not gonna lie alot of the hype of AEW has died off for me
Hangman does nothing for me. He's like a Bobby Roode guy. Amazing wrestler, cool look, more of that deep south style. Dude just does not move the needle for me. I like him but I would never stop what i'm doing to watch a match.
I still think WWE's play to go NXT vs. AEW is so mega smart. I would be utterly shocked if every single NXT fan was not also a fan of AEW. That's the competition.
I still think it's jericho but you do need to start building up non - elite talent...b/c that's when everyone will dump on it, if they keep going over...
Darby Allin, MJF, Shawn Spears, Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy are 5 guys already very over that aren’t the elite.
I was concerned heading into Double or Nothing, but they have done well putting people into positions for success.
Letting them be themselves and do what they do best helps a ton.
I’m actually really looking forward to this mid-card/tag group come when things actually get going.
correct,however, last night Brandi, Bucks, Kenny, Page all won... (not saying the reasoning for it was wrong)
they are trying...but I am patiently waiting for more
I mean, Kenny should have won. Page is in their title match, so he should have won. Bucks beat Cody, another elite member.
Allie should’ve beat Brandi, but it wasn’t a clean win and they were establishing the Brandi-Kong thing, so I get it.
Guys have gotten over, but all the matches right now are around the EVP's. YB/Kenny/Cody all have storylines and Jerhico and BC memeber Page are fighting for the title.
Meanwhile MJF, Jungle Boy, Darby, Luchasaurus will be in some multi man match or something, and even other acts like Kiss or Evans/Angelico Guvera, Kip etc... are more afterthoughts and get regulated to multi man matches or battle royals.
Jerhico though should 100% win the title and they should promote Moxly vs Jerhico on their first show on TNT.
These 2 shows sadly did do damage to the hype. Without these two shows, hype would be nuts. These shows were never supposed to be anything special but All In and DoN were so huge it raised the expectations even crazier.The hype has cooled off for me significantly imho.
