August 22, 20205 yr comment_5926417 The spoilers were pretty inexact for the Women's Tag Team Cup so not holding much stock about the rest. We'll see tonight.
August 22, 20205 yr Author comment_5926437 WHY DO AMERICAN SPORTS HAVE SO MANY BREAKS AND TIMEOUTS Seriously, how do you all stand for it. A 48+30 min game should not take 3 fucking hours to finish
August 22, 20205 yr Author comment_5926442 I am on Fite and thus on a 30-second delay. I hope they keep mentioning how this is wrestling returning to Turner on Saturday evening in decades. Connecting Dynamite to a stream of history makes it feel more legit
August 22, 20205 yr comment_5926443 Going right to the matches with little or no introduction is giving me 6:05 vibes as well.
August 22, 20205 yr comment_5926446 Mimosa Mayhem! Surprised I didn't see that coming considering the orange juice based attacks OC has been using.
August 22, 20205 yr Author comment_5926450 That was a really good match. I am guessing they book a triple threat for the tag titles for All Out and then build to FTR v. YB for the next PPV?
August 22, 20205 yr Author comment_5926453 Man, Kingston really is a great promo. I am guessing this stable is a substitute for Death Triangle that was their plan pre-COVID. I like Kingston a lot more than PAC so I like this more
August 22, 20205 yr Author comment_5926455 wtf is this mimosa mayhem. Is this like a gimmick to attract more 18-34s

August 23, 20205 yr comment_5926460 If this finals of the Women's tournament is any indication, it's a good thing the rest of the tournament was on YouTube & not TV.
August 23, 20205 yr Author comment_5926461 As much as I don't like Omega, this slow-burn Omega-YB-Page angle is being done brilliantly No one in wrestling moves like Darby. He genuinely has megastar potential
August 23, 20205 yr Author comment_5926463 That Darby-Starks angle started real corny and ended real awesome. Props to Starks that was a brilliant promo
August 23, 20205 yr Author comment_5926466 Why has Brandi randomly become a complete heel? Why are her turns more schizophrenic than WWE at their worst?
August 23, 20205 yr Author comment_5926467 Jesus THAT is how you rehab a gimmick. What a main event angle. When they zoomed on to Arn I literally yelled out loud
August 23, 20205 yr comment_5926485 I feel like having Eddie Kingston in a stable does him a disservice. I didn't like it in TNA or ROH. He should be a loner going after Moxley after the MJF feud. Also Fenix should be a babyface. That final angle was the first time since joining AEW that Brodie Lee looked like a star. Props to Cody for taking that type of beating. Dark Order looked like credible threats instead of the tall guy, fat guy and goofs. Great stuff.
August 23, 20205 yr comment_5926486 Every single wrestler that is in AEW that was previously in Lucha Underground, was better in Lucha Underground than they are in AEW. Fenix definitely falls into that category for me. So does Pentagon, Jr. to a ridiculous degree. Jack Evans, Angelico, arguably even Brian Cage whom AEW has probably done the best with... and even that hasn't been great. I don't know what exactly is missing from AEW but it just feels... off to me. I can't buy into it. I don't know why. LU was WAY over the top, to the point of being ridiculous, but I loved it. I never missed it. I don't know if it's the pandemic, or the people in charge or what, but AEW to me doesn't feel like it matters if you watch the show or not. There's nothing drawing me in as a viewer that makes it must-see TV.

I am obviously in the completely opposite boat from you as far as enjoying AEW in general goes, but I agree about AEW not utilising LU alumni as well as LU used to book them. Pentagon for instance has been reduced to a clone of his brother, and both him and Fenix no work as Young Bucks clones, both of which is really stupid.
August 23, 20205 yr comment_5926523 Just think about how much better this would have been if Brodie Lee had delivered his post-match promo with a Southern accent.

I don't think that's AEW's fault, though - they were working that way for years before, really since they started tagging regularly in the US. Their work in MLW and Impact as a tag team is the same. They could probably get more out of them as singles. The Bucks feud was really good and had enough juice for two PPV matches (that they had to build without TV). But they've been directionless for so long that it's almost hard to remember that Penta vs Omega was a dream match at All In.
