Live from a sold out MGM Grand Garden Arena, AEW's highly anticipated debut is finally here. Although the card doesn't look strong on paper, expect a very newsworthy show. The show is scheduled to go 5 and a half hours. Lots and lots of big surprises are expected to happen with several key angles and storylines being furthered on top of what'll most likely be a great show, wrestling-wise. Even if you're not blown away by the card and you're only interested in shitposting, streams will be provided at the bottom of this post so come check out the show, if you're curious. Rumors are swirling around this show and what may or may not happen. Regardless of the quality, this will go down as one of the most significant shows in Wrestling history because of what it means for the future of the industry. Whether AEW ultimately sinks or swims, only time will tell. Will the show be surprisingly good? Or will it be shit? Let's find out together!

THIS SHOW IS SO FUCKING CRINGE RIGHT NOW. NOT EVEN AN EDRONE, I WANTED AEW TO KILL WWE, BUT I CANT STOP CRIINGING AFTER THAT BATTLE ROYAL AND THE LIBRARIAN SKIT. THIS IS SO FUCKING BAD. I THINK IM JUST GOING TO STOP WATCHING WRESTLING ALL TOGETHER IF THIS IS THE BEST IT GETS.
Unironically if they make that a storyline and turn Cody into a corrupt, nepotistic Mr. McMahon figure it would all make sense.
Andrew Hughes
This is so cringe. I'm a fan of the pro wrestling and i'm cringing super hard right now. Imagine the normies curious about this and tuning in to some dude in drag using his ass as a weapon or two librarians shhhhing each other.

Joshua Cox
Even she can overpower these twink manlets.
Jaxon Baker
>charisma will only take you so far >pinfalls matter What are they conveying here?
Xavier Perry
It's literally bunch of literal who CAW tournaments. The wrestling ain't even good, it's "safe" wrestling WWE PG tier.
Adam Wright

It's the first PPV. There's bound to be some rough spots.
I bet the first WWE PPV wasn't great either.

John Allen
Did these announcers just say charisma would only get you so far, and that these guys both have great work rate?
Connor Russell
I read they actually tried to get Vikingo for the show but hes too tied to AAA at the time(hes doing their show later tonight). AAA best hold on to him. He's very talented.
Daniel Diaz
Too many scrawny manlets for me, dawg. I'll come back for Omega but this is pure cringe. Still better than WWE though so grats Cody.

Wyatt Fisher
I weigh 3 times everyone inside the ring right now
Isaiah Wood
At least they're winning the crowd over.
Christopher Jackson
If I tell them my dog accidentally bit the tv remote and ordered this do you think I will get a refund?
Daniel Carter
piss-break
Jayden Sanchez
The commentator needs to stop saying this is a precursor for what the actual PPV is going to be like and starting distancing this from the actual product. This has been the kind of shit that gets you laughed at when you try to get normies in to wrestling
Reminder every person in that arena will be tuning into Monday Night Raw in two days
Mason Russell
I do have a retarded kid, wtf do you mean by that user?
Gabriel Turner
I'm a Kip guy
Nathan Fisher
Literally 205 tier but worse
Luke Perry
Well, it's not WWE that's dead. It's American wrestling in general. This is a firm reminder that the Japanese are the only ones who should be putting on wrestling shows.
Good thing basketball is on soon. Then I can watch some REAL athletes.
Evan Ramirez
It's so cringe even the internet doesn't want to get involved.

Joseph Williams
Why do people bother with fast moving chat? Mostly just 5-6 attention whores spamming in caps.
Andrew Barnes
How do you think unknowns become known if you don't put them in front of an audience? Why are people mad that the new guys are on the preshow?
Asher Walker
>BEG US ALL TO #MAKETHESWITCH >GIVE US FUCKING THE E BUT THIS TIME WITH SMALLER GUYS AND FAGGOTS
LMAO
Mason James

Brody Cruz
>Kenny against >Kenny against >hehh.... >Kenny against Chris Jericho
Noah Evans
I was genuinely interested at the start, wanted to give it a chance.
The fact that this page fucker went over the dinosaur shows me AEW is just 205 Live but with a """major""" tv deal
Caleb Miller
KENNY AGAINST KENNY AGAINST KENNY AGAINST CHRIS JERICHO

Julian Nguyen
is that JWOW?
Noah Bennett
This, you never know, these fuckers could be the 2020s equivalent Stone Cold and Rock, people really dont like new wrestlers for some reason.
Lucas Turner
Why are wrestling promotions so out of touch? This isn't siphoning any audience from WWE let alone a casual crowd. Who told em this pre show was their best foot forward?
Aiden Jackson
what the fuck was that shit
Matthew Young
>that MILF fan in the front row with the giant gazongas
I thought they would try to be different, but they're copying WWE's camera style shot for shot. What's going on? Even the crowd lighting is like WWE's.
Nathan Jackson
>Pre-show isn't even done yet >Already 6 threads
Oliver Jones
THAT'S NOT HOW STOCK WORKS sorry for caps
Adam Perez
I swear this bitch superliked me on Tinder. Either her or a Doppleganger.
Joshua Reyes
This will be just the same indy geek shit like NXT or 99% of wrestling today for that matter just on bigger scale
wtf do borders have to do with it? It's about sunlight you fucking retard.
Matthew Myers
These promo videos are pretty much the exact same lighting setups and camera quality as the Jon Moxley one. Poor Johhny. What has he done?
Lucas Gutierrez
I paid £15 to watch this at my pals and I wish I was at home smoking weed playing Fire Pro
Jack Martin
kek, ospreay tried to get sadie blacklisted and she gets hyped for this promotion
Brandon Cook
These commentators are painfully bad
Ian Foster

Carson Howard
wtf how can they use JR's WWE theme?
Leo Wright
>>claim to not care about AEW Everyone in this thread care about AEW. We want a decent competitor so both products can be better. Get your consolewar mentality out of here and talk like adults.
This preshow has been less than 205 tier.
Landon Hughes
>Boomer soooner >doesn't give a shit about the company that pays him
fitting
Austin Kelly
JR with the biggest pop of the night
Justin Rivera
>Boomer Soomer
Holy fuck, is he retarded?
Gavin Martin
WHY DIDNT BIG TUNES BILLY GET THE TV SPOT?
Michael Cruz
>Boomer Zoomer Jim Ross
Weirdly accurate lol
Leo James
the big spenders dont give a fuck about the preshow.
Hudson Hill
Jim Ross is the Goldberg of AEW. Will he break the streak?
Yeah cause I hate people who are loyal to one company. I used to be that way when WCW/WWF war was a thing, than when WCW went under, WWF got worse. its only competition that drives Vince to bring out his creative side. And a lot of you may not see it as competition, but this is only the start.
Liam White
based matt (or nick dunno lol) with the tight slapping
Kevin Nelson
what the fuck is this cringe
Lucas Rodriguez
He'd be dishonored if he took it off, follow the lore, faggot
Logan Bell
All of these promos have been more cringy than WWE
Is this pre-show a work? Are they gonna start the actual show by saying: "Hey, ya were watching this WWE tier shit that we put togheter in the pre-show? This is all we are NOT about!"?
im not AEW fan but not wtching college football is a clear sign of not having sex, desu
Lincoln Adams
Now I know why Kenny joined AEW. He went there for the memes

Tell the cable company you sometimes use the remote as a brap plug and the gerbil in there must have hit some buttons on the remote and ordered this shit
Matthew Gomez
They hugged it out.
Thomas Turner

Is Sasha Banks watching backstage or in the crowd?
