OVW referee injury
A referee went into a fucking seizure as bad as I've ever seen a person have a fucking seizure... and the fucking guys in the ring just kept having the match around him until people started realizing oh shit that guy's having a fucking seizure.
The blokes over at West Faversham better have deep pockets because if this ain't a lawsuit I've never seen one either from this kid or from his family.
AEW pay-per-view buys
It's either AEW sells a million pay-per-views a year to their audience or a million different people choose one pay-per-view. I don't know how they make the decision. And that's the one they watch, which doesn't make any sense.
It beggars belief that because even with the WWE... the WWE fans are a set number of really dedicated... but to think that AEW fans for the most part... most of the AEW fans one would think would buy all of the pay-per-views.
AEW wrestling style
AEW gives those fans the matches and that's it. I argue they don't get great matches because of the same affliction... they care more about doing their stunts and getting their cool tricks in than they do about having a quality professional believable wrestling match.
Independent wrestling safety
It's become a fantasy camp environment not only in OVW but in all of these... they all want to mimic and copy the big promotions... but in doing so they come off as ridiculous low rent copies and they still trying to do all the dangerous shit that even the professionals get hurt doing.
AEW booking
Why do they have a problem with each other? I don't know. What is the root of their problem? Why do they have this issue? They do a different match every week... they never do real angles.
I'd have Brody King beat Swerve at the pay-per-view and be next in line for MJF. Because we already have seen some of that business and it hasn't really been resolved.
AEW commentary
I think the best commentary they've had on Dynamite in a long time... with Riccoboni it was very interesting. He's not as unbearable as he is with Excalibur.
