Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

In reality at the moment I don't know what the fan base will be and it will take years to be true competition.
The 4 EVP's are constantly poking fun at themselves about becoming power hungry so they are self aware about it at least. The Bucks will hold the tag belts sooner rather than later and I guarantee Omega is their champ at some point and that makes perfect sense. In all their other stops, they drop the straps a ton as well so I am not too worried about them grabbing HHH's shovel any time soon.
The card for Double or Nothing is stacked at this point:
21 man battle royal (will likely see the return of Jon Moxley) - winner gets a title shot
Pac vs Hangman Page (could be match of the night)
Bucks vs Lucha Bros
Omega vs Jericho II
Cody vs Dustin
Best Friends vs Jack Evans/Angelico
There are a couple women's matches and also an SCU six-man match. There should be a few other matches announced unless all the other guys go into the battle royal (Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin, Joey Janela, MJF, Sammy Guevera, etc).
They also have compiled a cool list of refs - Earl Hebner, Paul Turner (ROH), Rick Knox (PWG), Bryce Remsburg (Chikara). [Reply]

At this point, 'Judy Bagwell on a pole' era WCW is a step up from senile Vince rewriting an entire 3 hour show in a day. [Reply]
Only saw highlights. Jesus fucking Christ, they tried to murder Finn.
Too bad they successfully made the fans believe that Brock hates them and doesn't want anything to do with wrestling in yet another failed attempt to get Roman over or this might actually mean something. [Reply]
As shitty as the WWE product is.....having access to all of their content plus PPVs for 10 bucks kinda trumps the idea of 50 dollars for a 3 hour ppv...
Good Luck AEW stuff like that is going to make a ton of people not consider you on price point alone. [Reply]

I would've told them to fuck off with those spots, clearly doesn't matter.

I subscribe to the WWE Network more for the old shows and stuff I missed more than anything else. [Reply]

I understand that but in todays world you can't sell me on a 50 dollar show, when I can watch the other one for 10 bucks plus all this other shit. [Reply]

The price point isn't good but you could watch 500 hours of recent WWE PPVs and get about 7 minutes of quality entertainment where with the AEW show, it is likely to be very entertaining about 75% or more of the time. [Reply]
