Both Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival seem dead-set on leaving WWE and opting to bet on themselves by exploring new endeavors. The team has reportedly turned down hefty offers from the company of $700K per year. Vince McMahon obviously cannot force them to stay with WWE so both men will most likely … Read moreThe Revival turned down Sizable Contract Offers and EC3 Uptake

AEW isn’t quite as kid-friendly as WWE, which probably helps the company get higher TV ratings in the 18-34-year-old demographic group. The final segment of the night was a perfect example of this: WWE would never allow for one superstar to lash someone 10 times with a leather belt, but AEW did and it’s awesome. … Read moreAEW Dynamite – 2/5/2020

Finally, the woman who this company is built around is being pushed like it. She is executing her de facto heel turn surprisingly well. Since she is the company’s first signee on the female side, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see her as AEW Women’s Champion sooner rather than later (probably by summertime). … Read moreFemale Face of AEW Turning Heel

Live from Chris Jericho’s Rockin’ Wrestling Rager at Sea Hosting special events like this combined with the partnership with a major name like Chris Jericho – or Le Champion, is a brilliant way for the company to turn casual fans into diehards.

DDP just seems to fit on TNT and not anywhere else, because his gimmick hasn’t gotten over very well since his WCW days nearly 18 years ago. He’s not bad as a performer for an old guy. MJF is also maybe the most unlikable heel in the history of professional wrestling. As JR put it, … Read moreProgression in Storylines

Taz will fit right in with the announcing style of Jim Ross and Excalibur. There was an emphasis placed on advancing all storylines in AEW to let fans know which superstars and which stories will be spotlighted to start the decade. The main event was somewhat disappointing because there were no real stakes in the … Read moreStage Set For 2020

The opening match of the night kicked off Dynamite in a great way with no commercials. The final episode of 2019 had a stacked card and brought a Pay-Per-View atmosphere. The night was booked very well overall. The Young Bucks could have afforded to win, but that’s neither here nor there. SCU is an excellent … Read moreDark Order Finally Established

AEW has two primary focus points in the early days of the company’s existence. Focus Point 1 The first is to provide a platform in the wresting industry that has a very real feel to it and one in which superstars can honestly and authentically be themselves. This will serve to create a level of … Read moreAEW Primary Goals

Chris Jericho delivered A Little Bit of The Bubbly and a successful title defense on Dynamite; also, a potential showdown with Jon Moxley looks like it’ll happen sooner rather theme later – and that’s awesome! Kenny Omega needed a victory against a credible opponent to regain some of his confidence after losing the Lights Out … Read moreLe Champion Celebration

The men’s division in AEW – particularly the top 10 or so guys – is virtually on par with that of WWE. There are absolutely no concerns in that department. The character development of the guys in AEW is every bit as good and in some ways a little better than WWE. It cannot be … Read moreContrasting AEW & WWE Rosters
