I like Cody and look forward to seeing what WWE does with him. If itās good, Iāll watch it but if not, I wonāt. But he seemed to want too much money, too much creative control and complained about not being able to challenge for the world title even though that was his own fault by adding that stipulation to his title match with Jericho three months into the company being on TNT.
AEW has a massive amount of talent who they will need to eventually resign and I agree with the idea in regards to not sacrificing several talents to keep just one.
in a interview with the media regarding his return he noted he does not want a management role again he felt he wasnt ready for that as for his deal with wwe its a multi year deal and hes a full time talent and he will be on raw tomorrow
Yeah, I saw it. 52 minutes long.
yea while ago saw a rumor about winner of his match getting a title shot post mania so im like damn seems they are pushing him to the moon if its true but time will tell i suppose
Oh wow. Will see how that all plays out.
yea

Holy shit that was a great show. One of AEWās strengths is how they book and put on PPVās.

Man the injury bug is relentless! I hope Adam Cole gets better soon.
Just finished watching the show. A very good show. Injuries definitely hurt but overall, really good. Best match for me was Sabre vs Claudio. Looking forward to Blood & Guts on Wednesday!!

Just finished watching FD and my goodness what a good show. I think the orange Cassidy match stole the show alongside claudio.
I donāt know about the rest of you but I fined it so hard to get into WWE stories now but super easy to get into AEW stories.

I stopped watching WWE a few years ago because I got tired of seeing the same couple of people coming out and giving the same promo week after week after week leading to the same pointless, predictable matches with the same people week after week after week. And any time there was an interesting story, it would often get dropped for literally no reason only to be replaced with a rushed, nonsensical story that also often didnāt go anywhere. The last straw for me was the awful The Fiend vs Seth Rollins match that didnāt make any sense and led to The Fiend immediately getting up after Seth Rollinās face stomp finisher like 10 times in a row. It just made no sense and was awful. Not even the Undertaker would have engaged in such bullshit.
I honestly canāt wait for Vince to either retire or be forcibly removed from the picture. What happened to NXT is a great example of why Vince sucks and is entirely the problem. NXT was great because it was itās own thing separated from the bullshit factory that is WWE. But then Vince decided to take control of it and call it āNXT 2.0ā and made it awful just like RAW and Smackdown.
I donāt begrudge anyone that still enjoys WWE, but I just canāt stand watching it. With AEW, I feel like the wresting comes first, but the stories, while not always great, are at least given the time they need to develop. Also, when someone comes out to give a promo, itās not over-written nonsense that Iāve already heard for several weeks. And because the promoās are not scripted, you often get what feels like real emotions and real reactions from guys who donāt know exactly whatās coming.
The best thing about AEW for me is that every week feels like Iām seeing something new and because the focus is on actual wrestling, itās infinitely more satisfying to me than the WWE that forces their wrestlers to perform what feels like only 5-6 moves. Every match in the WWE feels the same. It becomes predictable and boring. AEW occasionally suffers from that as well, but itās rare.
Anyway, sorry for the weird stream of conscious that nobody asked for. Iām still waking up.

I enjoyed it and what that show made me realize they need to put OC in the main event scene.

Couldnāt agree with you more.
I watch the WWE highlights on YouTube if that at times. I stopped watching WWE frequently around the time the release Strowman. Been watching AEW almost every week. I wish I was in the US so I could see it live.
I remember when NXT was delivering greatness week in and week out. I gave up with that when the did the PPV of the old nxt v nxt 2.0
Hopefully this new hot water Vince is in makes him step back but i doubt it.
If you want to laugh follow Mick Foley on twitter he tells it like it is most the time.

Probably my favorite PPV since All Out 2021. These 2 companies just mesh so well together, Iām glad both Tony Khan and NJPW said they would like this event to continue because this was just too good to be a one time thing. Forbidden Door 2 in the Tokyo Dome maybe?
Apparently it did pretty good on the PPV buy rate and overall made around $6m, so I think the odds of it happening again next year are pretty high. I just hope this means weāll see more guys crossing over between promotions in general.
