It would be one thing if it was a local sports bar or something but in a restaurant is just ridiculous...I hope they overcompensated their waiter or waitress with an extra healthy tip.

If you want to watch wrestling, stay home. Don’t go out and inflict that shit on others.

AEW is now set on a new course and it's pretty intriguing for the unhappy fan. We don't know how long Punk is out so for now Mox is the champ. He's probably going to be featured more than Hangman was as champ because he's a bigger deal and now his feud with BCC and JAS takes even more priority because the champion is involved.
So what happens next, what is the course for the rest of the summer? If Punk is unable to make All Out who faces Mox for the Interim Championship? You'd think Danielson will be back by that point and we also have Claudio, but those three are apart of BCC. Will there be a split so soon? I could see Mox vs Jericho being a great summer feud and at some point something happens with Danielson or Claudio that causes a rift and a big challenge for Mox's interim belt against one of his stable mates. Jericho and Mox could get built up for All Out as the main event and it would probably deliver. It's a great feud that could definitely continue with the right story, and you could say that if AEW is struggling right now it could be smart to go back to something that really worked which was Jericho as champion. Mox as well really worked too and they've gone back to that but in my opinion Jericho would be a good choice if they wanted to have the Interim belt change hands. Jericho's reign was the best think in AEW history for my money. |

I’m starting to cool on FTR. It’s not their fault, necessarily. But this is the side effect of being hitched to the niche.

Even if they were the best in ring work team of all time, how many "FEDBAD" gimmicks are we supposed to care about/be invested in? Can you think of any other profession where your main contribution is being bitter and complaining about your former employer constantly, for YEARS on end?
Find me a brain surgeon that has to tell every patient he is going to operate on that "I will take care of you, I used to work at HOSPITALBAD, and boy did that suck, but now look at me". Now add 25 other brain surgeons into that same room saying the exact same thing, will you really care about any of them? |

I must say I'm excited to see what Claudio does in AEW. He's always been great in the ring but the thing that held him back is he doesn't have the most charisma and was not a very good promo. Now he has Regal to talk for him which is possibly going to negate his need to get himself over on the mic. There is potential for him to have the best run of his career here but they are going to need to run with it and not drop the ball.
I dunno if this is the right way to put it, but out of all the guys they have brought over from WWE, this is the one that I think could make for the best champion out of the lot for AEW. Claudio is a guy it seems like everyone has respected forever. He's a physical specimen who is built more like a model almost. His ringwork has been top tier FOREVER. Everyone seems to think he should have been higher on the card in WWE, and they aren't wrong. So here's a guy everyone has basically thought of as championship material for a while...and yet he's never gotten that opportunity. Give it to him now. Push hard. Him as champ fulfills all the things people have believed about him and it's something we haven't seen before. It's different, it's new. It's what people have wanted. And damnit Claudio straight deserves a run at the top of the pile. He's earned it. |

If a brain surgeon were pretending to perform brain surgery on piñatas while a dwarf farts in their face for the personal entertainment of an eccentric billionaire 3 years ago and now he’s actually doing what he wants to do, I don’t think it would be weird for him to tweet “3 years ago I was performing brain surgery on piñatas while a dwarf farted in my face. Now I’m performing ACTUAL brain surgery. Thanks to everyone who believed in me.”
I DO think it would be weird and a sign of awkward insecurity for people to shit on him for daring to mention the shitty piñata surgery/dwarf fart era of his life in a post about how far he’s come. |

I really want to care about Claudio and FTR. I really, really want to. It’s just…impossible for me when I know they’re going to be booked shit. I’d love to have faith that they’re going to overcome that shit, but I don’t think anyone can override the context of this company being a mess.

They went from shaving backs to licking boots. That’s the frustration people are feeling. It’s the need for wrestlers to try and use WWE comparatively as this catch-all “our circumstances might be bad, but at least…”
No. Be a grown-up and own your decisions. It’s a fallacy when people use something horrific to excuse something terrible they’re doing. That’s why “Fedbad” gets called out. The shit you’re doing is usually for a promotion that is not significantly better enough to justify the hipster bullshit. |

AEW needs to concern itself with being good, not with being “not WWE,” because they’re not WWE in some ways that aren’t desirable.

For example: AEW is still yet to book ANYONE to their best. Find anyone who has wrestled anywhere else of prominence and you’ll also see brighter points of their career. For FTR, it was NXT. Miro had those excellent stretches as Rusev. Moxley still dines out in being the third guy in The Shield. Cesaro fans are still going to need to go back to 2014 Cesaro.

Jericho's top AEW stuff is arguably the best work of his career. In particular his feud with Cody. Mox's AEW run has been fantastic and his title reign surpassed anything he ever did in WWE. Sting has been used brilliantly in AEW while in WWE he was booked and marketed poorly. Jake Hager was forced to wrestle every week in WWE while in AEW he only wrestles once or twice a year. Brodie Lee was treated like a top guy in AEW for his run and definitely would have been AEW champion at some point and in WWE he was stuck in tag programs and forgotten.

Jericho's initial run as the top guy in AEW was certainly better than anything he'd done in years in WWE. Not to say his late WWE stuff with the list was bad, but he had been devalued in WWE near the end. AEW repackaged him and treated him like an icon. His work as the first champion was definitely his best championship run in his career. That's why I consider his AEW run to be some of the best stuff. The feud with The Inner Circle and Cody was fucking incredible. He also had some great TV stuff with Scorpio Sky and Darby. Then Mox came in and turned it up a notch taking the belt and Jericho ended up doing Stadium Stampede with The Elite. Which at the time was one of the most fun things you could've asked for considering the pandemic and the limitations. |

I still love Jericho and AEW has definitely used him well bringing him in as being the big name attraction for the company but as far as him "doing his best work"...not even close to when he was in his prime

I hated the list stuff. Even so, I can MAYBE give the first year of Jericho a nod over that, but they’ve got to be pretty close. But that’s got nothing on other stretches of Jericho’s career.

I’m not, it’s true. I don’t buy in the myth of him reinventing himself. I think he’s been covering up a bald spot there for about a decade now.
