Personality wise he's awful. I'm sure he's funny in his own way but in 2023/2024, that lame, Fast Times stoner gimmick is severely played out. It's like a current rock band trying to be cool bragging about doing coke off their gold records or something (Avenged Sevenfold did this when they hit it big). Cool story, broooo.
Revolution has been good so far. Very much an AEW PPV. They rarely have a bad one.
I understand that Takeshita is good in the ring. The mole on his nose really throws me off though lol.
Ospreay and Takeshita beat the shit out of each other for about a half hour.
And that's why they're in AEW. They get to put on BaNgErS and TK will let them work a reckless style because it'll light up wrestling social media for a few hours. I like em both but in WWE they wouldn't be allowed to, ya know, drop each other on their heads like that. Just like WWE wouldn't allow one guy to drink another guy's blood. Indy-minded wrestling fans will love that spot though.
Osperay is gonna end up in a wheelchair sooner than later.
Not only is that dangerous for him but the chance of a piece of glass injuring a fan is just an unnecessary risk IMO.
Agree about the Darby spot, was totally unnecessary. Overall thought it was one of the better PPV's AEW has ever done.
But at least then he will have plenty of time to catch up on reading the Observer and Meltzer's glowing reviews of his matches.
Stunning investigative journalism by the AP there
that Darby spot is absolutely insane. I don’t think he plans on walking into his 40s.
Darby is future Jeff Hardy, only he'll never work in WWE. Really no sense browbeating him or pretending we're his parents from behind screens. He gets off on stupid shit that the Jackass crew wouldn't even do. If he ever gets seriously injured, so be it. Hope it never happens but what can fans do about it? Whoever is producing spots like that and blood drinking should be fired, but they won't be. Tony is either signing off on every crazy stunt or he's leaving it up to the wrestlers and producers and pretending he's a fan backstage watching it like the rest of us without a clue. He's an idiot either way. Finally, whether it was actual glass or sugar glass, that spot was dangerously close to one side of the fans and in the clip fans jumped back because pieces of glass either hit them or were scattered around their feet. The infamous Hell in the Cell match was a spectacular, legendary mess...and I don't want to see stuff like that anymore. I don't get off on rivers of blood, barbed wire, glass, and goofy shit like that. You can't take insane spots and death matches seriously when every promotion has pretty much outlawed chair shots to the skull.

The spot was to forever have semblance to the importance of Stings last match. You’d never remember it in 15 years, but you will now because of that if nothing else.
Darby is solid on any roster but crucial for AEW. Hopefully in time they get more structured because I’m too easily lost with who is on what day or why for that matter.
They have the talent just get organized and I’d follow.

TK does PPV right. I just can't do 4 hrs of AEW. Glad Sting went out undefeated, I just don't think anyone had thoughts of dumb stunts, glass shattering everywhere, and backs soaked in blood as part of Sting's final match. Him retiring made mainstream sports news sites. Let's see if AEW can capitalize on it. They want to be niche with rankings and death matches but they have an opportunity to pull in more viewers. If I'm being honest, a lot of what I see isn't that engaging. Two weeks ago Wardlow was powerbombing another jobber. Now he's number one contender because of one, quickly put together "scramble." Where's the story of him climbing and clawing to get there? Jobber one week, title contender the next. Something in between is missing.
Can the mania stip be that no one in the arena is allowed to go ‘oooohhhhhhhb wookikaaaaahhbbbbbbv’ again when Seth Rollins comes out
Cole acknowledged Sting's retirement, Pat said heck of a match last night, and Cole cut him off quick lol. If this were two years ago, 1) that wouldn't happen and 2) if it did, Vince would run out and choke Pat to death for taking it one step further and complimenting a match in another promotion.
Haha I caught that. Cole with a quickness
“Diarrhea Dewayne?”
Jesus Christ. That show is geared for 14 year old boys.

I don’t care what does better from a business perspective. I’m not making a cent off this stuff and I never will. I just care what does better for my viewing interests.
Another mid wrestler to help Roman win a match since he’s too weak to do it in his own every single time.
I legit stopped watching AEW at some point during that first year or two because of how many average to bad wrestlers were getting featured.

He needs to learn how to have an entertaining match that lasts more than 2 minutes. I hope like hell his world title shot doesn’t come at a PPV.
