Paid Members Supremo Posted December 24, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 Can a tournament count as the angle of the year? Because if it can, that’s what the Continental Classic has been. Absolute home run. Great show. Danielson and Claudio tearing it up. My boy Daniel Garcia finally picking up his win. My boy Eddie Kingston bringing it back, getting his rematch with that cocky prick who called him a bum. This visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering AEW was being written off after All In and Punks departure, the last month or so of AEW TV, led with the CC has been a swift 2 fingers up at the critics. Just brilliant TV and both Dynamite and Collision this week were fantastic TV from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just brilliant TV and both Dynamite and Collision this week were fantastic TV from start to finish. With the devil angle, the presence of Ric Flair and other problematic individuals, Miro/CJ , bad comedy, the regularity of ‘spooky’ stuff and the treatment of women’s wrestling, I wouldn’t rush to hold up those two fingers just yet. No one has criticised the quality of wrestling on AEW. It’s consistently excellent - more excellent wrestling doesn’t invalidate any of the good faith criticism that has been levelled at the company. I don’t think it’s healthy for any company to look at criticism and say ‘well, we did a good job here!’ - at the end of the day, the tournament will end and the issues will remain. They should absolutely keep doing what they do well, but they shouldn’t use that to shield themselves from the very real problems they have.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 24, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 Andrade coming out looking with the physique of a Greek God, perfect hair and shiny gear while an absolutely exhausted, nervous, looking out of shape Eddie Kingston in his crappy old gear is exactly the type of visual storytelling wrestling should be all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 24, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 The Continental Classic is up there as one of the best things they’ve ever done. That shit-eating grin from Danielson. What a dickhead. I hope Kingston rips his other eye out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69MeDon Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I don't want the C2 to end. It's been so good. It's also *really* helped Collision in particular. At one point before the C2 started, Collision was looking like a two-hour live Rampage, but the entire time through the tournament it's been as good if not better than Dynamite. Plus: crowds are bigger and hotter. Good shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the best thing any promotion has done in years. They should put out a collectible Blu-ray of all the matches and promos. I'd be all over it. Danielson vs Kingston next week is going to be bananas. A MOTY re-match with incredible story and emotion behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted December 24, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 Bryan is just an absolutely tremendous prick. From the shit eating grin to the cocky attitude, he's just marvelous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Wish I could see all these great promos by just watching the weekly shows and not having to seek out the AEW twitter page for the "exclusive". I know they show snippets on the show sometimes, but not the full ones and some not at all. You shouldn't have to seek out Twitter to be able to see good promos, get them on the bloody weekly shows, you've got enough hours! Like since Full Gear, two of the biggest matches involved Swerve and Jay White, and if you only watch the TV shows since, you've pretty much heard nothing whatsoever from Jay White and about 30 seconds of Swerve. Yet Swerve is delivering gold if you seek out Twitter. It's so frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 24, 2023 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2023 Quick Continental question - Eddie advances to the final but he had the same number of points as Andrade, didn’t he? But in the Gold league Swerve and Jay White had the same number of points but they both advanced? Did I miss the easy explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Swerve, Jay White, and Mox all beat each other, but Kingston beat Andrade so that is how the tie is settled. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
