Damn they really took Sasha’s WM32 theme performance and made it her official theme song? Why? That shit sucked. Should’ve just kept it as it was.

Snoop did hers

I know that. They had the dude and lady that did the original version do a live performance of it along with a little snippet from Snoop. I’m saying they took that performance and basically made that her official theme song which makes me scratch my head because it sucked.

Maga…

Orton has just shifted to that kane/mark henry

It’s fascinating that people still give a shit about that stuff just so they can attempt to relive the yesteryears and to make arguments about why x company sucks and why z company is better.

Not trying to egg on the “brand war” but people also aren’t thinking about how often raw and sd! Plug nxt. Nxt won survivor series…etc…

I have never seen an advertisement for aew outside of a plug on adult swim for that Rick and morty themed episode of dynamite

Eh…I kinda care that AEW be healthy and not get canceled. Right now NWA Powerrrr is close to getting as many views as AEW.

That aint a great look.

I’ve seen ads for AEW. I’ve their commercial on YouTube and in theaters. Their marketing ain’t a problem.

I don’t think aew is at fault. I think all the weeks Goin into ss was just dumb strong for nxt. Like you had 2 other brands Goin on there and you didn’t know who was Goin to show up or what matches might go down. I don’t think nxt will hold that strong a lead all month. But obviously Vince wanted to make nxt look strong at ss for this exact thing. New eyes, new unknown match ups. Vince is a evil dick but he knows buisness

There’s that which is important, but NXT is consistently putting out banger ass matches and storylines. Taking it as “well they did the women’s wargame and then things will peter out” would be a bad look for AEW.

So the question is: Why doesn’t AEW have programming that can compete with that?

Simple answer. They are new and learning as they go. They have some vet support but not a huge amount or experience. Luckily they have the money to flub a bit. I don’t expect it to drop a crazy amount especially as nxt cools a bit from ss high. Nxt was putting bangers on even before ss but aew was beating them. The raw smackdown assist was pretty clear to me why they’ve won in the past 2 weeks

I m probably overlooking something here but hasn’t aew pretty much done most of potentially interesting feuds/matches? I meant short of buck vs buck,which I don’t think anyone wants to see(superkick,superkick superkick superkick scoop slam bad back sell superkick superkick bad leg sell)
Mjf didn’t need to join an imo overbloated stable.
We’ve seen moxley vs an in better shape and younger Jericho in “hardcore match” in wwe.
Pac is where he needs to be.
I still don’t know who TF that was that came through the ring and beat up Cody. Neither did JR. That’s a huge fuckup if half your announce team(schivone wasn’t there) doesnt know who they are while Excalibur is marking out and stumbling as an announcer.
I m still undecided on how I feel about Excalibur as an announcer in general.
#joindarkorder vignettes are pretty entertaining.
Marty Scurl needs to get there asap and be revealed as the real leader of the dark order.
Hangman will probably end up in dark order seeing how he’s basically a jobber who quit the elite because he’s a jobber.

Women’s division is a snoozefest to me .

Women’s division need surgery but that seems to be a struggle in prowrestling in general. The talent is there but women aren’t the ones bringing in new viewers. But they are important. Nxts women’s division is God tier. Impact has a great division though no one will admit it. And wwe is OK. Aew needs to get to at least OK level

Oh I guess I was confused by that epic promo and them hugging before Cody came out. :man_shrugging:

Rephrase. Mjf didn’t need to start another heel stable/alliance.

Lol aew having more stables is OK as long as they keep adding the talent. Atm we have at least 4 stables 3 face 1 heel. I guess 5 if you count luchasaurus and people.
