Or am I just being an old fart about it? I'm not sure the fanbase they have care about the heel face divide. They just want to watch the stuff they like and aren't interested in playing along with what wrestling used to be. Whether aew should keep catering to their existing fanbase is another issue though.

I was half expecting them to announce 12 matches or something to get everyone on the card, glad they haven't done that. (yet at least)
Yakashi Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Just now, The King of Old School said: 1 for the pre show, so 7 on the main card seems about right. I was half expecting them to announce 12 matches or something to get everyone on the card, glad they haven't done that. (yet at least) Well, their roster is pretty tiny, especially as far as people they would want on tv goes. I think most of the guys that have been on tv so far are on the show.
TildeGuy~! Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 They uploaded this on Youtube after Dynamite last night to build the top 3 matches on Saturday, fun watch, think they’ve got the bloke who does the countdown voiceover for Boxing.
The Gaffer Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Seeing 'Chris Jericho's aunts friend from church' say she knew when he was growing up he'd be AEW champion someday was the best part of that fantastic video. What a brilliant, brilliant show. I'm such a fan, now; just following Dynamite and the big shows, with none of the fluff. Angles, matches, the right amount of production, proper arenas and hot crowds. On the road, every week.
The King Of Swing Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 That's a go home show if I ever saw one. My only real gripe is the woman's tag again highlighted the weak state of the division imo. Hayter had been great in AEW but randomly pairing her with Sakura who is a face as far as I'm aware, felt off.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 Emi teamed with Bea Priestley last time she was on TV, so I'd assume she's supposed to be a heel. She'll definitely be working heel against Riho.
The King Of Swing Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 She's not really good at being a heel then. Constantly playing to the crowd and the Freddy Mercury stuff needs binning imo. Not a big deal though.
Merzbow Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 So is Brandi no longer running the womens division? That segment was well shot but I have no idea what she was saying, was it still all aimed at Allie?
The King Of Swing Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Oh yeah there was a Brandi video. Meh.
AdamTH17 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 The best 3:30 of AEW's small history so far. Great show, I thought. Exactly the hot angle they needed to go off the air with. They've done such a brilliant job with Cody and Jericho. As soon as Cody finished his promo, I was sat thinking "fucking hell, that's the guy you want being the face of your show!" - but then as soon as they ran the aforementioned Jericho video I decided he was the absolute best choice. They've done a cracking job building them both up. It's a shame they've introduced the Cody stipulation, because there's still fucking loads of legs in this feud.
Snitsky's back acne Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Hahaha - that video is fucking brilliant! Jericho has been amazing in AEW so far.
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) The Jericho video was posted by me 2 pages back. But personally I think it should be posted on ever page of this thread Edited November 7, 2019 by Hannibal Scorch
The Gaffer Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Had to watch it again. "Chris Jericho's talent is like the Olive Garden breadsticks: Unlimited" The whole video is the kind of thing you'd screencap and quote for your forum signature years ago. How many things in wrestling make you want to do that anymore? You'd want your mates in the room when it's on.
WyattSheepMask Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) The only trick missed in the whole video was being unable to call him Virgil so they could have ‘Wrestling Superstar’ underneath. Otherwise, utterly brilliant Edited November 7, 2019 by WyattSheepMask
