Apparently overbooked melodrama is like catnip for me, because when Adam Cole was thinking of throwing in the towel (awesome setup for that btw) and continually feeding Jay White weapons I was absolutely invested in the story.
I’m going to mention Survivor Series ‘98 but for no real reason.
Yeah, like 25% of that match really worked for me and if they'd just skipped the weirdness around the "will he wrestle?" thing I think the match in a vacuum is really good. There were a lot better ways to get to the destination they went to.

Best part of a good match, still an awful story around it. But the in ring melodrama is something they're all great at

Agreed. The injury angle and having Adam Cole as replacement were dumb as gently caress but the wrestling itself and the in-ring melodrama were so good that they had the crowd eating out of their hand and I, too, can't help but hooted and hollered. It's kinda weird to see how supremely invested the crowd is with every thing MJF does only to then see what the IWC thinks of him.

I agree. I'm in two minds about the MJF stuff because the in-ring antics and melodrama are great, creative and fun, but the wrapper I won't talk about in this thread

I'm just imagining Malakai hitting Hangman with the black mist then Hangman countering with the red.
Malakai immediately going 'is this actual loving blood' like a LARPer who just realized he's loving with Micheal Myers.
The lights turn off. the HoB is gone. Hangman is gone.
HoB reappear outside. Hangman is with them.

I am always a sucker for the trope of "this fairly benign person has been pushed too far and gone crazy" and Hangman freaking out House of Black would scratch that itch nicely.

I love nothing more than fresh match ups and swerve being in the tourney along with Brody is enough to make me very happy.

The strength of the AEW upper card is that most of these people could legitimately be title contenders or champions (Or multi-time champions)
I think Swerve vs Kingston would be the best final, Swerve wins and Kingston moves on to MJF but man I just realized how much selling a Kingston vs MJF match would involve for the title

Apologies if this is against the rules, but if anyone hoots and hollers for Hook, I am selling an action figure of the cold-hearted handsome devil himself, with two different heads and two different sets of hands. I accept Paypal, and I would be totally happy to get $20, which includes shipping within the U.S.
It is listed and photographed in my thread in SA-Mart:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3881694
I would much rather sell it to an AEW fan here than list it on eBay.

I still believe in Aew and don't think its gonna die. Someone has to put out some positivity about Aew and it may as well be me. Mjf sucks but it still has amazing matches every single week. Brody king vs Eddie Kingston was great hard hitting action. I loved it.

AEW will 100% die. Whether it be civilizational collapse, humanity going extinct, the sun becoming a red giant or the heat death of the universe. Might as well get ready now.

If the shambling corpse of TNA has proven anything, it's that a wrestling company with enough money can exist in a state of undeath, so for that reason I'm not worried about AEW dying

I like watching AEW every week and going to the shows when they're in town. I don't think they're perfect but I don't get riled up at their flaws. It's pro wrestling, nbd!

To quote this week's thread:
it's fun to be hyperbolic
Shitpost, earnest post, whatever, just make sure at the end of the day you're not posting mad. My Wednesday ritual is to go to the neighborhood beer bar after work, have a few, get a crowler, and go home and hoot and holler either on the Discord or in the thread. There hasn't really ever been a time where I've thought "man, it SUCKS to be All Elite"

Besides being a evil company, if they put on shows that didn't bore me to sleep at least it would be a conundrum. Any time I've had to watch a wwe show in the past 5 years it's just so drat boring. Or actively hurts me to watch with its direction and editing.
In the last 4 years even the worst aew shows haven't bored me like wwe shows have. And the best aew shows are all timers that I would put up against any wrestling show ever.
