I enjoyed it more than last week so I gave it an 8.
Hopefully not every week ends in a huge brawl though...

I guess a 6. I might do better to watch this the next day because it just seemed slow in places. The women’s tag was a huge bore as was the Allin/Havoc match. The opening tag was amazing though. The main event I probably would have enjoyed it without Hagar (and JR’s commentary about him). Said it before and I’ll say it again, he isn’t a badass and standing there stone face while they go over what a bad ass he is does nothing. Oh, and Jericho, please less snarky shoot comments. One show needs to be above it, please. Same here. Still an enjoyable show, and closer to a 7 than to a straight 6 (so 6.5, I guess), but the show never reached again the highs of the early tag match, and I kind of tuned out towards the end (it doesn't help that I don't really care for any of the players involved in that stable war). (or for Mox & Spears) And I concur re: Jericho's promo, which was fun, but somewhat cringy in its pandering & snark.

9 Loved the show it was a total improvement over last week.
The opener was fun had lots of energy and both teams got over.
The Jericho promo was fantastic.
Loved that PAC’s storyline is the AEW’s booking makes no sense and he’s totally correct.
The commentary was alot better you can tell their starting to get comfortable with eachother.Really liked Tony & JR putting over Excalibur.
Loved seeing Chuck Taylor on national tv.Next we need him on commentary with Excalibur for one of these tag tournament matches.
They need to have Sammy talk shit and hide behind Hager.
The main event was good and the post match was tremendous with multiple stories coming together.
What I wasn’t a fan of: The use of Moxley so far.He felt like such a big deal at DoN then they did the epic fail of the Janela match and he still hasn't cut a promo.That Spears match was not good.
No Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus
The women’s match wasn’t very good.
I wish they would give less to the guys that are losing to people who are getting a world title shot I’d want the person getting a title shot to have more of that all important momentum.

7/10. - Last week's felt like a better show to me. This one was good but it felt a bit off on some parts. - Jericho's dope but it feels like he's not trying to be a great heel at times. Felt like he was pandering too much, that shooty shoot stuff just makes his whole "we're not in a war with em" look lame. - Some matches were dope, some matches I honestly didn't care about much like the women's match and that Darby/Havoc match. - The ending of the event was cool. I watched away from the site and social media and without that it felt a bit different to me. Cool show though. Yea pretty much same for me. It’s 7.5 if anything but it was a good step forward from last week but this isn’t a perfect show. All these 10s are def based upon enjoyment and that’s good but if grading this show without bias along with enjoyment I think 7-8 is fair One thing NXT has the edge over AEW is the Women division, its still a long work in process, Dustin or whoever is the road agent for the AEW Women division needs to help Bea so badly, like do they want to wait until she cripples Britt or what?

Strong 9 for me.
Opener was brilliant, Jerichos promo was that unscripted gold. Darby Allin looking great. Mox/spears was a fun brawl. Guererra and Page came out that tag match looking like stars, with the vets doing what they do best.
What I will say though is something is not clicking with Britt, was hoping she had a better showing than the match on AEW Dark, but it was just passable at best.
Other than that, another great showing, cannot remember the last time I legit looked forward to a weekly wrestling show.

The show has already hit the big time. It has troll hates.

8. Really fun. My initial fears of not feeling included as a WWE viewer are slowly subsiding and they're doing a great job of integrating more unknown talent into the mainstream and giving me a reason to care. NXT is still my fav show in all honesty but this is 10x more watchable than RAW or Smackdown at the moment.

I'll give it a 9. It was top drawer. The most entertained and engaged I've been by a wrestling show in years.

I gave it a 10. It was pretty much a perfect non-ppv weekly wrestling show.
For the record, I gave last week an 8 because it was really good, but not perfect.

Finally got around to watching it, and it's an easy 10. It's so good. I'm not tired by the end, I just want more. Like, even Spears/Moxley, which was probably my least favourite match, was fine for what it was. Like, it didn't feel like I was watching some lousy Ambrose/Dillinger SmackDown match that zero stakes attached. This show is just proof that if you treat your audience with respect, it can a long way to winning them over to the product you want to produce. It just feels like the coolest wrestling show going, and I don't think I'd ever feel embarrassed about it like I have while watching WWE.

You're right, I'm probably overreacting.

I am quite startled by the positive reaction.
I thought the first hour was excellent then it fell off a cliff.
And I raved about every AEW show to date. This makes no difference on ne continuing watching but: - Jerichi promo was excellent - Cannot say enough good things about PP/Bucks. The left bracket is entirely teams I now don't want to have to lose. - If bad women's wrestling is happening in AEW, it is usually by gaijinns - the joshi lot are great, but I think Bea and Britt have done nothing to really demonstrate why they are in the positions they are in - Weird Best Friends segment. Slightly concerned the best thing about them as a team will end up being someone that isn't them. - Spears/Moxley was almost an absolute snore throughout. Slow paced. Boring. Felt like a 2015 Raw match. Benefit of the doubt because Spears tore the house down with Cody and Mox is Mox. - Pac said some excellent shit on commentary. But only about three lines. - Meh main event. The babyface stables outnumber the heels. And I think Page is a poor face, or seems to not have a character at all.
