The Gold block and Blue blocks would also make baller trios tag matches.

Assuming the block finals are at the PPV they could also run a 4 on 4 match with the remaining participants.

People are complaining that AEW is doing too much WWE stuff lately.

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.

I watched all of Raw, and I must say some people are a little too harsh on AEW and should not be throwing the WWE comparisons around so freely.

What a night of wwe does to a mother fucker

Sometimes you need to watch something truly awful to appreciate what good is. If all you watch is The Wire or There Will Be Blood you can forget that their flaws are just minute compared to what you're not seeing.

As I said in the AEW Hell thread, I'm not ready to declare all of AEW's problems fixed just because Punk's promo sucked

But that promo sucked

Oh I'm not declaring AEW is good again, I outright think current AEW us dire and it takes serious willpower to want to watch. But it's still wrestling and compared to WWE if AEW is a 4 then WWE is still a 2. I want AEW to be better, great even, I don't want the standard to be "better than WWE" because that's a free space on a bingo card.

Where there actually melvins who really thought cm punk was gonna make a measureable difference or do something unique on raw that would be a kill shot to aew?

Tyler Black, Kevin Steen, Shinsuke Nakamura, El Genericos best friend, Walter, rey mysterio jr, the finger snappy british guy I forget about, and many more actually good wrestlers have been in the employ of wwe for the last decade. A lack of talent has never once been a problem in WWE. In short

Its good to be Dark Order.

I haven't really kept up with the thread but I was baffled by some of the Observer podcasts talking about how it was a bad look for AEW that WWE had gotten CM Punk to go from AEW to WWE, as if CM Punk had chosen to leave AEW instead of being fired for cause :confused:
