The opening promo from Adam Copeland on this week’s #AEWDynamite was weird and felt forced. Him doing a pump up speech about how great/fun #AEW is after Punk’s recent comments just felt minor league. Then later on the same show they book an all-time awful match where Jay White gets beat up by Billy Gunn of all people for like 15 minutes straight then it ends in a DQ. Jay White’s run in AEW has been absolutely criminal.
@timbowman I couldn't agree more...and their show hasn't been exactly "must-see TV" lately. Like I don't want blood for the sake of blood, make it mean something. Make it mean someone is getting their ass whooped. Having Texas deathmatches on weekly TV doesn't really make much sense....😬🤦♂️
I really want them to be and do good. They're just having a hard time understanding what Professional Wrestling is all about.
There's no super good "must-see" storylines. The Christian Cage/Copeland angle was good and the Swerve storyline is 🆗 but nothing is like Cody/Rock and Roman right now.
@BeAware yeah AEW as a whole needs to get focused and just build the company back up in the next 6-12 months. They can never compete with WWE, especially now, so they need to figure out their own thing and capture more of an audience again.
@timbowman more of their own audience. But yeah. I totally agree.
They seemingly made a good move this week by releasing 10 wrestlers that I've barely even heard of. But then they agreed to re-hire one...or some. Tony Khan is just to "nice" to be the CEO of a major corporation.
