But, your'e also the same guy who about had an aneurysm when I pointed out that HHH was a mediocre talent, no mater how much a mind for the business he may have, so pardon me for not agreeing with you on this, either.

Again, if AEW strives to just be like any other indy company and appeal just to those fans then fine. “Well, indy fans know him!” and “But other wrestling audiences are made up of the same people!” are good enough reasons for anything they do.
That’s not exactly a recipe for success if they want this TNT thing to last though. If they wanna be just another indy fed, that’s what they’ll be soon enough. |

AEW is ALL ENCLUSIVE everyone is welcome at AEW. So if Excalibur identifies as a luchadore who are we to tell him he's not?

Also, was Alex Marvez still there for Fight for the Fallen? I still watch the opening of the Double or Nothing pre-show sometimes because of that amazing awkwardness. It actually distracted from “why is the other commentator wearing a mask?”

They had a guy with NO LEGS in a battle royal where BOTH FEET MUST TOUCH THE GROUND.

Marvez was back at Fight for the Fallen. The Goldenboy guy from Fyter Fest wasn’t bad. AEW needs to just get Mike Tenay.

I'd be fine with just JR and Excalibur. No idea why AEW is following the WWE trend of being so gung-ho about 3-man booths.

They just need him in the booth now for the name recognition and to help train the current team they have. Although this was before anyone realized how bad Marvez actually is so who knows if that's still the plan. |

And as easy as it is to call for his head, I seriously hope Marvez can find his footing. It took awhile for Corey Graves to become decent... he was pretty brutal in the initial transition from wrestler to announcer. They obviously see something in Marvez to want him to be "that guy", and maybe they can eventually polish the stink off that turd with work and reps. Maybe. |

If this were WWE, Marvez being remarkably awkward and terrible would be turned into a gimmick.

The mask doesn't bother me but once TV starts I wouldn't be opposed to them doing an angle with Ex and having his mask on line for a match. MJF vs whoever Ex chooses to represent him, maybe Cutler. MJF wins and Ex has to unmasked and reveal his who he really is.

I think you guys are being a bunch of whiny penises about something that does not matter in any way at all, but I suppose reasonable minds can differ.
But I think we can all agree that nothing is as damaging to the credibility and professionalism of AEW as that garbage on Alex Marvez’ chin. Good grief. |

I'd really like to hear Tony and Jr call an AEW show with Excalibur.

I would love for Schiavone to take over if JR transitions to a backstage role. I think he and Excalibur would make a good team.
Excalibur seems to be really good at calling the moves but I don't know if his storytelling is any good. Schiavone obvs has the edge in that sense and Tony can crank the raw enthusiasm for big moments. |

Tony had a meeting set up at Cody’s house presumably to discuss working with AEW. Tony did not show up. His steak was fed to the dog.

Graves has charisma tho. Marvez has zero personality.

Excalibur wearing a mask is frustrating because it’s like the guy walked into his job interview wearing his trackies. Big wrestling names with established gimmicks he is not. I was never confused as to what Jerry Lawler was supposed to be. I still don’t know what the fuck Excalibur is.

Marvez should have a job, but I’m not sure it should be at that booth.
