AEW in April 2024: The Young Bucks’ Hidden Camera Theater

[AA484]

Just be glad you don't follow kickboxing:

Glory has used Bally Sports, DAZN, YouTube, and their own website/PPV all within the last calendar year.

ONE has Amazon Prime, YouTube, and arbitrarily decided Amazon Prime PPVs

Most Japanese orgs are YouTube delayed by a week, but some are delayed longer -- if they ever appear at all.

Chinese orgs don't appear under their own YouTube sites but most of the time appear on their broadcasting channel (HunanTV), sometimes days, weeks, or even months later and never titled in a helpful manner (at least helpful when translated from Chinese to English).

I'm down for Swerve/Christian. There's built-in story from All in and with the latter's heel work, he makes a perfect first opponent for Swerve's reign.

"I have been told Chuck Taylor will never wrestle again"

You don't tell me something like that as an angle you mother fuckers.

Jericho is the worst part of the show every week. Even him trying to have a street fight with Shibata comes off super lame and tough to watch.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

the jericho stuff is brutal but the rest of the show was good. Great angle to end the show.

 

[skullman80]

Agree on the angle to close. Great stuff. Rest of the show was fine. Nothing revolutionary but entertaining. Enjoyed the setup for Swerve and Christian.

Dad Magic saying there was kids crying behind him is one of the funniest moments in wrestling history.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Ethan Page is gone. He was pretty underutilized but overall, I think he was just another victim in the numbers game.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Have to think TNA will welcome him back with open arms…and hopefully let him do that damn ‘00s TNA nostalgia one off that was canceled by the pandemic.

 

[Fall of Epic]

TNA is obvious but it honestly wouldn't shock me if he lands in NXT. He got in much better shape towards his run and supposedly HHH was interested in him before he showed up in AEW. If current day NXT can find a place for Shawn Spears, I don't see why they can't do the same for Page.

Spears was brought in to become a producer which he has already done so.

I don’t think they would do that with Page.

Page is pretty generic and overall boring so he can fill the hole left by Robert Roode in NXT.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Ethan can be a very charismatic and fun personality but he is also the type that will only go so far as he is allowed. He is not gonna try and make the most to spice up a bland storyline.


Kind of like Bobby Roode! If Bobby Roode were a massive dork.

 

[muzzington]

Fan of Page myself. Think he'd be a natural on commentary.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I think the biggest reason why Ethan Page may end up in WWE/NXT is he's a good Swiss Army knife type of performer. Works well in tags, can do comedy, do serious, commentary. He could probably be a manager if that's what they wanted out of him.

 

[Valeyard]

Ethan Page is fine but I really don't know where I want him. TNA makes the most sense but dude's just bland.

 

[909]

Page is a good talent but in any wrestling company some people have to be on top and some have to be on the bottom. Who do you knock off the top so he can succeed? To me that’s an easy answer because other than Jericho there’s literally nobody. You can’t push everyone.

 

[tekcop]

I'd even call Ethan Page really good, but there's too many wrestlers in AEW and WWE that are closer to great. It's a tough spot.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He’s a type of worker where I wouldn’t grade him an A in any attribute but he’s pretty much Bs across the board. You can’t say that about anyone except the most elite workers.

 

[909]

The reason wrestlers like him leave is because they see things like the Continental Classic and feel like they belong in them. It’s not something a booker can just put a band aid on and say they’ll fix it. You’ve gotta know that everyone who hasn’t been on a PPV since that tournament is feeling stuck and getting restless about their career. Because they should be.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Ethan Page came across to me as the definition of "a good hand" and AEW is filled with guys super talented workers. Also I don't think he ever recovered from Brandi completely burying him on the mic.

To be fair, it’s really hard to be equal to Brandi on the mic.

 

[Valeyard]

Yeah, he's just really solid. Dude honestly never recovered from not being in Danhausen vlogs
