Lee is great and should be on tv more. Hell he should have the spot Yuta has. Keith Lee is great. I’d be okay with him as Pure Champion. Yuta’s spot? The guy got demoted to ROH.

AEW’s Women’s division would’ve shined during the mid-late 2000’s.

Edge working the AEW Dark talent isn’t going to get anyone over. I disagree. He's working with up and comers. Yes, they're going to lose but they get a vingnette, more TV time than normal, a chance to work with a legend, and a chance to show their worth in a prime time slot. It's cool of Copeland and TK to do this for the kids.

I think I found my issue with AEW matches on weekly TV. 99% of them are some nobody jobber in a competitive match against their “stars”. Dynamite, Rampage, Collision… all of them. Very 80’s-early 90’s wrestling booking. Yep, you nailed it. AEW is very much like 80s-90s JCP/NWA. That's what they're trying to be. It won't pop huge ratings but it'll deliver solid wrestling. Their wheelhouse.

It's cool of Copeland and TK to do this for the kids. But nobody cares. Nobody is going to be talking about Lee vs. Edge tomorrow, next week. It’s going to make even less sense when he beats a handful of nobodies for weeks and then beats Christian for the TNT Championship. There’s plenty of talent (too much) in AEW for Edge to be facing. Not the ROH mainstays that’ll be right back to ROH again after this week.

This Edge run has fallen off quick. Having a guy who’s in most likely the last year of his career facing dorks is such a misstep

Every wrestling promotion has midcarders, jobbers, journeymen, etc. It's what happens. Otherwise promotions' rosters would be 10 superstars only.

Collision has gone downhill since Punk exited.
Also, Adam Page throws horrible forearms. He hit Trevor Murdoch Jr in the shoulder every time and it looked like sht.

Collision has gone downhill since Punk exited. HOB and FTR are carrying the show now. I think Collision has been better than Dynamite though. At least the past 2 weeks.

It's cool of Copeland and TK to do this for the kids. Totally agree. He hand-picked Griff and name dropped him weeks prior to this. Open challenges are how we ended up with both Ricky Starks and Eddie Kingston. Yeah you're gonna have a couple warhorse flops lol, but you can also hit the jackpot and give some young talent a chance to shine while simultaneously letting Adam figure out who he really is in the ring not having to work WWE style. I haven't watched last night yet but I thought Griff came out great from the first one.

I agree on Collision still being better. It was my favorite wrestling TV show in years for about 2 months. I've been going back and watching some of the episodes I missed and while it's still a decent show, it's not what it used to be. Which is weird to say seeing as it's 6 months old but ya know To what you mentioned earlier, I'm not big on stars having competitive matches with enhancement level talent. It works in instances where Copeland - Moriarty makes sense but then Page is out there going 10 minutes with a shorter, fatter Trevor Murdock Jr. Moriarty can be something. Ain't nobody interested in anything Page's opponent is doing. I didn't like it when it took Cody 20 minutes to beat someone like Sonny Kiss or Joey Janela. I got no issue with lesser names getting shine but when it takes everybody 20 minutes to beat anybody it just waters the whole thing down. IMO

Wait. So that Continental Crown Championship is literally just another title? There's just too many championships in AEW/ROH right now AEW World Championship- Samoa Joe AEW TNT Championship- Christian Cage AEW International Championship- Orange Cassidy AEW FTW Championship- Hook AEW Continental Championship- Eddie Kingston AEW World Tag Team Championship- Ricky Starks & Big Bill AEW World Trios Championship- Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed ROH Championship- Eddie Kingston ROH TV Championship- Kyle Fletcher ROH Pure Championship- Wheeler Yuta ROH Tag Team Championship- Undisputed Kingdom ROH Trios Championship- Mogul Embassy That's 17 guys who are holding a belt of some sort and you can have a 16-man tournament where everybody in it is a champion.
