That stinks. Just let this be the end, it's perfect

the ad situation wasn't much better but there was definitely more to bite into match wise. Brock/Oba was booked so well as a meaty man fight and the post match retirement stuff was perfect. I loved it. That should be Brock's last match, great moment and he put over the next dude. Oba is so awesome, love the strut. Roman and Punk was damn good too. Tonight was a solid show vs. the giant piece of crap that was Night 1

I would guess that the plan is to sell as much ads and gouge the fans as much as possible on tickets until it's time to sell to the Saudis or someone

The actual app is garbage. If you have a combo package, you are better off watching WM on Disney+ or Hulu. Or if you have a VPN watch this on Netflix.

I think AEW is in the perfect position right now. Not to "take down WWE" because that would be near impossible. AEW is an actual, viable alternative. Their ratings have been very good of late and their PPV buy rates have been outstanding. The attendance has picked up as well. 'Double or Nothing' might end up being the highest attended in the event's history. Also, by being a true alternative, AEW can get away with some meh booking decisions because the matches and characters have been easily eclipsing what WWE is putting out.

I've been to 'WrestleMania' and anyone who is excited over downtime is clearly coping. Nobody in their right fucking mind would be excited over 80 minutes of in-ring time over the span of 4 hours. If there were some in-ring promos that some people love then fine but they didn't even do that. It was strictly advertisements and promotional bullshit.

I don't want to shit on the performers because I felt most of them were trying really hard. Even Cody and Orton were trying to get something out of that main event. It didn't work because of all of the trash surrounding it but they tried. My God between all of the ad breaks and the interference during almost every match, this was mostly trash. Goodness.

Apparently the Darby/MJF low blow/headlock takeover finish predates AEW as well. They did it on the indies, I saw the video somewhere this morning. That's great shit.

Cam'ron still has it with the quotables. "A Saturday guy" is something that will live on for years and years lol

Bret, Sting and Warrior were my 3.

I've watched Andre vs. Hogan several times over the years. It's spectacle. The commentary by Jesse and Gorilla make it feel like the biggest thing ever and it was the biggest thing ever. I prefer Steamboat and Savage but Andre/Hogan is the peak of a carnival show turning into an obscenely profitable business.

How do they not find room for Iyo Sky vs. Asuka on this card?

If it was this year, there's no way they'd be holding the event. It's too dangerous over there. Plus, word on the street now is that the Saudis are thinking hard about projects like LIV golf and other ventures because they've been affected financially from the war. If the Saudis pull out of WWE, TKO is fucked.

I loved it because of how quickly Darby capitalized after the low blow. That was his chance and he went all in no pun intended to put MJF away quickly. If the match goes longer than two minutes, MJF likely recovers and finds a way out. It was great storytelling.

Maybe I'm crazy but outside of Brock/Oba, the entire Liv/Vaquer thing has been the best booked feud going into the event. Punk and Roman took a step back the other night but they'll have the crowd on Night 2. Orton and Cody was completely ruined. Wouldn't be surprised to see those fans shit on it. Though it's not the Mania crowds of old so who knows...
