...uh rat's ass what anybody says, dis guy's a STUD", like yeesh settle down Paulie Walnuts 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you want is bringing it back as a response button on posts. Someone complained about it before.

Infinit Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just to add to my earlier comments: LOVED the Starks promo. Really digged his passion. Christian is such a fantastic slimy creep. I popped SO HARD for Rebel bringing Britt THE TERRIBLE TOWEL. Absolutely tremendous 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Floodgates truly wide open now in terms of leaks. Baker said in the past that Omega would be brutally honest with her when asking for feedback. I imagine some people don't want or feel they need to hear such stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 1 hour ago, zendragon said: I'm coming to the conclusion that Me and Tony K have different wrestling tastes. I agree with some of the questions about which talent he chooses to highlight. Enjoyed the World Title Squash Danny being the kid stuck between divorced parents Penta & Fenix getting kicked in the chops after the taunts I was worried that Dutts pencil was going to put someones eye out late run of shows have been a bit all over the place Since I saw Virgil at the show last night I will post this here. Is anyone else getting Virgil-Dibiase-Piper 1991 vibes from the Jericho-Garcia-Danielson angle? Maybe it's just me but Garcia is the Virgil to Jericho's Dibiase with Danielson in the Piper spot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I must be one of the few people that thinks the women's division is far healthier now than when Britt was champion. Now, we have a number of over women who would make a viable champion. As pumped as I was to see Shida last night, I would love to see Toni take it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Women division was barren during Britt run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Bones Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I think Log is on to something with his post concerning trust. I trust AEW. I mean… I’m not going to let Tony Khan fuck my girlfriend or anything. But I have little to no hesitation spending my time and money on 50 dollar PPVs after years of paying 9.99 a month. Dax Harwood is so my current WOTY that it got me off my dead ass and dropped a couple of bucks on ROH tickets. Top to bottom the best live show I’ve ever attended in person. If I were capable I’d do a cartwheel. I’m not blind though. As positive as I am about AEW. I even had the thought when ever I’d hear some podcast interview where somebody goes on about how much love, harmony, and rock n’ roll the AEW locker room is… I’d think “Yeah, that ain’t gonna last”. But so fucking what. That squash was totally awesome and memorable and a huge storyline milestone for the company. It got applause for the tie up. Obviously I’m All In. Because I trust AEW. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 54 minutes ago, Infinit said: Sorry if I missed it if you posted...but how was the show? It wasn't bad. The people around us were very let down by the short title match. Lots of people yelling bullshit around us. The Main was a spot fest and ended with a weird back and forth between Kenny and Osprey. Brit Baker was cheered in our section until the terrible towel came in the ring. Also both teams in the main event were super over. Not sure how it came across on TV but the fact that people went from bullshit to satisfied is a feat in and of itself. I'l probably go to the Toronto and Buffalo shows too as I still don't think you can beat the value AEW brings. Hope you are doing well Infinit!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 9 hours ago, DEAN said: AEW is the opposite of WCW. I remember WCW being chaotic and slapped together but it just led to shitty main events with Hogan or Nash or Hall. The undercard always delivered the goodness and kept me around. AEW is chaotic and slapped together but HERE you get The Forbidden Door PPV and the last two weeks main events. AND the undercard is also awesome. WWE currently is delivering on the main events and the undercard but it seems more planned and less chaotic. Either way, I am happy with the good wrestling. WCW's chaos just led to constant repetitiveness. It was the Groundhog Day of wrestling with like 5000 nWo run-ins throughout a show and Buff Bagwell's stupid hats in between a **** match between Malenko and Juvi that unfortunately never led to anything because they weren't allowed to go anywhere. AEW's chaos to me feels like ECW chaos. God knows how much last-second changes had to happen in ECW because of Sleaze Thread shenanigans or a dude jumping ship for a better payday or Heyman coming up with an idea in his mother's laundry room after 2 Cold Scorpio stumbled onto something in a promo to set up a quadruple turn that we all pretended worked at the time. It's a disorganized and crazy mess. There are some sloppy things. But at the end of the day I really like most of the show because it's a lot of fun. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
