I purchased Forbidden Door and Hamilton Dynamite/Rampage tickets this week. Two four hour or longer events in four days should be fun. They will be my fourth and fifth AEW shows and all will have occurred over a ten month span. Even the Dark tapings have generally been entertaining and time flies during the events.

They will have to work harder to sell the Hamilton show however one section was priced at $48 and only has a few tickets left so I wouldn't be surprised to see price cuts and 2 for 1 sales between now and June 28.

Tbh like AEW but shits hard to follow.

Acclaimed were/are hot but the titles taken off them for the Gunns who suck. Dont get the FTR storyline. Theyre either winning or losing and taking time off or signing elsewhere. BCC and Outcasts both suck ass. Mox went from a champ to aimlessly attacking people. Idk whats going on with Hangman, Bucks, and Omega. None of the guys challenging MJF should be a champ.

No fluid stories or consistency. Giving Rampage another hour and starting sooner would help alot. Instead Rampage just seems like a throwaway show.

Not going to lie I completely disagree with like a solid 90% of your post here lol I think the only thing I do agree with is that the Outcasts suck oh and Rampage at a different time slot. Everything else ehhhh

He is right about some of the booking.

It is really disjointed at times. I guess we need to be patient and let things play out, but some decisions are weird/seem like hot shotting.

I mean the Mox stuff is completely wrong, he has had a direction the entire time. This is all a continuation of the Hangman/Mox feud. Like it really isn't difficult to follow at all. The Elite stuff....you aren't supposed to know exactly what is going to happen seeing as they just kind of started with that last week. As for the Gunns I don't give a f*** what anyone else says, they are great. The whole 4 pillar thing....needs time. If they are planning on that as the title match for DoN? Doesn't do much for me. That should be a main event of a massive Dynamite. I just don't think things are nearly as bad as a lot of people want to make it out to be. Like yes, Tony makes dumb decisions and I don't agree with everything he does but to say it is hard to follow or is disjointed? Nah you lose me there. End of the day(to me) the good outweighs the bad by a pretty considerable margin. Same as the bad outweighs the good to me in WWE.

What AEW has over WWE right now is the number of fun matches you can watch in a given week.

WWE pretty much has formuliac meaningless matches on its TV shows.

Storywise, the Bloodline story trumps everything, but AEW generally has the most compelling stuff.

However, SOME of the booking makes very little sense. Wardlow's arc has been piss poor... at best. The Mox/Hangman story makes sense, but it was not very compelling. BBC turning heel and an Elite reunion being teased certainly makes it more interesting to me. The Callis stuff, I do not care about though.

The 4 pillars stuff was a great promo, I wonder how they follow it up. I agree with you though, it should not be a PPV match.

The Acclaimed/Gunns stuff is garbage. I love both teams, I really do, but the story around Billy was not very interesting. The Gunns vs FTR stuff, meh. I am willing to give it a chance as the match(es) should be very good, but the story so far, meh.

At the end of the day, I do agree with your overall premise though. The good tends to outweigh the bad and the show is generally entertaining.

Moxley went from deathmatches, to NXT, to the Shield, to joke Ambrose, to AEW Moxley, to deathmatch Moxley, now back to the Shield.

Same here. I'm pretty happy with AEW (well, dynamite anyways) overall... but the outcasts are bad and rampage sucks

Yeah I agree with some of the criticisms. Mainly around the booking. It would be nice if Tony had a strong wrestling mind or two to help him with the booking overall. The vibe that he wants to be friends with the boys needs to go.

You need a guy to catch them. I went to a show and saw Vikingo vs. Black Taurus vs. Bandido. The stuff they did in that match was so dangerous I feel like I might never see it again.
Ill be seeing Komander next month

I don't think the storyline quality is all that different between both companies.

Putting The Bloodline stuff aside as that's a unique beast, both have some compelling stuff and both have some head scratching blah stuff. There is talent being used great and talent you can claim is being misused.

I feel like preference comes down more to how much you like individual stars and what kind of wrestling style you prefer.

Meltzer saying Miro refused more creative from Tony. He was supposedly offered a spot in the battle royale on the grand slam dynamite which Hangman won and has lead to the Hangman-Moxley feud. Hangman and Miro would have been last two and Hangman would still go over and Miro refused. I love Miro but man I can't exactly blame TK for washing his hands of it for now. Miro still has 3 years on his contract too.

Why is Miro being so difficult? He got hurt that bad in WWE that he is being difficult over anything he doesn’t like?

He probably thought he would have complete creative freedom. Or maybe he is just happy to take the money and not work for it.


He has been a disappointment for a while now, I had high hopes, so much potential left to waste, whether it was the companies fault or his own. Has a great look, a good personality and charisma, seems to have everything you could want, but it just hasn't turned out for whatever reason

Miro had his gimmick. He had his struggle with his God. Now they want to give him something new? I don't blame the guy for saying no. He was Sami levels over with his Rusev Day gimmick, then Vince changed it. He's seen this happen already and probably doesn't want it to happen again.

Love me some Miro, but he wasn’t on the level that he should just be catapulted to the top after the Best Man schtick. It was gonna take some high profile upper mid card bouts to get him up there. If he didn’t wanna play runner up in the contenders Royale, that’s on him
