Ricky 'amazing ass' Starks kicking things off
let's hope he don't have to job
All of Starks movements in the ring are really smooth
Emperor Smeat

Wait ... AEW's Blood & Guts special is just going to be a 1 match show?
Going to be a lot of padding and story filler to eat up the time if that's actually the case since I doubt that Blood & Guts match will go beyond an hour tops.

Starks vs. Page was pretty good. Slower than the usual openers AEW has but wasn't a slog nor dull to watch.

Penta vs. Trent was pretty good despite the shenanigans at the end.
Felt a bit abrupt like if someone backstage told them they were running long and needed to cut right to the end.
Wardlow should get to talk more.
That's the most I've ever seen Wardlow talk
Kevin Owens would disagree, MJF
Emperor Smeat
04-21-2021, 08:37 PM
For a guy who doesn't talk much, Wardlow did a fine job with his promo.
Although him not denying Jericho's claims of him needing to be naked in order to count to 21 is interesting.

Ever since losing the Arcade Anarchy match, Miro has gone a bit off the deep end.
Maybe he couldn't bear with the fact that he destroyed an arcade machine that he probably loved or finally realized Kip was a useless buddy to have around. Kip probably even stunk at playing games with Miro.

This week's show was very entertaining overall. Only real weak point was the QT Marshall vs. Billy Gunn match and stuff.
Both title matches tonight delivered and even Jade Cargill's promo was an improvement over her prior ones.
Camera work seems much better this week, I wonder if they've made some production changes behind the scenes.
Now that the show is over, it did feel like one of their better produced episodes. A big lack of audio and timing issues on the production end that AEW usually has for their live shows.

WCW at least had charm at the time.
Would be nice if they could keep things 1 million + since last week (and this week) was good but I can never predict/guess AEW ratings because they fluctuate a lot.

Comparing current RAW to shitty Nitro is a disservice to shitty Nitro. How dare you. Gimme Russo and Arquette over 3 hours of RAW (even before and after WM).
At least with Nitro, it was an entertaining trainwreck to watch at times under Russo.
RAW doesn't have that feeling under Bruce Prichard and instead has gotten even more boring and awful. Only Drew McIntyre has managed to benefit or look good from the change from Heyman to Prichard and that's mainly because Vince became fond of him as a top star.

Russo era WCW was like 98732578953x better and more entertaining than current Raw
I'd love for AEW to add the IIconics, Vega, Paige, and Chelsea Green but not if they're just going to continue having 1 gal match on Dynamite. There's too much talent to be regulated to Dark and Elevate no matter how deep the pockets are.
Like, I don't fucking care to see QT and Gunn matches. They are great trainers...leave it at that. There's another potential women's match to take its place.
I'd actually find it kinda cool if Dark had matches where QT is training wrestlers. That'd make him useful as on air entertainment.

WWE never owned by USAN, CW, TNN, Spike, FOX
TNA never owned by Spike, TvGuide, whatever the hell else
WCW completely was reliant on Time Warner/AOL.
AEW not owned by TimeWarner

Really good show. Only down spot for me was the woman's match. A few too many spots that looked slow and sloppy. It wasn't terrible though.
Love the Eddie and Dean partnership. It might be my favorite thing in wrestling right now.
Darby vs Jungle boy definitely delivered. Great match. Holy shit at how awkwardly Luchasaurus and Sting battled to the back though.
That woman's match delivered, jerk.
Jungle Boy needs to go on his own.

Everyone knows Lucha isn't a real Mexican luchador
he might surpass Miz tho...both reality house tv show people.

Both Impact and ROH are owned by television companies though.
Only real difference between them and WCW is that their parent companies didn't launch their very own channel and instead just buy up existing channels and networks to put their wrestling shows on. Ted Turner's company launched TNT so WCW never had to worry about tv money stuff unlike WWF until the very end.

If that's what counts as "delivered", then standards have definitely dropped.
Maybe ya'll were hypnotized by the derrieres I don't know.

2000 Nitro was so much better than current Raw. It was bad and insane but they were trying everything they could to pop a good rating and get viewers. Raw is so lackluster and boring it seems like they’re not even trying. It’s like they’re just like “welp, it’s Monday again. Guess we gotta put something out there for 3 hours. Ugh.”

i kinda wish since he doesn't review nxt anymore that corny would compare weekly dynamite to weekly nitros from '99 on
With The Challenge ending this week, they should be able to nab the top spot next Wednesday. 1.1 million this go round.

Not that bad of a drop in terms of overall viewers and them staying over 1 million showed that last week's numbers were not just some sort of a big fluke.
