First time I am seeing her, and I'm really impressed. And I know the Sears Centre will be hot no matter what, but she seemed over with the crowd right away.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906379 I like this woman's match more than the Lucha-Lucha-Best Friends match.

JR still has his moments here and there where he sounds like the JR of old. I can't even imagine what it must be like for a guy who came up under Bill Watts in Mid South to watch some of the stuff AEW does, but Ross tries to keep up. In some ways I'm sure AEW would benefit from a younger, newer announce team, but in a sense it's nice to hear JR and Tony calling Pro Wrestling again on television.

November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906386 That looks like a hoss tag team, and I am all for it, because the AEW tag division needs a hoss team.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906387 I like the looks of these guys but this so where vignettes would be so valuable. If they had Butcher and Blade vignettes leading up to the attack, people would have been more amped. With that said, I love how ARE has no problem putting people in a position to succeed instead of a position to fail.

November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906390 I hope they at least try to explain who the fuck The Butcher & The Blade are at some point...
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906391 My major complaint with that random debut was Excalibur not explaining where he knew them from to a totally confused JR
November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906394 They really need to do more vignettes. If nothing else, put them on Twitter and social media prior to debuting them, so the reaction is not blunted by utter confusion.
November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906396 See, it's not hard to do inset vignettes! Do it for everybody, AEW!

Agree, but there is also a contingency of people I've noticed online who are waiting to scream WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHY WAS THERE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS? if Cody wears a blue suit instead of pink or whatever.

The number of people just hoping/waiting for AEW to fail is many, and that's quite sad.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906400 Not sure how I feel about one of my Pirate heroes Andy Van Slyke hawking testosterone boosting pills in these commercials.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906401 We are 80 minutes in, and at no point have I felt compelled to turn to NXT. Props to AEW for getting wrestling TV right.

It's weird they do it in a way where they think the crowd is going to react with a big pop. They definitely need to explain who some of these people are more. Especially if Excalibur on commentary is pretending he already knows everyone. I dig the look of The Blade & The Butcher. So I hope we learn more & soon. Hope that Suplex into Lungblower isn't their finish though. That was... not impressive. It's weird how AEW feels like it's more my speed when I don't love a lot of the wrestling style they try to push. But like all the Jericho stuff has been great to me. They do entertaining, non-wrestling stuff a lot. That's where NXT really fails.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906404 Is the diamond ring thing going to be a one off gimmick or take the place of a secondary title do we think?
