sek69 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I had a blip or two in this match but it's been largely fine. Watching on an iPad via the BR site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Order went over like a fart in church. The Librarian shit was dumb as hell and most feedback I have seen so far online has disliked the CEO match. That's 40 minutes of back to back garbage that WWE or TNA or WCW or whoever would get killed for and rightfully so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who need to be sold on the promotion the least are into it, yes. But it's a bad sign for how their TNT show is going to go. I'd rather they not play the, "Well, we can wait and change our presentation model when we have to" game and work on differentiating themselves and selling themselves to a new audience *now.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 They worked their asses off to make Nyla look good. AEW using Joshi talent was a really good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Took a bit to get going, but that turned in to a nice little match there. Liked the story of the bigger person taking the littler ones not serious enough and it cost her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing to the crowd in several ways like the hardcore match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I mean, guys, I don't think Alex Jebailey is going to be doing matches on TNT. I think people are getting way to MAD ONLINE at something designed for the audience they are in front of tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 JR was fine during CIMA-Daniels but he seemed a bit out of his element during that one. And to his/the show's credit he took a step back and let Excalibur and not-Excalibur do most of the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the next non-wrestling buddy of one of the Elite who's going to get a plum spot on an AEW show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just cater to a bunch of devoted BTE viewers--not on national cable TV and not now, either. But AEW didn't learn a thing from the DoN pre-show, which is concerning no matter how good the actual shows proper are or have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 JR said that MJF is like a young 1980's Paul Heyman. Gee I wonder it what ways Jim  Does this show have a set end time because if it does they need to cut some things that are NOT the last two matches  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Jungle Boy reminds me of how so many territories had the cute young guy to draw the female fans, and how WWE will never have that since guys have to spend 6 years in developmental learning how to work to the hard cam.

Keep in mind he's only been doing it a few years but he's really good and has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
