AEW Double-or-Nothing Preview
AEW, a company that has been circling the drain for five years, has another premium live event tonight, so I'm going to spend my short time on earth dunking on a show I don't watch.
Tumblr media
When Chris Jericho was in WWE, he was a legend and the first ever Undisputed Champion, but in AEW, he's the guy who had a mediocre WrestleMania 18 main event. A title with the prestigious lineage of the For the World Championship shouldn't be defended in a triple-threat match, against a guy with a generic "The Wrestler" gimmick and Hook, who will definitely be in WWE next month. This Shibata guy probably wins because he seems like Meltzer fave and that's the only person Tony Khan books for.
Tumblr media
Ugh, Dean Ambrose has fallen so far that AEW had to make up yet another title just to give him something to do. He isn't even defending this made up belt against this guy I've never heard of! 馃ぃ馃槀馃ぃ Anyway, this Takeshita guy definitely wins because champions always lose nontitle matches to build to rematches. Obvious. 馃ケ
Tumblr media
Jeeze, will AEW please fire whoever is in their graphics department? They can't even be bothered to color in their Women's Champion! 馃ぃ馃槀馃ぃ Anyway, Toni Storm isn't getting a reaction from the crowd, and Deeb, despite being a poor worker, is a natural babyface, so Tony should switch the title here because it is time to shake things up.
Tumblr media
An absolute waste of natural superstar Roderick Strong who could be main eventing an important show like Main Event if he had stayed in WWE, yet here he is in the minor leagues babysitting a rookie who tattooed an attendance figure on his arm. I don't know, man. Will Ospreay just isn't developing as a star and really should have gone to NXT. Tony Khan probably puts the title on Ospreay here, even though he is completely not ready to be in that big of a spotlight. Expect a lot of blown spots. At least it will give AEW Botches plenty of content! 馃槀馃ぃ馃槀
Tumblr media
Why is this a premium-live event match?? These guys go out there and kill the ratings every week (according to the old guy podcast I follow), and and there is a absolutely no story. This is just a match happening to have a match with guys who get no reaction from the crowd. I know, I know, AEW is just indie wrestling workrate garbage, but a little sports entertainment wouldn't kill them. This is a good time to take a bathroom break without missing anything. Orange Cassidy probably wins, continuing Tony Khan shoving his pet projects down our throat
Tumblr media
Trios match going to be so boring fr fr 馃ケ馃ケ
Tumblr media
Another match with zero story?? Classic AEW!! 馃ぃ馃槀馃ぃ Edge is an absolute legend who wrestled The Greatest Wrestling Match of All Time with Randy Orton, but he has done nothing since going to AEW. No feuds with his best friend. No being corrupted by Malakai's influence, possibly reverting him to being the evil Master Manipulator he used to be. Zero stakes, but AEW will probably paint over all of their botches with blood. I guess Edge wins, but it's really hard to care with nothing on the line.
Tumblr media
Although I'm not watching this show, I'm still boycotting this match. The Young Bucks are the worst thing in wrestling. They can't work. They get zero reaction. And I think it's disgusting how they personally fired Cody Rhodes. Even worse, they are now featuring Jack Perry, a man who went up to famously good dude CM Punk and bullied Punk until the Bucks could personally fire him. Absolutely disgusting behavior, and their partner Kazuchika Okada is some indie loser no one has ever heard of. I feel so sorry for Daniel Bryan. He has to team with some goth kid trying to be Cora Jade and two guys who look like a diet version of The Revival. Let's just get through this mess so Bryan can get back to WWE and get his career back on track.
Tumblr media
This match.
What a mess.
Mercedes Mone is a megastar, but her handling in AEW has been so, so bad.
Like, Mone is getting boos. She is your obvious babyface because she is the bigger star, and she is getting booed. Do you know how hard it is to get fans to turn like that?? Either Willow Nightingale has done a fantastic job getting people behind her (which, lol, I can't allow that possibility to fit into my worldview) or AEW is total garbage and will be dead by August. Expect an absolute heatless mess as the crowd hijacks this. Mercedes should win and be booked to be invincible, going over all of these AEW losers, but who knows what cocaine-addled Tony Khan will actually do?
Tumblr media
How depressing is this?
Since winning the title last month, Swerve has barely been on the shows. If AEW were really behind him, he would be on practically every show, every week. He would be the focus in the opening segments. They would do countdown timers to his matches. He would be involved, even loosely, with the most important storylines like what is going on with The Elite. He would be facing adversity like having the stablemates he neglected turn on him.
But, no, I have seen none of that happen as I spend my Wednesday nights hate posting.
And, so, Swerve is defending his title against an absolutely heatless tag team wrestler, Christian Cage, who hasn't done anything of note since the TLC matches of the early 2000s. Why would anyone care? Swerve has no history with any members of Cage's Patriarchy, especially not Nick Wayne who got attacked in his own home and bloodied in his dead father's ring last year. Swerve and Cage never lost a high-profile tag team match at AEW's biggest show, which also happened to be the time Swerve turned on his friend AR Fox to side with Christian Cage which might matter if Swerve were doing a redemption arc. Just . . . I don't know. This is a perfect example of why no one in the r/AEWSucks subreddit cares about AEW.
So, there you have it, one more AEW premium live event that no one will care about or even watch. If you want to see some actually good wrestling with stories, you should check out yesterday's King and Queen of the Ring from Saudi Arabia and certainly not AEW Double or Nothing LIVE on PPV and Bleacher Report from Las Vegas, Nevada.

AEW Double Or Nothing 2024 review
Okay I've been post blocked for the rest of the night, so here are my DOU thoughts
Ospreay and Roddy killed it.
Adam Cole is back BAY BAY
MJF return thoughts
MJF 10 minutes into his comeback:
destroyed Adam Cole
buried the whole Devil storyline that's been built for months
stood up for AEW
revealed AEW tattoo
swore like 10 times
HE'S BACK BABY! No more pandering, "brochacho" insufferable babyface MJF, heel motherfucking better than you and you know it MJF is back.
You can either have Adam Cole stab the UK in the back, then have Adam Cole align with The Elite and MJF being the heart and soul of AEW or have UK vs MJF....BUT MJF DOESN'T COME ALONE! Dynasty reunion. Out comes Alexander Hammerstone, Richard Holiday, Gino Medina and Grogan. Probably never gonna happen, but you can't tell me with a straight face that MJF coming out with Dynasty doesn't entice you.
Oh, speaking of Undisputed Kingdom. Wardlow's career amounting to "meathead who won a big match one time" is pretty funny tbh
Trios match was decent, the highlight was Juice's return, now I finally have a reason to care about BCG.
Toni killed it and hopefully moves on to better things than the female Dean Malenko. But ya'll couldn't fucking bring out Britt or Jamie???
Didn't care for OC and Trent, so moving on
Expected this learning tree bullshit to continue. Bryan Keith as the newest member. Well...at least it wasn't Sammy.
I'm sorry but if you are still invested AEW after 5 years and get mad at young talent becoming subservient to Jericho you are Charlie Brown getting mad at Lucy for pulling the football. Jericho factions are a feature not a bug, it's why a lot of us checked out.
Moxley and Takeshita tore it down
Willow and Mercedes fucking ruled. Saw the outcome coming a mile away. Thought for sure Kamille or Megan Bayne would've debuted to help Mercedes.
I had problems with Mercedes presentation, but the wait was worth it
Willow and Kris feud is gonna be good tho
Swerve and Christian had a solid match. I just hope from now going forward that Tony treats Swerve better instead of letting him get beat down by the heels every fucking week
Anarchy in the Arena lived up to it's fucking name. Best part was the brawl while FInal Countdown was playing. Pure unadulterated fucking chaos and I loved every fucking minute of it! Definitely gonna be in the top 5 of best matches of 2024.
I may have problems with Tony Khan and some of his shitty booking, but boy do they deliver when it counts!
Also The Elite are over with me, there I said it. They're insufferable douchebags, but they're our insufferable douchebags
I WAS expecting Hangman to come out and turn heel, join The Elite and hang Darby to end the match. But maybe that's who let the wire down 馃
The battle is over, but the war is just beginning.
We have 3 great pillars leading AEW in the right direction....I SAID 3 PILLARS!
Darby Allin for the rest of 2024

If I had a nickle for every time a wrestler named Adam used a barbed wire crown on his opponent in AEW, I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but strange it's happened twice

The only explanation I have for this is Max went to negotiate with WWE, slept with Hunter and then wore his clothes home
