She is going to go through what Punk and Rosa went through in AEW. The day ones can't handle it when a bigger star come into their division. Brit Baker is going to cause some back stage problems
The people saying it started at a million and then dropped after Mercedes. The 1 million is from the Big Bang it’s that way every week. This company as much as I have tried to support it has flopped so hard. They do nothing to build actual stars or create interest. My fiancé who is a new wrestling fan loves to watch wwe because of the production and stories she watches 20 mins of AEW and she is over it
My brother said my nephew gave it a try and hates it. He only watches wwe now. He has given impact a try also. Me and my son gave it a try for 2 years. In those 2 years we didn't even watch RAW or Smackdown. We only watched wwe ppv. AEW was a flop to us.
You can’t blame the Big Bang Theory- Jim & Brian have already gone thru the ratings in the past and they weren’t as high from the lead in and Jim literally asked “well what happen to BBT lead in? Is nobody watching that show anymore?” If they got a million for Mercedes then they got a million for Mercedes.
She never drew a million views and she never will. She has a fan base like the bucks but that’s it. Her mic skills are so so so bad it’s very sad. The wwe knew she was valued in the ring and merchandise that’s it. Can’t put her on a mic and hope she attracts fans
They were stupid to bring Mercedes out at the start of the show, they should have said she will be on later in the show, because the ratings crashed right after she spoke at the start of the show, and went right back down to 801,000 viewers. Note to Brian, we can not hear any of the background noises you hear, ever, so you do not need to tell us about it. I did not hear any motorcycle, all I heard were you and Jim talking.
I feel like that whole story is Dave trying to work with Tony to work people. Because it makes Tony look like a bigger fucking loser. Guy cost you a big star? Fire him. Like why does he still work for you? Instead, he’s just really mad. Pathetic
yeah that it is one of the most BS stories iv heard from Dave. Yeah lets send the guy to New Japan with a gimmick to get over and then have his boss say "i want nothing to do with him" makes no sense
Putting all other things aside, when have you ever heard a wrestler sincerely thank the promoter for giving them a job before? That felt like a commercial.
AEW is like a good friend that falls into drug addiction. You're there for them, and try your best to help them get better. But they simply won't listen.
I cannot wait to hear JC on this weeks Collision rating. TK- Shibata vs Danielson, yes, a superb "dream match"...if built up, at all, let alone properly. "Dream Matches" aren't just thrown out cold Tony. You need to build, think like a tape trader making a comp. We want angles, promos, a background a (potential) story down the line, but def a story before your "dream match". TK is a privileged child who can't even make it in a world he scripts. Seek help dude. Or please send me a check and put me om the AEW payroll.
💯 It would be like a movie with Batman and Spider-Man where they just fight crime. No plot, no animosity, just on rooftops fighting crime. Then they shake hands at the end. Roll credits.
really ? i wonder whyyyy. its almost like darby was scared of climbing everest and decided to do all these hardcore matches a couple weeks before to get an injury so he wouldn’t have to go climbing 😂
We watch Tony Khan’s goofiness week after week. You bring in Osprey as a ‘face’ but put him in a heel group, and then he has no interactions with said heel group outside of wrestling them. What?!?
Did they legitamately actually top a mil for once? We know it's the first 15mins because of the show beforehand, but even then it's been ages since they popped a mil
I love Wrestletalk and I love Botchamania, but listening to this take from Jim and Brian is so damn refreshing and gets us out of being brainwashed. 😂 ❤
Aew's big business was a big bust. And over on raw and smackdown Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch are having face to face conversations in the ring and you can see the emotion and the hatred they have for each other. Then you've got La knight vs AJ styles at WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns. This might be the best WrestleMania in along time. I can't wait to see WrestleMania. Why can't Tony Khan book a ppv like wwe does?. Aew is just wrestling without any reason or logic. It's just high spots and guys doing dives that make no sense. Wtf has happen to wrestling with storylines and a logical ending that wrestling fans can understand and feel involved in.
Imagine the shape AEW could be in. Imagine Miro, the redeemer, in a program with Wardlow for the AEW title. Security can’t keep them apart. When they do both guys lay them out. The bucks, after failing to take the TNT title off a face Swerve Strickland for a few months, they bring in Okada and his first match will be to take the title from Strickland. Now the face is really in trouble. Britt Baker and Saraya about to battle over the women’s title with a surprise Mercedes as the guest referee. Osprey in a blood feud vs Claudio or something. All being built to the next PPV. Instead, we got Willow vs Riho, Osprey vs some dude, Wardlow choked out like a joke. The Bucks and Okada doing high school comedy.
@@rc4178 The Claudio stuff? Lol I just feel like Osprey could start with Claudio then maybe Moxley and then build to Danielson as opposed to just some random match. Lol 🤷♂️ I’d never trust myself fully with the book, I’m not Tony Kahn lol
Thank you to all involved. Every time Mr. Cornette says; "Well, now here's the thing." I pull up an image of Ben Grimm drawn by Jack Kirby. From one king to another. Thanks for the great content.
Dont forget during a media scrum before she even set foot on AEW tv, she said "eventually Ill end up back in WWE". Nothing like telling your new boss, whos paying you a ton of money for no ratings/draw, that youd really rather be elsewhere.
I worry one day during an intergender tournament, Tony Khan will debut Brock Lesnar against Riiihhhhoooo!!! And by then the Snowman will have fully lost his mind and have Lesnar job to Riho 😱
AEW posted the end of the Okata vs Kingston match online and I tried to watch it. Instead of making Okata look good it made Kingston seem like a bum. I get the feeling that they’re willing to bury the entire roster for Okata and I can’t understand how that works in the long run. Can you imagine if Punk came back and beat Gunther in his second match back for the IC Strap? I understand he’s a big deal in Japan, but to an outsider looking in you just had a random no name show up and beat the shit out of one of your four main guys that aren’t just leftovers from the WWE. How the hell does that happen or work in the long run for your company?
Mercedes or Sasha? I say being Sasha in WWE would have been a better option for her, unless it’s all about the money & nothing else for being Mercedes in AEW. Tony Mark needs Eric Bishoff WCW type help if he doesn’t want the same fate.
why would tony khan have mercedes mone debut on this episode of Dynamite the same week as the rock's concert on smackdown i mean just look at the end result with the rating.
Tony can not worry about what the Rock does, or when. where he screwed up was having Mercedes on at the start of the show. The ratings were 1 million, then as soon as she was done with her promo, the ratings dropped right back to 801,000. They should have started the show, then put out a statement saying she was there, and she would be on later, then have her come out at 9pm, or 9:30, not at the start of the show at 8pm. So the people stay tuned to see her, they way they did it she was on right away, and then as soon as she was gone the ratings crashed.
@@benespinosa5457I have been watching wrestling for 40 years, and they usually tease a new wrestler until later in the show, that way they keep people tuned in. I could not believe they put her on at the start of the show, it was a rookie move, and just dumb.
@@steves2241that was a massive mistake it worked with CM punk 3-years ago why would tony do it with mercedes tony should realize that cm punk was AEW'S biggest star and mercedes isn't.
She didn’t even need some lame long promo. She could have had pre-taped promos leading to tonight and then had a match in the main event. Those clips could have gone viral the weeks before the show.
For wigs, the hair can usually just be wadded down under a cap pretty well by professionals and women who make a habit of wig-wearing. As far as I know, Black ladies who use weaves normally braid their natural hair down tight to their heads, depending how much they've got, then weave the added hair into the base. There's no way she's enough of a mark to mar her own hair with AEW's logo. Probably not even a weave because that's a bitch of a process, takes hours and a lot of money going in and coming out. Expensive custom wig most likely, she's probably got a roller suitcase full of them.
Big Sasha/Mone fan, but that promo was atrocious. It did nothing to make me want to keep watching. Didn’t set up a storyline, didn’t develop a new feud. (And sorry, briefly mentioning she has unfinished business with Willow doesn’t count.) I turned it off after the Joe-Wardlow match.
So we know Mone, Okada, & Osprey all signed for at lease $2M a year. Bucks are at like x3M (x2) Mox 3M Jericho $4-5M. That’s 7 talent at like $16M a year. They have WAY OVER 100 talent all making atlease 6 figures. Where the fuck is the return on the investment? TK is nuts. Talent should get as much of TK’s father’s money as they can while they can.
Remember what Cornette said about the shortarm clothesline, this is how i view superkicks and spears. They've been relegated to standard moves now. As good as Bron is at the spear, he would be better picking something else as a finisher. Something only he has. Jack knife powerbomb could work or the perfectplex.
So instead of giving your biggest female star her own original entrance music, you rip off Gunther's theme and remix it with chants of CEO and rap lyrics ...
WWE didnt let Nash be there for Stings retirement but they allowed Bailey and however many others be there for Merc Moan. Id say its sad, but look at the abortion Stings last match became.
So Tony now has 3 of the wrestlers (Kenny, Will, Okada) that had and I say this lightly, had the best matches in new japan. Before Kenny became Kenny. His 2 outta 3 with Okada was good. Will vs Okada was even better. But that was then. Tony thinks he can do it his way now with them but who cares now?
Sasha was the third wheel of the four horsewomen and a victim of her own ego. Within a month she’ll be shoehorned into multi people tag matches and within 3-4 months she’ll have taken her ball and gone home like she always does… 🤷♀️
I love how people love that Bayley and Naomi supported their friend! Honestly, I don’t think I could do that because I’m not going to basically my enemies territory. I’m sorry, but if I’m competing against you, I want you to lose and I wanna win.
I have to agree. Okada worked well as a big deal in strike heavy, strong-style Mecca NJPW because his current style fit in and they spent a very long time showing and telling people that he was a big deal and all his stuff hit harder than everyone else. In AEW where you’re liable to see guys trading off and no selling multiple Canadian destroyers on any given night, where one of their bigger stars flips over the rope 360 degrees and delivers a monster lariat as a finisher? Rainmaker literally looks like foreplay.
The sad thing is Cody is the USA Kazuchika Okada. Where do you think Cody started getting that "new" look from? But Cody's driven to do big business and Okada's just content to coast. Kazuchika wasn't always like that, but who knows, if I had a billionaire enthralled I might stoop to similar lows.
If The Big Bang leaves Wednesday nights thats when Tony's "great" reality comes crashing down lol and nobody should count the over run because technically AEW is over as far as the guide so those are people tuning in for the show after
I thought Jim might've overreacted to the "best wrestler in the world" thing, but then I remembered that Tony Khan is too stupid to have that match end logically with Samoa Joe coming out and destroying the winner, cutting a promo on them and setting up a match people might want to see.
THANK YOU MR CORNETTE THANK YOU. My family has been in the wrestling business since the mid 50s I know so the language of business we speak fluently and have demonstrated I'm dozens of promotions and territories all over the country. That being said I watched this show and saw all the things you did and felt awful bout the whole experience. Okada n his finisher left me scratching my head as how in the hell they are gonna convince any of the boys to bump n sell that as devastating without exposing things so to speak. Perhaps they are gonna have someone there to kick the other guy in the balls everything. Not like the refs matter in that promotion anyway. And neither do any of the industry standards myself n my family have operated within fir half a century. The heels are cheered the faces never win. The refs are obsolete. The commentators are fanboys or insiders playing to an insiders audience I guess. Meltzer loves this n that I'll never understand. He must've sold his integrity some time ago. These spots make no sense the promos are self serving at best n boring more than not. Wont be long before tnt n tbs bosses at universal starts to wonder why they got back into the wrestling business
They might have 9000 people there however aew was donating tickets to the Salvation Army they couldn't fill the building also was recorded aew was giving out tickets the day of the event front of their building in Boston I would like to know how many tickets were actually sold
Screw you 2. Ill just jump over to Kilq this. They are honest about when they air. Jim....ive listened to you and your interviews since 2009. This breaks my heart. Btw. Kilq this is still free. No carney hack crap/
Restore the feeling = aew before punk Yes Tony is flying him. It's why he signed. Mone it's not money but creative control and copyright. People sign with AEW for perks WWE will never offer. Side note: hayter uses the ripcord shortarm clothesline for a finisher. What happens when she comes back Also O'Reilly had complications from surgery that meant he lost power in his arm. He literally could not pick his kid up and he he was dealing with diabetis. His come back should have came after several video packages on his recovery
I was one of the people that was so excited for AEW in 2019. I wanted it to be go because WWE was so bad. Now WWE is at the top of there game and AEW is doing a bad job pulling them self out of the lowest they’ve ever been. I was never the biggest fan of Sasha and thought she was over rated. But they could have had something and they blew it. All these people that left WWE because of creative and not doing what they want to do. They get to do what they want in AEW and look so F’n bad. They also immediately blew it with Okada. They’re still hope for Osprey
listen... I'm fine with fair criticism, but ain't no way in hell anyone is tuning in at 10 o'clock at night, to watch 'the new leave it to beaver'' whoever even thought to give such a program air time, should be exorcised from making decisions on cable television programming

For wigs, the hair can usually just be wadded down under a cap pretty well by professionals and women who make a habit of wig-wearing. As far as I know, Black ladies who use weaves normally braid their natural hair down tight to their heads, depending how much they've got, then weave the added hair into the base.

So we know Mone, Okada, & Osprey all signed for at lease $2M a year. Bucks are at like x3M (x2) Mox 3M Jericho $4-5M. That’s 7 talent at like $16M a year. They have WAY OVER 100 talent all making atlease 6 figures. Where the fuck is the return on the investment? TK is nuts. Talent should get as much of TK’s father’s money as they can while they can.
J: 🎶mercedes moan...🎶
B: It's Mone...
J: Thank you Steve Miller...
B: Uh, Thank you... Not, Steve Miller
J: Pffft! (Great come back)
Remember what Cornette said about the shortarm clothesline, this is how i view superkicks and spears.
They've been relegated to standard moves now. As good as Bron is at the spear, he would be better picking something else as a finisher. Something only he has. Jack knife powerbomb could work or the perfectplex.
Did anyone see dynamite? The gave tessa Blanchard's "Magnum" to switchblade
Tessa is busy farting in Vince's ear on the phone.
@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku whatever that's supposed to mean...
So instead of giving your biggest female star her own original entrance music, you rip off Gunther's theme and remix it with chants of CEO and rap lyrics ...
Good thing Sammy Guevarra wasn't there
The thumbnail is great lol
Now Aew will try to run Boston until the house there dies down. I doubt it will affect ratings much though
WWE didnt let Nash be there for Stings retirement but they allowed Bailey and however many others be there for Merc Moan. Id say its sad, but look at the abortion Stings last match became.
So Tony now has 3 of the wrestlers (Kenny, Will, Okada) that had and I say this lightly, had the best matches in new japan. Before Kenny became Kenny. His 2 outta 3 with Okada was good. Will vs Okada was even better. But that was then. Tony thinks he can do it his way now with them but who cares now?
Sasha was the third wheel of the four horsewomen and a victim of her own ego.
Within a month she’ll be shoehorned into multi people tag matches and within 3-4 months she’ll have taken her ball and gone home like she always does… 🤷♀️
Sashades monanks couldn't do a good promo if Dave Filoni wrote, directed, produced and filmed it... I saw Mandalorian
I love how people love that Bayley and Naomi supported their friend! Honestly, I don’t think I could do that because I’m not going to basically my enemies territory. I’m sorry, but if I’m competing against you, I want you to lose and I wanna win.
That artwork.. Is that Jim dressed as.. the YET-TAY!..?
The MUM-MAYYYY!
Just have Mercedes come to the ring & strut around every week & I'd luv every second of it lol.. Show Me The Monè!!! 😍😍😍
I have to agree.
Okada worked well as a big deal in strike heavy, strong-style Mecca NJPW because his current style fit in and they spent a very long time showing and telling people that he was a big deal and all his stuff hit harder than everyone else.
In AEW where you’re liable to see guys trading off and no selling multiple Canadian destroyers on any given night, where one of their bigger stars flips over the rope 360 degrees and delivers a monster lariat as a finisher?
Rainmaker literally looks like foreplay.
The sad thing is Cody is the USA Kazuchika Okada. Where do you think Cody started getting that "new" look from? But Cody's driven to do big business and Okada's just content to coast. Kazuchika wasn't always like that, but who knows, if I had a billionaire enthralled I might stoop to similar lows.
If The Big Bang leaves Wednesday nights thats when Tony's "great" reality comes crashing down lol and nobody should count the over run because technically AEW is over as far as the guide so those are people tuning in for the show after
Samoa Joe is a pro. A lot of other guys would’ve embarrassed poor Wardlow.
Honestly I think wardlow is just giving up with aew. That’s what it felt like
they should have hyped up Mercedes the way WWE has done Jane
I thought Jim might've overreacted to the "best wrestler in the world" thing, but then I remembered that Tony Khan is too stupid to have that match end logically with Samoa Joe coming out and destroying the winner, cutting a promo on them and setting up a match people might want to see.
THANK YOU MR CORNETTE THANK YOU. My family has been in the wrestling business since the mid 50s I know so the language of business we speak fluently and have demonstrated I'm dozens of promotions and territories all over the country. That being said I watched this show and saw all the things you did and felt awful bout the whole experience. Okada n his finisher left me scratching my head as how in the hell they are gonna convince any of the boys to bump n sell that as devastating without exposing things so to speak. Perhaps they are gonna have someone there to kick the other guy in the balls everything. Not like the refs matter in that promotion anyway. And neither do any of the industry standards myself n my family have operated within fir half a century. The heels are cheered the faces never win. The refs are obsolete. The commentators are fanboys or insiders playing to an insiders audience I guess. Meltzer loves this n that I'll never understand. He must've sold his integrity some time ago. These spots make no sense the promos are self serving at best n boring more than not. Wont be long before tnt n tbs bosses at universal starts to wonder why they got back into the wrestling business
Tony Khan gets khan'ed again 😂
They might have 9000 people there however aew was donating tickets to the Salvation Army they couldn't fill the building also was recorded aew was giving out tickets the day of the event front of their building in Boston I would like to know how many tickets were actually sold
Shout-out to Brian's accidental DBZ reference when he said the crowd was OVER 9000!!!! 😂
Was it not reported Mercedes has been signed and paid by AEW since January 1st?
Plus no one was crying when she came out
Screw you 2. Ill just jump over to Kilq this. They are honest about when they air. Jim....ive listened to you and your interviews since 2009. This breaks my heart. Btw. Kilq this is still free. No carney hack crap/
Restore the feeling = aew before punk
Yes Tony is flying him. It's why he signed. Mone it's not money but creative control and copyright. People sign with AEW for perks WWE will never offer.
Side note: hayter uses the ripcord shortarm clothesline for a finisher. What happens when she comes back
Also O'Reilly had complications from surgery that meant he lost power in his arm. He literally could not pick his kid up and he he was dealing with diabetis. His come back should have came after several video packages on his recovery
Mercedes Mone is an average to bad talker. Her talking annoys me.
98.5 the sports hub loves wrestling. They have wwe peeps on when they are in town all the time.
“This ain’t it, fam” - the modern phrase Jim was searching for
Riho needs to GTFO of Professional Wrestling...it's a goddamn disgrace
Jim has a review of Sasha banks vs Bianca belair on his channel.
Plastic speech as always, She wasn’t marooned on an island, she walked out and demanded more respect, which is what I believe what she calls money..
Rihooooooo!!
AEW Mid Business
Life crisis.
stephen p new stephen p new stephen p new.... the song didnt suddenly appear for me☹
I was one of the people that was so excited for AEW in 2019. I wanted it to be go because WWE was so bad. Now WWE is at the top of there game and AEW is doing a bad job pulling them self out of the lowest they’ve ever been. I was never the biggest fan of Sasha and thought she was over rated. But they could have had something and they blew it. All these people that left WWE because of creative and not doing what they want to do. They get to do what they want in AEW and look so F’n bad. They also immediately blew it with Okada. They’re still hope for Osprey
AEW is so bad that Triple H allow Bayley and Jimmy Uso wife to show up!
Cody Okada 😂😂😂
Well it's probably the 1st promo she's ever had to cut as wwe it's was if not still is scripted.
listen... I'm fine with fair criticism, but ain't no way in hell anyone is tuning in at 10 o'clock at night, to watch 'the new leave it to beaver'' whoever even thought to give such a program air time, should be exorcised from making decisions on cable television programming
