Considering the free nature of the show is probably bringing out a lot of newer people who are less familiar with the talent, WHY IS IT ON THE SHOW AT ALL? Let them do an awful comedy bit and put it on BTE or something, but don't put it in a featured spot on your pre-show. They haven't even given us a reason why it's taking place on the broadcast.

June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892169 Yeah, the preshow was pretty wretched. Nothing on it would have looked out of place on a 2011 TNA show.

June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892171 I guess this is supposed to be for the game tournament people, but that's why you have dark matches.
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892172 TBH I liked it better than anything Shane's been involved in. At least there was self-awareness that it was silly.
June 30, 20196 yr Author comment_5892173 @sek69 I agree with TG that it should have been a dark match. The tag match was fun and got you hyped for the show. The next 40 minutes had me second guessing if this is what I want to do with my Saturday night.

The "self-awareness" almost made it worse. Contrived "hyuck hyuck, let's be WACKY!" bullshit instead of letting humor arise organically out of a situation like all good comedy comes from. My old acting teacher used to beat into our heads that actors in a comedy can't know they're in a comedy. "Self-awareness" is usually comedy death.
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892176 So as an aside. My dog decided to raid the bathroom trash and needed emergency surgery this week to remove an obstruction. I am feeding her her dinner of chicken with hot dog chunks because she's being super picky. I am broke as fuck but my dog is alive and we've spent all day watching MLW and now AEW/
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892177 Coincidentally, I've been watching the 1999 yearbook and there's some Crazy MAX stuff in there. He's a little thicker and a bit slower, but props to CIMA for not aging all that much in 20 years. Excalibur is really good.
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892178 Self-awareness is exactly what they sold on BTE, including how crappy the Librarian gimmick is. Some of the irony is flying over people's head. That being said, audience making shhhhhhhhh noise reminds me of Tenzan, so it's pretty cool. Glad to see Allie again. I wonder how many weeks she's gonna go without freaking the fuck out and become dark again. That's the Bunny, you know she's batshit insane. Bates is not exactly a great worker, but then again, she's not supposed to be.
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892180 Not having seen any BTE with absolutely zero plans ever to do so in the future, I'll go on doing something else with my time if I just can't handle the awesome post-modern meta-ironic booking of AEW, which all comes across remarkably like WWE Lite like another attempted competitor historically does. What purpose does it serve to put on something that, apparently, is intentionally dumb, like the Librarian? Can we have any promotion anywhere in the U.S. that doesn't want to turn itself heel?
June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892183 I know the respect shit is way overdone but they did a good job of explaining their history and why that was different.

June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892186 I thought Nyla Rose drug down the last match she was in. I don't see how she doesn't look like a fish out of water here.

June 30, 20196 yr comment_5892189 Yeah sure, sounds like the crowd views this promotion as the heel here.
