UK Kat Von D Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I don’t have an issue with how the attitude era has been used for the match because it makes sense. The All In match was about his Dad and now the second match is with his brother. Sure you could tell a story without mentioning the most important part of Dustin’s career, but can’t begrudge them for using this story for this match. I enjoyed the promo and I enjoyed the one Dustin did. I also really liked how he mentioned both The Rock and Punk, probably knowing it will encourage rumours and speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I though Cody was a delusional idiot and bad wrestler and that AEW is doomed for failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It's a shit way to build the match. You've got two brothers, sons of a legend, who've taken rather different paths in wrestling, who had vastly different relationships with their father, and instead you talk about people that aren't ever going to appear on your show. It's not so much that Cody mentions the Attitude Era but that what he's saying has bugger all to do with Goldust. He could talk about Dustin selling his name and whoring his integrity to become Goldust or about him hiding behind the face paint or anything but it's not even that. Instead the build for this match is that Attitude Era guys are washed up, that the current guys are better, that a promo from years ago was better than even older promos and that the women are now allowed to wrestle beyond bra and panties in the WWE. Weirdly it mentions what the WWE is doing right while also suggesting that one of AEW's main matches is a dead horse from an era of shit wrestlers. You can't even call it lazy because it's so over written. It's like people sat around trying to work out how to get Attitude Era, The Rock, CM Punk and Bra and Panties in a promo. Maybe that's overly critical but that promo actually talked me out of the one potential storyline that I thought might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be fresh and new but it's and interesting and intelligent acquisition. Someone with name value, experience and great ability. At this point given some are moaning about booking their mates, some are moaning about booking indy nobodies and some are moaning about booking a guy like Dustin, I don't think they can win. Fortunately, they don't sem to care and are just cracking on which is sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, they don't sem to care and are just cracking on which is sensible. I agree it's all about putting on a good product and selling matches people might want to watch but one of the biggest criticisms against TNA was that they changed things so much and so often that you could never get behind the "identity" of the company - Elite pushing themselves as a new refreshing direction but using guys like Dustin and JR screams that they haven't figured out what they want to be. Unless they want to be 1PW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
