The belts in wwe don't mean jack shit. That's what he's taking a shot at. And he's right.
The AEW belt is gorgeous. Big and gold. My favorite. |

It's called hypocrisy. Belts don't mean anything, oh but this brand new one does. It's the same problem I have with HHH saying something like "Guardians of the Indies" but then signing a bunch of Indy guys. Hypocrisy is Hypocrisy regardless of which brand said guy works for. Had JR not said that shit, I wouldn't have thought of it during the AEW title reveal. |

He was obviously talking about WWE making belts meaningless... not that belts shouldn't exist in wrestling...

One thing I do think it clear is that the rumors that PAC was scheduled to go over Hangman were bullshit.
I figured it would be PAC/Hangman and Omega/Jericho to decide the inaugural title match. PAC and Omega would've won, and the problem then was they wanted Omega to be the first champ but DG wanting PAC to hold the belt longer meant PAC couldn't lose a singles match in the next few months. It's whatever, I get it. PAC wants to do the right thing by his promotion and he wants the next singles match he loses to be for the title to put someone at DG over. He's demanded time limit draws against ZSJ and Ospreay for the same reasons. But then Jericho beat Omega and that throws the whole theory out the window. They weren't doing a PAC/Jericho heel vs. heel title match, and they weren't about to abort Omega as the first champ if that was the plan. So I think Hangman/Jericho was always their plan and they just simply didn't account for the fact that they were going to be asking another promotion's champion to do a clean job for nothing in return. I appreciate that they want to avoid politics, but it's wrestling. If you don't play politics, politics will eventually play you. |

The card was exhausting as it was, but don’t promote things you aren’t going to deliver. That’s just so infuriating. None of the excuses made sense. You could do the match at DoN and then not put PAC against Omega. They just fucked up.

Wacky Battle Royale rules.... a good way to start any federation!
A wrestler with no legs? Is he going to win because both legs can't touch the floor? |

Still pretty weird that Glacier was closer to being the first AEW Champion than, say, Cody.

Shawn Spears looking good..... but when he looks like your most "legit" dude out there (Not because he was in WWE, but because he actually looks good), it is an "issue".....

I didn’t like ECW nostalgia a decade after it closed, let alone two. That said, I didn’t mind Dreamer’s involvement. By all accounts he's a really nice guy and very interview I’ve ever heard from the guy makes it clear he really loves wrestling and always has.
I understand why every Dreamer appearance gets labeled as ECW nostalgia given how synonymous he was with that brand, but I try to think of it more about rewarding a good guy with a boundless passion for the industry than it is trying to remember a long-dead company. |

Of course AEW needs it's own champions. I'm hoping they come up with something innovative for a secondary title like when the X Division first came around. Once again, Jim Ross said wrestling titles have never meant less. I didn't say that, Jim Ross said that. But an additional AEW championship added to the landscape of profession wrestling is ok to him in his narrative that title belts have no value. Hypocrisy |

The wildcard guy, the only guy who got his own entrance and music, won the match! I am surprised!
Jury is still out on this hangman dude for me, but we shall see! Overall, not a great way to start out a federation, and not the best way to showcase who you hope to be one of your number one guys.... |

Nice video package for Sadie Gibbs.... they did this with parts of the Cody/Dustin package earlier too, but I like that they are not "afraid" to just show images with music and let that speak for itself, instead of feeling like they need to have them talking....
