First time I am seeing her, and I'm really impressed. And I know the Sears Centre will be hot no matter what, but she seemed over with the crowd right away.

goodhelmet Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I like this woman's match more than the Lucha-Lucha-Best Friends match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR still has his moments here and there where he sounds like the JR of old. I can't even imagine what it must be like for a guy who came up under Bill Watts in Mid South to watch some of the stuff AEW does, but Ross tries to keep up. In some ways I'm sure AEW would benefit from a younger, newer announce team, but in a sense it's nice to hear JR and Tony calling Pro Wrestling again on television.

MoS Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 That looks like a hoss tag team, and I am all for it, because the AEW tag division needs a hoss team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I like the looks of these guys but this so where vignettes would be so valuable. If they had Butcher and Blade vignettes leading up to the attack, people would have been more amped. With that said, I love how ARE has no problem putting people in a position to succeed instead of a position to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 They really need to do more vignettes. If nothing else, put them on Twitter and social media prior to debuting them, so the reaction is not blunted by utter confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but there is also a contingency of people I've noticed online who are waiting to scream WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHY WAS THERE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS? if Cody wears a blue suit instead of pink or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of people just hoping/waiting for AEW to fail is many, and that's quite sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird they do it in a way where they think the crowd is going to react with a big pop. They definitely need to explain who some of these people are more. Especially if Excalibur on commentary is pretending he already knows everyone. I dig the look of The Blade & The Butcher. So I hope we learn more & soon. Hope that Suplex into Lungblower isn't their finish though. That was... not impressive. It's weird how AEW feels like it's more my speed when I don't love a lot of the wrestling style they try to push. But like all the Jericho stuff has been great to me. They do entertaining, non-wrestling stuff a lot. That's where NXT really fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
