Bayley's laugh is so annoying.
I couldnt stand her as a face, she's a great heel. So much better with her promos.

Any idea what its about?The white rabbit stuff has been done well.its got people talking (although not reflected in raw ratings though we will see if it does for smackdown)
Yeah seen plenty of people interested in and talking about it so thats good for them.The white rabbit stuff has been done well.its got people talking (although not reflected in raw ratings though we will see if it does for smackdown)
theyve thrown different clues. Most think its wyatt. There have been clues that it could be kross (but hes already there on SD). And Demon balor makes no sense as hes in judgment day.Any idea what its about?
The gimmick started of great but his matches were just so so bad. It ruined a lot of 'face' characters like Rollins.The Fiend was godawful.
I think it improved for a few weeks, although partly just down to the pops and excitement around people returning.I'd say its slightly improved and we've certainly got fresh blood on the main roster... But its guys I wasnt interested in before in NXT so I'm not interested in them on the main either.
Its mostly just the honeymoon period, its Trips instead of same old Vince so he's getting a pass.
Hope it's not Wyatt. Really can't be bothered with him coming back. The Fiend was godawful.
Wyatt was consistently one of the best things going when he was in WWE. He's one of the best talkers around, and while he's no Omega or Styles he can go well enough in the ring, and his imagination and character work kept things interesting when WWE was at its most monotonous.I'm one of the few that really liked the fiend
Felt the character suffered from shit writing/creative and had legs to grow.
The problem is it killed everyone he worked with. He would no sell their offense and then go over. Everyone that worked with him went on a downward slide. We had babyfaces crying in fear at him. Who wants to cheer for that guy? Seth had to turn heel. Oh and that awful red lighting meant you could hardly see any of the match.I'm one of the few that really liked the fiend

Of course thats a problem in the gimmick and Vince should have seen that it was a problem. When he was released the leak was that he was hard to work with creatively so perhaps he wouldnt go along with what they wanted as well.
At least with Roman he doesnt no sell his opponent's offence and nobody is peeing their pants at being confronted by him. He beats everyone but they can still move forward after
Missed this before but totally see that happening. Bryan usually gets a title reign after cm punk goes. And then it's a short reign. Would prefer they build to it with Bryan getting some wins in between whilst mjf does a few matches with mox and winsThere's an interview with Tony where he pretty much confirms that MJF can cash his chip any time (like MITB I assume) which now makes it look pretty obvious that he'll be walking out of Grand Slam with the title unless they throw a curve ball. Feels a bit lame tbh so I hope not. Really wanted to see Bryan have a run with it.
I hope to God they dont so this. It would come off as so WWE lite it could hurt the show.There's an interview with Tony where he pretty much confirms that MJF can cash his chip any time (like MITB I assume) which now makes it look pretty obvious that he'll be walking out of Grand Slam with the title unless they throw a curve ball.

Feast or firedI hope to God they dont so this. It would come off as so WWE lite it could hurt the show.
It’s like when TNA had their version with suitcases and all. Feast or famine or something?
I quite liked TNAs option C with the x division championship. Think that would work in AEW.I hope to God they dont so this. It would come off as so WWE lite it could hurt the show.

I was never bothered about Paige even when she did wrestle to be honest.I don't want to see Paige wrestle.
He is good, but Cena was and still is, the best on the mic.MJF is the best thing in AEW. Probably the best mic skills I've seen since the Rock.
Undertaker didnt go over everyone and he didnt no sell everything. He just won at Mania and considering his length of career he wasnt always with or going for the title and a lot of his big matches were with tall not great guys as a spectacle for mania. He would overcome other "monsters" getting a push with some squash matches to make them look like they'd maybe have a chance.You know damn well thats bollocks.
Undertaker, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, the demon all worked. The OP gimmick can work if done properly.
She'll be retired again within the year.I don't want to see Paige wrestle.
Hopefully that's all.She'll be retired again within the year.
Each to their own, but in my mind that's a ridiculous take. Cena is capable of greatness on the mic, but spent years phoning it in and "fine speech"-ing all of his opponents, only once he stopped being super Cena was he consistently super on the mic.He is good, but Cena was and still is, the best on the mic.
I think you're being harsh on the tag match - the boombox false finish was great as it looked like that could have been The Acclaimed's shot and they blew it. Then the actual ending came along and the place erupted. Not quite as good as their previous match (which was as good as it gets), but still well done and it's a brilliant story with the home grown tag team slowly rising to the top.Dynamite was great. But they over did the endings for the first three matches.
Jericho/Claudio was fantastic and the cheating made sense. And its the perfect champ to have for an eventual ROH tv deal.
The tag match was decent but should have ended after the boombox shot.Not sure what happened after that as it all got sloppy, and Daddy ass getting involved wasnt needed.
The third match was decent, but again, ended with some cheating. Which I guess was to show OC is on Pacs level, but again, third match in a row.
Womens match was decent and a good showing for all. Saraya is a great get as shes a great talker and if she can go, then she will do well. Hopefully its limited to make it special.
The main event was good and im glad there was no 'cash in'. Looks like Mox is being rewarded for cutting his holiday after a day to carry the main event scene. MJF beating Mox for the title will be good.
Overall a really good show.
I dunno, it looked a little sloppy, and then Billy Gunn getting involved too which made it another match with a screwy finish (three in a row). False finish would have been fine but the ending just didnt flow for me.I think you're being harsh on the tag match - the boombox false finish was great as it looked like that could have been The Acclaimed's shot and they blew it.

What makes you think it was fake? Seemed pretty real given the shot of the crowd going mental, and videos from people who were there.What's with the ultra fake crowd noise for Paige?
I didn't over see a crowd going mental to be fair... but I guess I live in a different age and need to move on from that. But there's no way the actually broadcast crowd aligns with crowd shots - for me at least, the videos from phones aren't that loud.What makes you think it was fake?

Each to their own, to me it's clearly the crowd reaction in the video, a similar level to when the acclaimed won earlier in the night.I didn't over see a crowd going mental to be fair... but I guess I live in a different age and need to move on from that.

Paige (Saraya) Debuts at AEW Grand Slam Crowd Reaction - YouTube
I don't know, maybe it's now common for them to use some sound altering mics or whatever. But that sounds like a pretty routine crowd to me. I don't it much, it just sounded very unnatural to me, and that video above confirms it.
