The announcers did say something about their being rope breaks in the street fight, which I thought was odd. I saw an "anything goes chain match" at a local indy show, and the ref counted rope breaks. My friend and I yelled at him "It's a chain match! Anything goes!". Then when the babyface took the chain off of his wrist, the ref took the chain off of the heel's wrist! So an advertised chain match became just a regular match. WTF? |

I just finished this week AEW. The first match was good, very solid and got Scorpio over big. Very well done. I was lost in the second match cause I know they could have had a great bout but booked a squash. Why waste a great opportunity?? Just saying... LOVE RIHO! The match was OK.
THEN they lost me completely. That tag match with the kid was beyond insulting. That is how you kill shows, and it killed it for me. I could not watch the rest because I was so pissed.
So good show until they killed it. I swear someone named Vince booked that...

Well for me there are so many different "extreme" matches or special stipulation ones that they need to make tweaks to make them different. Like a street fight means you can use weapons and have some leeway but follow other rules. Rules like rope breaks and no interference. Where as a No Holds Bared match or Anything Goes Match there would be no rope breaks and interference is allowed. |

I'm fine with falls and submissions not counting in the ropes in a street fight, but the counting and attempted forced breaks by the referee were a little too much.

I have started watching wrestling again since AEW came on. Darby Allin killed it against Jericho, even with his hands bound. The run in by Jake Hagar killed it a little bit for me, but it did not take away that much from the match. I cannot find it within myself to watch NXT, although there are some stars on there that I like. Once it gets really successful, you just KNOW Vince McMahon will stick his nose in and kill it. |

I thought episode 3 was the worst one yet . Okay it does sound like I am a AEW hater , bit I aint . Just cant get into Riho at all and especially as champion . Tag division is the best thing about AEW . Moxley/PAC match was good . Title match involving duck tape (remember the WWE Batista v Cena match) did it really need Hager to win the match for Jericho .

I'm hoping this means Allin with feud with Hager.. that would be a pretty good program, and booked correctly, can move Allin up the card without hurting Hager's role as Jericho's enforcer.
I agree Marco Stunt was ridiculous, and the big tag match after it was great, I hope not too many people swapped over to NXT while watching that silliness.
It does fit with AEW's booking, though... it was alot like Riho in the Women's title match, but at least there they were able to point our her Experience and such. Still, though, I don't love those little man/big man matches were it's so obvious the big guy is helping the little guy complete their offense.
Jericho, despite clearly being old and out of shape, and been amazing... who knew he would be the next Ric Flair?

Um, not trying to call you out on this but a Hager/Allin program wouldn’t be much different than the other situations you bring up. The size difference there is huge. Jericho made Darby look like a runt. |

That's true, but at least Allin is a legit wrestler. You're not wrong though, that's a good point.
