Been liking the clips I’ve seen of Edge’s matches, he seems like he’s on a great last run. Sad he’s having it in front of half-filled houses.

Shinjobi posted:I know I like to joke about the death of AEW, but if anything actually worries me it's the brains behind the running of TNT. I don't trust that company for poo poo. One major difference is that someone else probably WOULD buy the streaming rights instead of shunting it off out of pure spite for wrestling as a concept. Though they probably wouldn't get as much from Amazon (at best), Apple.tv (ehhh), or...I dunno, does Tubi have live sports? But the fact that David Zaslav's brains drizzle out his nose when he sneezes is certainly a concern.

There are important differences, the main one being AEW isn't owned by Turner but lmao at another lovely doomed merger hurting a wrestling company.

I'm going to enjoy aew for as long as it exists. If some stupid backroom deals makes it go away. At least I got to enjoy wrestling again. But I would also love it if we got to a place where we weren't talking about how it was going to die every week. That would be nice

The problem with AEW is they have too many really good matches. How am I supposed to keep up with all of these really good matches, Tony???

Ted Turner needs to have a hostile takeover of what is rightfully his, take back his cable channels. Only then can we get this plummeting grabass wrestling show off of Wednesday nights and air what Turner airs best: reruns of Jetsons and The Herculoids.

Sticky Nate posted:Tony Khan had the sense to pass on Gargano but not enough sense to pass on Adam Cole Honestly up until the Wednesday Night Wars, Cole had done nothing but gotten over and moved business wherever he had gone and there was a ton of built-in feuds with guys already in the company, particularly Omega. Now three years later, they haven't been able to get to any of those feuds and won't be able to anytime soon and he's been attached to one of the worse creative periods in company history, so, rip.

Everything Adam Cole was good until the first AEW concussion and he hasn't been able to stay healthy or interesting since Edit: also the histories will say that MJF and Cole only got bad when Cole got hurt.

You guys are letting The Flop Champion MJF off the hook a little too much, he’s just as much of a sports entertainer as Cole.

That's not entirely Cole's fault - TK hastily rebuilding the company around CM Punk came at the expense of Cole and a few others, booking-wise. Cole's injuries catching up with him in AEW didn't help either. I also don't get Cole's appeal at all so that's coloring my analysis for sure.

But I would also love it if we got to a place where we weren't talking about how it was going to die every week. That would be nice That'll literally never happen no matter how good or bad AEW is doing. They could be running 10,000 seat packed stadiums twice a week and there'd still be people saying they're doomed because they're not doing comparable ratings to WCW from 30 years ago. Personally I'm incredibly doomer about AEW's future cause I just have no faith in Warner Bros Discovery to not ruin everything it touches, plus the extreme hostility the wrestling audience has to anything that isn't WWE when WWE is on a hot streak, plus TK's general inability to not make an embarrassment of himself and everyone who watches his show on a weekly basis.
