Khan said they have sold “thousands” of tickets for their debut in Australia which is also taking place in a stadium. Asked about how fans will be able to watch, Khan was reluctant to commit to it being a pay-per-view due to the time zone difference between Brisbane and the U.S. In the same answer, he mentioned Max and how his key shows will be simulcast there, perhaps a strong hint that is how it will be made available.

I decided to tune in for the first time in a while, what has happened to Adam Cole? He looked awful before, but he looks even worse now. That awful fake tan he's sporting now doesn't help things, it makes him look like he has jaundice.

OK, it's starting to strangely distract me when I watch AEW, so I'm now curious:

Is this yellow tinge definitely fake tan or due to solariums? Initially, when it was just Cole, I just took that for granted, but now I'm seeing it on a few others. The other wrestler it's really noticeable on is Ricochet... & that, well, confuses me a little.

Could it be something else like a combination of something they rub on themselves (baby oil or whatever) & the lighting that AEW use?

Whatever it is, someone please do something about it! It does not look good at all.
 
The beauty of wrestling is that people can feel so many ways about different things going on but for me right now I find AEW as flat as it’s ever been.

With Danielson gone and a few injuries like Kenny and Copeland in particular I feel like there is a complete lack of star power right now and a complete lack of match ups or stories that feel “big”

I don’t mind this death riders angle but with Darby and OC to me it just feels a mid card maybe slighter upper card feud.

The MJF and Cole story for me is as stale as a bottle of piss. The devil storyline was underwhelming but this is even more under whelming. MJF in my opinion got very tarnished with a horrible baby face run - the guy isn’t a baby face he’s one of most natural heels you’d ever see who was up there with Roman Reigns as the top 2 heels in the entire industry at the time.

I just don’t see anything on paper at present with potential match ups that scream to me big money matches . We’ve already had Osprey and MJF in a classic which to be would be the biggest they could do with what they have.

I enjoyed the Hurt Business and was looking forward to seeing their version in AEW but man come on to have Bobby Lashley come out and squash two enhancement talent one being named Cheeseburger like WTF is that shit.

You have a former world heavyweight champion of multiple companies come in and have a match with enhancement talent sorry but that it’s complete stupidity. They could have done a squash match against so many different mid card options Sammy, Archer, Cage, Rush just off the top of my head that he could have run through in dominant fashion to show off how dangerous he is. There could have been 20 different regular AEW talent they could have chosen for that and IMO doesn’t hurt them, getting destroyed by Lashley isn’t like your being jobbed out to a nobody.

I feel like they had a lot of momentum last year and this year feels like such a step backwards. I know injuries have played a huge part in it but there has been a lot of questionable booking decisions that haven’t helped one bit at all.

Look, a lot of that is fair.

I like Death Riders, and I feel it's hopefully going to elevate some of the midcards.

There's a transition happening though, and they need a couple of the headline talents to return.

They have the tools there. So much talent they’ve got Hobbs , Garcia, Jay White, Claudio, Black , Page, Swerve and sprinkle around the vets like Lashley, Mox, Copeland, Christian…. They just have had some extremely flat booking that’s hurt.

ROH vet Cheeseburger is a great babyface job guy. Crowd were chanting for him as well. Makes Lashley look even more superhuman standing next to a 130 pound guy.

I could be wrong, but apparently it was in his hometown too?
Not sure where he’s residing, but the arena is an hour from where he was born. They’d deffs call up people in the area for squashes on AEW or ROH TV.
 
Bobby Lashley does not need enhancement talent matches. The guy is in his last couple of years wrestling.

Imagine going from Wrestlemania world champion matches to squashing jobbers on TV with 2k people in the crowd. That does zero for Lashley at all, as I said they could have picked 20 plus mid card current AEW talent that he could have done the same to.

It’s not like he’s a Miro or Keith Lee mid card signing he’s a top liner.

I'm not sure why you're finding this an issue. He needs to get in the ring and in front of the audience but there no reason to burn a matchup or job a midcarder out.

Just have him destroy an endearing loser like Cheeseburger.
 
Repeating the failed AEW vs The Elite storyline just with Moxley being in The Elite's place doesn't really scream creativity to me.

What about Orange Cassidy in the Main Event of a huge PPV?
