Thats just sad.

These AEW shows are way too fucking long.

I'll give a company a pass 4 times a year for a big show going 4+ hours. But everything in between should be a MAX of 3.

This shit is already at 4 hours since the preshow started and there are like 4 more matches or some bullshit.

indeed. 10:21 EST and we still have Takeshita v. Ricochet, Swerve v. Lashley and Mox v. Cassidy. Like UFC shows, AEW is a long night

Yup. He was a salesman. I actually was on a plane that had a documentary about QT when he was on indies. Would time his sales drives in the northeast with shows he could work on the weekend. Respect the hustle.

Frankly, knowing that gives me a new found respect for him. As someone who's been raped many times by the Snap-On truck, those dudes get after it.

Went to bed before the Ricochet match... PPV was just too damned long.

Caught up this morning...

That finish to the show was some 2000 WCW level overbooking.

I forgot this was last night. Looks like there's no point & going back & watching anything besides Mina Shirakawa.

Ricochet with the time honored tradition! I have to applaud all these clean finishes
I was surprised as well at all the clean wins. Most controversial ending was QT getting speared by the Costco kid.

Some matches were pretty good... but the angles just blow dick.

MJF/Strong was good
Sasha/Statlander was good
Ospreay/Fletcher was good
Ricochet/Takeshita was good

But this is EVERY AEW PPV... some great matches thrown together with no real long term stories.

I rewatched a couple matches yesterday. Fletcher and Ospreay are both lucky they didn’t break their necks on a couple spots.

The Costco guy broke his foot mid match and still finished with a strong W.

Punk and Cole could learn about work ethic from this grizzled young veteran.

Damn... just checked out Raw and it appears they have roughly 3x the crowd that Full Gear had.

WWE is on fire.

They just pulled the same thing they did with UFC, with wrestlers no longer being able to get comp tix for family/friends "due to demand" and the fact that the shows are such hot tix...of course some talent just see it as greed, which may be valid.

But still, can't even make that excuse if you aren't selling out regularly.

Yeah.... that arena is packed.

Meanwhile AEW is having to change venues in Australia due to lack of demand.

TK just pulled all AEW talent, most notably Ricky Starks, from GCW shows. Something to do with comments one of the GCW guys made about AEW working the Hammerstein Ballroom shows and GCW handing out fliers for their event at the same venue???

Yeah, apparently Effy said some stuff about the Khans, and everybody is talking about, but nobody will quote what he said and I'm already bored.

Kamille will be the new Wardlow. Another talent Khan doesn't know what to do with. Unbelievable.
