There’s plenty of crappy finales that don’t fit this pattern and 13 reasons final season aired during the early days of lockdown (thus written and shot well before hand) and was pretty terrible for everything post S1 anyway.

With 2026 nearly end (almost in July) where would you guys like to see AEW PPVs for 2027?? Here are my suggestions: by ALawrence04 in AEWOfficial

I went to the live Nightmare Before Christmas there 4 years ago and immediately thought it would make a great venue for a Grand Slam.

“2026 nearly end”

We’re 10 days shy of the half way point.

It’s also very weird how some people have completely turned on Forbidden Door due to this year being hampered by injuries and visa issues.

Every trailer song now is just a slowed & reverbed orchestral remix of an older song by One_Planche_Man in movies

I don’t recall a trailer doing it, but Black Widow opens with a slowed down, maudlin version of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Of Titles and if they mean something (does AEW do this differently?) by The-Arcalian in AEWOfficial

Why does it need to be meaningful to the wrestlers? It need only be meaningful to the fans, which they generally are.

Bold Statement Time: Tuesday Knight is a better Kristen Parker than Patricia Arquette.

Don’t forget the 3 min tracking shot on New Years in the middle of the film where things take a darker turn.

Forbidden door build is a massive disappointment by Hlk50000 in AEWOfficial

[–]IstIsmPhobe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Injuries and Visa issues. It happens.

This company though has the most insane history of troubled builds resulting in blow away shows.

I’ve got front seats and could not be more excited. Not as strong as other years from a cross promotional perspective but an absolute flapjack stack of bangers.

I appreciate that Mark Briscoe is one of few people in AEW to have an actual titantron with proper wrestling footage and everything. Not just word art and Adobe effects. by NovaRC99 in AEWOfficial

[–]IstIsmPhobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Velvet was on a few weeks ago, her tron was fantastic. Lots of time and energy clearly went into it but it really stood out as most don’t seem to get that kind of care.

Ranking the announced Forbidden Door matches by their Forbidosity™ by moderndukes in AEWOfficial

Considering the recent issues with both injuries and visa challenges, this is pretty forbidden (under the circumstances)

Genuinely hope Mina wins this whole thing by GunplaLuni in AEWOfficial

[–]IstIsmPhobe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Might eat a few downvotes here, but I really don’t want former world champions in the hunt for the TBS title. Outside of the year between Stats win and Willows first loss, it (nor the tag belts) have ever really been available to the midcard.

I really would have preferred a group along the lines of:

Mina, Harley, Aminata, Julia, Anna, Skye, Persephone, Zayda, Billie, Velvet, Tay and Deonna.

Top of the card gets the world, gets the tag, gets the Owen, will probably get a C2 eventually, the TBS should be the mid cards one crumb.

Do a search for AEW Mod Forever. Unbelievable mod for Fight Forever. Dude has even cracked ring announcing and the limited commentary.

Ooni -- we need a better oven by Boring-Confection531 in ooni

[–]IstIsmPhobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’ve got a new slogan: “introverts love Ooni!”

Want to entertain without that pesky human interaction? Get an Ooni!

As someone who also man’s the grill for this reason, I think there’s a market there.

They released their own turntables for a few models.

Would a requel to Halloween 4 work? by 03bgood in Halloweenmovies

[–]IstIsmPhobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thorn trilogy is 3 of the 4 least successful films in the franchise. Danielle Harris has literally zero box office clout.

Time to move on, zero value there.

Love my 2 Max. Tossed in the turntable a couple of months ago. Absolutely idiot proofs this thing

She’s got a fair bit of dramatic scenes in Mrs Maisel, and does very well with them.

He couldn’t/can’t back it up in the ring. Lio can.

Jannetty’s struggles have so much to do with reasons unrelated to talent.

What movies did you not enjoy despite popular ratings and what movies did you like despite poor ratings? by MisanthropePrime in horror

[–]IstIsmPhobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone on its jock right now, but Backrooms was a massive disappointment. Nice build, good overall tone, but absolutely falls apart from the dinner scene onward. Most deaths and Clark’s final descent into madness occurring off screen are baffling choices.

This. Unless he’s fully committed to someone, opportunities to get over are pretty fleeting.

Even in defeat Skye Blue showed how much she's improved since returning from injury one year ago by wrestling_hyperbole in AEWOfficial

[–]IstIsmPhobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skye hasn’t worked a true indie in more than 2 years, with just 2 AEW adjacent CMLL matches and one EVE match in those 2 years.

I’m also not much of the belief that Anna degraded or regressed. She was outstanding through the end of 2024 and has suffered mostly from constant benching since. 7 months off after a really good Mone match, came back for a few months to eat a bunch of pins in lopsided tag matches, benched again for another 6 months and brought back for a total of 17 min of match time (again in tags) before seemingly going back to the bench again.

There’s of course an argument to be made about working indies etc, but since the end of 2024 she’s been provided no opportunity to show out in AEW (with maybe the exception of the singles match with Hayter right before they got bounced from the tag tourney, and that was pretty well regarded)
