  1. AEW is so funny to me. I was a legit fan of ROH in the Sinclair era…I even liked the bucks ffs 🤷‍♂️… now I turn on Collision and wish it was half as entertaining as the old ROH show used to be. Where the fak is Dalton Castle!? Bring in Enzo he was fire!? Do something other than the third rate TNA impression they are doing right now.

  2. I got quite a lot of pushback on the AEW subreddit a while ago when I suggested the show would overall be better if they had more, shorter matches on TV and saved the "big matches" for the pay per views – you know, the way TV wrestling has worked for the past 40 years.

    Pretty soon NXTNA is going to be the number two American promotion with the way things have been going

    Also, if you're someone with some kind of potential in AEW, like Hobbs or something, how the hell could you decide to resign with AEW instead of TNA or WWE when your contract comes up?

  3. AEW is just meaningless gymnastics. The individual moves can look mighty impressive but there's fuck all under the hood. I get the feeling that Tony is the kind of guy that would create a wrestler on a game that's built like Lesnar but has the move set of Mysterio because it looks cool and nothing more.

  4. I was very hyped when AEW first came to Winnipeg back in 2023. The second time around they came here, I didn't bother to go. They need to stick to a consistent storyline! Wtf! I love Jericho but dammit its time to pass the torch!

  5. Was AEW ever really that good, or was WWE that bad that at the time, we needed that alternative? Just some food for thought. For me, the company died a slow death after the first Wembley All In.

  6. The match with Jericho and Dax Hardwood was the worst match I've ever seen in a long time. Jericho just can't work anymore and Dax wasn't trying to work with him but he just couldn't. Jericho is so lazy and slow at times i thought my tv was playing the show in slow motion.

  7. It's crazy how this guy constantly rags on Tony Khan, but he was in the same predicament in every promotion. He's ever been in. That's why he's not in the business. Still like if he was in the business still, you wouldn't have a podcast like he does now

  8. Ok enough already aew is nowhere near as bad as wcw was or even tna aew is a pretty damn good show and i am grateful to have it bc we get dream matches and wwe not having a monopoly on wrestling just stop trolling them and find something better to do with your lame lives

  9. Dave is the dumbest person to get famous in any genre.

    If they did get a new booker, who's the greatest of all time, it would still take probably at least a year for them to get anywhere. Look at their roster, and think how you'd fix it. Even tho I believe the roster is good, he's put them so far behind the 8 ball

  10. You could argue that Jericho and Edge are world class but both were cut loose from WWE because they were well past their sell by dates. AEW is rotten to the core and it’s going to take a long time to get to a half decent wrestling company

  11. Tony Khan is like the late Herb Abrams but with a great financial backing. AeW needs someone else doing the booking and handling of the talent. How come they haven't gotten ahold of Scott D Amore??!!!
