I just want to say that I acknowledge that without The Elite, AEW wouldn't exist. I also acknowledge that they have a lot of fans. That being said, I actually think I would enjoy AEW more if Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks & Hangman Adam Page all left the promotion.

Here's the question I want to ask: does the in-ring work in AEW improve if they fire both The Young Bucks and C.M. Punk? Because I think it makes the show better... unless they spend their time to give more time to shit like Chris Jericho.

What would be the point? Drop a bunch of F bombs and start a feud with another babyface to an audience that's a lot smaller than Dynamite? Seems stupid and counterproductive. This just makes everyone involved, and the company as a whole, look like shit.

Punk wearing all white in Chicago as the babyface, so you know he's going to be bleeding a gusher.

It's bad enough that on their biggest show AEW had Chris Jericho Vs. Bryan Danielson booked, as it really doesn't help grow anyone for the future... but then Jericho just goes over & it's like... what the fuck is the point? This show has sucked, I'm sorry. There's been some good wrestling but the crowd being sitting on their hands most of the night, the booking/finishes & the match order have completely killed the show.

This PPV has had some very questionable & wonky booking decisions tonight, so I hope Tony Khan has something up his sleeve. He made the comments about the roster being super strong after tonight, if he's just talking about the return of MJF, then I don't know if tonight is going to be a success.

K.

Sadly, the majority of this PPV so far has been sitting around waiting for a match to end because they're giving it too much time. This women's match is no exception. Fucking GO HOME.

Women in the cool down spot again. Anyone but Shida imo.

Turned into a really good match but they should have pulled the trigger.

If it's not already the plan, they should call an audible and strap The Acclaimed.

Well, that was... unexpected.

I honestly expected the live crowd to be a lot more hype tonight but they've been surprisingly subdued for the majority of this show so far. Granted there's not been a ton of top end stuff yet, but usually AEW crowds, especially on PPV, are rabid.

That match was awful. If Dave doesn't give that negative stars, I'll be shocked. They botched damn near everything they tried to do. They were both sloppy. The Baddies even fucked up the pinfall attempt at the beginning so Jade had to kick out of Athena's finish. Just miserably bad.

The new Marvel She-Hulk show is terrible... but Jade coming out as She-Hulk is cool.

Great finish during the Trios finals. I bought into Silver because Omega is the kind of guy that would put someone over like that.

So much talent in this throwaway match.

Why are they not trying to WIN!?

I hope this thread has more activity for the live show than it's had for the pre show.

Ishii comes all the way over from Japan to get a pre-show YouTube match? Rough.

He's also... not good.

Dude, how much cocaine is Daddy Magic on? That dude is channeling the 80's. Cool that Action Bronson is there.
