Also Nigel has an accent and no one on Dynamite commentary has one.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
My favorite "AEW/WWE Trades" are the ones where WWE gets like, Moxley and MJF and Ricky Starks and the entire Elite and AEW gets like, Mustafa Ali and Dolph Ziggler.

I’m fine with more people watching AEW no matter what mental hurdles they have to leap through to do it. I do wonder what’ll happen when we get the first Elite appearance on Collision.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

the replies include Hit Row for House of Black

yeah

although someone said Wardlow for Chad Gable and i am all over that

non-sarcastically i have thought about if AEW could take one guy from WWE and been like would they take Roman as their top guy or would they take GUNTHER who would have the highest upside

i'd take Gunther in a heartbeat

If I was AEW I'd trade them Gunther for MJF. But then I really get nothing from MJF and Gunther is a Big beefy chopper

OFFICIAL RACIST
https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2023/7/31/23813908/gable-steveson-pro-wrestling-debut-wwe-nxt-great-american-bash-booed-fan-behavior

quote:

Having worked in public service and as someone who patronizes businesses, I’ve seen multiple instances of customers berating brand-new employees on their first day, and it’s disgusting. Mistreating and verbally abusing someone trying to do their best when they’re just starting is ignorant and mean.

Unfortunately, the folks of Cedar Park, Texas, didn’t get the memo about how it’s not cool to be discourteous to newbies as they lustily booed Gable Steveson during his debut against Baron Corbin at NXT’s Great American Bash.

Those gathered at the H-E-B Center cheered for Corbin as if he were a hometown hero while actively dumping on the Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA wrestling champion. Perhaps some of that disdain came from Steveson’s past legal issues. That, I could understand.

But considering they were chanting, “You’re not Angle,” referring to Kurt Angle, who was also an Olympic gold medalist, it’s likely that the Cedar Park faithful just weren’t into Steveson as a performer.

Seriously? It’s the kid’s first match, and he’s already getting grief because he doesn’t perform like a 20-year veteran or because he paid homage to Angle with a few of his moves? Give me a break — or more importantly, give Gable one.

As to be expected, Steveson had some rough moments, but he held his own and kept pace with a seasoned pro like Corbin. At one point, there appeared to be a miscommunication or mistiming on a suplex spot. Steveson froze but then began throwing punches at Corbin.

Was it a rookie mistake? Probably. But occasionally, there are awkward beats and rough transitions between well-versed stars. So that one glitch wasn’t a big deal. That Steveson didn’t linger lost in the wind for long was impressive.

Well, except to those heckling fans.

The finish was a draw as both men were counted out of the ring, resulting in chants of “Bullshit” from the audience, though the ensuing post-match brawl between Corbin and Steveson got them cheering again. Still, it wasn’t enough to make up for the rude reception given to the highly touted rookie.

From what I saw, Steveson will be fine once he gets more in-ring time, and he’ll likely be better off as a heel at some point. But for now, he’ll have to grin and bear it, as he’ll probably face hostility in the future from people who must’ve been flawless employees during their first days at a new job.

Two of the Big Four have mandatory gimmick matches that preclude most of the biggest stars from having real matches and generally have a bunch of filler and a poorly built title match.

As opposed to AEW's PPV offerings which uhhhh, have basically all been universally acclaimed and are often criticized for having too many good matches.

That rear end in a top hat Tony needs to stop putting put 4-5 great hours of wrestling and a scrum on Sunday nights. Saturdays are more ideal for that kind of PPV if I'm gonna drink and watch it with friends.

Because Kenny Omega got to carry around lots of belts. And since there's no way for top WWE people to work with outside companies they couldn't exactly do it organically.
