I think AEW had the right idea when it was four PPVs a year. They felt like season finales yo the last three months of TV. Now with the quantity over quality, this PPV felt like my bad idea for a card in GM mode in SvR 2007.
@@HispanicPanic23 Wish I wasn't half joking. That Miro/Andrade match is what I'd make when I played that at age 14. "Crap. Two wrestlers are complaining about not being used. Put them in a match together."
I don't agree at all. Three months of television content just dragged on and on until the next PPV. Also, where do you see a fall-off in PPV quality? Just because one event was mediocre (and a lot had to happen for it to be mediocre - Keith Lee injured, Kenny Omega out, Chris Jericho rumors) doesn't devalue the line-up of great PPVs we had this year.
They werent gonna pop for Joe no matter how good he is. That was MJF city and those were his people. At least his interview after the show established the direction he was taking the title. I would like to see them build Miro up to be a legitimate contender and eventual Champion.
I feel bad for all of the legit wrestlers that aren't part of the political shitstorm that is prevelant in AEW that have worked hard to make something of AEW and especially the guys in the 2nd 8 man with Jericho... Sting going out in NYC on a sour note etc.
I think the problem is that Samoa Joe will more than likely be a transitional champion. He's a veteran of the sport, but it would be incredibly risky to give him a long considering his injury history. The best thing aew can do is have him hold the title until Revolution and then have him drop it to Swerve. Now that pop will be crazy.
I would agree its definitely the worst AEW show this year and maybe ever. The hilarious part about this show how hard people are going to try bring in WWE to excuse it. It should good or bad in it's merit, not because WWE has some bad shows in the last 5 years or whatever frame is thrown out.
The funniest thing is Tony would've still drawn those comparisons to try & deflect any sort of blame. Fanning the flames of wrestling tribalism worked when AEW first started, since the WWE product was genuinely ass at the time, but now it's gotten old & just makes everyone who jumps ship look like a bitter ex by association.
The Christian Cage vs Adam Copeland match was awesome! I like the fact that Joe won the belt and the fact that the devil stuff is finally over. The rest of the PPV wasn't that good but that No DQ match was worth it all!
Ehh. At least the Devil's group isn't that random. Adam Cole and Roderick Strong have history, The Kingdom have history with them. Wardlow being part of the group is probably the most random but it makes sense due to him having issues with MJF and can play the enforcer role well.
And it was not a good call leaving Chris Jericho on the card after what happened leading into the show. Good lord, Sting did not need to have this stink on his retirement tour. And Ricky Starks is starting to look checked out of AEW.
If I was too grade World's End it'd be a B-. Not bad, not great but overall passable. To be fair its was only half AEW's fault (because Kenny & Keith being taken out last minute is something beyond their control), but other things like rushed booking is on them. The Good: * Copeland vs Christian was match of the night, great wrestling, great hardcore action, great story telling & the early seeds being planted for a Luchasaurus face turn & going after Christian Cage for the TNT Title was great work by all. * Moxley vs Eddie was the 2nd best match of the night, sometimes you don't need fancy flips just have two popular guys fight old school refusing to lose even basic chop contests can be just as entertaining as anything else (Eddie is one of the most over guys in the company & I can see him being the one to defeat Joe for the World Title down the line). * Samoa Joe winning the World Title was great (even if you all know its because MJF has a injury / bidding war of 2024 storyline to continue) alongside Christian Cage & MJF he's been the best & most consistent wrestler in the company having solid match after solid match. * A small hint of a heel turn for Trent? in the future, seeds being planted for him turning on the best friends are starting. Let's see where this goes. * Toni Storm & her crew, Luther is weirdly a good choice for her butler (considering the cursed storyline with Brandi Rhodes) & doesn't get enough credit for it. The Bad: * Not enough build up for several matches, even Swerve vs Lee felt like it was added last minute & we've been waiting for that match for nearly a year. * No House of Black vs FTR, with all the cancelled matches you'd think they'd put this match on the card. * Cassidy not in action, I mean you have a single champions sitting in the back while your rushing around looking for matches to throw together because of unforeseen circumstances & you didn't include him? You could've had Dustin try to return to the ring, but couldn't then have Swerve issue a open challenge to anyone in the back & have Cassidy answer the call. The Ugly: * Two different 8 man tag matches on 1 card? (They wasn't bad matches but its a odd choice) I get they had to throw something together, but at least have say Don Callis family (Kyle, Hobbs & Takeshita) vs The Acclaimed for the Trios titles. * TBS Title match. The action was okay, but they really didn't take advantage of the House Rules at all. I mean biting is allowed? That's all they could come up with? With two "spooky gimmicks" I was expecting something a little more then biting (I mean we see the likes of MJF & Moxley do it all the time), maybe something like a Coffin match to add something different to the show. I get that its easy being a Arm Chair Booker (T, Sucka! 🤣🤣) & they did the best they could, but hopefully they learn from this & make sure they plan out the feuds with a end point in mind.
Ending was a dusty finish with extra steps. homage to something from your competitor as an excuse for dumb booking is bad. So any positivity that could have been gained from this match was sucked out the room in an instant. Jungle boy cosplaying as Christian still botches like jungle boy though at least he sold the damage relatively okay. Worst part is i have to wonder if its even remotely possible to have any tension or investment in Copeland vs Cage at this point. the writing and pacing was really bad and if the competitors weren't as experienced as they were it would have been worse which is rather sad. Lets hope they can figure it out.
I wish AEW took the time too introduce us too the Japanese wrestlers. I liked the Toni storm match but her opponent I can’t even remember her name and I know nothing of her. Makes her look like a no named rookie in a squash match. Wwe is so good at introducing us too the person repeatedly until you remember the nobody’s from decades ago.
@@DevilSurvivor69 I looked at her Wiki and saw all accomplishments of booked right she could be on Iyo’s level. Also the commentary crew should be rooting and cheering for Riho I feel like all I heard was Toni storm over and over agin. Not good when a underdog is getting squashed while the commentary is putting over Toni . That’s why I had no clue who Riho was.
Honestly this ppv is over hated. Some of it is justified (Jericho shaped elephant in the room) and some of it isn’t (the sheer amount of hatred Riho gets, there were no matches on that were really bad). I think the high standard aew has set with its ppv’s has also contributed. Personally hope that the reset button has been hit for the company for the new year and that the sporting direction they’ve claimed they want to go in takes the right effect.
I disagree about Adam Cole leading a "generic heel stable" He was in The Kingdom before leaving ROH and he and Roddy were in UE. On top of that Roddy and Kingdom have been on TV together. Wardlow has beef with MJF so his inclusion makes sense. The two big things hurting this group is Cole's current injury and if MJF does legit leave, Wardlow might have no purpose in staying with this group.
Changing luchasaurus name to killswitch is fucking stupid. They really screwed up something that could have been huge with young fans and merchandise wise. The Christian Cages bitch storyline was a mistake.
I can't agree because Timeless Toni Storm retained her title, Julia Hart retained her title, and Adam Copeland defeated Christian Cage yet Christian Cage was still able to screw Adam Copeland out of a title run. PS I hope you watched Dynamite last night because Adam Cole's heel faction has a reason to exist and Wardlow is getting an AEW World Championship match.
1. The All Star 8-Man Tag was enjoyable but my only nitpick was that the Blue League didn't fight the Gold League but whatever, it was still a good match 2. Miro vs. Andrade was kinda good, CJ Perry turned on Andrade which was questionable looking back because Miro and CJ split up and Miro is injured currently. It's like the World Ended for these guys (do you get the joke guys? Do you get it World's End?). It also kinda shocked me that he showed up at the Royal Rumble less than a month after leaving because I didn't expect him to come back this quick. 3. Toni Storm is a storytelling goddess. I don't care what you say "This gimmick is boring", "She's a terrible wrestler", she puts on great title matches like a true champion should. 4. I kinda agree that this match should've been cancelled due to Keith's injury. The reason that Dustin filled in was because Dustin was in a partnership months ago with Keith. I was there and legit didn't know whether to cheer Swerve (fan favorite) or Dustin (underdog of AEW). 5. The 2nd 8 Man tag happened because Sammy turned face against the Callis family and joined forces with Jericho. Sting and Darby helped, but the reason it flopped was because the Kylie Rae incident resurfaced the day of and because Jericho is old. At least we saw Sting in his last PPV on LI! This match could've easily been Ricky Starks and Big Bill vs. Le Sex Gods. 6. Julia Hart vs. Abadon was my bathroom break match because at this point in time, it was so god damn hot in the arena. Also I heard this one guy shouting "This match sucks." 7. Christian Cage vs Adam Copeland for the TNT title was EASILY the BEST match of the night. I got a picture of Adam diving off the rafters close to where I was seated. These two were crazy the entire match. People were asking "Why was Luchasaurus there with a contract?" I think AEW should stop booking these kind of matches in the pre-show because not a lot of people made it in the building on time because of the Private Security they hired. Gret segment, but I wish Luchasaurus turned face sooner than now (6 months later) 8. Eddie Kingston was also a bathroom break becsuse it was 11pm and I was done and I also had to go to the bathroom. I was proud of Eddie for winning the match but him losing his title 3 months after to Okada on Dynamite wasn't a good look for him. It's like they said "Ok Okada's turn now!" 9. The pre-entrance video for MJF was poorly made and received, but the actual match was very good. I unfortunately cut out after 10 minutes because I was shot. AEW PPVs should not be 4 hours, and I wish I stayed but I was mentally done. MJF and the Devil storyline ultimately failed because of their injuries. It was really unfortunate because they could've had great matches together.
when I see 4 man tag matches etc. at a ppv, what that says to me is 'we have nothing better for these guys to do', so this is just the easiest way to fill up space on a card. lazy booking, classic Tony Khan
Sigh. I hate to say this, but AEW is starting to look like a modern day WCW; quantity over quality, too many wrestlers with somehow not enough screen time despite AEW having six(!) regular programs, no creativity with the storylines or matches, the same stars in the same positions, piss poor booking of their women's division, same overkill formula in matches. I could go on, but you see the point. I hope they can turn it around and be the promotion of the future that they so desperately want to be.
@@bigjoeofthe707 lmfao this is actually really funny. These people be complaining about a show they don't even watch or knows what's going on there. They just hear someone say it's bad and make their opinion based on it.
@@MrChildYeeter these are complaints that fans have had for about year or so. This is nothing new. Thanks for confirming that you don't know basic reading comprehension.
Calling this the worst AEW PPV is like calling the 92-93’ Bulls are the worst Jordan team to win a championship. Like they still won a ring. For me the worst part of the show was actually Eddie winning. To me that made the entire C2 feel like a complete waste of time. The second Eddie put his titles on the line, we all knew he was winning. No one with any actual brains thought AEW was gonna book Eddie to lose the championship of another promotion. If Eddie was always gonna win, should have never had him put the titles up.
@@Bls-of1ld I’m saying the PPV was still really good, easily a B+ show. We’re just used to AEW PPVs being S tier. Really shows you the stats of WWE and AEW where the “worst” AEW PPV is still better than 99% of every WWE PPV the past decade.
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 I agree. Fans should be grateful for all the alternatives we have right now. People easily forget how terrible WWE was before 2021, and how the competition made them improve their product. While AEW is not having a great time right now, the tide could turn in 2024.
This card kind felt like quaintly over quality personal they shouldn't have Dustin wrestle swerve and remove the second 8 man tag team match it felt f'n weird to watch and we should have gotten Willow vs Satlander in that spot personally, Hook and Julia heart improve greatly from starting the two started from, Mjf being hurt I thought it was a good Idea to put the belt on Joe for the time being is going to be something interesting and I've been loving the Timeless toni storm gimmick, Edge Vs Cage was a great no dq match cannot wait for there rubber the devil reveal simple enough and I love heel Adam cole over face Adam
This just felt wrong with exception of Cage Copeland. All Mox and Eddie was chop each other. I don’t know bout you all but it’s getting real old AEW wrestlers not selling the moves their opponent hits
it wasn't all that bad for me. Copeland vs Cage was sick, and Adam winning that title was a huge moment. the all-star tag also a great match, CC final was superb to watch, the build-up was brilliant, and the hug at the end was very moving. i don't agree at all with calling the devil's group "another random, generic heel stable". Strong, Cole, Taven and Bennett have a lot of story between themselves, and Wardlow just has his reasons to join a group that plans to destroys MJF. and, well, maybe that's Wardlow's chance to get a title match. the only issue is, Cole will propably also go after AEW Championship, so Wardlow leaving the group is propably gonna happen soon
Everything about AEW kinda feels cheap as hell... even people on the crowd are bored. And i kinda hate how much all of the wrestlers just wear black. 😅 like there are not alot of things that distinct them from other wrestlers.
It was indeed a pretty disappointing way to end the year like that. Even the Devil reveal was super predictable, and I couldn't even care less that Eddie Kingston won the Continental Classic Tournament, and became their first triple crown champion. Even the match between Edge and Christian was the absolute worst. He won the TNT title, and lost again to Christian.
A guy coming from another company and now doesn't want to take losses?? Big surprise lol Imagine being signed by AEW and being told you will get a push, and then they sign 10 more guys and tell them the same thing. Who wins??? lol THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AEW.
The finish for the Samoa Joe vs MJF match irked me so much, the ref ruined the finsish so bad, he should've just called the bell in a professional manner (he is the ref after all) but he marks out and pauses, deflated the whole friggin finish.
AEW be confusing the shyt outta me…. Not long ago didn’t the dude Hobbs DESTROY Ricky starks???!!???! Now teaming up with man I can’t trust Wrestlers worth shyt.
This is their weakest PPV they have to tone it down and go back to 4 PPVs a year. We are going to end up having to pay $50 for 4 hour Dynamites every month. This was bad.
The thing that really bothers me is the continental title (very useful, very needed, especially for Kingston), unifying the three gives New Japan more booking power (because it's also THEIR champion, so they will decide who will pin Kingston) and devalues like crazy the ROH world title after Tony has spent so much money, time and efforts to put ROH in the spotlight (at the expense of storyline and the overall quality of the shows), all of that for nothing.
It’s not just the worst aew ppv it’s the worst ppv/ple in. Either well funded company since hhh fully took over. The two multi man tags were blah. Love Julia hart, but she should never be in the ring with anyone who can’t make her look good until she’s ready to be doing that. Thunder was back and ready to go and would have been a ten times better choice and she would have made the champion look worthy of the title. That’s bad booking. Edge and Christian match itself was actually pretty good even with edges limitations. I thought it was his best match since he returned. I think edge wrestling more in aew than he did in wwe is really helping. In the match itself I like the story of edges career that’s was really good. The post match however so contrived and just made everyone look stupid, especially edge. Why would the inventer basically of the cash in not think Christian would use the dinosaur to cash in if he lost. Edge looks dumber than everyone who has lost by interference to Roman the last two years. The dinosaur looks like he’s borderline short bus. Christian is the only coming out of that post match not looking like a complete moron. I think they have to get him away from edge now and move him straight into the title picture because his schtick is on verge of getting stale. They need to take advantage right now and get him fresh opponents. They can always circle back to edge later. Christian would be great for joe and after the long mjf reign a feud where they flip title a few times won’t hurt anything and perhaps will even make the matches a little more exciting and dramatic. Swerve vs Dustin should not have happened. It was pointless and did nothing for anyone. A promo by swerve or even having Keith come down to apologize and have swerve knock him out would have been a thousand times better. The match with Dustin best outcome leaves swerve exactly where he was. Just pointless, that’s theme for this ppv. And finally, the mjf match with joe was actually pretty good. Both guys are great performers and joe being champion is just fine and well deserved. The problem comes with the finish. It literally makes entire story they have been telling pointless. The whole point of the devil was that he wanted to take everything from mjf, in the end he didn’t. Mjf just lost the match clean. It made no sense whatsoever. The funny thing is they had the right finish set up, they just didn’t do it. Why not have it be obvious joe is gonna hurt mjf with the submission it mjf won’t give up and then have Cole on the apron with the white towel and then mjf is like no don’t do it, but then after 30 seconds more of mjf agonizing in pain a reluctant Adam Cole throws in the towel. Joe wins he leaves then in the ring Cole is helping mjf and telling him I had to do it, sorry max, I just had ….. to ….. do ……. It lights go out the henchmen are there surrounding both guys and it looks like it’s not Cole, but then the lights go out again and it’s Cole in the chair like they did with the mask and a microphone and he says “sorrry mjf, but I had to do it……… because I hate you”.
Show was perfect, yes there was some mediocre stuff but aew shows always had that part. But there is a toxic thing aew fans always need action mania, finisher fest, & bloodshed . Pro-wrestling is more about telling stories , if u want real action then go watch mma events like ufc.
Im sorry but Mercedes with that weak womens roster does nothing. Big fish in a small pond of talent not even close to her level. Its not gonna change the ratings at all. Which means the money Tony is paying for her is pointless.
the f you talking? Out of 8 matches at least 4 were super good. Jesus, haters gonna hate. I was very satisfied. About women wrestling I care not so much, but men were really good. From the top of my head only Jericho's match was bad and only because lots of botches. End of the PPV was awesome because I really thought that they decided to make Joe the devil, which sucked because it was kinda weak. But they really fix it here.
This guy is a hater, cause he is just straight up hating without even knowing the cast of the jericho, darby allin match, And Don Callis is hated in the wrestling world and it makes sense the stable still remains, this guy did not like the christian cage cash in part woww, he contradicted most of his choices, mann love the wrestling and the acting skills of AEW mann stop hating, maybe it did not have the bloody matches AEW has done in it's past with some greatest matches in it's ppv's, but it was really good, stop hating man
jay white needs to go to wwe with mjf their first angle should being randy's new legacy then randy betraying because he remebers what happened last with rhodes and dibiase jr
Couldn't agree more on Christian Cage being AEW's MVP of 2023. He deserves way more credit than he gets. Hope he gets a reign as the AEW World Champion in 2024. Still one of the very best in the world and definitely the best heel in wrestling!
Yeah I think the problem is they keep putting him on Collision instead of Dynamite I don't know what it is but I just can't watch the full Collision shows it feels like it's a completely different company compared to Dynamite and I'm guessing a lot of other people feel the same way considering the viewership is a lot lower so I think that's why he's not really been given as much praise as he deserves
@@raymondthomas1574personally I think Adam was trying to be safe with putting Nick through the table and maybe went too quick because the fire went out too fast which resulted in him not even going through it. Still looked bad though.
I have wanted to see Miro vs Andrade since they both came into AEW. They have a similar look and style and always thought it would be such an entertaining match. Had that been booked properly it could have been the best match of both of their careers. But AEW has to do what AEW does: rush an angle with no proper TV time or promos, and thus, no one cares at all about the match. Bull crap.
Think it came down to the fact Andrade's contract is up and he's left so you can't really blame them for rushing it it was either that or he just upped and left in the middle of the feud and they could have saved it by doing a rematch in the future seeing as CJ screwed Andrade but they can't now cause he's gone
I agree. Dustin getting beat up before the match would have built the storyline with Keith Lee. But of course Tony wants everybody to be happy and look like stone cold in wrestlemania 13 against Bret hart not realizing he made Swerve look bad that he couldn’t incapacitate an old man after a sneak attack.
As of writing this comment, Worlds End is rated 5.53 on Cagematch, which is lower than All Out 2020 (5.77). Tony checkes the Cagematch ratings, so when he sees that, he might realize that some things need to change.

It sounds like a cop out to me (The pass theory is all over the place in defense of Jericho) and we'll see if an investigation will turn up anything more concrete...
Everyone and their mother knew Adam Cole was the Devil. Unfortunately MJF is gonna be out for a while because of injuries so we will have to wait to see what happens. Finally Samoa Joe is AEW World Champion, it still baffles me that he never won either the WWE or Universal Championship when they had multiple opportunities to put the strap on him. But I hope he has a very good run with the title
The obvious is sometimes the best choice. If it was someone completely random, we'd probably be given a clumsy and unbelievable reason as to why. People constantly fantasy booking who it would be and coming up with wild surprises made the reveal a lot less impactful imo, because people were expecting someone different
I waited for a new debut like Sami Callihan or maybe bringing back Marty Scurll but no use the cliche best friend betrayal storyline.But I feel happy for the Kingdom

while i agree it was a weaker PPV overall ... definitely not the worst AEW PPV of all time. anything that has bangers like Mox vs Kingston cannot be the worst AEW PPV of all time. also i don't get why people are mad that AEW put some tag matches in the show when WWE and New Japan do it all the time as well. makes no sense to me. and while i agree Jericho 8 man shouldn't have happened and probably should've been tag title match instead. the Continental losers match was awesome. Christian Cage and Adam Copeland killed this bitch. Swerve gave Dustin Rhodes a good match in year 2023.

Then you began recapping the matches, and im thinking he is talking pretty well about an awful event. Thats when i realized you were not saying worlds end was actually a disaster but just not their best effort compared to the years program of events. I still liked most of the content, great year for AEW overall. Christian and Adam are legends!!!
At world's end was not the worst pay-per-view it was their weakest of the ppv it was nothing but a three-match show but absolutely love the move of Adam Cole as the devil was fantastic
You mentioned Edge vs Christian and I thought “this promotion really is like WCW”, and then you mentioned the booking. Company owner made his money outside of wrestling, past their prime or fired ex WWE guys everywhere in the show, overbooking. It’s not looking good in the long run.
@@nathanbaldwin4495 I think partnering with a foreign promotion isn't inherently a bad thing, but the way AEW does it is incredibly selfish tbh. They make it so Forbidden Door shows feel like yet another AEW show, but featuring NJPW talent, with none of said talent going over in matches.

That Gm mode card in Svr 2007 would’ve probably been better!
@@HispanicPanic23 Wish I wasn't half joking. That Miro/Andrade match is what I'd make when I played that at age 14.
"Crap. Two wrestlers are complaining about not being used. Put them in a match together."
I don't agree at all. Three months of television content just dragged on and on until the next PPV. Also, where do you see a fall-off in PPV quality? Just because one event was mediocre (and a lot had to happen for it to be mediocre - Keith Lee injured, Kenny Omega out, Chris Jericho rumors) doesn't devalue the line-up of great PPVs we had this year.
Joe won the title and it felt so lackluster the crowd didn’t even pop for it I felt so bad for him
They werent gonna pop for Joe no matter how good he is. That was MJF city and those were his people. At least his interview after the show established the direction he was taking the title. I would like to see them build Miro up to be a legitimate contender and eventual Champion.
I feel bad for all of the legit wrestlers that aren't part of the political shitstorm that is prevelant in AEW that have worked hard to make something of AEW and especially the guys in the 2nd 8 man with Jericho... Sting going out in NYC on a sour note etc.
I think the problem is that Samoa Joe will more than likely be a transitional champion. He's a veteran of the sport, but it would be incredibly risky to give him a long considering his injury history. The best thing aew can do is have him hold the title until Revolution and then have him drop it to Swerve. Now that pop will be crazy.
I kind of loved it, more than a pop was confusion and then a shriek
They chanted "This is bullshit" so loud, I thought I was watching a WWE program
Swerve should've squashed dustin rhodes there was literally no reason for that match should've went that long
I would agree its definitely the worst AEW show this year and maybe ever. The hilarious part about this show how hard people are going to try bring in WWE to excuse it. It should good or bad in it's merit, not because WWE has some bad shows in the last 5 years or whatever frame is thrown out.

Hope everyone in AEW backstage felt the safety while producing this terrible show😂
The ending of the Mox/Eddie match sent me. Just two drunks slapping each other to make it look "real"
They could've done this same finish but better, at least sell you are fatigued
they both have more money than you
The Christian Cage vs Adam Copeland match was awesome! I like the fact that Joe won the belt and the fact that the devil stuff is finally over. The rest of the PPV wasn't that good but that No DQ match was worth it all!
Ehh. At least the Devil's group isn't that random. Adam Cole and Roderick Strong have history, The Kingdom have history with them. Wardlow being part of the group is probably the most random but it makes sense due to him having issues with MJF and can play the enforcer role well.
The storyline with miro n Andrade n Cj perry reminds me of the one in wwe with miro n Bobby lashley n cj perry
I heard Impact wants to go back to using TNA.
Too late as we are seeing 2010s TNA in AEW.
Tbh TNA in 2023 was BOOMING, it was a Renaissance, you should give it a shot
And it was not a good call leaving Chris Jericho on the card after what happened leading into the show. Good lord, Sting did not need to have this stink on his retirement tour. And Ricky Starks is starting to look checked out of AEW.
FTR vs House Of Black should've been on this PPV........
If I was too grade World's End it'd be a B-. Not bad, not great but overall passable. To be fair its was only half AEW's fault (because Kenny & Keith being taken out last minute is something beyond their control), but other things like rushed booking is on them.
The Good:
* Copeland vs Christian was match of the night, great wrestling, great hardcore action, great story telling & the early seeds being planted for a Luchasaurus face turn & going after Christian Cage for the TNT Title was great work by all.
* Moxley vs Eddie was the 2nd best match of the night, sometimes you don't need fancy flips just have two popular guys fight old school refusing to lose even basic chop contests can be just as entertaining as anything else (Eddie is one of the most over guys in the company & I can see him being the one to defeat Joe for the World Title down the line).
* Samoa Joe winning the World Title was great (even if you all know its because MJF has a injury / bidding war of 2024 storyline to continue) alongside Christian Cage & MJF he's been the best & most consistent wrestler in the company having solid match after solid match.
* A small hint of a heel turn for Trent? in the future, seeds being planted for him turning on the best friends are starting. Let's see where this goes.
* Toni Storm & her crew, Luther is weirdly a good choice for her butler (considering the cursed storyline with Brandi Rhodes) & doesn't get enough credit for it.
The Bad:
* Not enough build up for several matches, even Swerve vs Lee felt like it was added last minute & we've been waiting for that match for nearly a year.
* No House of Black vs FTR, with all the cancelled matches you'd think they'd put this match on the card.
* Cassidy not in action, I mean you have a single champions sitting in the back while your rushing around looking for matches to throw together because of unforeseen circumstances & you didn't include him? You could've had Dustin try to return to the ring, but couldn't then have Swerve issue a open challenge to anyone in the back & have Cassidy answer the call.
The Ugly:
* Two different 8 man tag matches on 1 card? (They wasn't bad matches but its a odd choice) I get they had to throw something together, but at least have say Don Callis family (Kyle, Hobbs & Takeshita) vs The Acclaimed for the Trios titles.
* TBS Title match. The action was okay, but they really didn't take advantage of the House Rules at all. I mean biting is allowed? That's all they could come up with? With two "spooky gimmicks" I was expecting something a little more then biting (I mean we see the likes of MJF & Moxley do it all the time), maybe something like a Coffin match to add something different to the show.
I get that its easy being a Arm Chair Booker (T, Sucka! 🤣🤣) & they did the best they could, but hopefully they learn from this & make sure they plan out the feuds with a end point in mind.
Adam vs cage was the only good match the ending sucked tho
Ending was a dusty finish with extra steps.
homage to something from your competitor as an excuse for dumb booking is bad.
So any positivity that could have been gained from this match was sucked out the room in an instant.
Jungle boy cosplaying as Christian still botches like jungle boy though at least he sold the damage relatively okay.
Worst part is i have to wonder if its even remotely possible to have any tension or investment in Copeland vs Cage at this point.
the writing and pacing was really bad and if the competitors weren't as experienced as they were it would have been worse which is rather sad.
Lets hope they can figure it out.
I wish AEW took the time too introduce us too the Japanese wrestlers. I liked the Toni storm match but her opponent I can’t even remember her name and I know nothing of her. Makes her look like a no named rookie in a squash match. Wwe is so good at introducing us too the person repeatedly until you remember the nobody’s from decades ago.
its RIHO
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 ofc a AEW or Japanese fan knows that but for a person who’s never seen her she looks weak and forgettable.
@@DaNxYsmells007This is actually really great point. Tony just assumes the AEW fanbase knows her
@@DevilSurvivor69 I looked at her Wiki and saw all accomplishments of booked right she could be on Iyo’s level. Also the commentary crew should be rooting and cheering for Riho I feel like all I heard was Toni storm over and over agin. Not good when a underdog is getting squashed while the commentary is putting over Toni . That’s why I had no clue who Riho was.
Bruh she was the first champion of you have watch the shows you would know who she is also they literally showed a video package be before hand.
Honestly this ppv is over hated. Some of it is justified (Jericho shaped elephant in the room) and some of it isn’t (the sheer amount of hatred Riho gets, there were no matches on that were really bad).
I think the high standard aew has set with its ppv’s has also contributed.
Personally hope that the reset button has been hit for the company for the new year and that the sporting direction they’ve claimed they want to go in takes the right effect.
…high standard. Lol
5-10 years this company is gonna fold. or least go the way of impact after tna went to shit.
I disagree about Adam Cole leading a "generic heel stable" He was in The Kingdom before leaving ROH and he and Roddy were in UE. On top of that Roddy and Kingdom have been on TV together. Wardlow has beef with MJF so his inclusion makes sense. The two big things hurting this group is Cole's current injury and if MJF does legit leave, Wardlow might have no purpose in staying with this group.
Changing luchasaurus name to killswitch is fucking stupid. They really screwed up something that could have been huge with young fans and merchandise wise. The Christian Cages bitch storyline was a mistake.
I can't agree because Timeless Toni Storm retained her title, Julia Hart retained her title, and Adam Copeland defeated Christian Cage yet Christian Cage was still able to screw Adam Copeland out of a title run. PS I hope you watched Dynamite last night because Adam Cole's heel faction has a reason to exist and Wardlow is getting an AEW World Championship match.
I took a break from aew after all out. Hopefully it gets better in 2024...
1. The All Star 8-Man Tag was enjoyable but my only nitpick was that the Blue League didn't fight the Gold League but whatever, it was still a good match
2. Miro vs. Andrade was kinda good, CJ Perry turned on Andrade which was questionable looking back because Miro and CJ split up and Miro is injured currently. It's like the World Ended for these guys (do you get the joke guys? Do you get it World's End?). It also kinda shocked me that he showed up at the Royal Rumble less than a month after leaving because I didn't expect him to come back this quick.
3. Toni Storm is a storytelling goddess. I don't care what you say "This gimmick is boring", "She's a terrible wrestler", she puts on great title matches like a true champion should.
4. I kinda agree that this match should've been cancelled due to Keith's injury. The reason that Dustin filled in was because Dustin was in a partnership months ago with Keith. I was there and legit didn't know whether to cheer Swerve (fan favorite) or Dustin (underdog of AEW).
5. The 2nd 8 Man tag happened because Sammy turned face against the Callis family and joined forces with Jericho. Sting and Darby helped, but the reason it flopped was because the Kylie Rae incident resurfaced the day of and because Jericho is old. At least we saw Sting in his last PPV on LI! This match could've easily been Ricky Starks and Big Bill vs. Le Sex Gods.
6. Julia Hart vs. Abadon was my bathroom break match because at this point in time, it was so god damn hot in the arena. Also I heard this one guy shouting "This match sucks."
7. Christian Cage vs Adam Copeland for the TNT title was EASILY the BEST match of the night. I got a picture of Adam diving off the rafters close to where I was seated. These two were crazy the entire match. People were asking "Why was Luchasaurus there with a contract?" I think AEW should stop booking these kind of matches in the pre-show because not a lot of people made it in the building on time because of the Private Security they hired. Gret segment, but I wish Luchasaurus turned face sooner than now (6 months later)
8. Eddie Kingston was also a bathroom break becsuse it was 11pm and I was done and I also had to go to the bathroom. I was proud of Eddie for winning the match but him losing his title 3 months after to Okada on Dynamite wasn't a good look for him. It's like they said "Ok Okada's turn now!"
9. The pre-entrance video for MJF was poorly made and received, but the actual match was very good. I unfortunately cut out after 10 minutes because I was shot. AEW PPVs should not be 4 hours, and I wish I stayed but I was mentally done. MJF and the Devil storyline ultimately failed because of their injuries. It was really unfortunate because they could've had great matches together.
Garcia could do with the TNT title, but its being wasted on a blood feud between two veterans that I'm passed caring for.
Yes. The worse by far. They buried their biggest star and their biggest signing since cm punk. And their title
when I see 4 man tag matches etc. at a ppv, what that says to me is 'we have nothing better for these guys to do', so this is just the easiest way to fill up space on a card. lazy booking, classic Tony Khan
I dint even know that Big Cass was in AEW 💀
Yes it was one of the worst ppvs for sure
I would say it was the worst AEW PPV.
Maybe TNA's Snake Eyes and Hard to Kill will have more surprises.
Yeah, their ppvs in 2023 were hard to disappoint
Wardlow should've been on Joe's spot
@Brian00007 Yeah, Wardlow was the perfect choice to dethrone MJF. But Tony kept insisting that Wardlow is a lower midcarder
Seems like AEW had a rough 2023 overall. A few good moments but, hardcore AEW fans were disappointed
A lot of people tuned out
Sigh. I hate to say this, but AEW is starting to look like a modern day WCW; quantity over quality, too many wrestlers with somehow not enough screen time despite AEW having six(!) regular programs, no creativity with the storylines or matches, the same stars in the same positions, piss poor booking of their women's division, same overkill formula in matches. I could go on, but you see the point. I hope they can turn it around and be the promotion of the future that they so desperately want to be.
6 regular programs? Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, and ROH. AEW secretly make 2 more programs that I don’t know about.

Who the fk is marion monroe???? Like come on, try and look up your references for spelling before you make them.
AEW PPVs usually deliver, Worlds End is not one of them
Calling this the worst AEW PPV is like calling the 92-93’ Bulls are the worst Jordan team to win a championship. Like they still won a ring. For me the worst part of the show was actually Eddie winning. To me that made the entire C2 feel like a complete waste of time. The second Eddie put his titles on the line, we all knew he was winning. No one with any actual brains thought AEW was gonna book Eddie to lose the championship of another promotion. If Eddie was always gonna win, should have never had him put the titles up.
Lol u lost me with the Chicago bulls comparison...what are u trying to say??
@@Bls-of1ld I’m saying the PPV was still really good, easily a B+ show. We’re just used to AEW PPVs being S tier. Really shows you the stats of WWE and AEW where the “worst” AEW PPV is still better than 99% of every WWE PPV the past decade.
Sweet I wasn’t the only one who thought this lol this PPV was really bad lol
“Didn’t need to happen, worst thing ever, bad decision” 😂 Jesus man
The last 3 matches and the C2 losers match were the only thing worth watching.
Wait I haven’t been keeping up with AEW, is luchasaurus called killswitch now?
I definitely disagree I think the reveal of the Devil at the end while predictable was well done The other matches were also good
I don’t think Adam with strong and the kingdom is random. Cole was literally the leader of the kingdom at one point
Can someone please explain the Jericho situation
I am seriously so confused over this reaction to Worlds End. I didn't think it was anything special, but it was nowhere near bad.
it's cool to hate on AEW rn, as simple as that.
The guy running this channel Is a fad chaser.
I enjoyed the show, the only thing that sucked for me was the reaction of the ref at the end of Joe vs MJF.
no its not cool to hate on any promotion@@TanujDhaundiyal
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 I agree. Fans should be grateful for all the alternatives we have right now. People easily forget how terrible WWE was before 2021, and how the competition made them improve their product. While AEW is not having a great time right now, the tide could turn in 2024.
I didn't know Doink the Clown signed with AEW??? Terrible, Terrible match with Julia Hart!!
This card kind felt like quaintly over quality personal they shouldn't have Dustin wrestle swerve and remove the second 8 man tag team match it felt f'n weird to watch and we should have gotten Willow vs Satlander in that spot personally, Hook and Julia heart improve greatly from starting the two started from, Mjf being hurt I thought it was a good Idea to put the belt on Joe for the time being is going to be something interesting and I've been loving the Timeless toni storm gimmick, Edge Vs Cage was a great no dq match cannot wait for there rubber the devil reveal simple enough and I love heel Adam cole over face Adam
This just felt wrong with exception of Cage Copeland. All Mox and Eddie was chop each other. I don’t know bout you all but it’s getting real old AEW wrestlers not selling the moves their opponent hits
I thought Worlds End was pretty good. I enjoyed it more than most of WWEs PLEs this year.
it wasn't all that bad for me. Copeland vs Cage was sick, and Adam winning that title was a huge moment. the all-star tag also a great match, CC final was superb to watch, the build-up was brilliant, and the hug at the end was very moving.
i don't agree at all with calling the devil's group "another random, generic heel stable". Strong, Cole, Taven and Bennett have a lot of story between themselves, and Wardlow just has his reasons to join a group that plans to destroys MJF. and, well, maybe that's Wardlow's chance to get a title match. the only issue is, Cole will propably also go after AEW Championship, so Wardlow leaving the group is propably gonna happen soon
Your explanation basically shows why aew is not logical.
The Copeland vs Cage match was amazing, but the stupid fucking ending ruined it. And the Devils group is the most 2000s WCW thing ever
Everything about AEW kinda feels cheap as hell... even people on the crowd are bored. And i kinda hate how much all of the wrestlers just wear black. 😅 like there are not alot of things that distinct them from other wrestlers.
Ngl kinda tired of the negativity at EVERY AEW ppv, I was hoping it was an objective thing but I just don't vibe, lost a long time sub
After hearing top 10 wrestling pretty much saying he simps for nia jax, I haven't been taking anything this man says seriously.
For saying this is the worst AEW PPV, there doesn't seem to be a lot of hate for it by the narrator.🤷
It was indeed a pretty disappointing way to end the year like that. Even the Devil reveal was super predictable, and I couldn't even care less that Eddie Kingston won the Continental Classic Tournament, and became their first triple crown champion. Even the match between Edge and Christian was the absolute worst. He won the TNT title, and lost again to Christian.
I feel bad for the people paying 60$ for paperview and paying 200$ worth of ticket to see this shit show 😂
How do you know when a AEW show is bad? It all looks really bad to me. Even on paper the matches are bad
A guy coming from another company and now doesn't want to take losses?? Big surprise lol
Imagine being signed by AEW and being told you will get a push, and then they sign 10 more guys and tell them the same thing. Who wins??? lol THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AEW.
The finish for the Samoa Joe vs MJF match irked me so much, the ref ruined the finsish so bad, he should've just called the bell in a professional manner (he is the ref after all) but he marks out and pauses, deflated the whole friggin finish.
They are known for being garbage
Solid 8?! Lay off the drugs.
AEW be confusing the shyt outta me…. Not long ago didn’t the dude Hobbs DESTROY Ricky starks???!!???! Now teaming up with man I can’t trust Wrestlers worth shyt.
Keep your friends close enemies closer😅
This is their weakest PPV they have to tone it down and go back to 4 PPVs a year. We are going to end up having to pay $50 for 4 hour Dynamites every month. This was bad.
The thing that really bothers me is the continental title (very useful, very needed, especially for Kingston), unifying the three gives New Japan more booking power (because it's also THEIR champion, so they will decide who will pin Kingston) and devalues like crazy the ROH world title after Tony has spent so much money, time and efforts to put ROH in the spotlight (at the expense of storyline and the overall quality of the shows), all of that for nothing.
It’s not just the worst aew ppv it’s the worst ppv/ple in. Either well funded company since hhh fully took over.
The two multi man tags were blah.
Love Julia hart, but she should never be in the ring with anyone who can’t make her look good until she’s ready to be doing that. Thunder was back and ready to go and would have been a ten times better choice and she would have made the champion look worthy of the title. That’s bad booking.
Edge and Christian match itself was actually pretty good even with edges limitations. I thought it was his best match since he returned. I think edge wrestling more in aew than he did in wwe is really helping. In the match itself I like the story of edges career that’s was really good. The post match however so contrived and just made everyone look stupid, especially edge. Why would the inventer basically of the cash in not think Christian would use the dinosaur to cash in if he lost. Edge looks dumber than everyone who has lost by interference to Roman the last two years. The dinosaur looks like he’s borderline short bus. Christian is the only coming out of that post match not looking like a complete moron. I think they have to get him away from edge now and move him straight into the title picture because his schtick is on verge of getting stale. They need to take advantage right now and get him fresh opponents. They can always circle back to edge later. Christian would be great for joe and after the long mjf reign a feud where they flip title a few times won’t hurt anything and perhaps will even make the matches a little more exciting and dramatic.
Swerve vs Dustin should not have happened. It was pointless and did nothing for anyone. A promo by swerve or even having Keith come down to apologize and have swerve knock him out would have been a thousand times better. The match with Dustin best outcome leaves swerve exactly where he was. Just pointless, that’s theme for this ppv.
And finally, the mjf match with joe was actually pretty good. Both guys are great performers and joe being champion is just fine and well deserved. The problem comes with the finish. It literally makes entire story they have been telling pointless. The whole point of the devil was that he wanted to take everything from mjf, in the end he didn’t. Mjf just lost the match clean. It made no sense whatsoever. The funny thing is they had the right finish set up, they just didn’t do it. Why not have it be obvious joe is gonna hurt mjf with the submission it mjf won’t give up and then have Cole on the apron with the white towel and then mjf is like no don’t do it, but then after 30 seconds more of mjf agonizing in pain a reluctant Adam Cole throws in the towel. Joe wins he leaves then in the ring Cole is helping mjf and telling him I had to do it, sorry max, I just had ….. to ….. do ……. It lights go out the henchmen are there surrounding both guys and it looks like it’s not Cole, but then the lights go out again and it’s Cole in the chair like they did with the mask and a microphone and he says “sorrry mjf, but I had to do it……… because I hate you”.
This paper view is the worst ever AEW is gonna die very soon if they keep doing this…
I must have been watching a different PPV.
Kingston is 🗑
If Abadon would have won the title, that might have salvaged the show. But they couldn't even do that.
Also wrestledream being last is criminal
Show was perfect, yes there was some mediocre stuff but aew shows always had that part. But there is a toxic thing aew fans always need action mania, finisher fest, & bloodshed .
Pro-wrestling is more about telling stories , if u want real action then go watch mma events like ufc.
Jericho looks like a boiled egg
Im sorry but Mercedes with that weak womens roster does nothing. Big fish in a small pond of talent not even close to her level. Its not gonna change the ratings at all. Which means the money Tony is paying for her is pointless.
lol it was ok
the f you talking? Out of 8 matches at least 4 were super good. Jesus, haters gonna hate. I was very satisfied. About women wrestling I care not so much, but men were really good. From the top of my head only Jericho's match was bad and only because lots of botches. End of the PPV was awesome because I really thought that they decided to make Joe the devil, which sucked because it was kinda weak. But they really fix it here.
This guy is a hater, cause he is just straight up hating without even knowing the cast of the jericho, darby allin match, And Don Callis is hated in the wrestling world and it makes sense the stable still remains, this guy did not like the christian cage cash in part woww, he contradicted most of his choices, mann love the wrestling and the acting skills of AEW mann stop hating, maybe it did not have the bloody matches AEW has done in it's past with some greatest matches in it's ppv's, but it was really good, stop hating man
Who writes the story lines in aew ? Bad stories all around
They weren't saying bulshit during mjf match because they felt bad for mjf they're saying bulshit because the story is stupid
jay white needs to go to wwe with mjf their first angle should being randy's new legacy then randy betraying because he remebers what happened last with rhodes and dibiase jr
Couldn't agree more on Christian Cage being AEW's MVP of 2023. He deserves way more credit than he gets. Hope he gets a reign as the AEW World Champion in 2024. Still one of the very best in the world and definitely the best heel in wrestling!
Yeah I think the problem is they keep putting him on Collision instead of Dynamite I don't know what it is but I just can't watch the full Collision shows it feels like it's a completely different company compared to Dynamite and I'm guessing a lot of other people feel the same way considering the viewership is a lot lower so I think that's why he's not really been given as much praise as he deserves

I have wanted to see Miro vs Andrade since they both came into AEW. They have a similar look and style and always thought it would be such an entertaining match. Had that been booked properly it could have been the best match of both of their careers. But AEW has to do what AEW does: rush an angle with no proper TV time or promos, and thus, no one cares at all about the match. Bull crap.
I mean WWE creative hasnt been there for years.... roman reigns all i need to say

@@twiztedclown no one cared about a match in AEW that had the potential to be great?
Think it came down to the fact Andrade's contract is up and he's left so you can't really blame them for rushing it it was either that or he just upped and left in the middle of the feud and they could have saved it by doing a rematch in the future seeing as CJ screwed Andrade but they can't now cause he's gone
I agree. Dustin getting beat up before the match would have built the storyline with Keith Lee. But of course Tony wants everybody to be happy and look like stone cold in wrestlemania 13 against Bret hart not realizing he made Swerve look bad that he couldn’t incapacitate an old man after a sneak attack.

Everyone and their mother knew Adam Cole was the Devil. Unfortunately MJF is gonna be out for a while because of injuries so we will have to wait to see what happens. Finally Samoa Joe is AEW World Champion, it still baffles me that he never won either the WWE or Universal Championship when they had multiple opportunities to put the strap on him. But I hope he has a very good run with the title
The “best friend betrayal” cliche is something that needs to be abolished from the wrestling industry.
It was mostly because Joe always got hurt. I still want Joe to win at least one WWE championship before he fully retires one day.
The obvious is sometimes the best choice. If it was someone completely random, we'd probably be given a clumsy and unbelievable reason as to why. People constantly fantasy booking who it would be and coming up with wild surprises made the reveal a lot less impactful imo, because people were expecting someone different
@@jakeey0exactly this. If it was someone like dolph people would've been surprised but it wouldn't have made any sense in the long term.

Not shocked, disappointed

@@blunelson8226 It made it more unexpected for those who didn't watch the pre-show and I thought the commentary team did a good job explaining what was happening.

Until that flaming table spot happened. One of the absolute dumbest things I've ever seen in wrestling.
At least AEW has a credible world champion right now, AND AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS, SAMOA JOE IS A WORLD CHAMPION AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
wasnt he universal champion tho
Nope, WWE never gave him the title.
while i agree it was a weaker PPV overall ... definitely not the worst AEW PPV of all time. anything that has bangers like Mox vs Kingston cannot be the worst AEW PPV of all time.
also i don't get why people are mad that AEW put some tag matches in the show when WWE and New Japan do it all the time as well. makes no sense to me. and while i agree Jericho 8 man shouldn't have happened and probably should've been tag title match instead. the Continental losers match was awesome. Christian Cage and Adam Copeland killed this bitch. Swerve gave Dustin Rhodes a good match in year 2023. Adam Cole being the devil was so good despite me knowing it was gonna be him , all the clues were there all along.

I Think This Might Be The First Worst AEW PPV We've Seen So Far.
Nah. That'd be All Out 2020
I like your optimism
First?
At world's end was not the worst pay-per-view it was their weakest of the ppv it was nothing but a three-match show but absolutely love the move of Adam Cole as the devil was fantastic
@@johnbeal6114so in other words the ppv sucked.
Cole's faction is not random at all
You mentioned Edge vs Christian and I thought “this promotion really is like WCW”, and then you mentioned the booking. Company owner made his money outside of wrestling, past their prime or fired ex WWE guys everywhere in the show, overbooking. It’s not looking good in the long run.
Even the working relationship with a Japanese promotion.
@@nathanbaldwin4495 I think partnering with a foreign promotion isn't inherently a bad thing, but the way AEW does it is incredibly selfish tbh. They make it so Forbidden Door shows feel like yet another AEW show, but featuring NJPW talent, with none of said talent going over in matches.
@@GayFishYeneither do I, but the similarities between AEW and late WCW are building up.
Your always exaggerate with your thumbnails, this ppv wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either
ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL
Dreadful take but then again what else would I expect from a Chelsea fan...
Its always the British marks that have the worst takes in pro wrestling
@@GlizzyGoblin-wu5ps i know right!? Hes a chelsea fan too hahaha. Big up the Ohio Arsneal Fan Club!!!

I hope sting’s last match is not this bad. I’m going anyway. Hopefully is good.
it was and darby stole the spotlight in the worst way from him going through glass spot
Am sorry but Daniel Garcia needs to get a push are you serious if look at the definition of bland in a dictionary there is a picture of Daniel Garcia next to it the guy is as boring as they come
2024 is a make it or break it year for AEW.
Yea right
