sadly true, out of the 3 you listed I could only see Waller being interesting as far as a push goes, Hayes is a midcarder for life and Theory is a shitter imo, these kids dont understand wrestling and think anyone on the roster can just have the strap, and if WWE listened to them they would be like AEW,

This but swap Waller for Theory.

Those of you who watch WWE can recap it without even watching but AAA now gets the full WWE opening.

-then now forever together
- video package
- AND NOW TRIPLEMANIA BROUGHT TO YOU BY CRICKET
-shots of the city and arena
- National Anthem
- commentary talks about wrestlers as they arrive in cars and shit
- entrances for match one finally starts at least ten minutes in.

Wild to see. It’s too well put together. This sucks. Give me back my AAA that I watched once or twice a year and cried laughing at the train wreck.

Edit: and in between matches they’re showing celebs and wrestlers in the crowd. It’s fully just WWE Mexico.

Sounds fantastic.
Glad you’re suffering.

A Mexican who's gimmick is a viking

I always use Vikingo as an example of cultural appropriation against whites when leftoids try to start shit with me. They clam up instantly.

I'll go a step further: having WWE/NXT, AAA and TNA working together to some capacity is a good excuse to bring back the X-Cup World Series.

Wrestle War One.
Call the next one Wrestle War Two.
 
Catching up on the past few weeks of AEW and it feels like they are in another lull period. Not bad shows necessarily but they are just using a really thin slice of their roster in various configurations week to week (singles match with one guy, singles match with his buddy the next week, tag match with both the third week, trios with someone random guy after that, rinse & repeat). The Death Riders are still way too prominent on the show, putting Thekla with the Spooky Hot Girls is dumb and Tay Melo has somehow gotten even shittier since she came back from having a kid. Collision is fairly skippable, has far too much RoH shit going on and has at least 2 or 3 jobber squashes every single week.

Also, next to no build for Forbidden Door.
 
Dom must have drawn the short straw for who would not be getting a special entrance.

Both AEW and WWE are in a spot right now where they're not taking any risks or even trying to make things interesting. Same people being featured, same formula for the TV shows, weak builds to the PLEs/PPVs with little progress being made coming out of them. Even when "important" things happen, it doesn't change anything. WWE had Brock Lesnar return at SummerSlam after being away for two years, he hasn't been seen since and only mentioned once or twice. Cody got the title back and there's no story to his new reign aside from the usual "bad guy wants title and attacks champion" build to matches. AEW had their biggest show of the year last month where the unpopular heel champion finally lost and it was supposed to be this big moment for the company where the feeling is restored (a phrase I've come to loathe), yet the Death Riders shit continues like that never happened. Sure, both companies will have good or even great matches, but it's in service of nothing and on the whole it's boring.

This has always been a problem with AEW. They do nothing to build for a PPV then just throw together a bunch of matches the week of the PPV.

Honestly even if AEW lost their TV deal I could see Tony just doing monthly PPVs with "dream matches".

Just like their "Forbidden Door." "Dream matches" without any proper build-up whatsoever because their audience is expected to know them beforehand.
