Id say the fun in it would be getting stoned and calling everything thats going to happen and lyao when it does exactly as you predicted in an inebriated state
Jericho like from the time I was a kid until 2018 or whatever like without a doubt he was in my top 5 all time. Personality. Ability. Screen appeal. Now I don't think he'd be in top 50 and that's being generous. I don't think he'd be in my top 1000. I'm putting Jinder Mahal over him.
Brian made a New York Mets player reference after Jim said he sidearmed it(the review of the Inner Circle/America's Top Team) to him then Brian said like Terry Leach,a former Mets relief pitcher from the 80's who pitched sidearm from his wind up. That was a nice slip in on the fly by Brian.
Say what you want about AEW, which I have already and will continue to do, but there are two things I can state for them. Unlike TNA no one is accusing them of ripping off WWE, and unlike ROH they are not allowing any other companies to run roughshod over their shows. Even when Impact was making its champions look better than AEW's everyone still recognized who the stars of AEW's show were.
Can Lio try less to get that across?! Such a bad name too. it show his lack of care, commitment and understanding. Last I checked there's 24 hours to the day and Dynamite is a 2 hour show.
“Say what you want about AEW” “Say what you want about Omega” “Say what you want about the Bucks” “Say what you want about the booking” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 jesus Brian knows he’s force feeding himself a lot of this nonsense by CONSTANTLY having to preface or instantly defend why he likes it.
Because he’s talking to Jim Cornette, who admitted on this same podcast that he literally will fast forward a segment anytime those people are in a segment/match. And then he’ll hoot and holler about how the booking doesn’t make sense. But he barely knows what’s going on the show. I can’t stand the Bucks but I give them credit for their match vs Kenny Omega and Hangman a year ago. Jim thought it was awful. The rest of the world thought it was the MOTY contender. The booking for this whole Hangman/Elite thing has been stellar
I noticed the same thing....been going on for months now. Also see: "You may not like so and so, but they're over with THAT crowd"....well big fucking deal...the ratings have been plummeting...how about they get over with more viewers...or bring someone in who can?
Rocky Romero wrestled on the original All In ppv that predates AEW. Trent and Rocky are tag team partners in NJPW and CMLL but now AEW wants to be more wrestling based
TK needs to get a real booker and try and put out material for the casuals. The ratings for Dynamite was 900k but with the talent they have and the momentum they have garnered it should be higher and they should aim higher. Also Omega will be gone for a couple of months so hopefully it becomes serious now. Although right now I need to listen to Dutch Mantell and Cornettes review of Full Gear respectively cause Dutch recently said Rampage go home show for the PPV was better than Smackdown minus the main event. The different mindset from 2 legends of the business is quite shocking. I would think Dutch had the same mentality like Corny but no, the man said Hangman needed to win the title.
In defense of the Dax & Pac finish (yes, it should have ended with that Brain buster off the turn buckle or the power bomb after that clothesline) where Dax tapped the minute he was put in a submission. FTR has a Title Bout at the PPV in a few days. He tapped instantly to end the match and not get hurt. I was a little shocked at first, and had to rewind to make sure I just saw what I saw, but it made sense. Obviously, the afterbirth could have been a little better. I mean, in true Baby face fashion, Death Triangle member Pac refused to let go and just take the win, so the heels had to come to the rescue in order to get heat for doing the right... thing?
@@Minimania18 Just because one is born a bastard doesn't mean they have to act the bastard. They need to make a little clip of him and the rest of death trangle visiting their parents (Obviously the lucha bro's fam needs to be in masks and pacs mom should have a neck tat with "Bastardess" written in gothic letters ) doing the right thing, feeding orphans and other little bastards, and what not. :-p
I’m pretty sure Jim Cornette hated Chuck “Chuckles” Taylor because AEW calls him the Kentucky Gentleman. Lol Inner Circle Jerk/America’s Top Team match at Full Gear was complete garbage!
I haven't watched full gear, nor do I know the results (I have my assumptions) but how great would it have been if they had Miro just smash Danielson. Like full on squash where he just crushed and rag dolled him. Hell (IN AEW OVERBOOKING FASHION) at that point they could have had Bri come in and throw herself over her husband to stop Miro from hulk smashing him and then introduced the Wife, who is now proud of her man again. Then they could play the Danialson underestimated his power and his religious fervor.he wasn't ready for the crazy. He'd been taking care of everyone else and got cocky because he's handled him in the past in other promotions no problem. I'm certain that Danielson will end up with the W (or has by this time) but IMO, MIro is the best thing in AEW right now. Right up there with the Kingston CM punk promos
AEW is so over pushing Jungle Boy and Dante Martín, but they will never go anywhere unless there is a AEW Cruiserweight Championship. AEW needs to form a Cruiserweight division considering how many little guys they have.
Trent was part of Chaos in NJPW, so of course by their logic, his faction was asked to join Chaos. So now because of this, AEW fanboys will fap thinking about a Toru Yano & Pockets comedy tag team!
I guess Mr Last never saw Daniel Bryan's Heel Run on Smackdown in late 2018 into 2019. Also agree with Jim about all the after birth after every Match on AEW TV. Nobody remembers any of it the following day or week because it happens all the time.
The only reason punk & Bryan have to wrestle every week is to stay in the win loss ratings which shoulda really never been a thing to begin with dont get me wrong love AEW but the win loss ratings is whack
Am I the only one who felt sorry for watching Full Gear? I never thought of feeling so worn out after watching wrestling. Not that there wasn't one good match I kinda liked FTR vs. Lucha Bros, but the standards these days...
I am going to presume that most people listening to Jim are not "casual wrestling fans" so it always baffles me that people in the comments (who all seem to think they would make excellent bookers, because they are constantly telling Tony Khan what he should be doing) are so concerned that AEW won't appeal to casual viewers... I want a show that is for actual die-hard wrestling fans like myself. Fans that have been watching wrestling for decades, who know what's happening in all the promotions, know what the CHAOS faction is... know what MOTH stands for... I don't like everything on AEW, I am not a hardcore/garbage wrestling fan, but I appreciate that they want to cater to people who love wrestling - we might like different things, but what we like... we love... and some of what we love will be featured in this company. If the network is happy, Khan wants to keep putting on the show and the actual wrestlers are happier than ever... then lets just enjoy it instead of getting so worried about ratings and casual fans and crap.
I have a similar philosophy: Cater to the hardcore fans and the casuals will become intrigued. Just from a psychological standpoint everybody wants to feel like an expert, an insider. So when you have a program that treats the viewer like an insider and doesn't dumb it down casuals will get hooked.
@@DrinkYourNailPolish But its been two years and they still are only appealing to hardcores. I am a casual fan who was once a hardcore fan in my youth. Their inside jokes and having to watch their youtube series or live on twitter doesnt make me intrigued,it makes the continuity of whats going on inconsistent and nonsensical.
AEW was never made for the casual viewer in mind. It's literally YOUR DREAM SHOW and no one elses. As long as it remains in those restraints, the promotion will never grow. Hope you're happy with that.
Because we shouldn't gatekeep others from enjoying a product. ROH was carered to hardcore fans and look what has happened to it, right now (combined with terrible management).
@@Ticketman99 The people saying it will never grow are probably the same people (on this very channel) that said AEW would collapse within a year... yet they have grown, PPV sales continue to go up, they got an extra TV show, they are the most watched wrestling company in the UK, they signed Punk and Danielson... this is growth.
@@SynDC6 It would appear that way but actually there is no " Real " Travis. The real Travis was Travis Hiccklebom Von Blitzken born in 1612. His ghost 👻 possess Corny and draws the pictures. But recently other ghost 👻 and a few aliens 👽 have joined in and each one takes turns. Most are ancestors of Jim, Bobby and Stan because contrary to common belief only ancestors can use Descendants and close friends to contact the living and draw wrestling pictures . Aliens can join in but only through advanced telekinesis technology. I'm speculating this picture was drawn on Zeptar in the Andromeda galaxy because Kristen Stadtlander is actually a real alien 👽 and her ancestors are using her to channel into Corny 🌽. Travis getting sick was just a cover story. It's confusing but Cornette has at least 26 people living in his head drawing pictures, which is average for an American Democrat active in politics.
I don't live in the US. My only option is to download AEW via torrents. But i do not even do that, for a simple reason: when i wake up, everything interesting is up on youtube. I honestly do not think they care that much about ratings, or else they would not do that. It is friday evening, any sane young person (what they target) is out with friends or home with his family, why watch tv?
“We never saw this version of Bryan Danielson in WWE” I understand Brian is anti WWE and an AEW mark now but why did he tell that lie? We literally saw Bryan as a serious heel from 2018-2020.
He is leaner, more aggressive with his moves, and used a different submission to win almost each match. Was Bryan doing that when he was in WWE as a heel?
So soon we are going to have the second appearance of God in pro Wrestling...obviously he has to redeem himself after he has a negative record 0/1 ...could be his last chance to get over ..
Now everyone pay attention to this because it’s very important - 5:25 in Jim shows exactly why he’s out of touch and is talking out of his ass 90% of the time when it comes to modern wrestling.. He thinks submission moves are overdone and “what happened to pinning ‘em flat one two three.” 🤦🏽♂️ For a guy who rants and raves about how wrestling needs to be more real, and “what happened to the guys who would really stretch ya” blah blah blah. Bryan would tap all of those guys out and take their body parts home as collectibles. The last 20 years of humans grew up with REAL FIGHTING ON TELEVISION. UFC is coming up on its 30th anniversary… we all know what grappling is. We all know that UFC 1 Royce Gracie came into the octagon weighing 170 lbs soaking wet and stretched the sin out of every steroided up bad ass shoot fighter and former pro wrestlers they put in front of him. Over 80% of ALL real world physical confrontations end up in a grappling situation of some sort on the ground, this is a verifiable fact. Jim knows NOTHING about real fighting and NOTHING about actual sports. He knows EVERYTHING about a fixed sport that’s been a work with guys not really hurting each other. Football players are more of combat athletes than pro wrestlers. But then Jim clamours and talks crap about how wrestling needs to be more realistic and more like a shoot and sports-based. So AEW takes the more realistic approach and has these guys use holds and catch people in submissions out of nowhere because THATS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN REAL FIGHTING. Shooting people off ropes and doing a standing drop kick and then pinning a dudes arms flat to the ground is the most fake unbelievable shit EVER. But that’s old time wrasslin… even watch an amateur wrestling match in college, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to pin someone’s shoulders down and HOOKING THEIR LEG WOULDNT secure a pin, but would help them be able to escape and anyone who’s ACTUALLY grappled knows this. old time wrasslin was great and I hold it dear to my heart but it’s some of the phoniest fakest looking garbage of all time in comparison to actual fighting that we all have readily available today. “Too many submissions, this guys not big enough, this guy no sold this” Royce Gracie in UFC 1 showed all that stuff doesn’t matter anyways… and then Jim still went on to work with Undertakers and Kane’s and more of the phoniest bullshit we’ve ever seen. Undertaker and Kane are the cheesiest and fakest wrestling gimmicks ever in history.
It got really dull. That whole Danielson first match felt like it took 3 hours. It was like watching two teenagers roll around horse playing with all that pretend UFC stuff. I live for FTR’s stuff though.
I’d rather listen to Jim talk about wrestling any day of the week then actually watch it nowadays
The sad part is we will never see great wrestling again😭 all we have is great match memory's.
Afterbirth every match its so damn eye rolling at this point.
They just can’t help themselves.
Yeah it's so tiresome.

Pretty much the entire card was filler, promos & attacks.

After watching several AEW shows, one tip I can give is if you win your match and you're a babyface, get the hell out of the ring as fast as you can
