So. I listen a bit to jim cornette. I agree with a lot of his gripes about modern wrestling, specifically the lack of selling and the obvious cooperation.

But he complains about AEWs booking, and i disagree. It replicates MMA booking, they have long term stories, only it is not 3 month rivalries.
They stick with clean finishes, but heels can still do heel things. But i like how they have mutual hate and respect storylines. Like mox and darby, mox+lucha bros, death triangle+archer.

This is why I love AEW. I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown in a year (few minutes here or there) but AEW brings me back to my days watching wrestling as a kid.

The first couple of weeks are hard, but then it gets easy. I still watch NXT doe

FROM NORTH CAROLINAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Omegas entrance is awesome, easily a top 5 entrance all time. Really original s**t on what he has the announcer say.

I pop every time he does it. Also love the completely unnecessary sweeper girls.

Ricochet should go to AEW or back to NXT. Vince doesn't know ratings.

Ricochet is a tremendous wrestler and athlete and yes Vince is wasting away his talents, but he doesn't equal ratings.

He does deserve better and should take his talent elsewhere though.

As athletic as some of these guys are, it doesn't mean s**t if you have a meh character and cant deliver good promos.

I hear even Austin say how your in ring ability needs to be priority #1. BS. You can be an amazing wrestler and not mean much. Shelton Benjamin will tell you that.

When you look at the all time greats, very few of them are considered great wrestlers. If you can do both, awesome, even better, but character is #1 and not even close. Cena, Austin, Hogan, meh wrestlers but no one brought in more money than them. And Vince and Bischoff are two of the greatest draws as well and couldn't wrestle at all.

Yep, AEW is doing great, especially with long term booking/storylines, love the mutual hate/respect storylines too.

I believe they are Jags cheerleaders

Good PPV, glad I didn't order it though, no other AEW guys, but the Main Event, the Knockouts title, the X-Division 3-way, and the Edwards/Callihan match were the best.

New Japan/AEW and Impact all working together. That's what I got tonight when he came out wearing Bullet Club gear. This should be fun.

Honestly it makes sense. The wrestlers want the freedom to go work with other wrestlers. If they are allowed to use bullet club copyrights on other shows it will only help the merchandise sales.
Then you can story it where the NJPW bullet club gets fed up and invades to shut up the elite.
An example, MJF vs Omega for the title, bullet club attacks causing a DQ or no decision. No MJF is pissed, and by extension the inner circle, and they arrive in japan to attack the bullet club.

Then AJ, Balor and Adam Cole invade AEW!
