Kenny Omega seems to be the coolest dude ever. I talked with him for 1 minute in a meet and greet and he shouted RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE after looking at my altered beast hat

Awww...

Yeah as a professionally trained actor with a degree in performing arts, I'd die to just get to talk to him about the acting process in wrestling

Surprised but not overly so at White winning. Said last night I could see them going all in with him now that Omega is out.

Match was pretty good but not great. I don't think White and Tanahashi have great chemistry. Finish felt flat but idk if that's what they were going for.

I'm willing to give it a shot.

Though I will say it would be super unlike modern NJPW if he drops it at MSG. It'd be two straight month-long reigns which would be really weird.

I think if anything it's just to fill in the time that Kenny was supposed to still be champ.. could see them going to Dominion though I suppose. We'll see what happens with the NJ Cup

Forget these Destiny and Undertale entrances, when do we get Omega strutting down the ramp with the distinct gait of the Altered Beast Bear?

White did it!

I always believed in him, even when most were making fun of his look.

Industrial 90s NIN look forever!!!

Tana/White was meh. White is the worst IWGP champ since I started watching. I get they want to have an english speaking wrestler be one of their top guys but he's not there at least not yet.

Securing those huge deals for unknown guys would be a good deal only if the elite is damn sure than these prospects are out of this world talents that need to be secured before the wwe looks at them.

Otherwise, it would be weird to give these good deals to those wrestlers, and more when you consider that they are probably paying the same for all the midcarders that have been announced so far

Here's the deal I'm convinced they can sell their big shows, I'm not convinced they;re gonna get meaningful TV ratings,

WWE sold a trash product with declining ratings for a billion+

People need to recalibrate what it means to be successful in 2019

There are no longer any logical predictors when it comes to success in televised entertainment.

You can be bad and successful and be good and be a failure.

We'll just have to wait and see. That's not very "hot take" friendly, but that is what it is.

Is something really worth saying if you can't say "called it" in 8 months?

Some great, some good, some bad all represented in this White/Tana match.

Can't wait for the "fall to knees" spot to spread to a Yujiro singles match.

Overall, I'm really enjoying it.

I'm curious in which is the potential market for AEW. Some fans always claim that there is a huge market of former wrestling fans that dropped wrestling since 2002 that are waiting for an alternative, but I feel that those fans are done with wrestling as a whole, unless suddenly the industry becomes a cultural phenom like once was.

Then I don't how much of the actual fans who watch the weekly WWE shows want to see a new alternative or if they just watch the product for tradition.

With all things considered, I think that a 1.0 rating would be a huge success as long as their tv deal doesn't ask for better ratings than the WWE
