[@ihatefakefighting6698]

Fake.

[@knightshousegames]

​@@ihatefakefighting6698 You know, one thing you could do, for example, that would be more productive, is try and understand why people like wrestling, and why it being "fake" doesn't bother them. It's not a sport, it hasn't been for about a century, it's roots can be traced as far back as the turn of the 20th century in the carnivals in England, and Europes long tradition with folk wrestling, which goes back to the time of the romans, possible even further. Most of the knightly fighting manuals written during the medieval and renaissance period have a section on unarmed catch wrestling. Anyway, professional wrestling as it exists today is more like live theater, performance art built into the frame narrative of a fictional sport called "professional wrestling" with the presentation of that narrative made to resemble the presentation of other modern combat sports like MMA and Boxing. The story is just told in the ring through action. When you look at it from that perspective, it's only as fake as any other TV show or movie. The fight sequences in The Borne Movies or John Wick or any other action movie are pre-chorigraphed too. Hopefully this gives you a little bit of perspective.

[@linewalker]

Finally! Competition really helps the industry. It has really been far too long. Thanks again AEW!

[@ihatefakefighting6698]

@@knightshousegames But movies and theatre don't pretend that it's real outside of it.

[@knightshousegames]

@@ihatefakefighting6698 That is for the immersion factor. It's a collective suspension of disbelief. In a way, it makes the story more compelling, especially when executed well. It blurs the line between what we know is real and what is just part of the storyline. In a way it's what makes wrestling unique as a storytelling medium. It's like the highest level of method acting. The original "War Of The Worlds" radio drama from 1938 was presented within the frame narrative of a real news broadcast. It was so immersive that some people thought Martians were really attacking Earth. By comparison, a fake sport based on a real sport seems like a much smaller logical jump, making being immersed in it much easier, which is why people actually did think it was real for so long. These days it's more like an unspoken contract with the audience, the promotions present their product as real, and we as viewers (ideally) immerse ourselves in the presentation. That is sort of part of how you judge the "quality" of a match. One of the main factors is how "convincing" the match itself is, how believable the physicality of the match is. Some of the more physical styles in Japan are nearly impossible to distinguish from real fighting because of how physical the matches are. The other main factor is the story being told with those moves, what is called "ring psychology", the logic of the course of events taking place. An example of this would be from tonight's opener, Bryan Danielson's finishing move is a submission hold that targets the shoulder, so he spent the early parts of the match using moves that targeted Kenny Omega's arm, in the hope of wearing it down so when he could apply the move, it would be more effective. That is ring psychology, it's what drives the story along in the ring, so they can basically tell a story without words, with the commentators serving to interpret those actions and give context to them. When you understand it that way, it makes it much more interesting to watch and analyze.

Absolutely perfect timing between Kenny’s theme “Are you ready for this?” and the ring bell. Phenomenal.

This is PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING Thank u AEW

kenny omegas entrance is god tier

The crowd goes ape shit when the bell rings. Bryan: smiling. Kenny: “I don’t give a shit” lmao. Omega is soooo underrated as a heel, even the little things he does. Soooo good

[@Papimillenium2K]

Greatest show I have seen in a long time. AEW is great

What a wrestling event! Keep it coming AEW we fans appreciate it so much! Everyone go out and get a AEW merchandise ASAP

Yes!!!! Ex-wwf fan here. I lost a lot of interest in wrestling around late 1999/early 2000 when Triple H & Stephanie started hogging up the spotlight with their marriage. Glad I have something to look forward again, every Friday now. Been a professional wrestling fan since 1989 when I was 5 yrs of age.😌🙌💙

What an amazing match. The ending was great and the crowd was THUNDEROUS. From beginning to end, the atmosphere was electric! Also the fan with the EC F’N W shirt on brings back memories! Incredible! A E DUB A E DUB

Bro this lit crowd felt almost exactly as the Rock-Hogan startup in WM X8

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Nowhere near that level but damn impresive for AEW

[@RabiaaHQ]

@@2Good2BeTrue45 yes, take into account that back then, it was a Wrestlemania which means it was 4x times the capacity crowd that AEW had tonight. Nonetheless, I don’t think that crowd could ever be matched.

This opening radiated Rock vs Hogan at WM 18 energy.

[@craig581]

It was close to it. Imagine this match happening in the Sky Dome in Toronto? Would have been electric.

Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega knew this was a special treat to deliver for pro-wrestling fans who attended and watched AEW GRAND SLAM. Wonderful start to finish show.

Fake.

When was the last time you heard an entire arena pop for a lockup? Lovin the energy, I've missed this.

The energy at Arthur Ashe was insane! I've never felt a crowd like that. AEW keep up the great work.

Damn I have to watch this 3,4 or even 10 times over, just chills watching this start, biggest pop ever, Kenny Omega and Bryan amazing.

There is something about the wrestlers letting the people go crazy before they even make the first move that is great, it really boosted the atmosphere for this match 🔥🔥

Wrestling is dying overall and away from mainstream its bec people think its fake and the kind of extremely noticeable fake moves and stunts young bucks and other indies do on national TV the hope is low and it has torned the image of wrestling to audience with common sense. At least they should make it look scripted

Dynamite was fantastic from top to bottom. The crowd was loud and engaged! This felt like a ppv. Also the show was paced perfectly. Every match and segment got enough time.

Anytime I feel like AEW can never be at the level of a Wrestlemania, I turn to this moment, knowing that I was there when it happened. You set up a stadium show in Giants Stadium, the fans will sell out that stadium

[@RedShadowOfSaturn]

AEW 100% has the potential to grow, and this definitely proves it. The pathway to that growth, though, I wish I had the answer. The product is terrific, anyone who loves professional wrestling, AEW is built FOR that person. It may not bring back every lapsed fan who watched during, say, the Attitude Era/Monday Night War and stopped...we may never see pro wrestling reach that level of popularity again...but at least SOME lapsed fans could be brought back by this product if they gave it a chance, and I'd love to see more do so.

[@Dog-xj3im]

Rewind back to their RoH days. BD put on a clinic then and this match should show how much more both these amazing wrestlers have grown since then.
