Alright bros, I’ve been watching this All Elite Wrestling thing for a while now and I’ve come to a conclusion that this isn’t wrestling, it’s a live-action stunt show with a ref standing around for decoration. Where’s the storytelling? Where’s the heat? Where’s the guy in the crowd screaming YOU SOLD OUT while the heel smirks? Instead, we get>17 superkicks in a row>a Canadian Destroyer on the apron that gets a 2-count>a guy doing a triple moonsault to the outside while the opponent politely waits to catch him>Promos that sound like they were written by a D&D groupI’m not saying it’s bad entertainment, it’s flashy, it’s athletic, it’s impressive. But is it wrestling? Nah. Wrestling is about making you believe the fight matters, not just chaining together highlight reel spots until the bell rings. AEW is basically Cirque du Soleil with a championship belt and weird paki for an owner.
Alright. Happy for you coming to this conclusion, not sure it needed a thread.
>>21148051aew is fucking lame and gay. That's why nobody watches it.
>>21148051>Where’s the guy in the crowd screaming YOU SOLD OUTWell... AEW and selling out don't exactly mesh
>>21148057I see nothing but facts.
>>21148051Very orginal post, OP. I've never heard any of those talking points before. I'm sure you actually watched the show and formed these opinions all on your. You have convinced me to no longer watch AEW. Well done. I'll see you Friday night in the Smackdown gamethread so we can watch REAL wrestling together.
>>21148051Many have come to this conclusion.
>>21148051>moonsault to the outside while the opponent politely waits to catch him>Promos that sound like they were written by a D&D groupThat's all crappy modern wrestling

>>21148051AEW is basically Chirakia and Pwg and DDT.Basically a Circus and Tony’s the owner who will force them to perform or he’ll have them blacklisted.And Circuses haven’t been relevant since the 1950s.
