Fingers crossed on the ratings. Anything above a million is hot shit.
It seemed chaotic but when you think it through they set up Page vs Hagar, Young Bucks vs LAX, MJF or Dustin vs Sammy, Jericho vs Cody, Jericho vs Darby.
It all made sense!
More important than bringing back lapsed fans, they'll make brand new fans of wrestling. People who were babies or not even born when Nitro vs RAW was a thing.
Current mood:I can't remember the last time an episode of weekly wrestling made me feel like this
And I imagine will play into his eventual turn against Cody. "I did what the fans wanted and this is what I get?!?!"The MJF bit was brilliant.
No swerve of him turning on Cody, but the fact he just soaked in the cheers afterward and began grinning like a smug prick tells so much about his character.
I think those were the best two hours of AEW yet, better than their PPV's. Greatness throughout.
If Darby keeps this up we'll have the entire soundtracks of THPS2 and 3 in this thread within weeks.
Same. I am on such a fucking high right now.I have to admit that I've actually gotten a bit emotionally overwhelmed the past two weeks watching this.
I've been watching wrestling since the 90s, and while I've still kept up with WWE to this point, it's been missing a soul for a very long time. At least, minus NXT. This has such a nostalgic feel to it while still being fresh, and it makes me extremely happy.
... And to think that they still haven't shown Jurassic Express and the Lucha Bros on live TV. 🤯
Jealous as hell.I am so pumped that I'm going to be there live next week in Philly.
It was better. Still could use some improvement. But definitely louder than last week.Didn't get to watch yet. Did they turn up the theme music? I could barely hear it last week.
I didn't know I still had these feelings inside me to be honest. WWE tried their best to kill my passion.I have to admit that I've actually gotten a bit emotionally overwhelmed the past two weeks watching this.

Absolutely the same here, man. Mine has suffered through my retelling of wrestling history and has been cringing at the recent years of wwe, using is as background noise when I'm watching. Since AEW is here, she's actually put her phone down, loves seeing guys like Dustin looking great, she's interested in the build ups and all of that.My wife, god bless her, has put up with WWE shit for years.
She absolutely, unironically LOVES AEW.
That show should be dope. I'm jealous.I am so pumped that I'm going to be there live next week in Philly.
I know it's not gonna happen yet, but I really do wanna see Darby with the championship belt. Every match he's in is incredible. Excited for next week.
I could hear the music just fine, so I'd say yes.Didn't get to watch yet. Did they turn up the theme music? I could barely hear it last week.
I swear, I'll take a damned Kickstarter game fundingman when the eventual AEW game comes out, there needs to be a rumble entrance where Darby automatically enters with a skateboard (like La Parka with a chair in WCW/NWO Revenge)
My poor girlfriend. It's going to be her first wrestling event and that crowd is going to be fucking nuts.
The last thing she'll hear before she goes deaf for the rest of her life will be "Tag Team Wrestling".My poor girlfriend. It's going to be her first wrestling event and that crowd is going to be fucking nuts.
LOL. I'm definitely going to make sure we have earplugs she can wear.The last thing she'll hear before she goes deaf for the rest of her life will be "Tag Team Wrestling".
