"Yes exactly! Like the whole premise of AEW: A proper wrestling show for wrestling fans, without the rampant sexism and racism that we've been spoon fed for years, and just a general sense of welcoming community"
On a serious note, imagine how much fun it'd be! Loads of AEdub fans in the same place, outside of All In, just enjoying it all at once.
The more I think about it the more I want it.
Pleeeease don't toy with my emotions like this. It's not even funny how quickly I'd pack up my current life for this 😂
Obviously this is very speculative at this point, but fuck it.
I absolutely LOVE the idea of watching an AEW PPV somewhere with other fans.
There are no logistics understood right now, far from it, it's more of a sense check.
Spread the word far and wide! #AEW
Theoretically, how interested would UK -based people be in some form of viewing party of an AEW PPV?
No, not at my house, but at a neutral location where we can gather, conglomerate, and enjoy it all together?
I'm really keen on bringing the UK fanbase together in the same place. #AEW #WRESTLING
It's funny, as a wrestling fan who understands the ebb and flow of attendance and popularity, this is a non-event. Certainly doesn't mean WWE is dying.
However, as an AEW enthusiast who has ensured YEARS of naysaying... WWE IS GOING TO BE DEAD IN A YEAR! THEY CANT EVEN SELL THE HARDCAM SIDE!!!
I cannot make the seriousness of my upcoming message clear enough: No!
People care. People care very fucking much. A select proportion (the amount, I'll leave up to you) of WWE fans, do not understand or give a shit as to why the ongoing affiliation is disgusting.
Yeah and I bet that pipe would be REAL visible swinging underneath that short skirt she wears, right?! Makes me sick.
(The message above was made in jest and should be addressed to Gail Kim immediately. Thank you)
It felt very unfinished, didn't it? Very 1.0.
Some of the basics were totally lacking (match types, primarily), but the engine itself was really enjoyable.
Loved the No Mercy vibes. Wasn't a million miles away from being good.
A little bit thrown together, maybe? Very Collision. The Death Riders match is a prime example. Do I understand it? No. Will I enjoy it? Almost certainly.
Absolutely thought that Ronald Weasley had committed arson, there.
I'd want @eviluno.bsky.social involved in the creation of it! The guy has great gaming chops. Wrestling pun not intended.
Part of me wishes that Kyle wouldn't give Richards the air time, but then I think of course he should have something to say. Why shouldn't he defend himself?
This guy is a generational talent and that is completely obvious. Richards trying to bury him is just gross old-fashioned work.
I know your post is about the plethora of quality AEW storylines, and I couldn't agree more. But I wanted to stop by and share that this picture has performed some kind of sexual awakening in me.
I'm a married, 37 year old straight man.
What's funny about the Paramount stuff is that there are WWE fans praying for the end of AEW as a result of it, just...because.
It used to be "AEW is awful wrestling". Now they just don't want them to exist because it's not WWE. Not even pretending it's anything to do with wrestling any more. #AEW
Ahhhhh, Monopoly. I see. Thank you kindly.
As someone not very knowledgeable about networks etc, can someone explain what makes this so bad? The sentiment I'm seeing is absolutely horrific!
"I know everyone - to get fans away from AEW, and not talking about them, we'll make not-so-subtle references to them, their biggest event and even their colour scheme! That'll show them!"
*High fives in moron*
Also, using terms like "The boys" is so outdated and ignorant. It should tell you everything you need to know about this guy.
Wake the fuck up, Bully.
It's impossible to listen to people like him when it comes to AEW. He's got the WWE spoon in his mouth.
He's literally involved with WWE in numerous ways, to this day. I genuinely think it's the equivalent as if any member of their roster was to talk about AEW. Not going to be positive is it.
When Kenny Omega ended up with swollen knees as a result of his high-stress, steak and whiskey diet, and became the Best Gout Machine #AEW
This is the most consistent, high quality and focused that I've seen them be. It's an absolute delight to see. Weirdly it feels like there's a lot of pressure on today to keep that up!
They both made that roll-up finish look so smooth and easy. Like it was nothing.
Last week I rolled and nearly snapped my ankle ligaments walking normally on a completely flat path.
We are not the same.
FYI - That was supposed to be a GIF of Kenny. Instead it seems to have posted a still image/window into the future showing him a grizzled 79 year old veteran of the biz.
Going into #AEWALLIN, I'm trying to think what my #AEW highlight of the year has been so far. I was genuinely struggling with the plethora of options.
Then I realised. It was always going to be Bodies during AITA.
What about everyone else?
Possibly an understatement, but I'm partial to some Kenny. That said, I'm opening with Toni and Mercedes - they fucking deserve it.
You're right though, there's no bathroom breaks here: I'm pissing myself and happy about it.
