AEW XXIX: Go Home Edition

[The Clinch]

Looks like he finished college, spent a few months in the Enterprise management trainee program and decided to give wrestling a shot.

 

[BEAST]

Nice.

Nuge re-signed for 8 years at 5.1m a year.
Took low money to retire an Oiler, love that for a fan favourite.

Lots of guys have been successful and never talk.

mankind didnt talk right away
undertaker didnt talk right away
kane didnt talk right away
kamala didnt talk ever
great muta never talked

he is literally a boy raised in the jungle
who tag teams with a dinosaur,
i don't expect him to be running his mouth out here like mjf.
this main event if anything could be the catalyst for him 'learning' to speak as he becomes a more involved and important part of the show.

amazing that as a wrestling fan you don't understand this.

Babyfaces, I'm talking about babyfaces. Ones who don't talk and actually make people care are incredibly rare. Goldberg and...

Babyfaces are shit. They lose their luster fast, and their 20 minute promos suck shit a minute in.

Watching DarkE and seeing Arn Jr. for the first time in the ring..

Brock Anderson coulda tightened up some and worked out his tanning before making his debut. Instead there’s this fairly green, bleached balding guy with a lumpy butter body on tanlined sausage legs.

Don’t know about this one.

Has potential if he bulks up a bit...

I absolutely do not want 20 minute promos. A simple, to the point regular 2,3 even 5 minute promo is fine. Just something. That's all I ask. It makes the world of difference.

I have no idea why 20 minute promos are a thing.

Same as why I don't understand why, for the longest time, shows started without a main event being booked. It was always... Wrestler X starts cutting a promo at the start of the show... Wrestler Y interrupts and talks shit... they then say "Wanna fight?"... then its "This will be our main event!"

So, we had a show where the main event wasn't even booked, and has only been booked because the wrestlers happened to interact? What happens if nobody takes the initiative? What happens if nobody really has anything to say at the start of the show? Absolutely no excuse for that when you have a website, social media, YouTube, and your own network to announce shit on.

The WWE special.

That's a mood.

Sting was notoriously bad. Luger as well. Sid was hilariously shit. Bret Hart wasn’t a mic master. Storm. Benoit. Batista. Jeff Hardy. Matt seems to have discovered his inner genius in old age.

So... you're saying they talked? Right!

 

[Max Power]

Really didn't think that my super milquetoast take that a prominent babyface should cut a promo now and then, especially in the run up to a first title shot.

It was better when they didn’t.

Bad thing with watching Dark live is I cannot skip the dumb shit.

AEW may as well have Ryzin and Baron Black join the Chaos Project as they all job regularly.

 

[Batjester]

@deezy @Batjester

Good deal for the Oilers and Nuge. Being able to switch between left wing and center gives them options. Need a real goalie and a top 6 winger.


Edit: And then you have Toronto doing Toronto things bringing back the Wayne train for 2 more years.

 

[The Clinch]

D'Amboise losing to Julia Hart, ya hate to see it. Hart is too green even for Dark.

Oh joy, Hardy stable's shit ass music again.

Cap'n Dean's back, nice. JDX had a soild debut.

I think I even saw Baron Black as one of the graphics in the Elevation opening (Ryzin too maybe)

Think the opening generally features as much, if not all, of the talent each episode.

Regardless, Baron Black definitely needs like Legend of Zelda inspired ring outfits (at least that's all I can see when I look at him)

Make a new thread...fuck the Young Bucks.
