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.

It's true, half of AEW's champions have been former WWE castoffs and absolutely nobody else on the roster is over. Hell, Eddie Kingston was so bad he couldn't even make it into NXT.

Twenty years of WWE booking; I'm sure when Punk and Bryan debut, you'll see plenty of social media accounts accusing AEW of "wasting" them if neither get an immediate title shot/win the title immediately.

It was the same thing with Miro, with people complaining that he wasn't being given title shots right away.

Brian Danielson and CM Punk have a shot at bringing in lapsed fans to AEW again. There are so many Daniel Brian and CM Punk fans that stopped watching after the godawful WWE booking and treatment of talent/fans.

It can't even be hyperbole, think about how many people were chanting YES with Daniel Bryan in that cage match against Bray Wyatt where he turned and WWE would be lucky to fill half that arena without tarps and bigger entrance stages now.

They're signing talent that people like and booking them in ways that appeal to viewers, which is such an unfair advantage.

The wait and see method only pays out once every ten years. I'm sorry AEWlures can't comprehend long term booking of that magnitude. At Wrestlemania 40 in 2023, the true WWE fans will be the ones laughing

I don't know much about GCW but I've known a few fans who are very into deathmatches and not much else... the idea of putting a world title held by Nick Gage onto a WWE washout and current TNA star really feels like the wrong kind of heat to be getting with those type of fans. If it's only drinks being thrown Cardona should feel lucky!

Then they should throw poo poo at the person who booked the title change, rather than the guy performing the story

It's the same kind of heat that Jerry Lawler got showing up in ECW. It's not going to make fans stop watching, it's going to make them cheer harder for every one of Cardona's opponents

They should stop throwing glass bottles though

GCW should provide toilet paper to throw then, nice and safe.

It doesn't really matter. Throwing poo poo in the ring is lovely behaviour, there's never any justification. It's not the end of the story no more than RSP taking the title off Gage was the end of the story. Death Match fans aren't actually morons (some are but not sure it's a higher proportion than normal wrestling fans), they should be better than this.

I'm wondering to what extent the crowd felt like they were playing the role of a rowdy crowd rather than being one.

Allowing the crowd to throw stuff into the ring sets a bad precedent. Most people will just throw drinks or whatever but it only takes one person to throw something really dangerous into the ring and hurt somebody.

Plus you'll never recreate something as visually cool as all the chairs being thrown in the ring at ECW during the Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk match

I don’t see any glass bottles, nor do venues typically sell them for exactly that reason. They sell the lovely aluminum version of the bottles

I didn't see any either but, and I know this isn't what you're saying I'm just adding that on top, this doesn't make it okay to allow the crowd to throw stuff in the ring. There's so much that can go wrong even with seemingly harmless stuff.
