More like a post for the Dave Meltzer is full of shit thread :rofl:

Maybe it's true, stranger things have happened at sea.

All In was ok

4.5/10

will miss this place

I have to admit it, guys — All In was absolutely brilliant. AEW are going to be eating well. They’re back. Feeling restored. World changed.

I’m trying to do one of my posts where I sarcastically go through the show and put a spin on how bad it was, but I literally can’t even remember how the show opened. Oh well, I tried.

Thanks Nerf

I don't think that was a good enough bit to post Nerf

It would be so cliched to have the ace of the company be someone that has its best interests at heart. Cool new idea to have the belt won by someone who tried to sabotage the single biggest star the promotion has ever had.

Very excited that they’re going to give Edge & Christian a babyface run. At the end of the day they can put over a young heel team like The Hurt Syndicate, FTR or The Young Bucks.

I wish people would stop saying Mercedes Mone has creative control. No one with creative control would drop a fall for political reasons.

On an unrelated note, how cool was it seeing WWE use footage of Hogan/Goldberg from Nitro this past weekend?

If Hangman Page had won the belt in short order, would Darby Allin have repelled from the ceiling just to say hi?

Casino Gauntlets are such a fresh idea. An idea for Tony next month when they do one: Have the guys fight to get into the ring. I saw something like it in TNA once. They did it under Battle Royal rules though. This one is just pinfall or submission so it’s good.

Here’s a poll:

Was Omega/Okada the best match ever?

Yes.
It wasn’t quite as good as the last Omega/Okada.

Nice to know Dustin Rhodes is so appreciated by AEW. I don’t think it matters he only made the main card once Adam Cole was pulled.

So now Alvarez and Meltzer are spreading the rumor that The Hurt Syndicate are like Aleister Black and Rusev and don’t want to job.

Ok. Never mind that they are about the only guys that seem to improve ratings a little bit and some of the only guys with credibility…actually, do mind that. But this narrative that guys coming in for a lot of money and wanting to protect their image in association with that is somehow unprofessional needs to stop.

Creative freedom is all well and good until you don’t want to look like an asshole losing matches while you’re the tag champs to guys who can’t compare, I guess. They never aim this rumor as criticism of the promoter/booker. Who gave them that power or lets this alleged behavior go on? I guess it’s magic contracts The Hurt Synidcate woke up with. It’s very clear just The Young Bucks and associates being jealous of their cred and still bitter the World’s Greatest Tag Team got picked over them in the ROH days.

Alvarez also said that Lashley & Shelton want to go back to WWE. Well, no shit. But it’s interesting that’s being spread. It makes me hopeful that their deals aren’t long-term. If they were truly in AEW for a long haul and were mad at Triple H, why would the narrative to crush them be their hopeful return?

Lol, Dave Meltzer made a tweet about WWE being sold out for Houston. He then had to add it’s an interesting race between WWE, UFC, CMLL and AEW for “Promotion of the Year.”

How the actual fuck would anyone with any sense put AEW in the running for promotion of the year?

That is kind of a bullshit story assumption Alvarez and Meltzer came to a conclusion on to feed their constant shilling for AEW.

The actual story is they, and more specifically MVP, are not willing to do jobs for whatever non star Tony thinks is amazing. Which is logical, it is absurd to even have Lashley or Shelton bump for Speedball or Gravity or whatever other goofball they have been booked with.

So because they do not want to let Tony Khan book them as badly as he does everybody else, Alvarez says they wont lose because they want to go back to WWE.

They’re pros, so they don’t belong in AEW.

haven't watched any rasslin in a while but i caught some of dynamite recently and brodie king is real good at rasslin and whatnot
