To everyone complaining about not seeing The Devil at #AEWFullGear, he was in front of your eyes the entire night. "The greatest trick The Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist." Let it play out, #BayBay
@JDfromNY206@TonyKhan And before you jump into a tirade about an AEW/Superbowl comparison, it's the equivalent of any broadcaster bragging about having a bigger audience than who attended a sporting event. Just silliness
@JDfromNY206@TonyKhan Just to put this in context. This isn't the flex you think it is. It's the equivalent of a TV station saying, well, we had more people watching the Superbowl than who attended.
@ToneWWE@UWFChrisSpade@JDfromNY206 Exactly, after 1.5 years of it being skippable and fans ranting for it to improve, these same people then rant when something of note is on the show. It's all about the follow up, if there's nothing special this week, then it was pointless. Perhaps wait and see before whining
@JDfromNY206 So do you want them to start making it better, or not? You can't rant it's bad and should get better, then rant when they attempt to improve the product
Wait, so one of the best acts AEW ever created, The Acclaimed, split up on THE B SHOW?! Where was the follow up on Dynamite? Legitimately sad that they finally come to Aus and we don't get that entrance from @PlatinumMax & @Bowens_Official 😭
AEW Dynamite this week had a lot to enjoy. The opener was as 2019 as they've felt in forever, and that's from both an energy and production aspect #missedspotswithnoreplays
@SkytelWrestling@DiMauro_fit Let's be honest, that was a month's worth of storytelling blown in an opening segment. Build to Kenny finally helping Ospreay. The pop would've been huge.
@HeyHeyItsConrad I feel it's ok to criticise when it comes with the right intensions. I love AEW and have supported them financially (every PPV) and vocally since inception. However the current state of storytelling/booking is not what was pitched or delivered 5 years ago. Change is needed 🙏
@slick2099 Disagree. If all stories were built week-to-week, had a payoff AND a follow-up, fans would have a reason to invest. They rarely do. Dirtsheet rumours only impact your business if you build a brand that targets the IWC, sorry, the "sickos".
@QTMarshall Question should be: can you please book @DeonnaPurrazzo in a story that builds to a title match? These multi-women matches or battle royales to earn title shots leave fans less invested in the characters, titles and overall product. Do better.
@HeyHeyItsConrad@jbarnacles I honestly had no idea there was a "spoiler". As a fan, I just see the result as a foregone conclusion and harder to invest in
@punky287@HeyHeyItsConrad Wait, where did I complain about a spoiler? My argument was that as a viewer I have zero belief that Jarrett, at this point in his career, will actually win the title, so why bother? Much prefer a younger, established star getting the TV time. Easier to invest in a potential win
@HeyHeyItsConrad@jbarnacles It's also a case of Jeff being a victim of circumstance. This story in 2019 probably wouldn't stand out so much. In 2025, I've been burned by AEW's storytelling to the point where it no longer feels like a legitimate alternative
@HeyHeyItsConrad@punky287 I agree and disagree. MJF is a former world champ. The fact that he requires any more "build" says a lot about the state of AEW storytelling. I hear what you're saying though. I'm just a fan, so at the end of the day, I'll never truly understand the psychology
@HeyHeyItsConrad@jbarnacles Couldn't Jeff agree more. The downfall of AEW storytelling is the follow up. If Jeff must get that final title shot, then winning a BR, having a shot and moving on is definitely the way. Personally I just wish rising stars earned title shots through builds and not battle royales
