Did anyone just see Cody's promo? Man that was good!

[AuburnSoldier 117]

Tonight was my first AEW experience. Good show all around. Even the ladies seemed faster, more fluid, and less choreographed than WWE. 

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

Moxley and Omega, Damn that was intense.

[AUBwins 10,075]

That lights out match was one for the ages.  Incredible.

The announce crew for AEW makes the entire night so enjoyable to watch. That create an incredible vibe to listen to. Great balance throughout the night of stuff you like and stuff you don't regarding the results. Great show.

Yup! And now it’s not as easy to tell that Jim Ross doesn’t like the Flippy Dippy stuff. On older broadcasts you could hear him complaining.

War Games was entertaining. Survivor series is shaping up to be good as well.  What surprises do we see?

Ryan McKinnell of Busted Open Radio is reporting that Tessa Blanchard is done with IMPACT Wrestling, and could be heading to either WWE or AEW.

Blanchard is without doubt one of the most gifted wrestlers on the planet, and is one of IMPACT’s biggest stars, so her departure will have a huge impact on the promotion if the report is true.

Tessa Blanchard’s contract with IMPACT is apparently up. Does she stay or does she go?

I’m certainly not one to say. However, I can’t help but feel like the AEW’s women’s division could use a kick. And let’s not forget, that’s where Tully is. Seems like a natural fit, no?

While WWE would probably be able to offer her more money, there is a rather personal reason that could convince her to choose AEW. Her daddy.

Tully Blanchard is working as a manager for Shawn Spears on AEW at the moment, so his influence could be huge in convincing Tessa to sign.

She would be great for AEW women's division.  The boost they need to put it near the top.  Hopefully her dad working there will push her in that direction.

Enjoyed AEW this week despite not a whole lot going on. Just good storytelling. Haven’t seen WWE at all yet this week. 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

I've missed a ton lately.  Been working too much.  But a buddy of mine at work, who does not care about wrestling at all, loves him some Luchasaurus!

[AUBwins 10,075]

His character is so unique, what's not to love?  I love the entire faction.  AEW has been a lot of fun. That's the only show I try to watch every week.  

[gr82be 14,423]

I no longer keep up with Wrestling but I used to watch in the 80s and 90s and my son sent this to me knowing how much I liked Randy Savage. I mean who didn't love the Macho Man.

Love Alexa and love this ..

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

Be interesting to see the ratings when Dynamite comes back on 1/1/20. Hopefully the Dark Order beatdown angle, used to close last nights show,  does not cause people to give up on the promotion.  Add to that the awful Nightmare Collective angle and I can see AEW causing fans to change the channel to nxt or abandoning wrestling completely.

Doubt Vince Russo could come up with something that bad.

Hopefully, during the Christmas hiatus, AEW can resolve some of the issues with their booking and production of the show and come out strong in 2020. I cheering for them to succeed.

Fan freaking tastic! Love this.  Agree that Andrade needs that push.  I see they are finally giving it to him.  Big things coming. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Just watched AEW from this week.  Holy crap that main event was incredible.  Anytime the Young Bucks and Lucha Bros lock up, expect fireworks.  Then add Kenny and Pac, wow.  Everyone made an impact in that match.

Orange Cassidy is the most OVER person in AEW:

I love how he just falls off the top rope at the 1:15 mark.

Haha yea that’s great. I like how he motioned like doing a 450 splash or something, then falls.  He has found a niche and plays it perfectly. I love it. He is actually very helpful to his team, causes a nice distraction. He actually did a few impact moves this week.

Rocks Dad passed away. RIP Rocky!

 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Anyone watch the Jericho Cruise this week?  I thought it was an entertaining show. I thought they did well managing the small areas around the ring, incorporating some high flying maneuvers.   The tag matches were great. PAC has been fantastic.  He and Mox delivered. 

I will say I am disappointed with Britt playing a heel, not the fact she is a heel but she just isn't very good at it right now.  They were running a continuous show and actually went to a break during her promo with Schiavone in the ring.  It was a bad attempt.  Britt is one of my favorites and I think the angle could work but it's something that needs work. 

Still AEW is must watch for me every week.
