Here's a secret: didn't love Suzuki vs Danielson.
I LOVE Danielson and have liked all his other AEW matches I've seen. Just think the "standing and waiting to get hit" spots are fucking moronic and that was most of the match. Can deal with them in short spurts but when the whole thing is "we're tough men who like getting hit," it's dumb.
That said, I'd watch AEW a million times over WWE. For all the indy bollocks that I don't care for, at least they're trying to make something fun. Really don't like the audience though. There's something very deflating about looking out into the crowd and seeing no diversity. All the same sort of people you'd see at a wrestle-con and nothing else. They need to broaden their appeal beyond "we're the super indies."
