AEW All Elite Wrestling #5: Road to Double or Nothing

[CDJ]

That tattoo is still there

Marko is still the worst thing in professional wrestling. MJF is still the best thing.

Good for AEW to do that.

I liked Baker's promo again, and MJF was good as per usual. I'm not big on Daniels but I'm enjoying his back and forth with Dark Order more than I expected to. Liking the building up of Page as well.

I am not a Stunt hater. I think he plays a good character. No different than Spike Dudley. Dude is fun. If you cannot suspend disbelief while watching wrestling.... i don't know.

I think he’s a little dipshit that almost broke the butchers neck last night. And when he flosses I want to throw him in a pit of snakes

I’m gonna pretend you didn’t just insult spike dudley like this by making that comparison either. HOW DARE YOU SIR! SIR!

spike actually knew how to work. And even that aside he still towers over Marko stunt. The difference in size between them is literally the distance in size between me and Pascal Siakam

I don’t see any value that he adds. He can’t work. He can’t talk. He’s a shitty mascot. Maybe they can get wee man to mascot the young bucks or something. Shawn Spears needs a tag team partner, maybe we could get some dump truck from my 600 lb life because “suspension of disbelief” or whatever. Maybe a pizza guy in a TMNT costume. Or a wacky wavy inflatable flailing arms tube man. That at least has charisma!

he would be best in peter Avalon’s role but peter Avalon is way better than him at it. He’s going to either hurt himself or somebody else. The kids only 23, Hes super green. I don’t think he should be here yet. The in-ring stuff isn’t up to par like it is for a similarly young guy like Guevara

 

[CDJ]

wonder what that means for Brodie Lee’s debut

I gotta admit. Seeing Tony Schiavone again is pretty surreal. Not to mention that him and JR are on the same broadcast.

 

[DaaaaB's]

AEW is doing much better than WWE at putting on a show with no fans so far. Not surprising since they do everything better than wwe.

I like the way they're doing it given the situation. Changing the camera angle and using the wrestlers around the ring is good in the short term.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

This has been an entertaining show so far. Way more wrestling than I expected, good character work, and a "swerve" of The Exalted One. With the main event to go, good job so far AEW!

Yep, they're making the best of a bad situation. Having other wrestlers watching is a great idea.

Jake Roberts with another great promo. Loved the chirp about the Elites earlier promo. That Lance Archer vignette was kind of cool too. Definitely unique.

 

[DaaaaB's]

Sammy singing Jerichos theme song was the funniest thing I've seen on a wrestling show in a long time.

 

[JackSlater]

Guevara is comfortably my favourite thing to emerge from AEW.

 

[TNT87]

Really good show.

 

[dubey]

SO GOOD

I hope they continue doing shows. They didn't reference next week at all just "next show"

 

[ColePens]

AEW went out there and delivered. Wow.

He's part of one of the most over acts in the entire company so I'm pretty sure the people running the company don't give a single flying fig about what you think. In fact the reason he's in AEW is because Cody saw him on a (IIRC) GCW event where he pretty much stole the show. And while we are on the subject I think it's hilarious that certain people who won't shut up about how Marko Stunt kills the credibility of the business grew up on wrestling featuring such "credible" things as the top guy feuding with werewolves, mummies and Batman. That wasn't any more credible than Marco Stunt but you know what? It was fun and people loved it so who cares?

 

[CDJ]

You aren’t the reason Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are over, marko

people who think the flossing midget are cool are lames. At least hornswoggle made sense, even if it was dumb lol (every Irish person has a pet leprechaun, obviously)

it isn’t even just about the credibility of the business- I mean Kenny omega has wrestled sex dolls- marko is a bad worker on top of that! It’s a good thing he is so small, if he wasn’t he would have broken butchers neck. And he’s annoying. Because he flosses like a 9 year old from 2017, except he’s an alleged grown man in 2020. And takes away from the actual future star in the group.


Orange Cassidy is actually pretty funny and can work. I have no problem with goofy shit. The goofy shit I grew up on was actually good (shout out The Hurricane)

 

[Brodeur]

It's a shame that those debuts had to come in front of an empty crowd.

I will reply to this pile of gibberish with a simple reply: if he was just a real small guy with no talent or charisma that wasn't over a lick do you think he would've been hired in the first place?

 

[CDJ]

Yes I think unqualified people get hired in every line of work every day. There are bad doctors, there are bad lawyers, and much like in this case here there are bad mascots

I think that tag team is just as over with him as they are without him

I will say this- he does give Jurassic express somebody to take the pin fall so jungle boy doesnt have to get buried. So that’s nice

 

[flyersfan187]

You go from watching Raw being terrible even with Austin on there to this show. This was an amazing show they had in front of zero fans. The dark order will be much better now, even though I enjoyed them here and there before. Hardy joining up with the Elite temporarily could be the next match up for Jericho at a ppv which would be an entertaining feud. MJF and Spears betting was a fun little thing to have on the side. One thing that AEW has over WWE is that everything they do seems natural compared to forced by the WWE.

Btw, I hope when fans come back I hope they start doing a Waffle House chant lol
