Evil Abed Unless things are different in the US than Canada for B/R live (Which I don't think they are) the replays of dynamites are delayed by around a month. Similar to Raw or Smackdown on the network. As far as the booking goes. I don't mean for this to sound rude, so I'm sorry if it does. How can you criticize or offer any relevant take on their long term booking, if by your own admittance you don't really follow it? Don't get me wrong I think as a casual fan you should be able to tune in and out and be entertained, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to follow all the long term stories as well. If you were following closely, I honestly don't think you'd be asking those questions, because it'd be clear that those feuds are far from done. snowjorden explained it perfectly really. Regards to the whole Moxley/Marko comparison, it's not an unfair take at all, I just have a different perception on it. I get that in a sport like MMA you typically fight opponents of similar skill levels for obvious safety reasons, and if they want to mirror MMA then yes this is a bad way to do it. On the other hand though, if we look at many other professional sports, the best team sometimes plays against the worst team. I like comparing to tennis a lot because I'm really familiar with it and I think it has some of the best comparisons. (PPVs = grand slams, etc). Novak has to play unranked players plenty. He always wins, but sometimes they give him a little more of a challenge than he anticipated, etc. That's kind of how I look at the Moxley then Marko type situations. Again I'm not saying it's an unfair take to have, it's not going to be the booking style for everybody, that's just how I interpret it and how it makes sense to me when I watch. Baseball and Basketball are probably the best team sport examples for it. A team can go 60-12, while another team goes 12-60. Those teams are going to meet each other during the season.

I think he has a point that they've booked the underbelly more strong than we'd normally see against main eventers. I personally don't have an issue with it and feel that they've elevated the whole roster by showing everyone's strengths but retaining their value.
what's the point of omega completely destroying marko? marko makes money. let him get his moves in, but omega gets the w. and that's the booking they've been following.

Oh he absolutely has a point there, it is very different than what most companies do. I think the only real comparison in a company I can think of at least is the way new Japan books their young Lions. Even that's different because the young Lions have very limited move sets where these guys get to really do their thing. Personally I like it for the reasons I mentioned above, I can understand how some wouldn't though.

AEW isn't doing anything worth writing home about. Dear mom, Life is good, I'm holding up well. The military is different than I pictured, but I'm adjusting. My drill sergeant is a bit strict but I'm not the Joker around here so it's ok for me. Send my regards to dad and my brother's. Like that? Sorry I thought we were writing letters to home. I figured one of us should offer something relevant and worth reading. See I'm trying this thing. When people come in to troll and make posts that contribute nothing and are just designed to start crap, I'm going to one up them in a more entertaining style. Nothing else has worked on this forum so I may as well make myself laugh and hopefully a couple of others. |

This company still proves that they’re exactly what late-WCW and TNA were. A place for former WWE talent to go when Vince no longer wants or needs them.

TNA, maybe, but they were terrible about bringing in WWE talent who were totally washed (except Angle) BECAUSE they were WWE names and they immediately dominated the card. I can excuse most of the ex-WWE signings AEW has done, because besides Jericho and Moxley none of them have been top guys. I totally disagree with late WCW. Late WCW was a dumpster fire for creative and talent (besides a handful of guys). What makes you compare that to AEW and not current WWE? Am I totally missing your point? |

Not late-WCW, like Judy Bagwell on a Forklift... late, as in when they began losing the Monday Night War. Which, in my opinion, was fat before they started losing in the ratings. |

For me it's clear what are "desperation" and "smart" hires for AEW bringing in ex-WWE guys. They're absolutely trying to pop bigger ratings (which is why Jericho and Moxley make a ton of sense) but to their credit they didn't sign every person WWE cut this year and form a new stable. Bringing in that Funkadactyl chick sucks, but I wouldn't say they're cashing in on her WWE value (which is non-existent). That version of WCW you're talking about was total desperation and it REEKED of it. Not trying to bicker or be a d*ck (I legit wanna know), but why would you say that version of WCW is like AEW? |

AEW reminds me of wwf 1997/98 - younger characters who felt slighted in wcw, the wwf took them and allowed them to find their characters and be booked as stars if they earned it. it's a creative environment, where as wwe has been stale for far too long. |
