So overall I had a really good time tonight..Had to leave before the Rampage taping cause I’ve been having some back issues lately and just couldn’t sit there anymore..
Takeaways from tonight:
AEW’s merch situation is not even close to being on par with WWE..For a televised show it was embarrassing that they didn’t have merch for Darby, DBry, Bucks, Omega, Joe, Sting, Jade, Brit, etc. they had 1 MJF shirt, 1 Scissor Me Daddy shirt, 1 generic AEW Dynamite shirt, and an Adam Coke shirt (?!?!)..Couple scissors foam fingers..A grayish blue AEW hoodie, some stickers, and about 10 different wrestlers’ figures for $100 each..
Show looked good from the stands..The lighting was really harsh..A lot of people were complain about having super bright lights shining in their eyes..
Tony came out before the show and gave the most coke fueled 2 minute promo where he said the same thing over and over and over..
Crowd was really popping for Mox (kinda hometown so that was to be expected), Hang ‘Em High, Scissors Boys, Dragon, Darby, Takeshta and Joe..Super surprised that Jade got the biggest pop of the night and had the most crowd support..
Crowd didn’t really care about *** Boys, Velvet, Thatcher, or Cage..Very surprised that MJF didn’t get much of a pop and not many people had his merch on..Bucks and Omega didn’t get much traction when they came up on the screens..Crowd did give a decent pop when the announced they Trios match that was gonna happen after Dynamites..
I’ll definitely give AEW another shot if they come back around..Me and the wife had a fun night out together and the for sure think we got our money’s worth..
