WWE is what GM would be if they stopped producing Corvettes and trucks and produced only bland mid-size sedans.
CI Wrestling Thread #56
- Thread starter K-mac18
- Start date
According to the Wrestle Tix they had about 8,200 people at MSG last night. About 3,000 of those tickets moved this week.
Looking forward to Revolution tonight.
Not going through the whole card but will predict:
Page
Danielson
Punk
ReDragon
Rosa
Kingston
Wardlow
Jade
House of Black
Sting’s team
Well maybe that is the whole card

You forgot the HOOK/QT and Statlander/Hirsch matches.
Big night for the next step in the HOOK transcendence. We all know he is going to win, how dominant do they make him look against an objectively solid low-mid card wrestler.
At this rate Triple H might divorce Stephanie and try to join AEW lol
So I guess the idea is Rosa wins in her home of San Antonio??
Regal was definitely one person I wasn't expecting, that's freaking awesome!!

I'm really curious to see what his role is behind the scenes. They already do a pretty good job booking, and he was one of the masterminds behind peak NXT.
And holy shit at Sting being damn near 63 years old and becoming New Jack tonight lol
William Regal showing up and slapping the shit outta Mox and BD was the best thing I've ever seen.... UNTIL I witnessed Sting jump off an entrance and through 4 tables. Women's match did suck, but overall this has been a banger. Even the trio match in the pre show was amazing!
Breaking news from KSR. Jungle Boy is Luke Perry's kid.
I ordered Revolution. Overall, I thought it was a great show. I would prefer a Sunday show run from 7 to 11 instead of 8 to midnight, but I’m on the old end of the target demo.
My favorite matches were: Tag title match, ladder match, Punk/MJF dog collar, Mox/Danielson and Page/Cole.
Trios tag was better than I thought it’d be. Jericho/Kingston was solid. Baker/Rosa was underwhelming. I took my dogs our to piss during the Jade/Tai match so I didn’t see much but the finish.
Overall, a fantastic event.

Is he supposed to? He looked like a dangerous man. It took Hobbs AND Wardlow, you’re two biggest guys, to take him down. And they had to use ladders… then throw him off the stage. It was great. He still looks like a beast. He was booked right imo. Wardlow is the right answer to win. It helps the story with MJF and takes the belt off mediocre Guevara (his Spanish fly was amazing last night).
So what is the obsession with blood?
They trying to be like ecw?
Obviously don’t care about being kid friendly and sticking with their base?

I don't think kids are the target audience for AEW.....that's more WWE's bag, IMHO.
I think AEW is looking for a slightly older demo, from teens to those of us who remember Punk and Danielson in ROH.
The one time I went to an AEW show, there were very few kids in attendance. Don’t ever see kids being a main focus for AEW.
I like blood in wrestling, but it can be an overkill when a handful of matches feature juice. As a former ECW mark, you can tell Kahn was a big one too.

Some blood is great. It has to be meaningful and can't be in every match (or a lot even).
If more than 2 matches last night had blood - they need to pump the breaks. Less is more.

EA - If it's in the game, it's in the game.
WWE 23 - Now with roster cuts, ridiculously stupid booking, and soaring profits. The bottom line is the real game!
yea, that's why AEW's booking is sh*t. So... Wardlow has 2 things going on now (turns on MJF and TNT title shot) while the rest of these guys have nothing.
There were many great spots last night but I loved this one. This and one or two others in the ladder match that hadn’t been done before were great.
This guy here I swear would bad-mouth a BJ from Pamela Anderson.
Wardlow getting a much-deserved push (and the fans loving it) is exactly the opposite of sh!t booking. What a horrible take.
We saw Brian cage win a ladder match on his debut for a championship match and we all saw how that worked out. Lee not winning is the best thing for him.
Rick Steiners kid is pretty damn good considering how little experience he has
