I will say that it's a little disappointing that the brand new company that was supposed to avoid over-wacky characters, long-reigning heel champions, 15 minute promo segments & CORPORATE DRAMA~! has given us all of them in their first year.

i don’t think they were “supposed” to do any of those things

They were supposed to provide an alternative to all the poo poo WWE does that has driven people off over the years. They got the "don't script promos" & "don't overproduce announcers" right, the rest though...

Honestly with all the anti AEW sentiment going around lately I haven’t ruled out Russian trolls being behind this

They know that wrestling is one of America's greatest pastimes, and they know if they start a war between WWE and AEW fans that we'll all be too distracted next election cycle

Has Orange Cassidy ever held a belt in any promotion with the current version of his gimmick because now I just need to know how he'd transport his belt around

I don't feel like he'd put in the effort to wear it around his waist but instead kinda drag it on the ground behind him as he slowly walked toward the ring

Even on his shoulder seems like too much effort

He was IWTV champion. He transported his belt in a JanSport rucksack. It was loving amazing.

EDIT: this is him bringing it to the ring & defending it against Joey Janela https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2H7Dju_CR4

The IWTV championship is legit, no bullshit. Most of the championship runs are available on IWTV's site so you can check it.

It's worth a free IWTV trial to find OC's matches with Jonathan Gresham and Chris Dickinson, they're both great and Orange pulls out a goddamned kimura against Dickinson.

AEW Dynamite is a fun two-hour wrestling program that rarely drags and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt regarding the stuff that isn't landing. If they can make me believe that Scorpio Sky had a shot at a world championship in 2019, they can figure out the Dark Order, ya know?

I think they can get the dark order over.. I'm less optimistic about getting the nightmare collective over. that's really the only thing that drags a bit when I watch the show.

otherwise I think it's still been goo.. er I mean.. was always bad and dead.

Yeah at least the Dark Order have fun matches that are gradually getting the crowd interested, especially when they tried to recruit Marko. I think Jurassic Express is the team to feud them with.

The Nightmare Collective is a bigger liability because Brandi sucks in the ring and Kong is really broken down, so unless that new bald lady can work we're in for a slog through whatever that angle is supposed to be. Thankfully they're keeping those segments short, at least.
