Anyone love AEW but equally love Jim bashing it? 😂

[@theterriblechildren9018]

Haha yeah.

[@ruthweeks4796]

Cause he speaks eloquent. Jim and this other guy on KZbin don't talk down to people. I love hearing people's real thoughts

[@learning2727]

oh yes.

[@theterriblechildren9018]

I appreciate his point of view but I also like AEW. They aren't perfect but at least have some vision and direction. Sure I don't like some of there booking decisions but it's great having a new promotion.

[@theterriblechildren9018]

Actually I think the saying goes, "now they hurt each other for real and people think it's phony" which is even worse. Like people assuming that chair shots are fake etc.

[@mert.a4240]

THESE THUMBNAILS MAN JAHAHHAHAH

[@niranu78]

It's crazy how Cornette used to even remotely praise Moxley.

[@Kevin-sx5vb]

People, including me, loved the idea of AEW. But in reality, he's mostly right. It's new and it's different, but it's different in the wrong ways. The psychology is all wrong. Every match is 25 minutes. Every member of the roster is the star. And with the exception of le champion, whom they need for a little while longer to establish the legitimacy of their title, they're 50/50 booking everyone and every match is a spot fest with 200 false finishes that you can see coming from a mile away and with no real sense of drama. They should keep the talent and fire the booker. Posting the records of the competitors is a great idea, but it doesn't work without the stars actually compiling impressive win streaks. They need a ranking system, like in the old pre-NWO WCW days. That way you can watch your favorite star climb the rankings toward something and title shots aren't just granted out of nowhere. It would take the authenticity and the feeling that the title was important to the next level.

[@monsterbrandman]

Cornette really hates Kenny Omega's face 😆

[@briefcaseblues6061]

He's just salty Omega owes him 0

[@armandobrianna5]

Can't blame omega. His butt plug fell out

[@kryptonitekrunch8384]

Jim's right about the attitude era action figures. I remember the Road Dogg figure that came with a mop.

[@itsnovalouise]

Krypto Krunch man he nailed it. With that

[@DieYuppieScum91]

4:25 The best point Corny makes in this video and one of the things that stood out immediately during the match. If you're in an unsanctioned fight, you have your opponent in a vulnerable position, and you have a barbed wire bat in your hands, then why wouldn't you be swinging for the fences? Why would you take the time to gently rake the barbed wire across the guy's face?

[@PossessedPatriarch]

Deathmatches are not about speed it is about making the krowd think you are torturing other guy and put them through as much pain as possible go watch CZW or Japanese deathmatches they use a lot more brutal stuff

[@DieYuppieScum91]

@@PossessedPatriarch The torture angle makes sense if there's a long established personal grudge between the two competitors and the announcers sell it as "he's torturing him and playing with him, he could end it with a single swing." That wasn't the case here. In fact we've never been given a reason why this feud is even happening other than Mox wanted to make a statement by coming after Omega. There's no personal grudge for that to make sense from a psychology standpoint. If Mox is looking to make a name for himself, he should want to destroy Omega as convincingly as possible, which a single swing of the bat would have done. The brutality isn't the issue, the lack of psychology is. But that's pretty typical of AEW outside of Cody and Jericho.

I like hardcore matches when A. The people involved can really tell a story instead of going through a series of spots and B. It’s at the climax of a longer, well told storyline and not the very first match of a so so rivalry with limited heat and C. It can help put one or both wrestlers over. Foley vs Orton from Backlash 2004 did all of that. The people who were freaking out and calling Mox vs Omega the greatest hardcore match they had ever seen....I mean a bunch of mouse traps taped to a board? Lmao

[@thelinedrive]

It was like watching a Tom and Jerry episode.

[@AJDaniels99]

I was just going to bring up Orton and Foley and bring up the exact reasons I liked that match but you nailed it.

[@jeffbonnell1868]

You sir hit the nail on the head. Foley vs Orton was such a fantastic payoff to a long feud that worked so well. Foley vs Triple H in Hell In A Cell to me was the same. Such a great payoff and well told story in a fucking brutal match

"But they're ignoring the fact that they're having a fake fight" He DOES know what wrestling is, right?

[@JakkuHunter]

You are not supposed to be and get hit for real and bleed hard way. But you'll bleed if you're hit with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Hardcore wrestling is stupid when taken too far.

It's not fake it's scripted. Some of those pumps are very and they're supposed to make it look real. Cornet's right about most of what he saying

[@akuma4u]

Why does jim call omega "olivier"?

[@iamdb1990]

because Kenny is an actor, not a wrestler (I assume referencing Laurence Olivier)

[@akuma4u]

@@iamdb1990 yes that is correct. But when did omega say this? Would like to pull up segment or shoot where he said this

I liked the match because Kenny Omega was like the legendary hero putting all on the line against Jon Moxley the anti hero that's wants to destroy the legend of Kenny Omega.

Its a stroyline.jon moxley didnt crack him over the head with the bat and then cover him for the win cause they hate each other.he wanted to torture him,he didnt want an easy win.its only what theyve been buildin up for months now.

Lmao right...I think he’s funny but true,tell him to take a bump on glass...the live crowd liked it so he’s wrong about that

Yeah, no. I think Dean was ok with getting his ass kicked. I think he was more willing to take the bumps for Brock. I doubt Jon was talking about barbed wire and all that stuff. Probably just chairs, Kendo sticks, Jon bleeding, etc.

@Sam Hall so he wanted go take all those bumps & keep kicking out? Then lose to a wrestling move the F-5. Take the L, don't have to defend EVERYTHING Ambrose does

[@kingoutback]

Meltzer lost any credibility by saying he hated it then giving it 5 stars

[@gammondragon8080]

Wasn't it 4.5? Regardless, I think that giving the match a high rating despite it not being to his personal taste displays objectivity and journalistic integrity.

[@kingoutback]

Thomas Roberts pretty sure the entire point of the ratings is his opinion, pretty sure he’s made it clear. Back flipping like that is covering your ass from the die hard fans who lash out at any complaint over what they like.

[@mfranzusan3014]

The highlights that I saw from the match, and the amount of contact their skin made with the barbed wire, I expected them to both be bloody messes, but by the end of it, Moxley was clean. Omega didn't look bad. It boggled my mind.
