Maybe harsh but that's my opinion right now. My cousin purchased the game, ive only played through remote play but honestly its boring. I have been to several aew events and have the gear to prove it, I wanted to support Aew in this but I just can't, There is nothing about this that is better than any alternatives we already have. Day 1 dlc , you cant even have a fucking ladder match with more than 2 people. All I have to say is AEW should be ashamed of themselves , though I love their TV program their game SUCKS.

Jay White is such a good talker and everyone in the group is really douchey, I love them!

Haven't watched WWE regularly for years but just started to get into the PPVs again from the Rumble this year, I try and watch Dynamite every week but that's about it.

Although I have resubbed to NJPW from Dominion, I couldn't watch new japan last year as the silent crowds were just weird but can't wait for the G1 this year!

Fuego Del Sol has wrapped up business with All Elite Wrestling.

The masked wrestler released a video thanking AEW staff and crew for his time with the promotion.

Along with the video, which you can view below, he included a caption that read, "Thank you AEW. Though this chapter is coming to a close, this is just the beginning for Fuego Del Sol."

Del Sol continued, "Now accepting bookings any and everywhere!"

IMO Feugo was getting himself over pretty well, though with Dark ending, I guess they didn't feel he had enough of a following to start using him on Rampage or ROH?

What's a good source of wrestling news that respects the readers intelligence and time?

The amount of clickbait and non news is horrific and feels like it has gotten worse recently.

A good example is the recent Punk ESPN interview. We had a bunch of stories reporting that people are unhappy about it or it was a shoot before it even came out but it was clearly all above board.

When it did come out, websites like cultaholic split it up into about 5 different stories when all you had to do was read the one interview.

Wrestling news for the most part feels like YouTube reaction videos. One piece of news that then gets spun off into 100 opinion pieces and hearsay until the original story gets lost. That's if the original piece of news was even legit because there are hardly ever any tangible sources.

Or do you not read any 'news' and just enjoy the shows? I do wonder if enjoying wrestling and reading about wrestling are two entirely different hobbies sometimes.
