AEW All Elite Wrestling #8: Grabbing the Brass Ring of Honor

[im gangster]

Yeah everyone should be impressed with Miz's career. In 2005 or so when he debuted, I don't know if anyone thought he'd even last a year, let alone winning all those titles.

I don’t see how the dots connect between him debuting and eventually being a champion, but good for him for sure, yeah.

To be honest when I wasn’t watching, and occasionally read his name wherever, I had at least seen him in the outlandish outfits and presumed that his character was some kinda gender-bender or something, playing off of Ms.(Vs Miss or Mrs.).

I'm so sick of this best of 7 series.

I'm not sick of it, I've enjoyed every one so far... but this backstage falls count anywhere is bad. None of the 6 are good in this setting and the camera angles suck

seen the match 5 times already but still 10x more entertaining then any match mjf has had in aew so far.

You are either a WWE ride or die fan... or you're being willfully contrary.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Lol. That acclaimed music vid.... amazing

I really enjoyed the first two matches but it became repetitive after that. Matches 3 and 4 were still pretty good but I didn't like the hardcore match or tonight's. Part of the problem for me is that it seems like a foregone conclusion that The Elite will win the series.

Fair enough!

Separate note

I really love Samoa Joe's run since his return

 

[GKJ]

lol they put wardlow to sleep

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Lol, and finally Wardlow loses his stupid hair. Awesome ending

I loved Darby coming out to attack Joe. Hope he gets a big push going forward. Joe has been badass lately. I'm also glad the hair is gone.

Be elite... be be elite.

Don't hate. That match sucked and everyone knew/knows Elite will win in 7.

Elite rock though....

They’re definitely good wrestlers, I can’t deny them that. But this is So predictable

If they do the job in the 7th match I’ll gladly be very wrong about them. We know they won’t though. Meanwhile FTR is buried after becoming the most over tag team on the planet. Hmmmmm I wonder how that happened?

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Elite losing the 7th would really be a solid booking decision. Kenny could go on his way and enter the singles arena again.... bucks back to the tag division. As much fun as I've had for most of the trios matches.... it's pretty dumb. Let it fade, TK, let it fade.

But... I don't get the the hate against FTR booking (it's not just you). I LOVE FTR. They are my favorite tag team. But. They were draped in gold... sure... they didn't have the AEW tag belts. But the Acclaimed are WHITE hot (everyone loves The Acclaimed afterall), no way FTR takes those belts right now. I'm looking forward to a continued FTR losing streak followed by one hell of a come back for the AEW tag titles (in a bit).

 

[Megahab]

I don't think it's such a sure thing that The Elite will win match 7, is it?

If Elite is going to win, they should have Elite up 3-1, and then Death Triangle comes back to force match 7 but Elite end up winning. Death Triangle dropping a 3-1 lead just makes them look bad.

I don’t even need FTR to have the belts at this point but they need to at least be featured

That's fair.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Whoever wins in two weeks the House of Black should be winning the belts off that team like relatively soon afterwards. I am not particularly worried about which team wins the series as long as that happens. If they aren't doing that then keep the belts on PAC/Lucha Bros.

Their booking just utterly baffles me...well to an extent. It's pretty well known now how bitchy The Bucks can be.

Really speaks for itself. There’s no possible defense of it. Not even the biggest Young Bucks mark in here can really challenge that this is on them.

I specify “in here” because the Young Bucks are the biggest mark for the Young Bucks worldwide

I think this whole Punk saga proved to anyone that still doubted it that they are incredibly petty.

Still Tony has final say, I don't get why he doesn't book them more.

Doesn’t want to cross the people he started the company with, even if it directly hurts his business unfortunately

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think he just f***ed up and missed the boat on doing Young Bucks and FTR back in the spring. Very likely politics played into that not happening and now he just isn't sure what to do with them now that The Acclaimed are the most over act in the company. So I think it probably started out as politics I doubt it is now though. Either way whether it is politics or just not having a program for them, need to do more.

 

[ckg927]

I wonder if they will also debut a new stage.

They MIGHT. Recall that AEW has experimented a bit with different stage setups(the first time Dynamite was in Los Angeles, as well as when Blood and Guts was in Detroit).

I think it is mostly incompetence due to lack of experience... and yes being influenced by people looking out only for themselves.

It’s pretty stupid of them if that’s their game. It’s well known the Jacksons were instrumental in AEW existing. If AEW lasts they’ll forever be known as important creators of this entity that has succeeded. With this kind of sentiment out there that they are hindering what’s best for business, and this thing flounders even for other reasons, they’ll forever be tied to the failure and possibly even unfairly credited with more blame than deserved.

This kind of reminds me of my Canucks’ delusional owner. He’s the head of hockey operations for all intents and purposes, and we have no hope for any future success until he’s dead. If only he realized that were he to get out of the way and let smart people actually build a winner, we will build him an effing statue. Instead he wants to be in on everything and have all final say and now the narrative is he’s a meddler on a team forever in purgatory.
