Bryan Danielson continuing to come back way too early from injury is doing real damage to him.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Tony loves the idea of the "Continental Classic Tournament" he gets to have the G1 Climax home, but it's another stupid AEW tournament. He also gets to introduce a new Belt, while trying to merge and destroy the lineage of 2 other titles that once had meaning. This completely buries the ROH World Title, which also brings up the question of why have a Tournament for the ROH TV title? The funniest thing about this tournament is the "Everyone else is banned from ringside" Yet every person in this tournament is in a faction, that is feuding with at least one other person. The only people that should win this is Swerve of Mark Briscoe, but I have i feeling they'll put it on Danielson or one of the two Drunk Hobos in Moxley or Kingston.

[@Kingofweasles]

Sadly, AEW already buried Mark Briscoe in this shit-show to Hobo Moxley... I can see Swerve Strickland win it though.

[@QAZ-OMEN]

The problem is no most fans Don’t just want to see “great” matches with no interference they want to see great storylines that make us want to see matches it’s a whole tournament dedicated to the worst aspect of Tony’s booking- just throwing matches together he wants to see in his fantasy booking show

[@Maggot39967]

I think you are right and slightly wrong. I love a great Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart match because they can tell stories within the match. So yeah American fans mostly want story driven wrestling.

[@Jinzo9988]

This is it for me. Wrestling was never about having "5-star matches". It's a component of good wrestling, but it's never been the only component. I would argue it's not even the largest component of the bunch. What you have today is a crop of guys that came up in the business aspiring to put on 5-star matches... not to draw money and put asses in seats. There's a colossal difference between those two things. You get guys now that know how to do a 1080 double underhook corkscrew shooting star frog fisherman suplex, but can't sell or do a promo to save their fucking lives. It's like learning how to play the electric guitar, but the only thing you learn and know how to do is to shred at a 100 miles an hour and are completely unable to play the basics like chords and shit. What kind of song can you build with nothing but guitar noodling? A shit and incoherent one. You might stop me in my tracks and wow me for 5 minutes with the wizardry, but it's not going to have any sort of lasting appeal for me. If that's the only thing you can do, it's going to get old and it's going to get old very quickly. Like Komander for instance... not to pick on anybody in particular, but by the third time that I've seen the stupid tightrope spot, I'm completely fucking over it. What else do you got? Nothing? Cool... next. A tournament can work in very specific circumstances. Much like the Royal Rumble, if your intent is to get one guy over, then the event should be focusing on the one guy and their journey through the thing. Overcoming the odds, whatever. Otherwise... yeah, it's a bunch of random matches with no story or context to anything. That can be fresh once and awhile in and of itself and you do have some tools at your disposal to build things with. Like for example, you can start a storyline through a tournament... like maybe a babyface gets screwed over by a heel cheating, and these two guys that weren't beefing before are beefing now because of that match. When you're doing tournaments as frequent as Tony Khan does though, it's so old hat. There aren't many tools to play with within the toolbox of a tournament to begin with, but when you have them as often as AEW does, those tools eventually break.

[@RAD1111able]

​@@Jinzo9988That's the similar gripe I also have with WWE,albeit on a smaller scale. Every match is just suicide dive,sending a guy over a top rope,no selling, kicking out of everything,no surprises (I'm not saying that titles should be won on free TV every week,but ffs do it once in a long while).I'm glad Punk came back to Raw because it was boring.

I thought this was just another stupid tournament but apparently it's a tournament for ANOTHER title lol.... Apparently it's the continental champion but they haven't said what continent the champion is the champion of...... They can't be the champion of multiple continents because that would make it the.... Intercontinental championship!.

[@TubiTuesdays]

They're merging belts I thought you nerds wanted less belts

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Also what gives Tony the right to merge this "New Title" with a New Japan Title? We already know the ROH titles are meaningless but really? This also completely devalues what is left of the ROH World title.

[@johnjones8888]

​@@TubiTuesdays No they're adding a new belt for AEW.... You nerds need to realize that nobody cares about foreign companies and defunct companies on KZbin. You aren't merging anything that anybody pays attention to you're just adding a new belt for dynamite.

[@SonOfMuta]

​@@johnjones8888Nope. They're unifying the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship, ROH World championship, and the Continental championship into a new, solo championship

Doing the European football league style COULD be a great idea if booked correctly to create drama and suspense. I have no confidence TK has the ability to do it properly. I remember TNA did something like this around 2010/2011. The botched it immediately by having wrestlers in uneven match quantities and therefore fucking up the points system.

NXT just did it a few months ago.

Eddie Kingston is putting a belt that he was booked to win on the line in some booked matches? How ballsy... Tony Khan has become the guy who I most like watching lose just by never being able to shut the hell up and get behind the camera instead of in front of it.

[@thedemonkingdurst]

Have any of you ever seen the "Have you ever had a dreams?" kid? if so, why do I hear that every single time Tony speaks, especially at one of these scrums? it's actually quite tragic when I think about it because one is a child who's brain unfortunately flat lines while in front of a camera... the other is the "Have you ever had a dreams?" kid.

[@bjcc619]

Listening to anyone from AEW talk about AEW is insufferable. They all think they are geniuses doing inspired work while being completely unaware they are burying themselves and/or the company/wrestling business in the process.

[@sandyunderpants4376]

Now add a point system.

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

Tony Khan saying they’re going to prohibit outside interference in tournament matches is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard a wrestling promoter say. If you have the ability to prevent outside interference, why aren’t you doing that for all matches? They’re all supposed to be presented as legitimate sporting events between two or more competitors. If the promotion can actually prevent outside interference when it wants to, why would it ever be allowed?

[@patrickdoherty4527]

The whole thing about "prestige" is such nonsense. In WWE, the Raw title is brand new and it already means more than any of the titles he's talking about.

[@mformunawar]

If anybody here is watching this after Survivor series and observed how HHH answered the questions (as a booker) versus how TK answers... Its like the difference between Night and Day.

[@stingray11214]

Tony Khan makes Herb Abrams look like Vince. The man is the very definition of "Money Mark". ANd, AEW is extremely laughable.

[@Garibaldi1]

How often does a wrestling match end in a draw? Pretty much never

[@kovulion7777]

"we are completely gonna make sure there's no interference" so every championship match in the past that had interference is just free for all and no security because this tournament is much more important? It's TNA with the "REAL FIGHT NO SCRIPTS" promo they did lol

[@CallMeCrazyCallMePoor]

He avoided saying their would be a Continental belt defended throughout the year.

[@patshowiedoit5340]

Tony Khan wearing the scarf like Antonio Inoki is the most cringe shit I've ever seen. Inoki was the kind of guy that would make Tony Khan cry and fear for his life.

Tony Khan is Ben Stein on Adderall.

Tony Khan can't keep his house in order. Losing Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, Brian Pillman Jr. and now the returning CM Punk to the WWE. Also possibly losing MJF next year. Then stripping the Young Bucks from EVP titles and too many I have a big announcement bullshit. Like we don't give a fuck about big announcements. AEW's house is a big fuck up!
