stl4life07 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Deadpulse said: I think people need to remember that a lot of AEW's top stars arent the future. Christian, Sting, Jericho, Matt Hardy, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, CM Punk, Brian Danielson (if he comes) are all on their final years. Jericho might move out of the ring in the next few weeks here honestly. They are building something off the back of established stars that will be carried by their future stars like Miro, Hangman, Jungle Boy, MJF, Black, etc. Plus AEW loves to do factions so that helps everyone. WWE hate factions which is weird because during the attitude era their factions made them so great. DX, The Nation, The Brood, etc... AEW having Death Triangle, Pinnacle, The Elite, Inner Circle, Best Friends, etc... It helps to better use a roster full of great talent.

When WWE has them they are usually the source of their most memorable storylines. Nexus, SHIELD, Evolution (who doesnt remember Batista's thumbs down?). Hell Undisputed Era WAS NXT for a long time. New Day is there most consistent and act and one of the members is on a different show! Roman is their biggest act by FAR and he has "the bloodline" behind him. I honestly dont understand their aversion. To add to your point on AEW, the rumored trios division will help utilize more talent as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texansfan713 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Retribution had potential at first when they had a ton of masked people wrecking havoc. once the number of people got smaller i knew it would be a fail especially with Ali leading the group.

Ali was the only good thing about it IMO I like Dijakovic a lot though, I hope he can battle back to singles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Three Man Band was supposed to be good and only became bad because of injuries. At least go the route of ECW when they legit used to use the Blue Meanie to do parodies. At least then I’ll know bad factions were intentionally had. I wouldn’t mind if the WWE did a parody faction poking fun at the Inner Circle v the Pinnacle 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgbeethree Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So as much as I like the idea of CM Punk and DB in AEW. I'm giddy at the thought of Adam Cole there. Can't really explain why but he's my biggest wrestler "crush" since the Outsiders. I love me some Sammy and MJF but he's just solid gold. HBK but more likable IRL for the new generation. I really hope they find a way for him and Adam Page to team up and then fued or vice versa. It's been at least a decade and more like two but damn I'm excited and maybe even more importantly not embarrassed to be excited about wrestling again.

Livewire Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I had my expectations high for Dragonov vs WALTER after their first battle but they exceeded it. I marked big time seeing WALTER tap out. Wish it was in front of a big crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the tag matches were good. Edge v Rollins was incredible. i'm sure the main events were bangers but the belair stuff was as bad as fiend v goldberg. it'd have ruined the card for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainmaker90 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Ricochet used to be one of the coolest wrestlers out there. Just got choked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
