Given the current situation, this was a good show.
-Tables match was a solid opener with a memorable finish. -Bayley/Nikki was a good match. -MVP segment was short and fine. -Seth/Rey was very good. Chicken shit to chicken salad. -Sasha/Asuka was also very good. The finish was a mess, but I want to think that was by design to have a layup rematch for Summerslam, which sounds good to me. -Drew/Dolph told a solid story. It’s not easy to create sympathy for a 6’4” 250 lb dude when he’s facing a guy that he towers over. This was good stuff. -Swamp fight was cheese but Wyatt‘a character(s) has no boundaries, so I was open minded to whatever whackiness the WWE had planned. Hoping the Fiend takes the title. I appreciate that this show was focused. What I mean by that is the WWE had a plan to elevate a handful of people tonight, and I thought it was effective. Bayley, Sasha, Wyatt, Drew, and Seth all came out better than how they entered the night. Meanwhile they protected other stars such as Asuka and Braun. This wasn’t a must-see by any stretch, but for a night of wrestling with a few beers, it was definitely fun. |

Somehow WWE is still better than AEW. How is that even possible?

It’s not though. Hating AEW is “the thing to do” and I’m not even gonna argue that AEW isn’t fucked at every turn.
But as a stand-alone show, WWE has just about every problem AEW has plus a shitload more that basically amount to “We got the market cornered. We’re bulletproof. Fuck it!” |

The WWE has at least conditioned you to expect to be insulted. AEW tells you that it's going to be something different and then insults you any way. Fucking hell, there needs to be something else.

How long does AEW have to exist before it gets the privilege of “conditioning you” that WWE gets that excuses its awfulness to some extent?

WWE is literally the reason you need “something different” so badly.

Where do you encounter this? Honest question, because in every corner of the internet fan bubble I visit, you are called a troll if you don't praise the shit out of them. Seriously. Where is this oasis?
I mean, most wrestling fans don't give a flying fuck AEW exists, but you can't criticize this promotion without a bunch of bitches having a BigCrippyZ at you. |

Otis should have been given the R Truth treatment last night with vignettes walking around a swamp looking for Braun carrying a briefcase while Mandy looked all disgusted at the bugs and slime that were getting on her

According to the Observer, Apollo Crews absence from last night's PPV was coronavirus related.

Also seems WWE could potentially get in some trouble with the FCC for faking the "live" tv tag during the Eye for an Eye match since PWI reported that match was taped earlier in the day.
Also revealed that Vince was very hands-on with the layout of the entire match. Quote:

the ppv was pretty horrible. the fuck even was that "swamp" match?
Even my family member who I keep the sub for was not happy with it. Seemed like a clusterfuck of things that just made you scratch your head in a real "WTF" way. I dunno how to better articulate that. |

Is this a reference to my post in the other thread? You forced yourself to ignore my explanation and just skipped to the last part where you “got called names”, didn’t you? Be honest.

I just don't understand why some people on this board seem to take personal offense to anyone liking AEW (or any wrestling show for that matter).
It's fine if you don't like it yourself but I just don't understand getting up on your soapbox and being like "How can any of you people like this? STOP HAVING FUN!" |

It’s frustrating, because I have the feeling that this is going to be seen as the best possible shot anyone can ever take at Vince McMahon, so they won’t bother trying in the future. Pretty sure this is handing Vince more power than ever. So yeah, it’s pretty annoying dumb cunts like BigCrippyZ are doing that and then likely to cry about it. But enjoy what you enjoy. You are going to be accused of bad taste though. |

What you are describing is the tone towards WWE, not AEW. I don't recall ever seeing any posts about hoping Tony Khan goes bankrupt or wishing for his death here, just Vince McMahon. |

I don't mind the Eater of Worlds version of Bray in small doses, but you are right on about a long incoherent promo not cutting it as a main event PPV match. They promited a swamp fight, and gave us a swamp promo with a bit of brawling. They event went with a false finish before The Fiend. I had high hopes for this version of a cinematic match, but it ended up being maybe the 2nd worse one they have done, and that is only because they had a normal NXT match be cinematic for some odd reason.

Like, if you don't like AEW and want to be a dick about it, then fine. It's TPWW. You can do that.
But don't sit there and act like a victim. Don't be a pussy. Own it. |

Lol, I remember when this forum got their panties in a twist because I said Alexa Bliss wasn't very good. Sensitive fucking bunch here.
