I like Max Castor's gimmick of having an open challenge and losing every one of them (legitimately I do since usually with open challenges the challengee never or rarely wins)
It's a good twist on the idea, and tbh I have no fucking clue where Max's story arc is gonna be going but yeah I'm enjoying it too.
My guess is he'll realize he needs the acclaimed after going on a losing streak
real talk; i want harley cameron to cash in on moxley, hurt syndicate, takeshita, garcia, death riders, and okada, win all the belts, and then go on to wrestle kingdom and win every njpw belt too.
like she should have so many belts she looks like gizmoduck
I just recently got into AEW, I’m a former hardcore, now semi-hardcore casual viewer. Triple H’s booking of Cena & Punk coming into Wrestlemania season has been atrocious. It’s mid February, they should have some sort of direction by now.
So I’m giving AEW a chance, never watched a full episode before, but I thought this was pretty good. There is a serious lack of variety in diversity in the roster though. There needs to be more distinct looks, Giants, High Flyers, Brawlers, etc. Different ring attires and promo approaches. But I’m going to stick with it and see what happens through the spring.
Oh and also, get Jericho off TV 😭, he’s so washed now bro
There's definitely more diversity than what you saw on this show. They honestly have some of the best high flyers in the game.
Keep watching, and wait until you see Top Flight or Private Party.
Oh and also, get Jericho off TV 😭, he’s so washed now bro
Don't expect it soon, unfortunately lol. He's been spending some of his time over on ROH so it hasn't been as bad Jericho-wise as of late at least (this weeks ROH was filmed on the Jericho Cruise).
As for the rest: AEW does have a good chunk of what you named, problem is: roster bloat. Some aren't being booked atm as there's only so much tv time.
Giants (not counting Paul Wight cause he should not be wrestling lmao) we got Big Bill, Brody, Luchasaurus and Satnam are the real big boys, but 1 is out injured and 1 is more a supporting character. high flyers they have like 29 of on the mens roster alone, brawlers? they got like 28 on the mens roster alone, etc etc.
No comment on the attire and promos that does vary lol.
Yeah I’m gonna give AEW a go. Still gonna watch WWE, but with how boring the NFL has gotten, I’m gonna add another wrestling show to my viewing schedule.
Also, why does AEW have so many titles and shows? It’s a similar problem I see with WWE. Mercedes has like 3 belts and I don’t even know which one is the important one, it feels like 2001 all over again 😭. And for the shows, unless WB is paying Khan big money for more programming, I’m getting Thunder vibes from shows like Collision or Rampage (have never watched either). AEW Dark is a nice cool little concept show though.
I’d also prefer they keep ROH separate from the main show like how NXT is. But that’s just personal preferences. For a new viewer who is completely unfamiliar with this roster outside of guys like Edge, Moxley, Omega, etc. (even AR Fox, followed dude a lot on the indies). It’s overwhelming with the amount of titles and shows for a new viewer, are these shows worth watching and what are the main title I should care about?
AEW only has 2 shows at this time, Dynamite and Collision. Rampage ended at the start of the year, and Dark/Dark Elevation were youtube shows which ended years ago. Plus ROH is its own thing, they just use AEW talent along with others hired mainly for ROH, you can skip ROH and not have it really impact your AEW experience (tho, the shows are usually good!).
Belts, you are spot on lol.
AEW: Men and women each have a World title. Each have a midcard "TV" title (the TNT, and TBS titles). And the men have the tag, and trios belts.
The International title was introduced as another midcard mens belt, but its never been clarified where it stands to the TNT title. higher? lower? alongside? why is it diff from the other belt? who knows.
The Continental Title was a weird attempt at making a triple crown title for AEW's Continental Classic (their take on NJPW's G1 Climax round robin tournament) by combining the ROH world title, the NJPW Strong title, and this belt itself (which did not exist before hand so how is it a triple crown?!). Those belts were split from it eventually, so as of right now its just another secondary title somewhere on par to the Intl/TNT titles and however they rank which also gets defended yearly in a round robin tournament.
ROH has (since I'm here):
Men and Women's world title, Men and Women's midcard belt (TV titles). Men have tag belts, and trios which should be retired or merged with AEW's trios already. They also have the Pure title which is a special rules division of more technical wrestling.
Thank you for the clarification. Ok, I’ll follow Dynamite and if something important is being advertised for Collision I’ll check it out maybe.
But yeah, as I suspected, there are way too many belts on AEW television for a new viewer to grasp. I’ll just stick with what you said.
World Title Women’s World Title
TNT Championship TBS Championship
Tag Championships
That’s much easier to follow imo

I can get behind Bayne vs Stat
I need more woman meat in my life so sign me up
I came in part way, but did Max Caster have an executive order from Trump declaring h the best wrestler?
Thank shit no lol, but he was holding a document from the trademark office for 'Best Wrestler Alive'.
Also fun fact: Max genuinely owns it for wrestling purposes, he registered it in 2021 lol
Harley is quickly becoming a highlight of AEW every week.
😅😅 I'm not sure MJF should've poked the bear
MJF: "I don't think you have the stomach for this"
Max, he drank blood and committed arson lol
I think MJF was trying to convince himself lol
It feels like mistake lol
The Gunns, so hot right now
Glad they're back
MJF may be a generational talent, but Hangman is clinically insane
Does hitting the briefcase means he cares or doesn't?
Y'all didn't even open the damn thing! Again!!!!
MJF should really quit while he's behind.
Roddy just out here breaking everyone's back, and noone can stop him
I caught Dustin’s promo from the other night. Great stuff as usual, he really can just step up and keep people interested when they give no other reason to care about what MJF is doing.
Should be a good show, I tried avoiding spoilers since it's not live but failed miserably.
I was in Atlanta last week and the show was electric! I feel like there’s a good direction in the show now, though I’m hoping we see one of Omega or Ospreay dethrone Mox
I agree, I feel like the last few shows have really hit their stride again.
I think we're coming out of the chaos of last year and they're getting their feet back under them.
Crotch chop!
Jon Cruz needs to talk to that Serpentico guy
Serpentico vs Jon Cruz feud of the century gogogo
MY INTERVIEW!
😭😭 Because of technical difficulties I missed Hangman vs Max
Also Max is free if you have Dashpass
And Max is a billion times better than Sling while being a lot cheaper
Finally someone stole the suitcase!
A Copeland and Jay White team is devious as hell
Not gonna lie love the idea
My head canon is they skipped down the hallway giggling
It would behoove the bad apple to remember who her husband is
That stomp to stop the pin maaaaay have been a little late
Luckily for the Death Riders Knox is a dramatic ref
Willow has such bad luck with interviews
On the plus side maybe she'll finally start neutralizing Marina Shafir
Did Max borrow Cole's spray tan bottle?
