I highly doubt that they were intended to be viewed as house shows given the effort put forward. In fact, my criticism rests entirely on your wording, "Blow their load..."

I felt that there was entirely too many matches where guys were blowing their loads and too many high spot kick outs and too many matches essentially being the same style of match with very little selling.

Outside of matches involving Cody, Jericho & Moxley; everybody else seems to be striving for The Young Bucks match where there are way too many hurricanrana's and tornado DDT's and high spots that lead to meaningless 2 counts.

I watched the entirety of the shows. It is not just the Young Bucks. There were moves that were used to obliterate an opponent yet the same opponent kicks out easily. This happened way too often.

I feel AEW needs more of this variation because a lot of it just feels like more of the same.
