The OtherArena

I’m pretty much done with Dynamite. As Yohe has mentioned, it’s turned into Nitro. Or something close to it. It feels like all they know is a WWE-style product and think the ‘good’ WWE stuff is the ...

I think the first thing they need to do is get the following on TV every week, either in a match or a promo, etc.:

Omega
Jericho
Moxley
Cody
Darby Allin
MJF

The others like the tag division ...

I thought the show was decent overall, but still some head scratching booking involved. The opener was a good opener because it got the crowd into it. It was a fun match that furthered the feud betw ...

I started to watch and then flipped to something else. Then re-watched the rest. This was very mediocre. Not insulting to my intelligence bad, but very uninspiring type of bad.

Too much stuff lo ...

I think this points to one of the hurdles that the AEW has to overcome. Being on Wednesday and with RAW and Smackdown on Monday and Tuesday, respectively...there's just too much wrestling going on be ...

Much, much better show tonight. Just when my hope for AEW was waning, they deliver a very solid show with some great matches. There were still some poor execution issues in the brawls and non-wrestl ...

I actually didn't like the show. The booking has holes in it, it feels too much like a WWE product except with better announcing and all of that starts to make me notice the shitty parts of the in-ri ...

I've only gotten to see some of Full Gear after a long day doing other stuff.

Cody vs. Jericho was excellent. I would have preferred them to draw out the MJF turn as well. I think they could have ...

I didn't get to watch Dynamite until late as I foolishly thought that Jim Boeheim would bring forth an actually competent offense to basketball. Instead, I questioned if they were going to score more ...

This episode was disjointed and felt like a bit like an old Nitro and a ‘good’ version of Raw. But, they had a good main event and got the crowd into it after the 10 o’clock hour.

Page vs. Guevara ...

Teenage me would have loved Lucha Bros vs. Private Party. 20's me would have shat all over it. Current day me didn't like the match and sees the glaring holes, but also recognizes the crowd was real ...

I enjoyed the show very much although they peaked with the Inner Circle vs. Cody and Co. segment and really couldn’t quite get back that momentum afterward. Overall, I would consider it a victory, bu ...

I've watched three times now, and I don't care about it. So I'm done with it. Don't like there style of flying around....without any wrestling. It will turn into WCW if it doesn't get cancelled. I don ...

I tried to watch AEW Dark. I like the concept, but I wasn't impressed by who they have on the show. Then I tried to watch it this week and they had Peter Avalon on the first match and I would rather ...

Overall this show didn’t excite me as much as it did the live audience. For me the biggest issue is that it was a lot of tag matches and their tag teams all do very similar things. One thing I notic ...
