[Glenn's Take]

How far has Dominic fallen? Just watching Raw and he lost clean to Dragon Lee.

 

[Laparkafan]

Whoever the nxt champ is I don’t see it - he’s just a transitional champ?

 

[GeraldV]

Swerve needs a couple partners, seems like. Wonder if that is how New Day debuts?

I was thinking that was gonna happen tonight once he came back

I really wish AEW would stop going to Vegas, I can’t even remember the last time they’ve gotten a good crowd there. I’m talking in terms of quality, not quantity. Scheduling Vegas after those Detroit and Mexico shows makes it especially bad.

Meh, there are some bad crowds but maybe the show just wasn't great? The entire state of KY isn't into AEW apparently, Cincinnati, Vegas, etc. Nothing can compete with last week but AEW can't just run the same five cities all year, every year lol. Jack Perry wrestled AEW's version of John Cena, Nick Wayne was in the same match as the former champion. They gotta make fans care about those skinny goofs or hide them on Collision.

No, Vegas just sucked. Sucked for Mania two years in a row. Has sucked for AEW for years even for PPVs. Just a trash wrestling city.

I mean I see folks on the socials saying the show wasn't great or just okay. AEW isn't immune to mid shows. At Summerslam when Corbin came out, there was no reaction. That's not the crowd's fault, it's WWE's for bringing back someone no one was clamoring for and immediately tossing that person into a title match. It's neat he's getting another shot but you gotta make fans care. I even saw a few on "the" Reddit blame WWE for the Vegas crowd tonight lol.

It's every show in Vegas. Regardless of what the quality is. These people haven't seemingly given a crap about AEw since the debut show back in 2019. But TK just keeps on going back there for some godforsaken reason. I'm not talking putting them on a permaban list, just needs to just be removed from the calendar for a year or two. With as frequently as they tape Collision alongside Dynamite there's plenty of other places they can go in place of Vegas.

Baron Corbin return was a good idea in theory because he's a good veteran hand and he was probably cheap, but how he's been booked as an older guy is WCW 1999/2000 level stupidity - bring in an "old" guy and have young talent put him over. At least with WCW they were doing it with big stars like Hogan and Nash, Corbin is a career midcarder who had last held a WWE singles title 9 years ago.

Meanwhile, talking about stupid booking, we're just over two weeks out from All In and Thekla is currently looking like she might be left off the card entirely. Unless there are legitimate extenuating circumstances keeping her away, this is booking malpractice.

This is kind of sad to read. One of the most influential indie wrestlers in history.

Isn’t she in Japan with Julia and skye?
