Went to the Collision show last night and it definitely felt like a b show. Biggest star was Eddie. Bunch of jobber matches for some reason. Got home and saw Phil went back. Still, I wouldn’t think things are bad unless I was tapped in online. poo poo ebb and flows and it is still good to be elite!

I think the most I’ll do in joining the wallowing is say that I always thought Max was a great talent but should never be world champ and I’m being proved correct week after week.

Sydney Bottocks posted:It's possible for a company to be very successful, while putting out a product people are becoming increasingly disgruntled about AEW is just all over the place in a few ways. World title scene is boring and stagnant. Focus comes and goes off people for seeming little reason leaving them hot and cold. Too many titles, too much product. Collision is clearly skippable despite every claim from TK and goons alike that it would not end up that way. I could go on. It's still nowhere near the worst era of any of those products.

There just isn't enough focus in AEW right now and it's been a problem ever since they got ROH. There are too many tables, too much talent and too much TV. The Acclaimed is one thing he got right by knowing when the time had come to end their tag reign, but they ended up in trios land which is basically a dead title as is. At times I've had to recognize up to four promotions having titles revolving around in AEW. Most people aren't nerdy enough for this poo poo. It's all made poo poo too convoluted.

Flair is there to go to executive parties, whoo, woot and holler and rub elbows for Tony. None of them give a poo poo about his past, they just wanna whoo and take a photo. Frankly out of all the old guys in the business he is the best at building the AEW brand for that sect.

The Devil thing being MJF's thing makes more and more sense cause the guy is just protecting himself. The Devil's crew feels non-threatening as a whole, I'm not even sure what they are scared or worried about. A lot of stuff is just off screen and you have to make assumptions. If you saw these people running roughshod through the company and MJF it might mean something but otherwise who care.

Matt absolutely knows they are broken down and that his brother burned his last bridge, it’s just cope.

They should try and get guest hosts every week to liven it up. Could you imagine if they got Young Sheldon to interact with Toni Storm?

Thought about what is going on with Miro very briefly yesterday and realized I don't care. It'll be the same start stop stuff with him until he leaves, and we'll be better for it.

Astro7x posted:A lot of people get the start and stop push though. Like it seemed as if they were ramping up the tag division with Private Party back. Then all that stuff just went nowhere? It was like the tag titles got thrown into this Sting retirement match stuff, but TK is doing a poo poo job of building up tag challengers during the long buildup to this match. Private Part is b list in the current tag division which is currently focused on Sting/Darby and the Young Bucks, and BCC/CMLL. Rightfully so as well. Danhausen is slotted exactly where he should be Nick is 18 so I don't really see the need to be pushing him heavier than being apart of one of the hottest angles in the company Stu who care Stat is in an angle with Willow and Stokley Julia is injured but working on making Skye Blue evil Tony does start stop people annoyingly, like Orange Cassidy losing the International to Moxley which served zero purpose when it should have pushed him up into the main event. Miro is just his own worst enemy. He could have been in Joe's spot but that ended up working out in our favor anyway. He had an interesting arch and character in 2021 but his run this company is ultimately on him.

I don't think I'd say that about someone as litigious as Punk if it weren't true and considering there was no legal action after, have to think he was telling to the truth.

Consider the possibility that you are getting gotten to by the dumbest people on Earth. And that's not hyperbole, I've seen the studies.

You have to be really foolish to think AEW is an position to die. Like said above, WWE faced around a decade of declining ratings WELL ABOVE the rate of people cancelling cable. Always got an increase. Failing upward year after year. AEW's ratings actually track with cable cancellations. You'd also have to think that Tony has been spend happy without having an semblance of what kind of deal they are working with going forward. AEW was vastly undervalued even after the contract renegoation right before COVID. AEW is fine. It's not thriving right now, but considering it's first four years are unprecedented in the history of not only the wrestling business but the sports business as a whole, it's doing fine.

I love Joe but it was least 5-8 years too late for him to be a world champ. He had his time and he was never that big of a star to merit a world title reign at this point. Add to that he spent a good bit of 2023 jobbing to Punk and others. Just didn't make much sense to me story wise. I would have had Darby take the title from MJF. You needed someone young and different and with real heat behind them.

I don't think Joe was a bad champ, cause outside of Punk they haven't had any. It just didn't feel like it was his time. He spent his entire AEW run as being the guy who people beat to get to the next level, which is perfectly fine and suited him greatly. You look at the title runs of everyone who won the title and he is on the bottom end. His most memorable match was with Hook.

The belt looked great on Joe, it's more that I would prefer AEW to focus on younger talent. Homemade if possible. Darby beating MJF would make sense based on the story they had going with those two.

Still very much like AEW. Disappointed in the DoN card but I'm already in Vegas for the Sphere so I might as well. But thinking about how we got from loving to liking AEW, the real downturn started when Tony started running ROH in tandem with AEW. It's just way too much for one man to handle. Add on another two hour show and losing guys to injury/brawls and he feels like he is just winging it lately. But it's kind of hard to gently caress up with all this talent when all you have to do is have them go out and wrestle. Plus it's not like wrestling doesn't ebb and flow naturally. The WBD/NBA stuff is really giving me pause though. Zaslav is a loving moron and cable is obviously dying. I feel like AEW is gonna come out fine but there is that 5-10% chance poo poo goes south that I can't deny. If they have to spend 3 billion on C level NBA games where does that leave us.

Not feeling good about the AEW deal. I don't think you can look at Zaslov's track record and trust him or his leaders to make a good to great deal with AEW. The NBA is such a big component of their TV lineup and now it's completely gone. The NHL just doesn't compare. The guy has endlessly fumbled since the merger and I don't see it ending here. I do think they end up making a deal but at this point you can't be surprised if he fucks it up.
