MONDAY NIGHT WARS BACK IN EFFECT WWE v TNA v AEW aka The Pro Wrestling Thread
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Extremely good. Top tier worker!
From my understanding Skye Blue came up with this sequence that Jade repeated with KAIRI yesterday at Backlash. Props!
I'm next!
This Backlash hit different in a good way. The crowd alone was the best I have seen in along time. Matches didn't drag on for no reason, no thrown together matches just to have extra matches. Truth I would take 5 or 6 good matches on a none WM or SS PPV over 9 to 11 matches half of which mean nothing any day.
Yep, When I saw this clip on Twitter on Sat, I remember that Jade did this move before when she was at AEW!!...I didn't remember who was the wrestler she done it too but I know she done this move before when she was at AEW.. Props to Sky Blue!!..

Cool...I might have to check some of his matches out on Youtube or something!!...Maybe he will wrestle at Forbidden Door this year!!..
I want someone who is not AEW (or WWE) affiliated to sit down with him for an interview and ask what he's think for real. Like not in Tony Kahn character mode, but as the real promoter of the company. I know he's said in the past that he's going for that old school east coast wrestling vibe. But you can't say that and do a half-ass job emulating main event WWE. If you're going to take on WWE it should just be at the NXT level. Smaller roster, smaller arena or studio.
Although AEW is on TNT/TBS and gets a lot of comparisons to old WCW, I remember reading that TK was a huge ECW fan. I wish he tried emulating and capturing the old ECW feel instead of trying to do WWE lite.
There is a place for the smaller venue and crowd participation experience ECW offered back in the day, but AEW seems to be caught in the middle of trying to appeal to those fans while trying to all be big time, doing shows in big venues that don't sell out.
You can't have it both ways. Some of the best ECW shows took place in the Elks Lodge on Queens Blvd or in the Hammerstein Ballroom. Small ass venues but ridiculous atmosphere.
AEW should have tried to emulate this instead of trying to go head-to-head with WWE.
I think the WWE lite approach stems from the former main event WWE guys he has on payroll. They're all used to how Vince did things and are probably in Tony's ear about going the same route.
I'd figure JD Mcdonagh would be the one that costs him the title since he the one member who gets the most ass-whippings
As for Rhea wonder when she going to start picking up on what Liv trying to do with Dominik(should they start trying to run with that)
Would be funny if other people start to pick up on it as well( like R-Truth & Miz,Becky Lynch and even Pat Mcafee
)
I loved Damien physically stopping the post match beatdown. I see Judgement Day turning on him and/or costing him the title somewhere down the line.
Hopefully Balor wins MitB in July so that they can teasing him cashing in on Damien and just adding to the in-group tension.
I agree with the overall sentiment in here about the Usos. I want success for both brothers, at this point the best thing about them is the presentation during their entrances. Neither Uso seems comfortable in single matches nor do they have the arsenal to carry an entire match.
I'm starring to figure out the CaC dilemma during Jey's entrance. They all know that they're supposed to waive when his music starts. So they jump in super enthusiastically with the arm waves. The problem is at no point do they look left or right to get into a waving rhythm with their neighbors. So it just looks like thousands of people dancing and waving to different songs
French CaC were especially enthusiastic to start waving and thus WAY OFF rhythm.

Yeah, he's still recovering from the stroke and honestly even before that he was a shell of what he used to be on commentary.
I don't think he's been the same since the heart attack he had on the air.
Knowing Jerry though he's gonna try and have one last match in some indy promotion.
He really just needs to sit down, relax and get healthy again.
Mayu blew it. She's gonna be having nightmares about this all week because she's a huge baseball fan and she practices throwing all the time. She even works it into her wrestling entrance routine all for this to happen.

Great moment in wrestling history. Too bad Kerry's lifestyle got the best of him. He needed some real guidance in his life and never really received it from his father.
I worked with a lady who was an employee at a Dallas pharmacy back in the 80s and she told me Kerry would call in his orders always slurring his words and under the influence.
Damn shame because Kerry had the look and while his in-ring wasn't the greatest, he was an attraction.
I need to see this version of Dakota in WWE

It's sad what had happened to the Von Erich Family as a whole!!...
I think i watched this on ESPN back in the day.
