I absolutely love AEW so far...I really don’t think they could have done any better a job establishing the promotion in this pre-TV period. I haven’t been this excited about wrestling in well over a decade.
But, I will admit that there are a few guys who keep being featured who I wasn’t previously familiar with, and they aren’t necessarily explaining who they are or why I should care about them. Jimmy Havoc and Dark Order are the biggest example. Although, I will say, that Cody/Darby match was amazing and told me all I need to know about who Darby Allin is and what he’s all about, so they’re definitely capable, it’s just some of the less featured guys are falling through the cracks a little.

There were two things tonight that I didn’t like but loved at the same time. The chair shot and that bump Darby Allen took to the apron. Brutal but amazing. Didn’t like the dumb Batista thing in the elite entrance, real specific thing to reference and surely went over people’s heads. Hate the hadoken spot. I feel like the batista kid was just to justify the raging demon attack. Someone had to get it at least Well, Double or Nothing referenced HBK superkicking a random intern played by Shawn Spears, so they must have a thing for referencing decade old segments almost no one remembers.

To be fair I think if you watch BTE you kinda get used to it.

Don’t ask my friend Brian that question...he’s liable to get angry and give you a bullet pointed list. He HATES AEW...the Bucks...Cody...Hangman...everything about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Different strokes I guess. You could have tagged me in this. I wouldn't get offended. But yes, I do hate all three of those people that you mentioned. But as I told you earlier, I tried to watch some of it tonight against my better judgement. But that unprotected chair shot to the head was stupid and I turned it off immediately after that. I'm not going to get upset that people like AEW. I've said in another thread before that it is a good thing that there is another place for wrestlers to earn a decent paycheck. There's nothing there though that intrigues me so I just refuse to watch. Plus if I never have to see a Young Bucks or Hangman Page match ever again, my life is a better place.

Was just a weird rip on an already weird piece of wrestling weirdness.

The comedy on the preshow was painfully awful, on par with shit like Lashley's sisters and Bayley: This is your life.
After that? Nothing major, besides excessive false finishes which have become an epidemic all over. Wrestling is best when there's variety and there's been something for every kind of fan on these shows.

Undercard comedy relief, the librarian gimmick needs to disappear for good, its not funny, just make Nakazawa the comedy relief guy of the company, like how Bahh is in Impact, R-Truth in WWE, Cheeseburger in ROH.
Dark Order: They can be fixed with small tweaks.
The signing of Allie: So far seems that Impact was right in letting her go.

The Dark Order just seemed to come out of nowhere, with no explanation of who they are, why they have masked minions, or anything about them really being explained. Even The Librarians have a concrete backstory for those that watch the product (even if the material itself isn't connecting), but these guys spent so much time away from the US indy circuit, that they can't just waltz in doing whatever they were doing and expect everyone to know about it. Honestly? I'm not usually a fan like this, but like, considering how glaring it is My least favorite thing about The Dark Order is that half of them are ridiculously out of shape dudes in masks that accentuate just how out of shape they are. Like, they look f***ing ridiculous. They look a strip club show as done by the wobbling masked men in Night Trap. Woman: "Ew, he's fat!" Dark Order member: *wobbling* "Just more of me to love, honey."

There is nothing I actively dislike but again I am not using these ppvs to judge what they are bringing to the table.
I simply have not been wowed by anything they have done up to this point.

The "Being The Elite" theme song has "Superkick Party!" as some of its lyrics. The Jacksons really love their superkicks.

Kinda where I'm at too. I enjoyed the show, but I won't be telling anyone that they absolutely must watch Fyter Fest.

The Librarian gimmick reminded me alot of Daffneys Governor gimmick in TNA.

Admittedly thus far I'm pretty sketchy on the Page push. Not having really been exposed to him much before, based on his AEW work thus far I'm not really seeing why I'm supposed to care about this guy. Not seeing any reason to dislike him granted, but he's just kind of there. Same here. I'm not seeing anything from Page that screams "World champion material ". He's not terrible but not great neither.
