Other AEW shows discussion (Dark, Elevation, BTE, whatever else)


Recommended Posts

I'm adding this here under the "whatever else" banner. I'm a fairly recent convert to AEW. For various reasons, I just didn't have the time or energy to get on board with it when it started but having checked it out it's much better than some of the analysis and sentiment from some quarters would suggest. I still don't have heaps of time, but I want to keep up with the current product and catch up on some of the stuff I've missed as I gather there have been some real highlights, especially on PPV. I'd greatly appreciate answers to a couple of questions -

What TV is must see in terms of making sure I don't miss any exceptional matches? Are there any shows i can afford to skip? What should be the priority? 

Is there much value in watching TV from the past? Is there a run of shows that made for exceptional television, or any great matches that weren't on PPV. There's a lot I'm not going to see of course, but if there's anything that stands out, that would be great.

Finally, are there any PPVs that stand out? Any world class matches on an otherwise unassuming card? Are there any turkeys that are so bad there's no value in watching them? Watching them all isn't out of the question, and just now I'm leaning towards watching them in chronological order, but if a case can be made for an alternative I'd happy to hear it. 

One more thing actually, is the streaming service worth paying for? I think I'm right in saying that Dynamite is on ITV, with current Collision and Rampage shown on Triller. I think as well that you get older PPVS on the service? I don't mind paying for Wrestling even if there's an alternative, especially when a promotion could use any revenue it gets. Are there any alternatives to Triller?

Apologies for the "hatched out an egg yesterday, who's your favourite Wrestler" stuff but any steer on where to start and where to focus would be very much appreciated.

TV wise - Dynamite and Collision. Dynamite for the big angles, Collision for carefree fun. Rampage is skippable most weeks.

The TV from July 2021 to May 2022 is some of the best wrestling TV you'll ever see.

PPV wise AEW is insanely consistent and high level. Every PPV from last year except World's End is a cracker. Revolution from this year was fantastic.

@Donald J Trump it would be remiss to not recommend Hey EW where RJ City interviews a different person each show. Particular highlights are Regal and Shida but they don’t often miss 

also Collision and Rampage are also on ITV, but personally I think Triller is a still to get all the older episodes.

They're a fun act. I liked them as comedy heel jobbers but more recently they've been even better as comedy babyface jobbers. Gutted that Dalton Castle got injured as they were immediately showing great chemistry as a trio. Hard not to root for Turbo Floyd in particular.

I've been skipping Outrunners matches but I won't anymore, these guys were great fun on Hey! (EW)!

This'll be where I've gone wrong with the 'shit but I love them' post. I only ever see them on main programing so only ever see them lose matches.
