All Elite Wrestling (On Triller TV and ESPN)

[Ry009]

Ok folks. This thread has seen some heated and divisive chat that is taking discussion away from the week to week product. Going forward any WWE vs AEW related discussion should take place here. Examples of this are obviously the CM Punk, Ospreay and Triple H type stuff.

Hot Topic : Tribalism in Wrestling

Rightio folks. Going to trial this as a way for people to express their opinions on the more divisive topics in wrestling in a more controlled environment. The last few years has seen the rise of toxicity in the IWC reach fever pitch, and personally think this board has a great group of...

While constructive critisism is fine, repetitive opionions that have no intention of producing good faith discussion will be deleted. Repeat offenders will end up with thread bans. You're all clever enough to know the difference.

Personally the less Callis on my show, the better. But hopefully the angle works in the end.

Really? I think Callis would be great with Takeshita.

Yeah, I don't mind the "face looks to take on a heel manager, before realising they can succeed without them". It's a good use for Callis.

The best use of Callis would be sending him back to Impact.

He adds literally nothing to AEW.

Disagree. I think he’s a great heel manager and decent on commentary.

Disagree. I think he’s a great heel manager and decent on commentary.

“decent on commentary” in a company that has too many colour commentators. 4 people in a commentary booth takes away from a match, it’s distracting.

Plus he’s really not needed for The Elite, it’s just an extra body that adds nothing to the roster.

I stand by my comment— the best use of Callis would be sending him back to Impact

Holy heck

Not according to TNA’s female talent, allegedly.

How did he die?

How did he die?

Car accident.

The story could yet get so much worse - Alvarez tweeted a note from the school his kids go to and his wife works at cancelling classes due to a major tragedy.

2 adults killed and 2 people in critical condition as a result of the crash. Obviously no names or confirmation yet.

Posting a note from his kids school is pretty disrespectful at this time IMO.

While Jay was a professional wrestler, his family are not celebrities—- there is absolutely no need to be sharing content from their local community to wrestling fans on social media.

Sad news. RIP

It's a significant news event. I think that's appropriate.

No sensitive details or anything, jumping at shadows.

Jay didn’t work at the school—- his family did.

Jay is the public figure, thus why it’s “significant”—- but his family isn’t.

The school shared that to their community, they never intended for it to end up being shared with wrestling fans half a world away.

It was picked up in plenty of "normal" news reports as well.

Delaware school district closed after death of pro wrestler Jay Briscoe at age 38

According to Sports Illustrated, Jay Briscoe was killed in a crash in Laurel, Delaware.

A couple of reports have mentioned he volunteered as a football coach there.

I do accept the point though, it’s a bit tacky.

Why did the Bucks not bring the Trios titles with them to the ring? 7 matches for the belts to only be forgotten about the following week.

Was anyone else audio poor through the middle part of the show?

 

[nobbyiscool]

TK tweeted they’re filming an ROH Jay Briscoe special after Dynamite. I hope it wasn’t Warner still refusing a lot of mentions. It’ll be free on YouTube and Honor Club, but no word when.

Danielson and Bandido was mad today, and the Bucks & Top Flight was great too.

I was disappointed that Ruby Soho was the one to rescue Willow, the promo before the match made it seem like we were going down the path of home growns vs imports, and flip most of the division - which would’ve completely rejuvenated it and made it interesting.

Could still go that way, with Britt & Jaymie the other man players, but I would’ve preferred Ruby just stay away from the feud after last weeks banger.

Yeah basically the start of the Bucks match. Ended half way through. Yay FITE.

 

[Nicho50]

Hate how they are booking people having to wrestle a bunch of other people before they get to MJF. Its been done a couple of times already now.

There was plenty of mentions of Jay Briscoe on Dynamite-- both the arm bands, but also multiple mentions by the commentators.

It was more than what needed to be done considering Jay wasn't an AEW wrestler.
