Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That's the annoyance about AEW - the builds can quite often be underwhelming but the actual PPV quality and matches are mostly top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I’d say more of an annoyance is tons of people shitting on the product, saying they won’t pay for it and then the morning after the PPV saying how great of a show it was.

It’s similar to the twitter rage about football transfers just now. Everyone thinks things are as Simple as EWR or FM makes them seem in games, translating them to real life isn’t as easy. Sadly I think we are going to see more mixed up confusion with ROH meddling in to promote there ppv next month before we get back to the straightforward ppv build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'll tell you what's really an actual annoyance. Not having a job or income and being depressed. People didn't wanna watch because the company and wrestling itself had a weird month, the TV wasn't exactly amazing and were impatient whingers most of the time. If the build looked guff (which 70%) of it was we should have gone in with iffy expectations to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That was a bloody good show. Who knew I would enjoy OC V Ospreay that much? Everything else was just a shit heap of fun. Well done to everyone involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEW doing a lacklustre job of building PPVs and undercutting the full potential of the revenue they could generate sure sounds like their problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted June 27, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 27, 2022 Had way too little interest in this show to justify paying for it. First time for me with AEW that is. I did check the results out this morning. It sounds like it was great on the night, which wasn't really going to be the problem. The build was shite, the results mostly inconsequential and more than half of the people appearing held no interest for me. Great matches are pretty much a guarantee these days almost anywhere you look. That's stuff we've been criticising WWE for years upon years for. Holding pattern or poor booking, with no new stars with momentum but with good to great matches in isolation. I'm disappointed to learn that there is another ROH PPV so soon, meaning the muddled mess will probably continue for another while. Glad everyone who bought the show enjoyed it though and that it delivered what they were looking. It sounds like the talent hit it out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Really enjoyed it as expected. My main takeaway. It was the first time i've heard Kevin Kelly on comms in years. Which was quite refreshing and was really disappointed to see JR added to the desk later in the show.

King Mal the Glorious Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 JR needs to call it a day, he seemed even more miserable than usual and almost completely killed the fun vibe that Ex/Taz/KK had going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely annoying when a promotion overdelivers to their paying customers. Wrestling needs less of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he started the new Japan shows it made them much more watchable for me, has the knowledge of the wrestlers and their past without over killing it. One aew should really be keeping an eye on him gettinb tired of the long tours over there and get him when he’s available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. I hope the recent ratings leave them thinking twice about risking any significant build-up on AEW TV. I didn't order the show, as I didn't enjoy the build-up. While I'm glad the people that watched it had a good time, I don't particularly want to see Forbidden Door 2, or, for that matter, any further AEW-crossover shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
