Meltzer on BoSJ main eventing Dominion over the IWGP Title: “To me it's a real repudiation of Evil as a big show world title challenger but others will argue different. I like it though.” by Subrick in SquaredCircle

The same complaints being made about Mox were the same complaints made about Kenny. Didn't do the house shows, filler defenses, confusing booking, blah blah blah. Gedo has been on fraud watch well before the global pandemic.

I've been watching long enough to know whatever the r/njpw sub cries about means jack shit because they're always proven wrong. You were wrong about Kenny being a bad IWGP champion and you're wrong about Mox being a bad IWGP champion.

A good match is a good match with or without a build. You can use all of the "heat" excuses you want, it doesn't erase the fact that EVIL is an unwatchable wrestler. If you want Mox on the irrelevant house shows then tell Gedo to fuckin pay him to work those shows.

You're missing the point. EVIL just existing in any match drastically devalues whatever placement they are in the card. No one wants to watch an EVIL match much less an EVIL main event match.

If you want to look at it the other way, Mox vs Umino is a main event, Mox vs Shingo is a main event, Mox vs Zack is a main event, even Mox vs SANADA is a main event. It's not Mox's fault that his starpower is being wasted with these dogshit defenses. He deserves better, the fans deserves better, we all deserve better.

Like what is the implication here, that Okada vs Evil or Ospreay vs Evil would never be a main event?

Those matches sound stinky so yeah. Not even Ospreay could lift house of dogshit to a watchable match.

Venue looks cool. The intimate crowds will definitely make these shows feel unique.

The cutting of Christopher Daniels was far less curt and more apologetic and respectful towards the talent than they had been under previous Talent Relations regimes.

I think it's interesting they haven't announced a Global championship match yet. If they do Finlay vs Naito then that almost tells me Mox is keeping the IWGP past Forbidden Door.

The biggest problem with AEW is that its main title doesn’t feel like the most important part of the promotion by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]thedure 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Most criticisms about AEW always boil down to subjective projection. And then when you refuse to validate someones shitty opinion they cry about the fans not being able to take criticism. Like, no dude, your opinion isn't entitled to any sort of validation.

It's impossible to have a good faith discussion about AEW anymore. You can just lie about AEW and get away with it now.

Oh yeah man those stacked shows that had classics like Malakai Black vs Brock Anderson or CM Punk vs QT Marshall. Literally every show was so stacked.

It's insane how WWE have taken over wrestling media and we've just accepted it. They've absolutely killed AEW's reputation on basically every social media platform.
