Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

The Saudi Arabian audience apparently loves to see the classics. I think they're keeping it going until they can wheel Goldberg out for another match there in a couple of months.

Didn't watch Summerslam but I did watch some highligh clips.

Nice to see Edge come out to his old Brood theme.

That entrance theme along with Gangrel and Christian was one of the best themes in WWF at the time. The music used to bump on the speaker system.

Not a big fan of Punk myself either....but I get that some really liked him.

AEW gets big time brownie points for how they really took care of Brodie Lee's family. Plus I have been a Kenny Omega fan since someone mentioned him a couple of years back.

Plus I like how Tony Khan has opened the door to their grapplers crossing into other wrestling groups.

Nowhere close to 100% that Bray Wyatt is headed to AEW. Meltzer said it was 99.9% then Alvarez said he'd gotten texts from people that would know confused about where Meltzer had gotten that.

Adam Coles contract expired and he's now free..so he's either Raw, Smackdown or AEW bound.

BryanBusby · 08-23-2021, 07:45 PM

Unless he's a ****ing idiot, he's All Elite.

Nickhead · 09-02-2021, 04:29 PM

tell ya what, AEW is killing it right now. aside from my unfamiliarity with a lot of the wrestlers, they are very skilled.

loved watching a match recently where someone pulled a weapon out of the turnbuckle. i hadn't seen that act in 20 years.

Sassy Squatch · 09-05-2021, 09:53 PM

Well, let's see if AEW can do something with this momentum. Probably the best chance they're ever going to have right now.

BryanBusby · 09-05-2021, 09:55 PM

They're not Vince McMahon, so I'm sure it will be managed at least 'ok'

Tune in to the Vince response on Raw: Nia Jax on a pole match

Mecca · 09-05-2021, 10:02 PM

Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson back to back...

AEW has a better roster than WWE.

Mecca · 09-06-2021, 08:52 PM

We should discuss the utter stupidity of the WWE walking on Adam Cole over Twitch.

smithandrew051 · 09-06-2021, 08:56 PM

Shouldn’t wrestlers on Twitch be a good thing?

Kayfabe is long since dead, so I only see positives in the wrestlers developing a more personal following. As long as they aren’t spoiling anything, then what’s the harm?

Sassy Squatch · 09-06-2021, 09:00 PM

Or he wanted to work where his best friends were the EVPs and his girlfriend works as well. Seriously doubt the Twitch streams had much to do with it.

It was part, he told them he wouldn't give it up and they said they weren't changing the rule..

It was about the money, they didn't like wrestlers making 100k a year off it while they got nothing. They literally thought they should have gotten a cut.
