According to Dustin Rhodes, he wants to open an official wrestling school for AEW at some point in the future. Currently planning for it to be located in Texas and it would be similar in structure to WWE's Performance Center.
Revealed it during a recent interview he had with the Miami Herald. |

I'm sure the fans he no-showed at Starrcast want a refund/apology.

Seems AEW is tweaking their pre-show format since the Buy-In for this Saturday's Fight For The Fallen will be 45 minutes long instead of 1 hour like the past two shows.
Also based on recent ticket sales, they are around 475 tickets away from reaching sell out status.

3 Dicks Out For Trips

If this show was in Miami or Tallahassee or somewhere else in the state it would have sold out by now. Jacksonville is like an hour away from Daytona so they are running 2 shows in basically the same exact market back to back. Plus it's summer, Florida is one of those places where people don't really do indoors activities as much during the summer months; they are at the beaches or the theme parks or outdoor events in general if that makes sense.
I don't mind though if they run a bunch of shows from Jacksonville. I'll be going to a lot of them if that's the case. |

I know a lot of people on here weren't fans of Kylie Rae/thought she was way too over the top with her gimmick but it seems something's definitely up with her.
She got a lot of build on BTE, had a featured match on DoN, was announced to face Leva Bates on the Fyter Fest pre-show. But she got replaced with Allie with no warning and Kylie's been completely off of social media for over a month when she's normally quite active. Hope she's alright. |

I’m really losing my hope-boner for AEW. I’m really worried that they’re going to shit the bed and that will be it for wrestling. We need something else, sure, but that doesn’t mean we need anything else. I’m worried it’s going to be Anything Else Wrestling.

They've put together a string of really good shows and are building to long term payoffs in August and have booked their best guys strong and logically. I'm not sure how one could be down on such a new product when said product has been objectively good so far.

No, because it feels flat and I don’t agree with their philosophy on certain things. I don’t feel Hangman Page as a top babyface. Cornette is very high on Page. He loves the Buckshot Lariat, but I hate it. But whatever makes you feel better.

Maybe I just hate wrestling now. I still see stuff I fucking love though. It’s always surrounded by stuff that completely disengages me though. MLW is my favourite product too-to-bottom right now, but it doesn’t get me week-to-week. |

I think you're just jaded. I don't follow any wrestling and I love what I've seen so far. There are several stories going on, and some multilayered, like a Page/MJF feud, MJF and Cody, MJF/Spears and Spears/Cody, Brandi and her relationship with Kong, Moxley/Omega, and the Bucks and Lucha Bros.
God knows what they're gonna do when they're trying week to week, but so far they've built up 4 matches in 3 shows. I think given how limited they've been without tv they're doing just fine. Certainly interested in how All Out plays and how that leads into tv. |

We all have opinions. There are things I don't care for so far. But overall I've been impressed with the storytelling and presentation for the main roster guys. Maybe I'm an optimist.

Must be torturous to be bubbly when you feel that bad on the inside. Hope she can bounce back from this. She's really talented.
Also, fuck that promoter making her feel worse by announcing it like that. "everybody else is making their dates" Fuck you. |

I popped for the surprise appearance at the end. Spears comes out of this looking like a star. I feel like he needs to go over at All Out or else he'll look like a schmuck who couldn't back up attacking his boss. |

I absolutely loved Double or Nothing, really enjoyed Fyter Fest, and I'll openly admit that Fight for the Fallen was by far my least favorite of the three shows they ran. I had fun watching it and all but two big events in two weeks is/was overkill. Kenny/CIMA was the only match from there I'd ever feel the desire to watch again.
Still, I'm intrigued by All Out, and I'd encourage anybody "losing hope" in the company already to at least wait until they get to TV.. I've enjoyed the YouTube builds they've done but I want to see how they are at putting a show together on a weekly basis. |

I agree with you Vito Bro. While it was almost "overkill" with two big events, the bigger cause of issue to me was just Fyter Fest as the 2nd show. A Fighting Game convention. Would be different if it was a year down the line. But following up on of the great all time PPV's with Omega and The Bucks dressed as Street Fighter characters was weak when they could have went strong.
Still I really enjoyed Fyter Fest and I also really liked Fight for the Fallen, the more you see from them (or anyone) the more content you get to choose if you like or don't like so that's just going to happen as time goes on. |

Looking back now, one thing AEW should have done was somehow involve Page in the DON main event. Page is coming off a little weak compared to Jericho. Why is Page the chosen one? Would've made sense if they had the title eliminator with Pac but instead he had to win the Outlaw Mud-Show Battle Royal.

LOL when you rewatch the Cody/Spears chair shot you can see Cody's natural reflex of wanting to put up his hands and then his producers brain edit the impulse and be like "NOPE!".
