Nah, say what you want about Cody, and I find him incredibly dull most of the time, but he seems to know how to book himself. The simple fact that he pulled a compelling build and indeed a decent match out of Aldis is indicative enough that this should be decent. He'll have time, short cuts and Dustin to smooth everything over. Didn't their WWE match end in a fuck finish and then they jettisoned the feud altogether?

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2019 do wonder how that kind of match will go down in front of the All Elite crowd. That Meltzer ***** City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crowd are anything like All In it should be decent. I thought the All In crowd were a pleasant surprise to be honest. Much less in it to get themselves over than most NXT or indeed British Indy crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed my cousins poster and took a photo, but would take the money for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted April 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2019 There has certainly been a proportion of Twitter reaction along the lines of it being an "awful WWE style match stuck in the middle of IndyMania". One commenter asked "when was the last time Dustin contributed anything towards an even passable match?" Um, almost certainly the last time he stepped in the ring. Cos he's fucking great.

Yakashi Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Snitsky's back acne said: I never had issue with the things he said until just before Mania he was adamant the winner of the main event would not get both belts. Even after it was announced 'winner take all' he was still saying 'Boy, people are gonna be really pissed when it's not!' and that the winner would not get both titles, just the title of the person they beat. Mania happens. Becky wins both belts. Dave 'Hey, plans change' No, you were wrong. Just admit it. It's okay. What a lot of people don’t seem to understand about Dave, is that he’s just a middle man. Every scoop he comes out with is just what a third party (parties) wants to tell him for their own reasons. He can ask a few people to verify, but at the end of the day he is pretty much never, ever there when any discussions or decisions are made and relies entirely on what other people tell him. Then what he does with that is up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 If in the realms of doing something different, Cody’s “division” is the emotional story told division, then I’m happy to see that in AEW. For all the shouts for an alternative, WWE is still by far the biggest and most watched version of wrestling. Aew still needs a part of that style, and stuff like the NWA titles meaning to Cody, now the Dustin match, these are things that will draw attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might still read the observer for spoilers/scoops, but anytime I read it it's for news/history. As a wrestling historian he's the best, and for better or worse can delve into any story with more detail and history than anyone else. Whether it's his tributes or him just giving background to something going on just now, his info is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By scoop I would mean spoiler, telling us about whats going to happen.

UK Kat Von D Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 That video package was amazing. That was exactly how “shoot” stuff should be done, because it felt real without having to mention that wrestling isn’t real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Love the line of thinking that two people having a mediocre match booked by one company, wrestling that company’s style means they’ll have the same standard for a different company that they book themselves. Regarding Meltz parroting second hand info, you’re right. It’s up to us what to do with that info but that isn’t journalism, it’s TildeGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
