Drew McIntyre is next! Goldberg has 2 matches a year this year and next. So 4 matches on his contract and I suppose he retires after that.

Have you been watching Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing on AEW? He’s been on every week for about the last 4-5!

Did you see their tribute to Brodie Lee/Luke Harper? Eric Rowan/Redbeard, his former “Bludgeon Brother”, even made a surprise appearance.

Did you notice that Big E’s armband had “Brodie Lee” on it?

As a good dad and husband that you are, you’d probably appreciate how Brodie/Luke was remembered. They never stopped praising him for the great dad and husband he was. His family was there and his oldest son, “Brodie, Jr.” (8 years old) even decided on who would be on one side of the headline tag match based on his favorite wrestlers. He was presented in the ring with a special championship belt that he could keep for life. I bet @Brick Tamland would have appreciated this. I’ve never seen a tribute quite like this!

I definitely enjoy the old stars of sting. I’m gonna have to pay more attention to Brodie I saw pics recently of him and his son they where super cute!

Another great AEW show last night, especially the title match with Omega and Fenix. Then seeing Gallows and Anderson from Impact come in to help Omega beat down Moxley, and the Young Bucks come out to reform the Bullet Club was awesome and a big shock. I love what they are doing with the crossover with Impact.

Bullet Club? Oh wow, I can't wait to see! I wonder if that means WWE's Finn Balor is going to come to AEW. You can't talk about Bullet Club without also including Finn Balor, THE starter of it in Japan (then known as "Prince Devitt").

Well, they aren't calling it the Bullet Club, but they were all in the group in NJPW, and they did the hand signal together.
 
AEW. Saw Tully freaking Blanchard wrestle. Hadnt seen him since 1986. He was wrestling with 2 others in a 3 on 3 brawl. JJ Dillon (formerly of NWA) was their manager. Someone from the crowd came in and interferred in the match causing Tully's team to win. He joined them on stage after the 3 count and they held up the 4 horsemen sign. Arn Anderson came out with a rugged expression, then gave them the thumbs up.

Hadnt seen JJ Dillon or Tully Blanchard since the mid to late 80s. That was crazy.

AEW is great. I hope @Jessy89 checks it out. For those familiar with Bullet Club, I just saw an episode from a month or so ago with a revival of sorts of some of that group (Young Bucks, Gallows and Anderson).

AEW has been awesome. When the WCW disbanded, I wish an organization had formed to keep those people active and in the spotlight while bringing in some newcomers. I Stopped watching after 2003 or so, but this organization, AEW, has got me back interested.

I’ll say I’m pretty thrilled with sting and even big show. I was nervous with sting taking a power bomb. Very impressed he’s 64 it’s awesome he can still go.

AEW Revolution has been good so far. Really looking forward to the ladder match, the exploding barbed wire match between Omega and Moxley, and seeing who the big new addition is.

You know the new addition is going to be Paul Wight wrestling

Sting is only 61 but still that is impressive!
 
I forgot about the street fight with Sting and Darby against Cage and Starks.
 
Does the AEW have enough name recognition in the stables to garner more fans, or do they need a few more household names in the industry to come on board with them to grow the organization?
 
Penta just did the destroyer to Cody on a ladder.

I would love to see Cody go heel with FTR and Spears to form a Four Horsemen like stable.

Maybe, but I haven't watched a full episode of WWE since AEW started.
 
WWE would never do anything like an exploding barbed wire death match. AEW makes WWE look like an afterschool special.
 
That sting match was awesome. The exploding bard wire match meh it was ok. Sting match should have been main event

AEW is just awful to me. If everybody from the Elite had their last match last night except Page and Cody, I’d be thrilled.

They screwed up the ending last night with the dud explosion and Eddie selling it like it was still a big explosion and the commentators acting like it, too. Could have easily been solved by whoever was running the show telling the officials in their earpiece to tell Eddie and the commentators not to sell it and act relieved that the big explosion didn't happen. It still would have been effective with the story telling of Eddie coming out to help Moxley. Still, I think it was a great PPV overall, and I enjoy AEW so much more than I did watching WWE the past few years.

That's not a take I've heard much at all, but different strokes for different folks. Why do you think it is awful and is there any wrestling you like more today?

Yeah, it's the opposite for me. I look forward to AEW every week. I haven't watched WWE since AEW started airing on TNT.
 
Wow, big swerve at the end of AEW last night, and I loved it! I have been hoping for this stable to form for a while.

There’s just no selling. It’s a bunch of acrobats flying around. Tully instantly became like the fifth best worker in the company after not wresting for 15 something years. The bucks are insufferable and generally awful. Omega is about the same. Marko Stunt would’ve been broken in half by Ole Anderson. They have not built a homegrown star outside of Adam Page. Tony Khan is the absolute drizzling ----- as a Booker.

I don't know how anyone who watched wrestling in the 80s and 90s could prefer WWE over AEW now.

Vince would never have had that abortion of an exploding death match. He wouldn’t have the dark order working and none of the Japanese girls would see the light of day

No homegrown star other than Adam Page? Wrestlers such as Orange Cassidy, Dr. Britt Baker (more her character than her wrestling), MJF (same as Baker), Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, and the Dark Order/Inner Circle Alliances may beg to differ.

Regarding the "Lucha Libre" style high flying acrobatics, there is a lot of that and it is cool to watch. Have you seen Ray Fenix walk the ropes? It is amazing to see! But admittedly it is sometimes overdone at the expense of classic stay in the ring wrestling. I do think they (and probably others) overdo the knock down a bunch of people outside the ring at the same time like bowling pins.

ROH also has a lot of high flying.

AEW is Aweome!

As a big WCW fan growing up during the Monday night wars I stopped watching wrestling when WCW closed their doors in 2001. One of my good buddies has always watched wrestling and when he told me about AEW I watched All In and was hooked. Haven’t missed a weekly show nor a PPV. Blows away WWE.
 
I would have loved to see how AEW would have used Goldberg. But unfortunately that won’t happen since Goldberg is signed with wwe through 2023. How wwe is using Goldberg isn’t really working for most fans.
