They need to do something about the arenas they’re booking. I know their set doesn’t fit into some smaller arenas but it looks so minor league with the turnouts they’re getting atm. NXT in the PC unironically looks better
It’s honestly funny, Brian made a comment in passing about how NXT has loaded up for war against Dynamite. What’s hilarious is that all those AEW marks on Twitter were saying shit like “ooooo WWE is scared!! They fear Tony! They can’t compete” and then when WWE didn’t pay them any mind all the marks were like “I can’t believe WWE doesn’t see us as equals???!” It’s fucking stupid. They’re acting like they’re going head to head with smack down and getting 2mil a show. They’re BARELY beating the C show! And the C show has been gaining ground. I will be overjoyed if NXT hits 1mil and AEW can’t top 800k
I don't work for WWE so can say for certain but at the time AEW went up vs NXT I think the future of NXT was uncertain. They didn't know what they were gonna do with it as WWE as a whole was at war with itself with Vince trying to stay in power. Of course the Vince blow up happened later publicly but I doubt it was all sunshine and rainbows at titan towers until that day. Now HHH is head booker, Endeavor is backing him and WWE is not at war with itself from the outside looking in. Now AEW should be scared, because Vince would call them piss ants and ignore them. Endeavor with UFC killed many of its competitors who were less trouble than AEW. Completely different situation from a business POV and AEW will survive but if WWE makes it the land of a long career, access to TV/Film and youth training quality, AEW will become the retirement home and at the moment it is hard to say that isn't true.
Tony allow himself to jab and insult WWE, declare war on them but when WWE retaliate back, he goes on X and act as a spoil child screaming being bullied with his mindless Cult all jumping in and endorse his childish action with "WWE bad" He have the ball to called out and insult Vince, Triple H and HBK for retaliation. Is it a "war" or a "fight" if your opposite is not allowed to hit you back? Sometimes I wish Punk would literally punch him in the face and embarrassed him as a cry baby. He called out WWE being petty yet he having a f**king preshow for a normal TV taping not PPV and got a 10 minutes delay just because WWE announce NXT would be commercial free for the first 30 minutes and always ends with a 8 minutes overrun
@virgilhawkins7368 lmao nah my point is why not have mjf lose the titles while Cole is bound to be out of action for months.. could lead to storytelling of cole has animosity towards mjf for losing THEIR belts
Valid point. Tony should either vacate the belts, have a title change, or wait it out, but it should be the same for both of the tag team championships. It's clear he doesn't want to divert from his MJF/Cole fantasy booking.

It would've been cool if they just relinquished the titles, then have a tournament to push the other teams. Then months later when he heals they can have a storyline that they never lost the titles.
Because Tony Khan is an absolutely trash incompetent booker? Seriously, no one has any momentum, build, direction, etc. almost every title change is random and has been so for about a year.
FTR probably requested to lose the tag titles so that they won't job to the Young Bucks. On the other hand, Starks and Big Bill will probably do the honors for the Bucks.
@@weirdlyflipping2349 I'm 27 you're just like every younger person don't know shit about anything from the past. Same as people who use the excuses" I wasn't born yet so idk what that is" maybe if you did some research and learning on the past when it comes to anything this younger generation would be alot more useful.
If you think about it, everyone always says AEW is always cold when Punk isn’t there . Punk hurt his foot last year, TK drove AEW into the ground with all the ROH crap. Punk is fired and now AEW is cold again, not even edge can help it. Punk caused headlines for better or worse, but it made everyone invested in some way. I don’t even watch collision anymore since he left
They're going back to WWE with Punk. Mark my words. Dax recently filed a trademark for "CMFTR." Triple-H is running creative, and FTR are Paul's boys. I guarantee they are helping mend the relationship between HHH and Punk. MJF is out when his contract is up. Tony killed AEW by firing Punk and he doesn't even know it yet.
@HelsinkirocksAGF Turns out all you have to do to be released from your contract in AEW is scare poor Tony a little too much. You think he has the balls to hold them? I highly doubt that. If they want to leave I guarantee he would let them. This guy is clearly far more concerned with who wants to be "friends" with him than he is with running a profitable business. Lol.
I watched Edge's entrance and any fan who watched him since WWE return will know the difference...... He only walked on one side of the stage cause the other side is godly empty. 😂
Yep! We’ve all seen the fan cam footage of how empty one whole side was, but you still have AEW fans angrily denying what you see with your own eyes! Madness.
I kind of feel bad for Edge. He cooled off in WWE a few years after his triumphant return at the rr and now he's gone to a company that's even more ice cold and the hope it could be something elevated has gone.
I'm not usually one to agree with uncle Dave meltzer but he's right when he says these shows are cold right now.. yes they just got edge wooopty dooo but bringing in ex WWE guys or girls is just plugging up the problems and not fixing them. Because the booking and the formatting off these shows are just all over the place and nothing is feeling ike a big deal for more a week or two and that's why no more than 3,000 people if that are turning up to these arenas. 3 shows is just way too much overkill
At the start I think most people thought that AEW would be wrestling and WWE would sport entertainment. AEW had the total wins to give logic to title shots on a standard basis so they could say for example "Big bill has 20 wins" even if it is against jobbers so he gets a shot. Easy way to setup new title contenders by letting them get cheap wins in your system. But sadly WWE did a good run of sports entertaining with the blood line and AEW lost all of its classic wrestling soul with Cody leaving. AEW at the start had some gems of solid technical wrestling with the refs calling the matches with proper DQ but they replaced all of that for a focus on Lucha, Japanese and cruiserweight style matches with a mix of wrestlings stars of the past like Sting. Much like TNA, AEW has harsh critics because of what it could have been. You could have your Elite style matches, Cody's classic approach, RoH dream matches, Japanese spectacle and the dream matches in general. Instead we get bloated cards with repeats becoming more common with no stories worth a damn.
"They _kicked_ a gypsy" Thats a new one for me. I don't know where Cornette gets these colorful sayings, but they are glorious. 😂You could never repeat a lot of them in polite company, but it's fun to know they exist.
I can confirm back during Monday Nitro and the Wolf Pac time period SLC was packed. So it's not whether or not wrestling can draw in Utah, AEW just doesn't draw.
Probably wrong lol but part of me wonders if the plan is for the bucks to become tag team champions again, and they were worried the fan backlash would be bad if they beat FTR for it?
Too late, The Bucks already have negative backlash.... They're complaining about it on Instagram and Nick says they're offended by people saying that they're locker room cancers...

4:00 This is another interesting or dumb? CM Punk throwing out hints for the PLE in Chicago. Now FTR drop the belts on a random Collision then posting confusing cryptic messages.
Dax filed for the trademark CMFTR less than a week ago so when they lost I'm like ok they're going to WWE. Now they're saying cash was injured and they're not leaving. Looks suss tho filing for that out of the blue
I was @ Collision in State College, PA it was brutally dead, Tony Khan kept coming out any chance he could to “pump” up the crowd, it was enjoyable, yet so painful what’s an email I can send you his speech, you’ll love it, it’s a tragedy 🎭
I was at Raw in Hershey Pennsylvania and Vince had to give each fan blowjobs and free chocolate bars to keep us from walking out, very sad state the WWE is in.
It was the EVP booking. Since they won the tag team contention match they will win the belts without burying FTR and FTR will battle them to retain . Lazy booking
The one thing everybody seems to be forgetting is that IF Dax was really injured and IF it actually was a cracked rib, FTR could have been off TV for a couple of weeks, then done some promos for a couple of weeks and that would have given Dax a month to recover. Plenty of time for a cracked rib.
The way they executed it was bad. If FTR were due lose to the titles due to injuries then the Aussie open or Juice Robinson & Jay White would have been a better fit.
@@TimTE01 but Starks has been managing and tagged with Big Bill over a month now. Cody and Jey had one tag match together and beat Judgement day in their first try as a team. I’m not saying that’s bad, but if Starks and Big Bill is random then so is Cody and Jey. (I don’t think either teams are random)
This quote from Brian is AEW in a Nutshell "They're booking to make themselves happy... They're not booking to draw fans... It's not what AEW fans want... And it's not what fans who keep trying to give AEW a chance want..." Brian is 100 % right here.
My issue with this change comes from booking. We know bucks won no.1 contender’s match at wrestledream. And yet somehow big bill and starks challenge ftr? When did that happen??? Also, bill and starks are gonna drop titles to bucks when the eventually match comes…
Tbh this was a good call. Cash has fractured ribs and Starks/Bill are on the rise right now. I’m sure they’ll get the belts back down the line but this was for the best
@@jay_1212 and we dont have to see them vs the young sucks another time, i cant stand the young bucks and ftr is too good to be losing a belt to those two jobbers
Starks and big bill needed it imo, how do you have a guy like starks who was way over with crowd and not push him? And with big bill, they missed an opportunity to make him a dominant heel monster and had him to lose to a twink like orange cassidy
How to become "Booker of the Year" 3 times in a row - Think of any common sense booking decision, and do the exact opposite until nobody cares about any of your talent.
@@crowland1129 the same guy who unironically is starting to talk about how “cold” AEW is right now… 🤦🏼♂️ hahaha Meltzer is such a smart mark that doesn’t even like his own favorite “style” of wrestling.
I live in Stockton, CA and Dynamite couldn’t even sell out here. And we were a great wrestling town and the fact they had to black out the upper section because it was empty is a sign that the way Tony handle the Punk situation is the nail. Hard to say because I really can’t stand the WWE
12:32 - to be fair, he still pretends like he had no hand in why things have gotten this bad.... despite driving dog sht narrative that skew the fans perception in a very specific direction, and then telling Tony that he should book to what the fans want.... Tony is booking for himself and Dave, and neither of them actually like what they are watching. Its like shooting yourself and your friend in the feet and then wondering why you are both having trouble walking.
Since Cash is injured, I thought this was a great way to get Starks & Big Bill wearing the belts, making Bill look like the monster he should be shown as. FTR are great and will get the belts back at some point down the road, but this was a fine call. What singles belt are you going to put on Starks? MJF world title? F no! Christians? F no! Moxley? Well, maybe, but Tony loves Moxley. ROH? No, you just put it on Kingston, and you're not taking Joe's belt. This title change is fine. FTR will be back, and you made the new champs look strong.
"Big Bill" will never look like a legit monster. Everyone knows who he is now and what he's about so this came out as flat as a plate of piss. You don't know what you're talking about.
AEW makes me angrier than Vince’s terrible late 2010s booking. You’re supposed to be an alternative to WWE, but you’re just a knockoff WWE. You’re WCW in 2000, but less popular and with lesser stars.
Starks and Big Bill tagging is the same reason MJF is world champion and in a tag team. Tony doesn't know what the hell he's doing. He's did the same exact thing with Samoa Joe and Wardlow last year when they were both TV champions all they did was tag.
Well, CM Punk is not there to expose the lack of Booking Quality anymore,so of course something like that would happen. Also, Brian said that AEW doesn't give what their fans want, i disagree completely, because this idiots love everything.
Everyone thinking cash being injured has something to do with this is ignoring one big thing........ Adam Cole is the member of a comedy tag team that sucks and he's injured. His partner got to defend the titles in a handicap match against jobbers. Didnt have to drop the belts from a company that doesnt really exist. Weird. Almost like a "fuck you".
I come on here write a comment about Tony having a mental breakdown. And literally 10minutes late I hear Tony was going Twitter fights with marks last night. You can't make this 💩 up.😂😂😂😂😂
I see this as the Buckaroos having an easier team to face so they can win the belts with that tag title shot without beating FTR, just my opinion at first glance
Speaking of bad ticket sells. I was at WrestleDream and the arena was empty as fu$k! The last update was 6,200 something tickets sold. Half of the arena services where closed and AEW's merch table was a complete joke! The Climate pledge arena holds roughly 15,000 for wrestling it sold 14,700 in Jan for Dynamite.
Thank you Brian once again for apologizing for the noise we cannot, and have never heard lol

Even if cash is hurt, how do they justify FTR having these 20+ minute bangers with Jay & Juice and Aussie Open, then losing like this?
It would've been cool if they just relinquished the titles, then have a tournament to push the other teams. Then months later when he heals they can have a storyline that they never lost the titles.
Because Tony Khan is an absolutely trash incompetent booker? Seriously, no one has any momentum, build, direction, etc. almost every title change is random and has been so for about a year.

This was a squash match and it didn’t have to be.
Currently, AEW Collison has gone in the wind as we see in our eyes. The ship sailed and sinked from the bottom trenches. 😔
FTR probably requested to lose the tag titles so that they won't job to the Young Bucks. On the other hand, Starks and Big Bill will probably do the honors for the Bucks.
It's to transition the belts to the young bucks once again.
I was at the event in Utah and the crowd was hot but there was 2000 people max. Only one half of the arena was sold , the other half was empty

Wish we talked more about the matches than the seating arrangement
If you think about it, everyone always says AEW is always cold when Punk isn’t there . Punk hurt his foot last year, TK drove AEW into the ground with all the ROH crap. Punk is fired and now AEW is cold again, not even edge can help it. Punk caused headlines for better or worse, but it made everyone invested in some way. I don’t even watch collision anymore since he left
They don’t wanna talk about that 😂😂😂
Wasnt this only like the 2nd match Starks and Bill had as an actual tag team , just a random no build cold match
Business as usual
Dax trademarks CMFTR and then FTR gets squashed and loses their titles...hmmmmm
They're going back to WWE with Punk. Mark my words. Dax recently filed a trademark for "CMFTR." Triple-H is running creative, and FTR are Paul's boys. I guarantee they are helping mend the relationship between HHH and Punk. MJF is out when his contract is up. Tony killed AEW by firing Punk and he doesn't even know it yet.
I hope ricky is next
I don't think they're HHH's boys as much as you think. Remember the whole Kliq incident and Shawn Michaels being an ass to Dax?
Didn't FTR just sign like 4 year contract lol?
@@eiephants times heal all
@HelsinkirocksAGF Turns out all you have to do to be released from your contract in AEW is scare poor Tony a little too much. You think he has the balls to hold them? I highly doubt that. If they want to leave I guarantee he would let them. This guy is clearly far more concerned with who wants to be "friends" with him than he is with running a profitable business. Lol.
I watched Edge's entrance and any fan who watched him since WWE return will know the difference......
He only walked on one side of the stage cause the other side is godly empty. 😂
Yep! We’ve all seen the fan cam footage of how empty one whole side was, but you still have AEW fans angrily denying what you see with your own eyes! Madness.
I kind of feel bad for Edge. He cooled off in WWE a few years after his triumphant return at the rr and now he's gone to a company that's even more ice cold and the hope it could be something elevated has gone.
I had 0 clue that Big Bill and Ricky were a team.
I'm not usually one to agree with uncle Dave meltzer but he's right when he says these shows are cold right now.. yes they just got edge wooopty dooo but bringing in ex WWE guys or girls is just plugging up the problems and not fixing them. Because the booking and the formatting off these shows are just all over the place and nothing is feeling ike a big deal for more a week or two and that's why no more than 3,000 people if that are turning up to these arenas. 3 shows is just way too much overkill
At the start I think most people thought that AEW would be wrestling and WWE would sport entertainment. AEW had the total wins to give logic to title shots on a standard basis so they could say for example "Big bill has 20 wins" even if it is against jobbers so he gets a shot. Easy way to setup new title contenders by letting them get cheap wins in your system.
But sadly WWE did a good run of sports entertaining with the blood line and AEW lost all of its classic wrestling soul with Cody leaving. AEW at the start had some gems of solid technical wrestling with the refs calling the matches with proper DQ but they replaced all of that for a focus on Lucha, Japanese and cruiserweight style matches with a mix of wrestlings stars of the past like Sting.
Much like TNA, AEW has harsh critics because of what it could have been. You could have your Elite style matches, Cody's classic approach, RoH dream matches, Japanese spectacle and the dream matches in general. Instead we get bloated cards with repeats becoming more common with no stories worth a damn.
A massive roster but it's the same guys week in week in week out.
"They _kicked_ a gypsy" Thats a new one for me. I don't know where Cornette gets these colorful sayings, but they are glorious. 😂You could never repeat a lot of them in polite company, but it's fun to know they exist.
First for me too! Lol. I guess it means accident prone, that's what I got from the context anyway.
Ha ha l think it means they kicked a gypsy, and the gypsy put a curse on them!
Speaking of glorius, whatever happened to Bobby Roode?
@@bigvito9008 That's... A really good question
I can confirm back during Monday Nitro and the Wolf Pac time period SLC was packed.
So it's not whether or not wrestling can draw in Utah, AEW just doesn't draw.
Even wwe at its lowest drawing shows in the mid 90s had more fans and heat than this.
@@eiephants they even sold out the building when they went for TV taping earlier in the year
I swear I thought they were gonna lose because the Bucks are the new no.1 contenders!
People think that Jim cornette hates everybody, but he started off this video by complimenting six different active AEW wrestlers.
The only people who honestly think Jim hates everyone are the ones who are butthurt that Jim dislikes a few of their favorite indy darlings
@@zacheatscrackersexactly, the snowflakes can't handle the critiques of Orange and the spot monkeys

Absolutely nailed it Brian
Probably wrong lol but part of me wonders if the plan is for the bucks to become tag team champions again, and they were worried the fan backlash would be bad if they beat FTR for it?
I think ftr anticipated they would have had to drop the belts to the young cucks and decided to drop to ricky and big bill instead
Too late, The Bucks already have negative backlash.... They're complaining about it on Instagram and Nick says they're offended by people saying that they're locker room cancers...
@@ezstreete Who exactly besides phil has heat with the bucks?

He is clearly a jaggoff.

Corny said last week that no one wants to see the Bucks and FTR yet again. Well, Tony Khan decided to do something about that.
4:00 This is another interesting or dumb? CM Punk throwing out hints for the PLE in Chicago. Now FTR drop the belts on a random Collision then posting confusing cryptic messages.
Damn does this mean that Starks and Bill are gonna job to the bucks now?
im not the biggest starks fan but I feel he’s gonna end up being buried because of them
Dax filed for the trademark CMFTR less than a week ago so when they lost I'm like ok they're going to WWE. Now they're saying cash was injured and they're not leaving. Looks suss tho filing for that out of the blue
FTR lost tag titles? 🙃🙃
I am shocked I tell you, SHOCKED! 😑😑
Sucks FTR lost. Least it wasn't to the Buckaroos. If FTR had to drop the belts, Gin and Juice was the team to.
I was @ Collision in State College, PA it was brutally dead, Tony Khan kept coming out any chance he could to “pump” up the crowd, it was enjoyable, yet so painful what’s an email I can send you his speech, you’ll love it, it’s a tragedy 🎭
Post it in replies, we NEED to read the pathetic address!
Post on here lol you may take over the iwc for it
@@EscapeArt15 just posted on my channel from September Collision, let’s get it to Brian and Jim!
I was at Raw in Hershey Pennsylvania and Vince had to give each fan blowjobs and free chocolate bars to keep us from walking out, very sad state the WWE is in.
I'd be so fckn annoyed at Tony.
It was the EVP booking. Since they won the tag team contention match they will win the belts without burying FTR and FTR will battle them to retain . Lazy booking
The one thing everybody seems to be forgetting is that IF Dax was really injured and IF it actually was a cracked rib, FTR could have been off TV for a couple of weeks, then done some promos for a couple of weeks and that would have given Dax a month to recover. Plenty of time for a cracked rib.
Yep it’s really about punishing them for being friends of Punk
This is like Roman losing the championship to Otis lol. All this, for what?
The way they executed it was bad. If FTR were due lose to the titles due to injuries then the Aussie open or Juice Robinson & Jay White would have been a better fit.
Otis is over
@@tonimaestre96 Chad Gable is over. There's a difference. He's over by association.
@@gunnyo50 Agreed, they couldn't even lose them to a legit tag team. What's that tell ya? Tony books in the dark while pulling names out of a hat.

Cody finishes half of his story ha wtf
@@totallykoolyeah we are really in the Codyverse 😆 bros doing side quests now 🤣 Michael Cole even went heel on him on Raw like wtf are u doing Cody 😭🤣
Not thrown together really.
Cody has history with the Usos.
Cody brought Jey back (in story)
Cody defends him.
That’s more than this team.
@@TimTE01 but Starks has been managing and tagged with Big Bill over a month now. Cody and Jey had one tag match together and beat Judgement day in their first try as a team. I’m not saying that’s bad, but if Starks and Big Bill is random then so is Cody and Jey. (I don’t think either teams are random)
@@Melo_Soul separate entrances so stardust can use all the shows pyro
.. gotta chuckle
This is ftr doing what the bucks did to them when they dropped the belts to keith and swerve to avoid ftr.
Cash is hurt, how is no one getting this lol
Fo shizzle my Wigger,
Bet Cash fractured his ribs on purpose just to avoid a trip to Rancho Cucamonga, yeah boi.
This quote from Brian is AEW in a Nutshell "They're booking to make themselves happy...
They're not booking to draw fans...
It's not what AEW fans want...
And it's not what fans who keep trying to give AEW a chance want..." Brian is 100 % right here.
Was Tony Khan melting down last night on Twitter? Feeling the NXT heat
Booking makes no sense....BOOKER OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
1:29 actually the current champion also doesn't draw 15 cents in chinese money.
This was done to get the title on the bucks
My issue with this change comes from booking. We know bucks won no.1 contender’s match at wrestledream. And yet somehow big bill and starks challenge ftr? When did that happen??? Also, bill and starks are gonna drop titles to bucks when the eventually match comes…
wow this is one of the greatest tag team of all time FTR losing to a random tag team
Tbh this was a good call. Cash has fractured ribs and Starks/Bill are on the rise right now. I’m sure they’ll get the belts back down the line but this was for the best
@@jay_1212 and we dont have to see them vs the young sucks another time, i cant stand the young bucks and ftr is too good to be losing a belt to those two jobbers
So Starks and bill are the iron shiek to the bucks ' hogan?
Starks and big bill needed it imo, how do you have a guy like starks who was way over with crowd and not push him? And with big bill, they missed an opportunity to make him a dominant heel monster and had him to lose to a twink like orange cassidy
Dax Harwood has a new pair of balls to swing from now that Adam Copeland is All Elite, they ain't going anywhere anytime soon
How did he get hurt? Hiding his gun. Lol that was brutal bryan
They're in business for themselves. AEW is the new kliq cesspool
I need Jim WWE videos lol. He should talk about Dragunov vs. Hayes and Lynch vs. Stratton.
I don't know whether did Jim watched Fast lane or not so hopefully he review the PLE
What is he doing? The answer is:
Tony loves wrestling but doesn’t understand wrestling.
How to become "Booker of the Year" 3 times in a row - Think of any common sense booking decision, and do the exact opposite until nobody cares about any of your talent.
And the only good booking you give is to the people the guy that gives said award adores.
@@crowland1129 the same guy who unironically is starting to talk about how “cold” AEW is right now… 🤦🏼♂️ hahaha Meltzer is such a smart mark that doesn’t even like his own favorite “style” of wrestling.
All to avoid the inevitable, bucks winning the belts again cause they won a match they booked
Where is "Jay white steals MJF's belt on Dynamite" or " Jay white vs Andrade"
I live in Stockton, CA and Dynamite couldn’t even sell out here. And we were a great wrestling town and the fact they had to black out the upper section because it was empty is a sign that the way Tony handle the Punk situation is the nail. Hard to say because I really can’t stand the WWE
12:32 - to be fair, he still pretends like he had no hand in why things have gotten this bad.... despite driving dog sht narrative that skew the fans perception in a very specific direction, and then telling Tony that he should book to what the fans want....
Tony is booking for himself and Dave, and neither of them actually like what they are watching.
Its like shooting yourself and your friend in the feet and then wondering why you are both having trouble walking.
One we've all been waiting on!
FTR lose and we get 26 mins? Boy howdy!
my thoughts exactly 😂
Spoiler alert: 14 minutes of it is an ad
At least they didn't job 'em to the Bucks.
Since Cash is injured, I thought this was a great way to get Starks & Big Bill wearing the belts, making Bill look like the monster he should be shown as. FTR are great and will get the belts back at some point down the road, but this was a fine call. What singles belt are you going to put on Starks? MJF world title? F no! Christians? F no! Moxley? Well, maybe, but Tony loves Moxley. ROH? No, you just put it on Kingston, and you're not taking Joe's belt. This title change is fine. FTR will be back, and you made the new champs look strong.
"Big Bill" will never look like a legit monster. Everyone knows who he is now and what he's about so this came out as flat as a plate of piss. You don't know what you're talking about.
Mox definitely would’ve worked especially with that whole Starks and Danielson feud but I dunno if Tony would book that like you said
They should fire Starks
Stop talking sense!
@pud66 Agreed on all points. It is high time for Tony Con to stop jobbing out Big Bill. (hate the name change, W. Morrissey was much better)
AEW makes me angrier than Vince’s terrible late 2010s booking. You’re supposed to be an alternative to WWE, but you’re just a knockoff WWE. You’re WCW in 2000, but less popular and with lesser stars.
They are punishing all the CM Punk friends.
Jim sabotaging the ads are so good 😂
Atleast we wont get the bucks vs Ftr for the titles again
Starks and Big Bill tagging is the same reason MJF is world champion and in a tag team. Tony doesn't know what the hell he's doing. He's did the same exact thing with Samoa Joe and Wardlow last year when they were both TV champions all they did was tag.
Man there's no way they can make bucks the champs... Tony's supposed to be some numbers genius, does he not listen to the ratings shows here? 🤣
Well, CM Punk is not there to expose the lack of Booking Quality anymore,so of course something like that would happen.
Also, Brian said that AEW doesn't give what their fans want, i disagree completely, because this idiots love everything.
Everyone thinking cash being injured has something to do with this is ignoring one big thing........ Adam Cole is the member of a comedy tag team that sucks and he's injured. His partner got to defend the titles in a handicap match against jobbers. Didnt have to drop the belts from a company that doesnt really exist.
Weird. Almost like a "fuck you".
I come on here write a comment about Tony having a mental breakdown. And literally 10minutes late I hear Tony was going Twitter fights with marks last night.
You can't make this 💩 up.😂😂😂😂😂
Had Starks and Big bill been teaming together? I thought Starks was a singles guy after he broke up with Hobbs?
It would've made more sense for them to build up Hobbs and Starks as a tag team. I thought that they would do that when they were apart of Team Taz.
It's one thing to lose them in front of 50,000 people on ppv. A whole other thing to lose them in front of 1,000 people on free tv.
I see this as the Buckaroos having an easier team to face so they can win the belts with that tag title shot without beating FTR, just my opinion at first glance
Speaking of bad ticket sells. I was at WrestleDream and the arena was empty as fu$k! The last update was 6,200 something tickets sold. Half of the arena services where closed and AEW's merch table was a complete joke! The Climate pledge arena holds roughly 15,000 for wrestling it sold 14,700 in Jan for Dynamite.
I didn't even see a merch table until we were leaving XD.
Jim … they book the smallest arena St. Louis , Missouri and still can’t book it out
I literally laughed out loud when Jim said it’s like AEW kicked a gypsy. 😂
