Reminded me of Kevin Nash
Pants way to baggy for mine.
WWE problems: 80% of the product is garbage
AEW problems: A wrestler’s pants are too baggy.
Did he fake going for the sister Abigail?

AEW copped it initially for some dumb character ideas, but holy crap they shone in this environment. They all existed in this strange, silent ecosystem and somehow it felt authentic because you know everyone has full control of their own character.
In his promo. Cant remember the whole thing but said to Daniels hes not the first old man to not believe on me.

Great show. The random wrestlers in the crowd helped add to the atmosphere, and having the stage as the main background rather than empty seats was a good idea.
not sure why Hardy wasn't mic'ed up to do his Delete chants.

I really enjoyed today's show. They make the little things so much fun - the Brandi Rhodes graphic that said "Said she'd never ring announce again" and the Adam "Handswash" Page who "has been social distancing since November."
The presentation was better than the WWE shows have been. Not enormously so - but the WWE shows made me not want to watch next week. This didn't. Having the wrestlers doing bits on the outside - MJF might be the most entertaining guy in the world last night - made a huge difference. So did not lighting the empty friggen seats.
It was interesting that they kept referring to matches on "next Dynamite." It doesn't sound like they have much confidence that they'll be shooting next week.
If that's the case, why aren't they just filming the show tomorrow? They seemed to have everyone that they needed at the show today.
I also really loved the Archer vignette. I've not been a big fan of his in TNA or in New Japan, but I really just enjoy anything that's a bit creative and a bit different. You aren't getting that vignette in WWE or New Japan.

That's not hard to achieve, especially after Super Cena buries Wyatt once and for all at Bingo Hall Mania.

One other comment that I left out.
My only minor quibble with the show was Hardy (seemingly) returning as his TNA character, as though the last 3 years hadn't happened. I feel like Hardy has enough different ideas that he could've come to AEW with. He'd been doing the YouTube "unkillable" stuff playing off the Orton attacks, he'd been doing the "you have no idea how hard it is to be Matt Hardy stuff"... then he comes back as the same guy that he was 3 years ago.
I'm keen to see where it goes - he should actually take the fall in Blood and Guts, but the storyline arc suggests The Elite are winning that - cos I think it'd lead to something more interesting.

with Hardy he is probably going back to a gimmick that was way over, before It was buried by WWE creative. By going back, he can reconnect with the fans on that level before reinventing a new gimmick. Him and Jericho are the best 2 at knowing how to change and reinvent themselves.
OMG imagine the pops if a crowd was there...

It gives them a storyline reason to tape stuff at House Hardy if needed.
AEW still undefeated this decade.

Don't bother with NXT now Vince McMahon's hands are all over it.

Its not even an insult.
The likes of Stone Cold, HHH, Jericho and Mick Foley were WCW rejects under this theory, worked out Ok for them.

To be fair... none of Austin, HHH, Jericho or Foley were 45 years old with a 27-year wrestling career behind them & also being a key player in some of the most physically demanding matches in Professional wrestling history when they moved from WCW to the WWF.
I love Matt Hardy--- but he's in AEW for his character work, not to be a top level player.

They werent WWE rejects though. Hardy rejected WWE and WWE wouldn’t release Lee.
Are they going to say the Revival are rejects because WWE didn’t book them after they knew they wouldn’t re-sign?

I don't really believe in the notion of a "WWE reject" these days.
From what we hear through dirt sheets, over the last 5-10 years your fate in WWE has been decided by one ancient guy who isn't current with pop culture or young fans. These guys, for the most part, weren't rejected by fans or by writers, they were rejected by VKM. Certainly that's the case with Brody Lee and the Revival.

It's those in a WWE bubble that think Matt Hardy isn't anything special because he is a mid carder there that was very restricted in what he could do with his own creative. Outside of there he has shown he can be a top guy, when he was doing the broken stuff he was one of the most over guys in ALL wrestling, just look at the reaction at Mania.
His best in ring work is behind him but he is hardly Goldberg level restricted. There has also been plenty of worse ring workers over with a good character.
