There’s a reason for that. AEW continues to find ways to improve upon some of their own already staggering standards of PPV quality. If it’s not your thing, fine. Don’t see the point in denigrating others for simply enjoying the content. I would say AEW is about as enjoyable right now as any period of wrestling, for me, dating back to the early 1990s. Is the weekly television excellent? No. But everything is being built enough and the bell to bell action is about as satisfying as I’ve ever seen. That’s just me. I don’t do Reddit. I don’t do old man wrestling podcasts that gatekeep. I just fan. People dismissing AEW because of something someone else said about it is sad. It leaves those people missing out

^ What about that should bother ANYONE? lol. You say you appreciate different opinions…well, do you really? Does it upset you if someone says they’re enjoying AEW’s current product more than any other recent era? Does it bother you if someone feels that gatekeeping causes people to spend more time talking about what they hate rather than what they enjoy? Does it bother you if I say that podcasters engage in that intentionally because the drama drives engagement? Why not just say, “hey I’m laparkafan and I don’t like it as much”?

You may want to continue the “rivalry” and all that with American Dragon. I’m not interested in it. I don’t care if you think WWE is better, worse, or somewhere close to the same. I don’t come here to stoke the flames of some ideological war. I’m here to talk about a pastime of mine.

That’s fine I appreciate the rational dialogue

I would think the E crowd would have enjoyed last night’s show more than normal. The only blood was from a hard way bump by Darby. Only the tag title match had any real cartoony violence.

Take-Okada was great. swerve-Bandido was amazing once it warmed up. Darby and Max have great chemistry. I didn’t care for the Stampede match as there were just too many people.

I think it was probably a top five or ten AEW PPW.

Yes I think for 20+ years.

Yes I think for 20+ years.

A blood rule? For wrestling? I assume the rule is no blood?

Yeah it kept Kentucky from being able to host wrestling for a long time, because there was a fear of color happening during the matches.

No kidding? Had no idea. I remember going to Rupp back in the day for Raw and Nitro and all that. Speaking of Nitro, is that dude still around?

No he’s banned and rightfully so.

waste of space on the forum. Did nothing but try to fight everyone. He came at me and I reported it. He hasn’t been back since. I don’t regret for a single second.

I can’t say for sure that my reporting put him out, but I know a lot of people were sick of his drama.

Good. I’m pretty sure I put him on ignore so I wasn’t sure if that was it or not. Thank God. A couple more I wish would get out of here too.

So you won the main event?

I can buy AEW PPV's being great but I've heard that almost every PPV is one of their best of all time and seen fans claim that like 47 Dynamites are top five for the year that the constant hype is just...silly? The passion is certainly there but it reminds me of a young movie fan claiming everything they see is a masterpiece. Someone on Reddit called the crowd last night generational. Why can't it just be an amazing crowd that made the show even better? It's gotta be generational and one we'll tell our grandchildren about.

Why can't you just accept AEW is putting on a high quality product while WWE is serving you slop on a weekly basis? Maybe try jumping ship so you can see what a high quality wrestling product is.

Dragon literally copied Reddit posts - no original thoughts then tries race/political/derogotory extremes in order to incite people. It’s literally embarrassing and at the intellectual level of a GED student.

He is spiraling out because his beloved WWE is putting out soulless AI slop on the regular and he can't handle that AEW is on fire.

I really don’t care about the WWE vs AEW stuff. I like AEW. That’s it. I like my wrestling. I don’t have disdain or care what WWE is doing.

Trust me. He’ll be back. Probably already is
