Jericho needs to lay off the carbs.
All Elite Wrestling is confirmed thread
- Thread starter FrankieNYC

Well, that was interesting.
I love this show, man. So much
These guys are killing it!
And they're not doing anything new, they're just doing great pro wrestling.

But would you say, “too pro wrestling”?
Vince McMahon Reportedly Thinks Some WWE Stars Are ‘Too Pro Wrestling’
Examples?
1) They haven't formatted it correctly for network TV. it's being carried on TSN here and there were matches where they'd run a fill commercial break on a 66/33 split screen.
2) the women's match was beyond dog shit, and I don't say that as someone who hates women's wrestling. The skill level was abysmal.
3) the ending was unnecessarily confusing and illogical. Dude in the suit with the chair didn't play any relevant part at all, and they created the absolutely perfect scenario to create a new faction to mix it up with the inner circle and instead just had a bunch of guys stand around looking somewhat confused.
4) the Neville/omega/moxley thing didn't make any sense at all.
I am down to try to fill in some holes. I partly agree and disagree with you on the split screen. I like it in terms of still seeing what happens during the break. Though sometimes they tend to do some high spots during that time. Last week they had Rose do a second rope jump whole Riho was draped across the middle rope. In the split screen, thought that was poorly timed.
The women’s division is a rather good division overall, not sure what happened there. I phased in and out, usually a lot better than that. If I had to theorize, a lot of them are not used to tag team formats, due to the singles matches being fun to great.
Your third point is something is entirely valid, and admittedly they do a poor job explaining if you don’t follow Being the Elite, or these wrestlers in general.
Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, The Young Bucks and Cody are already a faction, The Elite, with Dustin being an honorary member. However they don’t get that across very well to new viewers. A complaint I had, as someone who barely watches Being the Elite until recently, is they don’t promote viewing it a whole lot. One of those things they could possibly be taking for granted? Not sure. Darby Allin coming out was to set up the match for next week, also had a fun time limit draw with Cody. A nice little alignment showcase.
Mox vs Omega has a few intersecting storylines.
-Mox debuted at DoN attacking Jericho and Kenny after their match. Which lead to a brawl between Omega and Moxley, which Moxley threw Omega off a giant stack of poker chips. Twas awesome.
-Mox later attacked Moxley after his match with Joey Janela. A comeuppance of sorts.
-They were scheduled to face each other at All Out until Moxley suffered an elbow infection, unable to compete. Replaced by PAC, who won the match with a Rings of Saturn, that made Omega pass out.
-Last week Moxley continued the attack by pulling Omega out of the six man tag, putting him through a glass table with the Paradigm Shift (elevated Dirty Deeds)
-PAC currently wants his title shot since he has a 2-0 record I believe, up there with Cody’s singles record.
-The little stand off might have also been a show of alignments. Since PAC is a bastard heel, Omega is the face, then Moxley not taking advantage was a rather tweener move. He wants to bring the violence, but doesn’t want to be the “middle man” to violence.
I hope that helped a tad bit. But valid issues for sure. They may need to recap some things a bit more clearly for when people tune in.
I was aware of the Elite, but didn't know they were still a group, and the announcers didn't bother to tell anyone nor did the faction look like any sort of cohesive unit.
The Moxley/PAC/Omega thing again was confusing. It looked more like Omega was trying to get Mox to join him rather than fight him.
The Elite is more or less Omega and the Bucks with Page and Cody almost being honorary members. That might explain their lack of cohesion. I'm sure that will change with the new formation of the Inner Circle.
I think they're issues are trying to balance between catching new viewers up without over explaining to those who have been following for awhile.
I love what they're doing. Two hour show but if you want more content it's on YouTube for viewing pleasure.

@JonJonesBeard 16:35 mark. I can see where you get that idea they were teaming up now without any context of the rivalry.
- The Librarian Peter Avalon vs Kip Sabian vs Sonny Kiss
- SCU & CIMA vs Dark Order & The Hybrid 2
- Undesirable to Undeniable with Cody Rhodes & Aubrey Edwards
- Kenny Omega vs Joey Janela (Lights out match)
I like the opening quite a bit. Curious why the switch happened with SCU, unless Best Friends are going through
The finisher was absolute trash.
Match was great up until that, slightly worried that they showed it in the replay at the same angle.
Well guess not sure what angle thatd look good at.
I sure hope I miss a walkout for a Dr Ho's commercial!
