I figured out how to watch aew on the platforms I use so I was wondering how lost would I be if I just started watching with the April shows?

The current shows will get you caught up fine, either explicitly or because things (mostly) just make sense: there's a wrestler who dislikes another wrestler, and they're gonna sort this poo poo out by beating the gently caress out of each other.

Cool. Good to know there isn't anything too complicated. I read gavok's good thread so that should help.

Ringo Roadagain posted:

The stickied thread by Gavok should also have some good stuff if you like what you see weekly. I’ve been watching from the start, so I don’t know how exactly to get your hands on older stuff, but aew is popular enough here that you should be able to find someone to help.

Most of the old stuff is on archive.org. it is just inconvenient to phone watch it.

I've watched 4 AEW shows now and I'm mostly enjoying it and can see why others are so fanatical about it.

One thing I don't think I care for too much is the dirtbag aesthetic the shows have. Everything always looks so grimey

I mean this wouldn't surprise me.

The first episode I watched I stopped it and cleaned my phone screen a couple of times before realizing it was just the show.

What shows have you watched so far? I also saw you posting about Powerhouse Hobbs, who is also very good :hai:

The first 4 shows in april. I've seen Hobbs wrestle 2 times. Watched a match of his from back in Feburary. The dude is a very good big man wrestler.

How many belts does AEW have? There seems to be way too many

not really. especially when you consider how large their roster is.

The FTW belt feels like a useless belt like the 2nd world heavyweight belt wwe has

International is same rules as the world title, just let level.

Continental is everybody banned from ringside and if you hold it at Full Gear you get auto entry into the Continental Classic.

TNT is 20 minute (or TV time remaining) time limit.

Hold on. The belts have specific rule sets around them? Is this true in WWE too?

Taz originally made it as a vanity belt in the 90s. In AEW he formed "Team Taz" and gifted the belt to Bryan Cage and it eventually made it back to Taz's son Hook.

Ok cool. Thanks for the explanation. 😃

I like FTR and hope the young bucks lose to them. Doubly so after the stupid cmpunk fight promo. I hadn't seen the young bucks part before and it was so bad.

I think I'm good on FTR tag title runs for a while. The Bucks can tell better stories as the smarmy bosses who cheat and exploit the rules to retain.

I don't know anything another the previous runs. I just hated that bucks promo and not like as heel work. It just sucked.

Edit: it doesn't matter though. I'm not coughing up $50 for the ppv and I don't know of any good 🏴‍☠️streams for phone.

Download the BiliBili app on your phone and you can pretty much watch any AEW PPV for free. They usually upload it within 24 hours after it aired.

I'll give that a try. Thank you. :)

Someone dug up something troublesome, the Oklahoma SAC has at least discussed taking action against AEW for Nyla Rose's match last December. Oklahoma has some incredibly archaic rules regarding intergender wrestling and as you can imagine how they classify transgender athletes.

Don't like this
