I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

If I were you, I'd be grateful that I *was able* go to the show given the last year and a half.

I felt some frustration at getting more of a "prelude" show, but that's mitigated by the fact I have a ticket for Arthur Ashe. I also get that circumstances have changed a lot in the last year-plus; Prudential Center was supposed to be the biggest venue they've drawn so far, but since then they've filled up United Center, did the Ashe experiment and filled it up, and now have all these other big stars, etc.
Regardless of any disappointment over not getting some bigger stuff happening compared with the original "we were supposed to get Blood and Guts" letdown, the atmosphere was definitely a party given how many people there were and how hyped the crowd was, in general.

Sounds like if you didn't get Blood and Guts, you were always going to be left disappointed.
This is where the 'card subject to change' thing comes into play.
Show was great though in my opinion.

There was supposed to be a Blood and Guts match?
In contrast, they could have just one Del Fuego match and I'll be fine because I am stoked about their NY debut and being able to say I was there

You can only "make good" to a certain extent on these delayed shows without it torpedoing everything you've got going on storyline wise.
I suppose the argument could be made that a Blood 'n Guts house-show style match could have been offered, but with such a big show next week, I can't blame AEW for not wanting to risk any injuries between now and then.
I mean, yeah, you got set-up show for the payoff show next week. That kinda sucks and I'm sorry, but it happens. The last wrestling show that I went to was the infamous "Revival Back Shaving" Raw. To that extent, I think you got off pretty well.

I'm sorry that you were bummed out, dude. I thought it was an enjoyable show and I think I had "first AEW show" blinders on, but I understand why people felt let down.

For me, a show with Danielson, Punk and Cole in it, is better than the damn blood and guts show from almost 2 years ago.

Weekly tv is a crapshoot. I bought tickets to both sunday tapings of impact, after christian won the title, thinking I would see him vs. Meyers, he didnt even work that day, he worked monday and tuesdays shows and only wrestled on the earlier tapings that I wouldn't have been able to make it to due to work. Still had a great time.
However I'll never go to a Raw taping again. Last Raw I went to was the Jason Jordan is Kurt Angles son episode. It was also when Vince was trying to make 205 Live a thing and there was THREE Titus World Wide segments, the Hardys and FTR wrestled a heatless match that went on forever, Balor got busted open the hardway by an Elias guitar shot, Bray and Mox who were my favorites didnt wrestle and just had a segment together, and Roman and Joe went through the motions for 15 minute before the show ended on a predictable Braun return. There wasnt even a dark match to send people home happy.
Yeah AEW has filler episodes and then have other shows that Im waiting for Tony to say "THIS IS THE BIGGEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT." If I was a fan in attendance I would have been annoyed to hear the card for next week, but then again everyone knew Archer Ash (sp?) was going to be huge.

Got nothing. Nothing even remotely trying to make up for the 18 months waiting and the loss of a two ring cage match. Might as well burnt my ticket cause f*** me I wanted to go to this show and not the NYC show next week I might get in trouble for saying this but whatever. This is some of the most entitled shit I have ever read on here. It's a pro wrestling show. Card subject to change. 18 months ago it was a completely different world for AEW. At least you got to go to a huge pro wrestling event.

Sucks to hear. I would've bought your ticket if you were looking to sell.

This is a wrestling forum so we already are talking from an area of privilege that we can talk about this but I had my hopes through a tough 18 months that this show would be great. It wasn't because the company wanted to make more money next week and could throw Soho vs Baker this week or if there is a tnt title match based on Rampage spoilers from this week instead.

You could have bought a ticket to Grand Slam and sold your ticket?
