Guys, AEW is nothing like WWE, it doesn't want to insult your intelligence, it doesn't have all these matches for the sake of matches and requires you to watch a 3 hour raws, a 2 hour smackdown and 2 hour nxt.

Anyway, here's a guy screaming about his friend Adam, Nick Wayne's Mom on a Forklift Match, and you need to watch the Continental G1-not-G1 on Collision, a show that's now an empty arenas.

No, the dinosaur is now called Killswitch, that's going to mean something. Also, here's a championship match for the women's title with Lady Frost! You know, Lady Frost! Is she a shock debut? Turns out, she's been there the whole time.

Do you think they need more women's matches? Of course not! We need another battle royale for the sake of battle royales.

I'm very tired, and I don't care if MJF is the champ or not. The booking is tiring, and "The Bucks" have lost their momentum.

holy poo poo, Randall over on the JobberNation discord just said a HUGE AEW story is about to break regarding their deal with WB. says WB have been trying to cancel their deal with Tony since about September 2023 (this lines up with my own reports). If this is true, then... I dunno guys

Same time as when they fired one bill Phil??

Honest question - most promotions have an "anniversary show", or their SuperCard/WrestleMania/Wrestle Kingdom

And I'm trying to figure out what that is with AEW...

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Thanks friends, I see the answers were mixed between All In/All Out/Double or Nothing and that sounds about right.

I was trying to figure that out as one of my major issues with AEW, as a promotion. I understood the idea of one every quarter, and now the need to expand, but it's just feeling very backwards.

When the dynamites/collisions/PPVs aren't really good at setting up matches to new comers or build new audiences, even though I see the video packages and promos

I was wondering if this mistake was just a me problem with AEW. I know *OF* Willow Nightingale but I don't know really WHY that match. And no matter how much I try and watch YouTube to catch up. It's only half knowledge.

I listen to the recaps on B&V, but it always sounds more like backseat booking as to why it is this way, and I can't see it, even if it's entertaining matches.

Are we still hot for Swerve? Is he still a heel? What happened there?

It's a good problem to have with good wrestlers, but that means you should probably start trimming down the roster a bit, or try and figure out the branding for the next few years.

It's feeling like WWE under Vince, but uses the heavy duty wrestlers in 4/5 Star matches for you to forget.

Okay, I'm playing catch up with the AEW and saw the Tony spot.

Now, I understand the neck brace and the memes and commitment to the bit.

But, uh.... I'm still very confused. I thought Tony said he wasn't going to be on camera unless it's for actual important announcements, like a new title, PPV, show, or things like the Brodie tribute.

And when you consider the latest storyline involving bucks and ftr and the returning jungle boy involve the punk insistent and Tony Khan saying "I feared for my life, so I fired Phil Brooks"

Some of those AEW fans that followed because "they are going to put logic back in wrestling" might get confused why one is okay and not the other obviously, it's a TV show, logic holes happen all the time in wrestling.

So why doesn't TK just fire Matthew and Nicholas Jackson and figure out how to not make this show feel like those awkward years of TNA where Dixie Carter shows up and goes through a table and begs for Hogan to come back and he leaves to go back to WWE.

It's because Tony is panicking because the ratings are in the toilet and they need to get a big tv deal within the next 6 months or the company is toast. So it's throw everything at the wall time.

Wait till he gets real desperate in late summer and joins the Elite as a heel authority figure.

Oh God,.I could see him trying to go Full Bischoff.

But there's not a person with that ultimate Babyface presence like Hogan was.

And I do fear more hot shotting, even if the PPVs are still pretty fun and good.

Tony seems like the kind of guy that gets excited about high Metacritic scores for video games that have nobody in the multiplayer server.

Or rotten tomatoes scores to movies that have a low box office.
