The most important improvement Edge made after jumping from WWF to AEW is that he stopped wrestling fuckin interminably long matches. Dude's average singles matchtime post-comeback in WWF was 20+ minutes, and he hasn't gone above 15.5 minutes in AEW for anything outside of the Christian trilogy

I thought cope was washed but then I edged with a sold out crowd while he wailed on christian in a penalty box. now I’m “up on adam”

Also when Cope came to AEW he started doing his spear really well and I honestly didn't know he had that in him

Cope is fine but I don't like him holding the TNT title and I don't want him beating Penta

Penta is like if Captain New Japan could work, it’s fine for him to lose.

Penta wrestles the same match every time, just like Minoru Suzuki.

Copeland always felt like the guy who had all the tools to be special, was pushed like he was special, but lacked the true spark to actually be special. I don't get that vibe from him in AEW. Maybe it's just because he's older and he has a more specialized niche, Maybe it's just because almost everybody is better in AEW. I'm not sure.

JUNGLE BOY posted:they’ve promoted it heavily on social media AEW has? Or are wrestling news journalists just picking up the story. I watched WM40 Saturday on Sunday morning, so stayed off the Internet to avoid spoilers. When I went online afteward, there was more buzz around the Punk All In footage than Wrestlemania Night 1. It's so strange.

Copeland is having so much fun. It comes across in his matches and that's why I can't complain about him Even if I am a bit burnt out on the same guys I've seen the last 5-10 years being the focus of AEW cards lately

Adam Cole gotta be the worst signing AEW has had. Just a weird little guy that came around, got injured a bunch but never did anything funny or cool, looks like poo poo, horrible devil angle, if he’s not going to wrestle in the chair just release him. The guy even sucks at videogames. “Chugs”? What’s a guy like that going to chug? A single dew drop on a spring morning from the upturned cap of a mushroom? Get real.

Get real. as soon as he got signed to AEW he stopped working out and doubled down on playing mario world, king poo poo tbh. probably won't happen as much in the future, maybe tony learned his lesson, but there was a golden era of WWE guys who just took the bag and sat at home to stream videogames

Adam Cole's first run in the company was really good. He had a good feud with Jungle Boy that ended in an awesome trios match. He did some fun trios stuff with KOR and Bobby Fish, he had a feud with Hangman with some loving excellent title matches, then a pretty good TV feud with Orange Cassidy. Then he got concussed at Forbidden Door and was gone for like a year, and it's been pretty much all garbage since he came back except one really good TV match with MJF.

Hangman feud was good but only because he got utterly annihilated in the blow off, this is how he should always be booked. The rest was boring MJeff posted:Then he got concussed at Forbidden Door and was gone for like a year, and it's been pretty much all garbage since he came back except one really good TV match with MJF. I think it’s time for Add Em Coal to let the engines cool down, pull into the station and retire.

One of my favorite moments in AEW that wasn't a match is when Adam Cole is like hold it right there Hangman, but Hangman just keeps walking until he's nose to nose with Cole and is like YOU WANNA FIGHT MOTHER FUCKER TEXAS DEATH!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp4Oi9JwvbE&t=253s

The Cole/Hangman matches were bad. Belt stealing angle was terrible. The Halo cosplay gear was absolutely embarrassing. But Adam Cole is really nice so I don't mind.

Adam Cole is really good at two things, delivering dialogue and making facial expressions and that promo really shows the latter in particular. Hangman says "Texas Death Match" and you can see Cole realizing "Ohhh.....ohhhhhhhhhhh. I'm in trouble."
