Fingers crossed if there will be an AEW PPV event in Houston/San Antonio on December 14th. I noticed AEW: Dynamite live tapings at Garland and Corpus Christi in mid-December. Anyone planning on attending them?

Gonna do my best to go to the Garland show

After watching Bayley and Sasha Banks win the women's tag team championship in the Elimination Chamber, I think all vacant tag titles should be settled in that manner.

I'm trying to give AEW a chance, but their women's division sucks, and their tag matches have been really chaotic and not well paced.

So they're WWE pre-1998?

AEW is way more entertaining than the crap WWE hashes out. Unpredictability. New wrestlers. Getting the WCW early feel. Which I always liked over WWE.

Texas A&M got a little shoutout during Keith Lee's match on NXT tonight. That's pretty cool imo.

It's like watching homemade porn. Every once in a while you get something amazing, but you've gotta wade through a bunch of poor production, awkward moments, and some downright ugliness to get to it.

It's week 3. Some great tv shows took over a season (20+ episodes) to find their groove

It is cool to see Neville and Dean Ambrose working a tag match together, even if JR can't get their names right.

I just prefer AEW over WWE and its not really close.

Not even remotely close!! I agree!!

I'm typically out on Wednesdays so don't get to watch dynamite, but the dark matches on YouTube are nice to see. Some great matches...and some God awful horrible ones too, but ice to see what happens after the TV cameras stop

I wish Tony Schiavone was the main analyst. He's pretty good IMHO. Jim Ross is not too bad, but he's not what he used to be.

AEW has more of a NJPW feel as well, especially in the tag match I'm watching on DVR right now with PAC, Mox, Hangman, and Kenny Omega. Move after move after move chained together. Much better than WWE tag matches.

I agree on Schiavone.

So many of the guys in AEW just look too small. Even Moxley has slimmed down.

Like this Darby Allin guy. Obviously a great athlete, but it's hard to take it serious against Jericho who has 50+ lbs on him. And the stuff with the hands bound is creative and entertaining, can't discount that.

So many of their spots also have some terrible timing.

I cannot get behind Sammy Guevara. Just looks so out of place.

That was a great tag match. The one with the Lucha Warriors was decent. The rest were pretty awful.

Why are there rope breaks in a street fight? Some weird rules issue that HIAC has.

Yeah, his schtick sucks.

That's weird, and their tag match rules on who can be in the ring are nonsensical and make the matches hard to follow.

The Joey Janela vs Omega match was a ppv quality main event

They've mentioned a&m in every Keith Lee match I've seen on nxt. I know it is super unlikely, but I hope he wins the north American title next week.

Cant please everyone. Aew just feels so much fresher to me compared to wwe.

Yes, WWE has much more talent. But their stories are bland.

They put over Shane (lame).
They put over Brock (who only wrestles at PPV's and never defends the title at a regular show like Seth Rolilns) - (lame)
They put over Roman Reigns, who has no personality and is an average wrestler (lame).
They don't put over multiple wrestlers who are very skilled at wrestling and on the mic, and instead bury them in the undercard, or as jobbers (lame).

Their management is old and tired and doesn't really change. They need someone other than Vince making stories (he's not good at it).

It'll dip below next week with the world series and NBA starting

DAE feel like the WWE women's division has better storylines that makes for more interesting characters than the men's division right now?

I find Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Bayley fun to watch and entertaining on the microphone. Only person who interests me on the men's side right now is The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

I'm hoping to see more of Elias now that he is healthy again, love his schtick.

Started thinking about the made up wrestlers WCW vs NWO Revenge today. Remember Brickowski?

Weren't they all New Japan or All Japan guys with different names? I think I remember hearing that somewhere

I think so, they had their movesets -- but obviously had to change the character sprites.

Just looked it up -- Brickowski was Mil Mascaras

Loved all those games!!!
