Honestly wrestling "fans" are their own worst enemies. They forget that wrestling tropes just didn't become a thing over the last 10-20 years. The idea of modern wrestling is ridiculous thing when you think about it and you should accept it as such....especially if you're over the age of 25. Don't make this one thing the bulk of your identity. There is more to life than just this.
It was an incredible match that's going to lead to a longer program. I'm so happy to see Copeland be so generous because, let's be real, if he was Hogan or HHH, it would have gone down differently.
Copeland winning could still lead to a longer program and they would have got a great pop and moment. Christian invokes a rematch and then the mother comes out.
@@solyhhit Christian is the bigger star in AEW. If it was WWE, yes Edge would be bigger, but Christian is gold right now in AEW. I do think HBK was the bigger star.
Christian Cage and Adam Copeland always produce gold and I hope these two have more singles matches. The finish gave Christian Cage the big win, protected Copeland because he was screwed and moved the story forwards. It also made sense because of what happened to her son yet some fans really enjoy moaning at anything and everything and that won't ever change.
People that hate AEW are never going to give it a chance. I try not to even argue with these people anymore. I love WWE, I love AEW.. I just love wrestling and am loving it all right now.
I don't hate AEW, I just don't like bad wrestling. AEW has been bad wrestling for months now. Some dude's mom comes and terribly hits someone with a belt? Tony thought this was a good idea???
You're right about that. Toxic fandom is the way of the world now, and wrestling is not immune to it. There was just never an alternative brand to make that toxicity come out. Remember when all these fans used to hate on WWE, but then religiously watch it? Now, the toxic fans sense of threat (in AEW) and have circled the wagons around their favorite TV wrestling show. It's actually fun to watch, and yet sickening at the same time.
Amen we were spoiled with WWF/WCW/ and ECW all going strong at the same time , if one show had something or someone I wasn't interested in I changed over to nitro or raw and vice versa. To think we have the internet and can choose what wrestling we do watch yet now more than ever we have pissy fans that just complain about all of it regardless of what they're offered.
Love your positive outlook! I'll never understand why fans in any sport have to hate one team in order to root for their team. I remember the Freebirds getting death threats from von Erich fans! The Freebirds made the von Erichs great! They needed each other.
It was great to see Shayna Wayne turn baby face and join the hard working underdog that had to fight for everything he’s whole career, against the spoilt company man who was handed every opportunity, even being handed a title shot after only 1 previous singles match. (Only about 50% serious comment)
Mom turning. Makes total sense. Edge tried to murder her kid. Doesn’t matter what the kid did, mom is going to protect. She isn’t joining Christian, she’s beating up the dude the hurt her son.
My problem with the angle is that she was about to get her brains scrambled by Cage who was given the chair by her son. And then when Nick was about to get hit by Edge she didnt show any effort to stop him or anything. So you cant really pull the mama bear card out afterwards 🤷🏿♂️ and ill say it again, bruh was about to let his mom get her brains scrambled by the guy she just joined up with 🤦🏿♂️😂 make it make sense 🤔🤷🏿♂️
I don’t see the issue with it. I just adds to the story. These guys known each other for decades. Did ya really think Adam was gonna go over Christian the first match?!
I have liked wrestling all my life but I like wrestling that makes sense. In that case WWE is better at booking but I do like AEW's attempt to not be as Pg but their booking and constant high spots you can see a mile away, has made me watch AEW hardly at all tbh 🤷♂️
So, I went through the comments looking for some possible insight into how the Copeland-Cage saga might play out over the next month or even longer. Most of what I saw is "I can't believe this match was on free TV." Well, for all of you, there is no such thing as free TV. You are paying for it every bit as much as if it was a PPV. A large portion of that $85-150 you pay each month goes to paying TBS, TNT, ESPN, ABC, CBS, USA and so on to allow the cable company to air their programming product. These networks do not just give it away for free, or else you wouldn't even need cable. Yes, they make a lot more money off advertising, which helps keep some of those fees down. But make no mistake ... it is NOT free TV.
Exactly 💯 It's the typical anti-AEW trolls and WWE nuthuggers who love to run online and go after ANYONE who enjoys or even defends AEW It's truly sad and pathetic
On another note, I don't want to give him a comment, but there was a recent.. personal opinion, where a certain wrestling personality shit on AEW for pushing 'some fat bearded guy' to what he very clearly believes is the death of AEW. So no, it's not just casual fans. It's also sad sacks on their podcasts, praying for 1990s era muscle beach bodybuilder types to come back, as not every second or third wrestler, but every wrestler, and saying it's guys like Joe (whos doing great work with MJF) who are killing the company.
How come you support Arsenal if you were born in Luton? I'm American, I don't understand why people opt to support another team purely because of their success when they're home town has it's own team. We don't do that in America, probably why the NFL has such a passionate following, means more to it's fans.
While I wasn't a fan of the ending, the match itself was great and I'm looking forward to the fued continuing. There's still a lot more story to tell here.
I would like to see on April Fools Day, Simon act like he's been possessed by the Dadly boys and the Dadly boys both believe they are Simon Miller in the tightest shirts ever, bald caps and Positive Pete attitudes. Wilborn can can just act bewildered.
I didn't watch Dynamite until last night, but when I heard there was a "screw job" at the end. I honestly thought Beth Phoenix came out and smashed Adam in the head and joined Christian. So I was kind of excited. I'm like, hmmm wonder where this will go. But no... This was different. So... I was disappointed. Lol
You should be talking about why everyone thinks sting is done with aew because he's only going to wrestle his last match & no others. I think he's earned the right to pick & choose what he wants to do.
I honestly don't want to see them in a crazy TLC match... Both have a history of major injuries and at this point I care much more about Adam Copeland & Jay Reso than Edge & Christian... Please please don't let them kill themselves
Someone on another channel stated that if you had Swap out the Dynamite logo for a Smackdown logo, and have the main event featuring Christian cage versus Adam Copeland in Montreal, there would have been 5000 more people in that arena (not to say what it would be in the ratings). His point was that there are a large portion of fans today that don't care as much about the actual wrestlers as much as they do the promotion. And I'm starting to believe that. When you got folks saying that Grayson Waller and Austin Theory are putting on better matches than Swerve Strickland and Jay White, you know they can't be watching for the wrestlers.
It's because of the production quality, the in ring story telling. It's the build up to the matches, the structure. WWE has so much more experience in all of those categories and they don't have an owner that is the biggest mark in wrestling and is constantly so worried about what the other company is doing, that's it's affecting there product big time. Notice though one of the names you said, Swerve Strickland. Most of the guys that do put on great matches are ex WWE guys. Why, cause they know how it's supposed to be done. Of course Adam and Christian was going to be good, they learned from the best. What I said is the reason why. The biggest mistake Tony made was buying ROH when you still trying to establish AEW. I just think since then the product has suffered majorly and Tony needs to honestly sell ROH, stop worrying about what WWE is doing, and focus on AEW. They need to stop renting these giant venues that they can't fill and do smaller venues. I mean the very best thing that could happen is if Tony hires someone that knows what they doing and just be the owner. I watch all wrestling, I'm a fan of it all. But when I see issues I'm going to point them out. AEW has been having problems. I mean come on, one of there founders left and came back to WWE in Cody. I mean think about it, things are so bad over there that CM Punk went back to WWE. So, if Punk went back to WWE and did nothing to try and stay in AEW, that should tell you something. I personally don't see AEW lasting another 4 years. This whole situation is so similar to the WCW situation it's creepy. People that weren't around back then can say you know what happened, how it all went. No you don't. You getting it second hand, you had to live it to really see the similarities. Its uncanny. Thing is WCW had been around for many years at this time. I mean almost to the T, some same things have happened and it's only a little over 4 years.
@@realKratos667 Lots to unpack there. Many truth bombs (WWE's better writers, presentation, Tony Khan needs to hire more script writers, TV producers, and showrunners, and just be the owner). Some opinion (WWE doesn't create better wrestlers. Almost all main roster stars were indie stars first. They HIRE them and teach them to work their style. If you preferred lucha, or Japanese, or British style matches, your opinion would differ.) Some fallacies (CM Punk didn't leave. He was fired for cause).
I totally disagree with you... This match ending was horrible because the focus and trigger for the result was some guy's mom. 2 amazing wrestlers in a dream match we never thought we could see was messed up, not by another important person everyone cares about that would make the story interesting, but some guy's mom. If you can think of it, well just factually like that, it's hard to NOT say this sucked. This didn't protect anyone. to make it worse, some guy's mom knocked out Adam Copeland easily ... He couldn't block it, he couldn't do anything.... Makes him look like crap. She didn't shoot him or hit him with a truck, it was a belt. Adam Copeland is now a guy that any wrestler's mom can knock out. How can anyone like that?
I was there live, they missed a great pop. But that's AEW they always, always, always... ALWAYS pull the trigger too late. Remember the Acclaimed, they were RED HOT in NY and didn't win. TK had them win 2-3 weeks later, the pop and moment wasn't as great and the perfect time to do the switch had passed.
The Last of Us (now a hit TV show) had two big characters, Joel and Ellie. The sequel features a character named Abby. And (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) Abby kills Joel. Because, to protect Ellie (something that meant forsaking a cure for a world ending virus), Joel killed a bunch of scientists, including Abby's parents. And people sent the voice actress who played Abby DEATH THREATS. For playing a character. In a video game. Shayna is Abby here. And here's the thing: I don't think that people are upset because if doesn't make sense. I genuinely think people are upset because they lack empathy. They're unable to put themselves into her shoes, so they rage against it. It's the same thing with Abby. Objectively, she's a very relatable character IF you can express and experience empathy. Personally, I like that she was clearly torn between the two of them the entire time. It wasn't just a split second decision, she was very clearly considering hitting both of them.
To each their own....but for me it was way too predictable and lact real drama. Her job of acting utterly ruined the angle and honestly ruined the story as a whole for me. So at this point cannot wait for the story to be done and these performers to move on from this garbage/waste of time.
LOL when AEW is cringe it's realllll cringe. I cannot take this story seriously whatsoever, there was already way too much humor in Christian's character and now it just fully doesn't make sense 🙄 but anything to drag out the story and be subversive and contrarian as fuck, right??
Do not think for a second any of these matches will even come close to the excitement of a Premier League game, let alone the Luton-Arsenal game! Big props to Luton for going head-to-head with Arsenal. Anyway, this is regular TK booking, but now with points. Unfortunately Jay Lethal and Mark Brisco will not score a single point.
Ah ... that depends what you like. I will watch ANY wrestling match (pro, amateur, high school) over any Premier League game because I enjoy the sport of wrestling and find soccer (football outside the US) quite boring. I've tried to watch it over and over again, gave it all the chances in the world and just have never been moved by it. No biggie. I am not excited about auto racing or equestrian show jumping either. As I said, it is all preference.
Hey current year wrestling fans , take the stick out of your asses and just enjoy the show if not change the channel until the next segment... Casual fan of aew due to the roh guys but let be real here folks , wrestling fans are the absolute worst fanbase to deal with , its either a mark , a smark or a IWC "insider" when not a single one of us knows a god damned thing outside lf watching a tv show / sporting event. Get your heads out lf your asses get over your self important opinions and either enjoy the show or find something you enjoy to watch , if you hate watch a show just to be critical youre only punihsing yourself and honestly when the wwe in 06 was the way it was i STOPPED WATCHING ENTIRELY BECAUSE IT WASNT FOR ME ANYMORE.
Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏 Couldn't agree more 💯💯💯💯 People on here just want to hate, and they expect everyone else to have the same opinions as they do What happened to just being a wrestling fan and enjoying the shows?
The people saying this sucks for AEW are forgetting that we have had this same kind of match ending for literal years with the Bloodline in WWE. When was the last time the referee did not get knocked down in a Roman Reigns match? Since before he became champion...? This is bog standard BS that the WWE has used for decades. At least AEW made it more interesting this time.
In a match that people have waited 13 years for. But of course you'll compare it to Roman 🤦🏻 it's literally all you guys have at this point. Also, I don't believe Romans mum interfered in a match of his. Stop with the excuses
@@badmanarnie2456Shut up hater I know you obviously can't stand AEW but leave the people who enjoy it and aren't miserable pr*cks such as yourself alone
Let me start by saying I have no children so my opinion may not be worth shit, but imo it really just made Shanya look really dumb. I get Edge beat the shit out of Nick but he only did that because Christians manipulated him into being a p.o.s. I get the story they’re telling but I didn’t like that spot. Don’t even think it’s too”WWE”…just plain stupid. Why even do the match in the fist place?
@@HorrorGirlNat i respect that, but when a product is clearly in the toilet, whether you're a fan or not, I watched aew for 3 years, now it's just insulting to professional wrestling that i love dearly.
I would like to point out that if WWE was to make this kind of match in current wrestling era, the wrestling fans would complain and call out WWE for their booking. Yet when AEW signs legends and give them titles, nobody is speaking about it and treating AEW like some kind of God's child... What a joke we wrestling fans have become...
I'll disagree if only because people were already pretty invested in Christian Cage's "your Dad's dead lol" character before Copeland even showed up and once he did, it was just obvious for them to immediately work with eachother.
I don't think Cage needs the TNT title to keep his "Patriarchy" gimmick alive, his mic skills are more than enough. The only time I want to see a vet Christian's age with a title is if he's elevating really young/green talent to eventually drop to them. Unless they're waiting for Jack Perry to come back & take the TNT title from Cage, there's no point in having the belt on Cage. That title is supposed to be put in bangers on free tv every week, which helps establish up & coming workers in their (near)primes.
This was a great match, I just wish it was on the PPV. My problem is they went full TNA with the ending. I respect Shayna Wayne is trying, but it's clear she has no idea what she is doing out there. It's like no one walked her through what to do ahead of time. I mean we are going to get a rematch at the PPV, which is fine in the end. I do worry they are going to try some get Beth involved with a match against Shayna Wayne, who is not a wrestler.
The one thing I disliked about the match is they are screwing up Adam's Entrance - too much smoke and he only runs to one side of the ramp - for a match of this sort of magnitude in their careers even though it was on free TV you'd think they would get the entrance a bit better
that match was great, thats fine. but if he wants to do business and make some real money and create some great story lines, do this match now is just awful booking.
Nick Wayne's mom isn't a wrestler. Why is she being booked in these segments? Her hitting Copeland with the title looked atrocious. We're not complaining about the story continuing. We're complaining because the ending was executed poorly.
There has always been booking of non wrestlers in wrestling. From family members to celebrities. This is an old tradition. Her hitting Copeland looked exactly as it should've look; Good. She went with the movement and the belt felt like it landed right in Copeland's face. This "atrocious" is nothing but an exaggeration on your part. I'm clearly failing to see the point of view of those that are upset by this. But it could be on account of the noise from the usual vitriolic hate AEW gets for whatever they did this week. So, who knows. But the match was good and the ending was executed fine. Referee gets bumped, shenanigans ensues. Feud continues.
@@SimpleSlave I am hating on it because it was incredibly stupid. I'm sorry for judging something based on how it was presented to me. But yeah "yOuR jUsT a HaTeR!!" glad adults have the mindset of 14 year old Swifties.
@@BabysitterSky The irony in your comment is delicious. 🤌 Here's the thing, kid. A fully developed and functioning adult will give you actual reasons as to why they dislike something. Maybe even give some constructive criticism on account that they are a creative and grown up individual. Which would be fair enough. In that case, you and I would just simply agree to disagree and leave it at that. But what did you do instead? Like a flying steaming pile you came in flaming hot with the "It was cRaP!!" 14 year old mental dingle berry. Talk about being a Swiftie indeed. Enjoy the concert, bud.
Could have done the same style of finish without shoehorning in Nick's Mom. Like legit people kick out of getting hit with a belt, chair, and 3x finishers but her coming out put dude down. It's just horrible story telling Simon. Criticism of the fans is right here.

Dude, someones mum interfered in a match that people have waited for 13 years to see and it being in Canada of all places, just stop with the excuses. This should have been built for a PPV but once again its rushed and done on weekly TV in a desperate bid for ratings

It was an incredible match that's going to lead to a longer program. I'm so happy to see Copeland be so generous because, let's be real, if he was Hogan or HHH, it would have gone down differently.

If you can think of it, well just factually like that, it's hard to NOT say this sucked. This didn't protect anyone. to make it worse, some guy's mom knocked out Adam Copeland easily ... He couldn't block it, he couldn't do anything.... Makes him look like crap. She didn't shoot him or hit him with a truck, it was a belt. Adam Copeland is now a guy that any wrestler's mom can knock out. How can anyone like that?
To me, it was way too predictable. I called it the night edge, hit wayne with the conchairto.
Crazy I feel like its 2004 bro lol
I was there live, they missed a great pop.
But that's AEW they always, always, always... ALWAYS pull the trigger too late.
Remember the Acclaimed, they were RED HOT in NY and didn't win. TK had them win 2-3 weeks later, the pop and moment wasn't as great and the perfect time to do the switch had passed.
Great match overall but the referee selling kind of toke me out.
The Last of Us (now a hit TV show) had two big characters, Joel and Ellie.
The sequel features a character named Abby. And (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) Abby kills Joel. Because, to protect Ellie (something that meant forsaking a cure for a world ending virus), Joel killed a bunch of scientists, including Abby's parents.
And people sent the voice actress who played Abby DEATH THREATS. For playing a character. In a video game.
Shayna is Abby here.
And here's the thing: I don't think that people are upset because if doesn't make sense.
I genuinely think people are upset because they lack empathy. They're unable to put themselves into her shoes, so they rage against it.
It's the same thing with Abby. Objectively, she's a very relatable character IF you can express and experience empathy.
Personally, I like that she was clearly torn between the two of them the entire time.
It wasn't just a split second decision, she was very clearly considering hitting both of them.
I didn't hate it because a guy who shouldn't even be on tv now has his mommy in the main event. It's because I lack empathy.
Gotcha.
lol
The end of the match was stupid
To each their own....but for me it was way too predictable and lact real drama. Her job of acting utterly ruined the angle and honestly ruined the story as a whole for me. So at this point cannot wait for the story to be done and these performers to move on from this garbage/waste of time.
back in the late 90's....when they were still vampires lol
Liked the match, but I really really disliked the ending
You can't call him Edge anymore!
😂 TOO WWE looking at ratings and the Chicago ticket sales little over 5k < over 30k in 2 days MIGHT WANT TRY THE WWE WAY.😂😂😂
i only watched sky blue
Nice video
SIMON MILLER DOO DOO ALERT!🚨
9:35 💩
AEW is WCW 2000
No it's WWE 💯
well said Simon until you started talking about being a gunners fan lol
This dude is on AEW payroll. AEW is always doing trash things and miller is always praising it or flat out lying for them
The TNT champion Now and Forever
I called this when edge conchairtoed nick Wayne. It was great
LOL when AEW is cringe it's realllll cringe. I cannot take this story seriously whatsoever, there was already way too much humor in Christian's character and now it just fully doesn't make sense 🙄 but anything to drag out the story and be subversive and contrarian as fuck, right??
🚫IWC
Do not think for a second any of these matches will even come close to the excitement of a Premier League game, let alone the Luton-Arsenal game! Big props to Luton for going head-to-head with Arsenal. Anyway, this is regular TK booking, but now with points. Unfortunately Jay Lethal and Mark Brisco will not score a single point.
Jay and Mark have to fight each other so at least one of them will get some points, if not both getting one
Ah ... that depends what you like. I will watch ANY wrestling match (pro, amateur, high school) over any Premier League game because I enjoy the sport of wrestling and find soccer (football outside the US) quite boring. I've tried to watch it over and over again, gave it all the chances in the world and just have never been moved by it. No biggie. I am not excited about auto racing or equestrian show jumping either. As I said, it is all preference.
Soccer is boring
Hey current year wrestling fans , take the stick out of your asses and just enjoy the show if not change the channel until the next segment... Casual fan of aew due to the roh guys but let be real here folks , wrestling fans are the absolute worst fanbase to deal with , its either a mark , a smark or a IWC "insider" when not a single one of us knows a god damned thing outside lf watching a tv show / sporting event.
Get your heads out lf your asses get over your self important opinions and either enjoy the show or find something you enjoy to watch , if you hate watch a show just to be critical youre only punihsing yourself and honestly when the wwe in 06 was the way it was i STOPPED WATCHING ENTIRELY BECAUSE IT WASNT FOR ME ANYMORE.
Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏
Couldn't agree more 💯💯💯💯
People on here just want to hate, and they expect everyone else to have the same opinions as they do
What happened to just being a wrestling fan and enjoying the shows?
No, no it wasn't
The people saying this sucks for AEW are forgetting that we have had this same kind of match ending for literal years with the Bloodline in WWE. When was the last time the referee did not get knocked down in a Roman Reigns match? Since before he became champion...? This is bog standard BS that the WWE has used for decades. At least AEW made it more interesting this time.
In a match that people have waited 13 years for. But of course you'll compare it to Roman 🤦🏻 it's literally all you guys have at this point. Also, I don't believe Romans mum interfered in a match of his. Stop with the excuses
Thank you
@@badmanarnie2456Shut up hater
I know you obviously can't stand AEW but leave the people who enjoy it and aren't miserable pr*cks such as yourself alone
Smh. That was trash. My god, can y'all call them out for ANYTHING?
It's a no from me bruv
This video gets an up.
anyone else think Simon's beard is getting really sexy looking on that bald beautiful face of his?
AEW is the land of bad booking now
Don't watch it then
Let me start by saying I have no children so my opinion may not be worth shit, but imo it really just made Shanya look really dumb. I get Edge beat the shit out of Nick but he only did that because Christians manipulated him into being a p.o.s. I get the story they’re telling but I didn’t like that spot. Don’t even think it’s too”WWE”…just plain stupid. Why even do the match in the fist place?
If this channel is just wrestling stuff from now on ill unsubscribe 😔
Simon come on man, how you can say it ruled, I get wanting to get hired by aew but NOTHING that company is produces is any good.
You need to get off WWE's 🥒 you riding it better than a female
Well that's your opinion like this is his opinion. Let people enjoy what they like and go and watch what you like. It's that simple.
@@HorrorGirlNat i respect that, but when a product is clearly in the toilet, whether you're a fan or not, I watched aew for 3 years, now it's just insulting to professional wrestling that i love dearly.
@@HorrorGirlNatPrecisely 💯
@@GeorgeMJohnson5Stick with the watered down WWE then if you hate AEW so much
I would like to point out that if WWE was to make this kind of match in current wrestling era, the wrestling fans would complain and call out WWE for their booking. Yet when AEW signs legends and give them titles, nobody is speaking about it and treating AEW like some kind of God's child... What a joke we wrestling fans have become...
people dont actually do that
Holy made up, strawman bullshit Batman!
I'll disagree if only because people were already pretty invested in Christian Cage's "your Dad's dead lol" character before Copeland even showed up and once he did, it was just obvious for them to immediately work with eachother.
@@gandalf_thegrey Big marks on internet do that even people like JDFromNY do that too.. Bunch of hypocrites that call out WWE for shit AEW do worse...
I don't think Cage needs the TNT title to keep his "Patriarchy" gimmick alive, his mic skills are more than enough.
The only time I want to see a vet Christian's age with a title is if he's elevating really young/green talent to eventually drop to them. Unless they're waiting for Jack Perry to come back & take the TNT title from Cage, there's no point in having the belt on Cage.
That title is supposed to be put in bangers on free tv every week, which helps establish up & coming workers in their (near)primes.

This was a great match, I just wish it was on the PPV. My problem is they went full TNA with the ending. I respect Shayna Wayne is trying, but it's clear she has no idea what she is doing out there. It's like no one walked her through what to do ahead of time. I mean we are going to get a rematch at the PPV, which is fine in the end. I do worry they are going to try some get Beth involved with a match against Shayna Wayne, who is not a wrestler.
So AEW is E and C now? Wow. So revolutionary.
The one thing I disliked about the match is they are screwing up Adam's Entrance - too much smoke and he only runs to one side of the ramp - for a match of this sort of magnitude in their careers even though it was on free TV you'd think they would get the entrance a bit better
He's only running one side as no fans are on the other side
He only runs to one side because THERES NO FANS ON THE OTHER. But oh we shouldn’t worry about attendance they said.
Loved the match but just confused why it was on free tv
All I hear in this video is “AEW please hire me.”
So it was a good match but I didn’t need to be reminded of Judy bagwell in wcw
that match was great, thats fine. but if he wants to do business and make some real money and create some great story lines, do this match now is just awful booking.
She's on there just to give Edge another mix tag match with his wife. Which btw, not many of us want. At least only a handful had to see it live.😊
Nick Wayne's mom isn't a wrestler. Why is she being booked in these segments? Her hitting Copeland with the title looked atrocious.
We're not complaining about the story continuing. We're complaining because the ending was executed poorly.
There has always been booking of non wrestlers in wrestling. From family members to celebrities. This is an old tradition. Her hitting Copeland looked exactly as it should've look; Good. She went with the movement and the belt felt like it landed right in Copeland's face. This "atrocious" is nothing but an exaggeration on your part.
I'm clearly failing to see the point of view of those that are upset by this. But it could be on account of the noise from the usual vitriolic hate AEW gets for whatever they did this week. So, who knows.
But the match was good and the ending was executed fine. Referee gets bumped, shenanigans ensues. Feud continues.
@@SimpleSlaveIt was crap and you're defending it. That's all I see.
@@BabysitterSky It was not and you're hating on it. That's all I see.
@@SimpleSlave I am hating on it because it was incredibly stupid. I'm sorry for judging something based on how it was presented to me. But yeah "yOuR jUsT a HaTeR!!" glad adults have the mindset of 14 year old Swifties.
@@BabysitterSky The irony in your comment is delicious. 🤌
Here's the thing, kid. A fully developed and functioning adult will give you actual reasons as to why they dislike something. Maybe even give some constructive criticism on account that they are a creative and grown up individual. Which would be fair enough. In that case, you and I would just simply agree to disagree and leave it at that.
But what did you do instead? Like a flying steaming pile you came in flaming hot with the "It was cRaP!!" 14 year old mental dingle berry. Talk about being a Swiftie indeed.
Enjoy the concert, bud.
That ending was WCW level awful.
You need to get off WWE's 🥒 you riding it better than a female
Could have done the same style of finish without shoehorning in Nick's Mom. Like legit people kick out of getting hit with a belt, chair, and 3x finishers but her coming out put dude down. It's just horrible story telling Simon. Criticism of the fans is right here.
Nick Wayne shouldn't even be on tv....and now his mommy is ruining the main event.
Tony Khan is amazing.
lol
This. Is why people are saying AEW sucks right now.
Naw it's WWE marks like you 💯 saying that
@@justinmichaels7856 It was dumb as hell when WWE did it with Shelton Benjamin. It was stupid as hell when WCW did it with Buff Bagwell.
But I'm just a mark. You should look at your own comments Mr Hypocrite.
@@BabysitterSky Yeah! Who does he think he is, having an opinion that doesn't align with yours?! The audacity! 🙄
@@afp445 1. Don't like your own comments. That's weird and a bit sad. 2. Never once said don't have a differing opinion. That's absolutely fine. But dude came at me so I responded. I know, crazy right??? How dare I explain myself. The very nerve!!!
@@afp445 Then I look at your comment history and I see I'm dealing with a fanboy. Of course I am.
wait wait.... tony booked EDGE vs CHRISTIAN for a DYNAMITE!?!!?!? Dude in WWE Thats most likely a wrestlemania match. Tony doesnt understand this business at ALL!!
Aew is so azz right now
That's WWE right now 💯
Don't watch then, plain and simple
Man’s clearly just looking for clicks and engagement now 😂
Yes... that is what content creators usually want.
It was a mediocre match. At least it was not a boring flip monkey match.
Simon is now officially the defender of bad wrestling angles apparently
I know right??? How DARE he enjoy something you don't! It's almost as if he has thoughts and opinions of his own, which is forbidden here in the IWC
After all, everyone MUST shit on everything AEW does if you want to consider yourself a 'true' wrestling fan, right? 🙄
Dude, someones mum interfered in a match that people have waited for 13 years to see and it being in Canada of all places, just stop with the excuses. This should have been built for a PPV but once again its rushed and done on weekly TV in a desperate bid for ratings
