As crazy as it sounds, the best and worst thing about Darby Allin is that he seems to feel like the fans don't get their money's worth unless he nearly dies. He's had some incredible matches and some amazing moments, but he's a ticking time bomb. I think he feels the same way Mick Foley felt for a majority of Mick's career. Luckily for Foley, someone (probably Vince) finally convinced him that he's got enough talent and charisma to not be risking his life every time he steps inside a wrestling ring, and then Mick went on to make more money pulling a smelly sock out of his tights than he ever did wrestling with barb wire and getting set on fire. Someone needs to remind Darby that the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Yup it was Vince, he went to Mick after the Hell in the Cell match. Told him to never do anything that dangerous again. Sadly from what I'm seeing, Tony Khan won't tell Darby not to dangerous stuff. Only person might be Sting, but again how long do we got till Sting retires.
Darby does it because that’s the only way people would care about his matches. He can’t wrestle, has no basics and is small as ever… Darby is doing this to make up for all the disadvantages.
@@symbiotegod2069 If Tony Khan were smart (emphasis on "smart") he'd move Darby Allin into a booker/agent position but the only way that works is it would have to be Sting who'd talk to Darby on Khan's behalf about doing just that.
After seeing the returns of Dennis Rodman and Karen Jarrett, I’m 99.9% certain that Vince “Bro” Russo is secretly working for Tony Khan like he secretly did for Dixie Carter
They have their own Russo in Jericho. He's been cutting Russos promo for the last ten years. "If I didn't have Vince telling me no all my ideas would make great tv"
At this point I’m starting to think Tony was working with the Bucks to get rid of Punk because the guys who started the mess got raises and the guy who was getting messed with got fired. Explain how TK wasn’t in on it.
And to think punk was aew’s biggest draw. Imagine if wwe during the attitude era fired Austin over something trivial. Or if they fired John cena during ruthless aggression over trivial issues. Never get rid of your biggest draw unless someone else surpasses them.
@@klawstecno2083 he made it sound like punk had stolen Arn Anderson’s glock put it to his (khan’s) forehead and was ready to spill his brains on the floor.

Elite fans don’t see anything wrong with the product 🤣🤣🤣I swear I’m a Bucks fan but even i can see the fucking light on their bullshit, the more I listen to Cornette the more I understand his hatred for them.
Cause they want to build a new team? Or cause they had a 15 min tag match? Or cause a champion is trying to elevate the division? What the fuck are you crying about boy?
I knew they wanted to find a way to get Punk out, because he was basically removed from all the wrestler collages in the video game.. he was treated like Cody when he was supposed to be the face of it, yet, the Elite are front and center
I found it odd that he wasn't included in any of the in game graphics or loading screens. I understand the boxes were printed in advance so I took no issue with his exclusion, but I was surprised the games opening splash screen didn't include him, at all.
Didn't tony khan bash wwe in the early days of aew for confiscating fan signs!? Lol I remember he was all coked out and he said you can wear whatever you want to an aew show!!! I don't remember where it was but I specifically remember him saying something along those lines
To add to Darby Allins character you make him begin to care about what happens to himself. You have a heel come out and cut a promo trying to save Darby from himself. You can have the heel say something about having a family or just being able to WALK away from the business. Darby obviously ignores the wise words and over a couple of months becomes a little fearful of what will happen to his body. He can add to his move set and evolve as a character at the same time.
He's not a wrestler, he's a stunt man. He's never going to have character development in any meaningful way as long as tony is in charge of developing characters. Maybe he'll be someone's friend? Oh wait he just did that... Well I'm out of ideas. lolz
I feel like if they were going to do this, they have to do it right now with Christian. He's the only character that would realistically say that to Darby and not have it be forced. Because Darby basically destroying his neck and body every week almost deliberately has to be brought up at some point.

Crowd sweetening. Taking signs away from fans and making them take off their shirts. Not having wrestlers that were on the advertised card. You became the very thing you swore to destroy, fellas.
This so called ppv. Felt like random episode of Dynamite and Rampage. Not worth $50 Like I say always. Ever since Cody left this company has gone downhill. But Tony rather listen to backyard fake wrestlers. Instead of the professionals. Like Cody and Punk. I may not like Punk. But I even see Punk bought in some professionalism. That is needed in AEW.
The most baffling thing about this whole card for me is the AEW fans acting like Lana showing up is some huge deal. Like she actually means anything or will draw any money. She's nice to look at, but as far as anything else wrestling wise, she is just mediocre. She can't wrestle, she's at best okay on the mic and, if her time in WWE is any indicator, she is a heat magnet. But there were fans gushing over how amazing it is that Lana is finally in AEW. She's just another hot blonde in a company with like 3 or 4 other interchangeable hot blondes already.
The funny thing about going for an "MMA style badass finish" where they're in a hold forever - that's entirely different from MMA. Most times, the instant an armbar or choke is sinched in, they'll immediately tap if they know they can't escape. Some will "hold strong" and force a ref stop rather than tap. And being in a hold and screaming? Nope. In MMA, if I slap a heel hook on and you scream out - it's stopped immediately as a verbal tapout, if the ref does his job. So these badass MMA finishes are coming from a movie theatre near you rather than the UFC
Darby Allin is a good example of guys who will fail in the major leagues because they can't get out of an indy mindset. I don't blame them for not pushing Danielson as hard. It seems like, everytime his star is back on the rise, he gets himself injured by being reckless.
Was an even a month ago that they passed a set of role, saying no more power drivers of any kind. An hour, everybody's doing tombstones left , right and center?
False finishes only work when they're done at the right time. When they're done 10-15 times a match, it kills the match. But AEW fans are easily entertained, so it doesn't really matter. They'll cheer for anything.
Good for Brian on pushing back slightly on Omega these days. I know he’ll never convince Jim that Kenny is even decent but I like that he’s not afraid to disagree a little.
It is so surreal to be denied access to the worst major wrestling promotion in the world because your shirt has a real wrestler on it. Like Harvey Kietel said: you'd be doing me a fucking favor.
Brian's Mox/Pockets explanation is actually describing how Zoomerz watch "entertainment." ADHD riddled, random, bland/non characters doing excitable shit in an excitable manner, with no rhyme, reason, or logic, and basically the equivalent of white noise in comparison to what came before it. Like the garbage "Minion" movies. Idiocracy with sensory overload. So pretty much a fart movie with Michael Bay explozunz. That's the Zoomeriffic way Pro Wrestling turned into a stunt show with cewl movez. And that's what AEW has become.
Seems like they are all out of ideas, using an old "beef" from nearly 4 years ago to justify his current beef with Samoa Joe. The issue I have with AEW is most matches/feuds seem to have little to no building behind the fight. They just bump into each other, maybe do one promo each, fight then go their separate ways. MJF is running out of guys to feud with and he hasn't even started his babyface run yet. They need to change it up in my opinion, but I know very little about the business so I could be wrong, it just feels that way.
You are so correct.. The biggest problem with AEW is that they did 90 percent of their matches in the first 2.5 years. Outside of maybe Swerve vs MJF, and I don’t wanna see Orange Asshole be MJF. So it’s limited.
@@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS cole was the last big star to leave to go there and it was more because his wife was there if nothing else. Joe is a star but he left limping. Cole was red hot when he left. They can keep breaking the fourth wall but after a while it loses it’s aurora. AEW will cancel collision within the next year and they will be back to 2 programs. Tony needs either to let Jeff Jarrett assist with the story telling and push these EVPs back in the ring to draw some Money.
The only enjoyment I get from AEW is hearing Corny pick them apart. However, its getting to a point where I don't even want to hear about this promotion.
I’ll be heading to Victory Road 2023 and the 1000th episode of NWA/TNA/IMPACT tonight and tomorrow in NY should be a good card maybe Jim and Brian will review impact’s weekend
Kinda surprised Jim and Brian didn’t enjoy this ppv more. By no means was it perfect, but it was largely one of the most serious and straight forward/no bullshit ppv’s AEW has put on. No CM Punk definitely sucked, but after that whole situation a show like this was exactly what AEW needed. Not a lot of gimmicks, but instead just putting on strong matches. And for the most part, they delivered on that IMO.
It's too bad the crowd in Chicago didn't hijack the show with CM Punk chants throughout the night. It would have been like the Great American Bash in 1991 when people kept chanting, "We want Flair" the whole night after he was canned by Jim Herd and left with the belt.
The neck injury is important. Because if/when Adam Cole (who caused the injury) turns, he can attack the neck to be extra cunty. It's a good angle as long as it plays out. Although the amount of new merchandise they seem to be bringing out suggests it won't end soon.
I will give one thing to the Elite: they’re clearly loyal to each other no matter what. Among Punk’s biggest weaknesses in this drama, he was never good at making and maintaining close friendships, and as much as plenty of people in AEW did respect him and listen to his advice, they weren’t that loyal to the point of sticking with him. A good life lesson for why having friends is important, and it’s not healthy to burn bridges every time you don’t get along.
Tony Khan is a terrible booker I mean who books the Trios titles to be defended in a random pointless match the night before supposedly a big PPV defence thou equally pointlessly booked but in the end just shows he is clueless but then he regularly just books title matches for no reason just for the hell of it... Tony Khans booking is just someones who had the old WWE games where he has created all the wrestlers he can and just randomly books matches he wants to see regardless of any reasoning for them to take place... Someone needs to tell Tony Khan that all these pointless defences don't make his champions look strong and doesn't give his titles any prestige or credibility...
AEW's worst enemy has been, is and will always will be Tony Khan. He puts performers in the position of being "VP's" which creates a conflict of interest, he hires alot of indie performers who simply arent ready(and may never will be?)to carry a company or be put in a top spot, he undercuts the few people that are/were in the company that actually bring in money, he's letting the one legit star, now that Punk is gone, in MJF die on the vine and has no idea how to book. And that's just a few of the problems he's created. Waste of Daddy's money. AEW's problems were there well before CM Punk signed on and will be present even with him gone. I'm just waiting to see who Khan, the so-called elite and Meltzer will blame now for the company's F Up's now that he's is no longer there? Punk's better off without AEW.
@joshgeiger8942 I totally hear you! I was really excited when they came on the scene and was totally hopeful that they would be a positive alternative to WWE. I think competition can give way to some great programming but they seem to be fumbling the ball more often than not. How long they last lies in the ratings and Tony Khan's Dad's willingness to keep pumping money into a subpar investment. All I know is I'm done with them!

I'm not really into wrestling anymore, though I read a few things online. Decided to pirate this PPV, or the second half of it anyway. This is genuinely the second time I've sat down and watched anything AEW related. I really enjoyed the Omega match. Yeah, full of high spots, but at least it looked like they were going at it, and Takeshita was really laying it into him, which looked great. The 8 man tag was just a clusterfuck with bad camerawork. Young Bucks are boring and contrived, and the match in general was chaotic in a bad way. I don't "get" Orange Cassidy. He looks like some dude they pulled off the street, and his gimmick is apparently that he's boring? At least Lance Storm had funny dance moves. I don't give a shit about Moxley, he looks like a schlub these days, but Cassidy just looked weak the entire match, and that kick flurry thing looked terrible. And what's with all the singalong entrance music. It's so hokey. Some kind of Reddit mark shit?
By the time MJF has finished up with his contract he’d have pretty much gone through the whole roster. And there really is nothing for him to achieve. Wembley is as good as it gets for him in that company. There’s not much else he can achieve or do for the company.
Joe should be careful front-face locking guys, the last wrestler to do that got canned, I heard it was “violent” and “life threatening”
Your mom likes it
Why do you think Joe did that specific move?

Hey Jim, we still have a Dairy Barn in South Bend Indiana
False finishes only work when they're done at the right time. When they're done 10-15 times a match, it kills the match.
But AEW fans are easily entertained, so it doesn't really matter. They'll cheer for anything.
I'm still waiting for AEW's next ppv
ALL SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT.
Lol
Brilliant
I heard the next one is called AEW Tony's Wetdream
Highest of highs and lowest of lows ALL IN one week.
Where's WALDROW
Good for Brian on pushing back slightly on Omega these days. I know he’ll never convince Jim that Kenny is even decent but I like that he’s not afraid to disagree a little.
Brian's always spoke highly of Omegas matches with Okada tbh
My dream would have been to see MJF in a 2023 legend killer run. Have him demolish Sting, Dustin and CMP to make him the most hated heel ever!
Starks would be great for that
Luckily i only see this shit on botchamania
That's the only time I see any current wrestling.
Good way to pass the time at work
Im surprised a CM Punk shirt HASNT got more writing when you turn it inside out lol
If Keith Lee physically recovers this might be the right time to pair him back up with Shane Taylor.
It is so surreal to be denied access to the worst major wrestling promotion in the world because your shirt has a real wrestler on it. Like Harvey Kietel said: you'd be doing me a fucking favor.
I was at All Out. A lot of people wearing cm punk shirts. A guy in the front row camera side was wearing his the whole show.
I had a dream Cash Wheeler, Big Bill, and the Young Bucks in an 8 man tag team called Money Gang vs the Don Phallus Phamily.
Brian's Mox/Pockets explanation is actually describing how Zoomerz watch "entertainment."
ADHD riddled, random, bland/non characters doing excitable shit in an excitable manner, with no rhyme, reason, or logic, and basically the equivalent of white noise in comparison to what came before it. Like the garbage "Minion" movies. Idiocracy with sensory overload. So pretty much a fart movie with Michael Bay explozunz.
That's the Zoomeriffic way Pro Wrestling turned into a stunt show with cewl movez. And that's what AEW has become.
7:13 AMEN to this. Add the like 50 flips and kicks and it gets old very fast
Seems like they are all out of ideas, using an old "beef" from nearly 4 years ago to justify his current beef with Samoa Joe. The issue I have with AEW is most matches/feuds seem to have little to no building behind the fight. They just bump into each other, maybe do one promo each, fight then go their separate ways. MJF is running out of guys to feud with and he hasn't even started his babyface run yet. They need to change it up in my opinion, but I know very little about the business so I could be wrong, it just feels that way.
You are so correct.. The biggest problem with AEW is that they did 90 percent of their matches in the first 2.5 years. Outside of maybe Swerve vs MJF, and I don’t wanna see Orange Asshole be MJF. So it’s limited.
They use WWE lore and segments to promote AEW continuity.
@@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS cole was the last big star to leave to go there and it was more because his wife was there if nothing else. Joe is a star but he left limping. Cole was red hot when he left. They can keep breaking the fourth wall but after a while it loses it’s aurora. AEW will cancel collision within the next year and they will be back to 2 programs. Tony needs either to let Jeff Jarrett assist with the story telling and push these EVPs back in the ring to draw some
Money.
"corpse referee" really caught me offguard lmao
Then you don't listen often
@@Sky_Blaze alright fanperson, chill out🙃actually I listen more often than I'd care to admit, but clearly not as much as some, thank goodness
The ref grabbed the screwdriver, maybe the ref needed a drink.
The only enjoyment I get from AEW is hearing Corny pick them apart. However, its getting to a point where I don't even want to hear about this promotion.
Can't wait for Orange Cassidy to take the title off MJF
Thank God. I thought I was the only person who thinks Moxley sucks. I dont understand his popularity.
I’ll be heading to Victory Road 2023 and the 1000th episode of NWA/TNA/IMPACT tonight and tomorrow in NY should be a good card maybe Jim and Brian will review impact’s weekend
No.
I doubt they will but still, I'd rather watch their product than anything AEW's giving us now. Might actually check out Victory Road myself.
I went to a TNA show back in like 2006. There were more people on the card than in the crowd.
Kinda surprised Jim and Brian didn’t enjoy this ppv more. By no means was it perfect, but it was largely one of the most serious and straight forward/no bullshit ppv’s AEW has put on. No CM Punk definitely sucked, but after that whole situation a show like this was exactly what AEW needed. Not a lot of gimmicks, but instead just putting on strong matches. And for the most part, they delivered on that IMO.
Strong matches? What were you watching?
@@jinmochizuki When you can make a legit case for 3 or 4 matches being the best match of the night, you know the match quality must be good.
I don't remember hearing that Adam or Kenny did a victory lap after punk was fired. Wonder why these guys don't get the shit on them? Thats why.
It's too bad the crowd in Chicago didn't hijack the show with CM Punk chants throughout the night. It would have been like the Great American Bash in 1991 when people kept chanting, "We want Flair" the whole night after he was canned by Jim Herd and left with the belt.
CM Punk is too good for All Friends Wrestling.
There's no reason why any wrestler shouldn't look as good as Bobby Eaton I mean it's all there why you shouldn't sell as good as mr. Perfect
Corny you better make "I feared for my life" T shirts😂😂😂
All out of ideas. Pretty much.
Has been since the first few months of aew. Sam repetitive bad crap for 4 straight years.
I was very confused when the PPV after All Out was named All In
like "What? It's on again"
obviously not 80,000 In wembly but an entertaining show
Like watching cement dry...
Could somebody time stamp these reviews for each match
The neck injury is important. Because if/when Adam Cole (who caused the injury) turns, he can attack the neck to be extra cunty. It's a good angle as long as it plays out. Although the amount of new merchandise they seem to be bringing out suggests it won't end soon.
Time for Impact reviews instead of AEW
Impact is actually entertaining these days.
Tapping on the adjustment could be looked at as he knew what was about to happen and wanted no part of it.
I will give one thing to the Elite: they’re clearly loyal to each other no matter what.
Among Punk’s biggest weaknesses in this drama, he was never good at making and maintaining close friendships, and as much as plenty of people in AEW did respect him and listen to his advice, they weren’t that loyal to the point of sticking with him.
A good life lesson for why having friends is important, and it’s not healthy to burn bridges every time you don’t get along.
Takeshita was phenomenal
Everyday when im at work and this video it perfect to start today off
Brian is a Closet Omega superfan
Tony Khan is a terrible booker I mean who books the Trios titles to be defended in a random pointless match the night before supposedly a big PPV defence thou equally pointlessly booked but in the end just shows he is clueless but then he regularly just books title matches for no reason just for the hell of it... Tony Khans booking is just someones who had the old WWE games where he has created all the wrestlers he can and just randomly books matches he wants to see regardless of any reasoning for them to take place... Someone needs to tell Tony Khan that all these pointless defences don't make his champions look strong and doesn't give his titles any prestige or credibility...
I enjoy you guy's reviews of these shows than the shows themselves.
Thanks guys for watching Awful as Ever Wrestling so most of us don't have to.
Pockets got a standing ovation, so yeah I think Chicago will forgive him.
AEW's worst enemy has been, is and will always will be Tony Khan. He puts performers in the position of being "VP's" which creates a conflict of interest, he hires alot of indie performers who simply arent ready(and may never will be?)to carry a company or be put in a top spot, he undercuts the few people that are/were in the company that actually bring in money, he's letting the one legit star, now that Punk is gone, in MJF die on the vine and has no idea how to book. And that's just a few of the problems he's created. Waste of Daddy's money. AEW's problems were there well before CM Punk signed on and will be present even with him gone. I'm just waiting to see who Khan, the so-called elite and Meltzer will blame now for the company's F Up's now that he's is no longer there? Punk's better off without AEW.
How long before AEW folds....that's really my only question now. It really bums me out. So much promise not that long ago.
@joshgeiger8942 I totally hear you! I was really excited when they came on the scene and was totally hopeful that they would be a positive alternative to WWE. I think competition can give way to some great programming but they seem to be fumbling the ball more often than not. How long they last lies in the ratings and Tony Khan's Dad's willingness to keep pumping money into a subpar investment. All I know is I'm done with them!
@@joshgeiger8942 Depends on how long WBD is willing to put up with TK's horseshit.
@@joshgeiger8942what AEW needs IS booker/fixer and good one somwbody WHO had doe ewerythibg in wrestling business and thatbis Dutch Mantell i think only he or Jim Cornette Gould Fix AEW
A lot of this sounds like Mcmahon’s with WWE for how many years…
Try substituting disco inferno for every f-bomb there's thrown during this and it might be a little bit funny
Is it just me or does aew all of a sudden feel really dead? No hype or anything just a couple interesting highlights to watch like mjf thats it
Is it Christmas? Woke up to 5 new videos 😂
All in should be in January and All Out should be in December if they did stuff that made sense
How did Corny and Last not mention that Joe pushing MJF was a throwback to them in WWE?
Probably because they didn't need to
Am I the only one who thought that Joe's front facelock was a nod to Punk?
I'm not really into wrestling anymore, though I read a few things online. Decided to pirate this PPV, or the second half of it anyway. This is genuinely the second time I've sat down and watched anything AEW related.
I really enjoyed the Omega match. Yeah, full of high spots, but at least it looked like they were going at it, and Takeshita was really laying it into him, which looked great.
The 8 man tag was just a clusterfuck with bad camerawork. Young Bucks are boring and contrived, and the match in general was chaotic in a bad way.
I don't "get" Orange Cassidy. He looks like some dude they pulled off the street, and his gimmick is apparently that he's boring? At least Lance Storm had funny dance moves. I don't give a shit about Moxley, he looks like a schlub these days, but Cassidy just looked weak the entire match, and that kick flurry thing looked terrible.
And what's with all the singalong entrance music. It's so hokey. Some kind of Reddit mark shit?
For me, i can't go back to wwe. Way to boring and stale! Atleast AEW has more of that attitude era vibe to it
😂😂😂😂
@@kozmicflush980🧢
By the time MJF has finished up with his contract he’d have pretty much gone through the whole roster. And there really is nothing for him to achieve. Wembley is as good as it gets for him in that company. There’s not much else he can achieve or do for the company.
So WWE he goes and debuts in Royal rumble
They didn’t kill Chicago. They didn’t set a singular seat on fire. People still came and people still bought the show on ppv.
They bought the tickets months ago
@@jerrybot your point is? You could sell them. You can no go off principle. They wanted to be there. As Brian alluded to, wrestling fans are fickle
@@AAG_501sell them to who?! 🤣
i was all out for this mess
They are DEFINITELY still selling punk shirts in their shop!
2 Tombstones and a clothesline to finish Darby Allin. AEW in a nutshell.
They will always pop for Darby, no matter how many crazy bumps he does. It will not get old to the aew fans. That’s just reality.
