I've been a fan of Dustin's since his initial debut in wCw. And IMO he's had a fantastic career. Especially in WWE.
But while I know why AEW is bringing him in, having Goldust in such a high profiled match goes against everything they try to pretend they are not. It's kind of comical.

Man the AEW haters are just sad. Its almost a forgone conclusion that if your not interested in AEW, that you havent invested any time into what theyre doing, Being the Elite, or watched Omega over the last few years. In which case, please just keep your mouth shut. Or it could simply be not appealing to some people. Crazy thought I know. No its not crazy. That is totally fine. But dont never eat pizza, and then say its not appealing because of the way it looks. If u eat a slice and hate it than ok. But dont stand outside the window and say, "ya know what that doesnt look appetizing and the people in there eating it are stupid" |

I'd say giving Dustin the high profile end to his career he deserves, on a stage WWE won't give him, makes AEW exactly the product they're trying to be. |

You said it was basically conclusive that if you don’t find AEW appealing it’s simply because you haven’t invested time in watching it...... it could be that it’s just not appealing. Even after watched. |

How exactly do we know WWE wouldn't have given Dustin a proper send off? I mean, they kept him employed even with a double knee surgery at his age, so I'm not sure why we're going to pretend they weren't good to him. |

In which case, please just keep your mouth shut. I've invested a lot of time in what they are doing. I watched a press conference while taking a dump. I checked a couple tweets while trying to fall asleep at night. Oh and I watched NJPW and ROH, both of which have nothing to do with AEW. Call me when they do something like, oh I dunno....actually  ing wrestle. |

Watch the latest one with Goldust and tell me that it wasnt a good hype for a match. Theres content available and if you are a fan and follow it consistently you know the direction these guys are going. What did you expect them to materialize out of thin air and have a roster and show ready? And what they've done in NJPW and ROH is relevant. Omega had one of the best road to the title arcs in a really long time. Young Bucks consistently pumping out insane matches. The story telling on BTE while goofy is top notch. |

Kurt Angle just wrestled Corbin in his retirement match. I get that you will defend that as well, but that was a horrendous decision that alone is more than enough reason to doubt them. |

Just because I don't get my panties in a wad over every little thing doesn't mean I've never said anything negative against WWE. So the sooner you could stop taking these little shots, the sooner we can actually have an adult conversation. As for Angle, yes Corbin wasn't the right guy, clearly, but they still gave Kurt a farewell match at WM. That in itself is something. So maybe they would have done something nice for Dustin? I don't know. All I'm saying it could have been a possibility. And to act like we know it for a fact it wasn't, sounds stupid. |

I’m not going to say that I haven’t taken shots in the past, but I was legitimately trying to be pretty neutral here. I just said that I knew you’d defend the angle booking as we’d all discussed that and I remembered your position. did not mean any disrespect. I’m not going to say the wwe dragged Dustin through the coals. he had an amazing late career run. but on a creative level I simply do not trust the current wwe to head the ship properly after they’ve derailed so many times in the last 15 years (IMO). it would be nice to see Dustin get the definite send off he deserves. while it’s not out of question that wwe would entertain it, it’s without question that aew would and that it would be handled with the potential it has. |

It's interesting to see how divisive AEW already is before their first show has even aired. I'm excited to see this match considering Dustin can still go and the hype video was really well done. I'm not a huge fan of the Being the Elite series (to each their own if it's your thing), mostly on account of it appearing to be very inside baseball type of stuff, seemingly random to an outside viewer and I admittedly haven't followed Omega, The Bucks, or anybody else's career that pops up in those videos.
However, the Road to Double or Nothing videos on YouTube have been stellar in terms of production value and introducing a new potential viewer to the AEW management team, roster as well as storylines for Double or Nothing. For anyone that has any interest in AEW but might be on the fence of getting invested because they aren't familiar with the talent or company direction, I would definitely recommend checking out that video series to help get you up to speed on their direction. Also, Chris Van Vliet just conducted a really interesting interview with Tony Khan about various aspects of AEW that shed some light on the company and their goals.
