I just don't understand what happened, everyone use to get pumped for chair shots and big bumps and crazy spots.

Now any of that stuff happens and everyone involved is immediately a fucking idiot.

Benoit happened and a steady stream of deaths and destroyed bodies followed.

You really need to branch out from WWE. There aren't really chairshots anymore but plenty of big bumps and crazy spots to be had.

I've watched plenty of other products over the years to be honest with you.

Also something going on that is really weird right now...I think if you read stuff from AEW wrestlers and the fans this company has an extremely certain demo they are going for to the point that I think it could turn some people off. I've already had a friend of mine tell me they don't feel welcome.

I'll be honest, I thought the street fighter shit was stupid as all hell and made Omega come off like a fucking rube to me. But I understand they seem to be shooting for this mix of "people who hate WWE" "gaming and anime nerds" type of audience, which yea I don't exactly jive with to be honest.

...well the event was also at a fighting game tournament so as a one off it was fine.

So... the start to Raw was something.

I liked it

Everyone on Twitter was losing their minds...I was just like whatever.

We've seen that spot 50 times before and it's the kind of grandiose shit Vince goes for because they can't get anyone over or tell stories.

Yeah and if AEW did something like that you'd piss your pants from excitement
[Reply]

I would....? Ok. :-)

You probably think the Undertaker and Shane McMahon being things in 2019 is cool too huh?

Unprotected chairshots are stupid. I am glad we moved past that and wrestlers are now taking them on the back or getting their arms up.

So raw got good all of the sudden.

Fight for the Fallen for AEW is already almost upon us. Another free B/R Live PPV and I believe the last show before All Out.

Brandi Rhodes vs. Allie
Havoc/Allin/Janela vs MJF/Spears/Guevara
SCU vs Lucha Bros
Cima vs Kenny Omega
Cody/Dustin vs Young Bucks

I am sure there will be more announced but that's a solid lineup for a free show. The 6-man could be very fun. I am glad the deathmatch guys are already teaming together.
[Reply]

Well scu vs lucha bros going to be tight.
[Reply]

So how much will their watch be hurt by the WWE running an opposing show?
[Reply]

Depending on who watches evolve plus aew has name recognition wrestling that night while wwe has guys who are well known by a few.
