Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report
There’s no better feeling than waking up on Wednesday morning and knowing that you have an AEW Dynamite to look forward to that night. Unfortunately, the last few weeks, we’ve been missing that feeling, with Dynamite relegated to Saturdays, lending a disjointed feel to AEW’s weekly shows. Thankfully, AEW is back in its rightful slot, […]

Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report
If you’re anything like me, you’re itching for an AEW show at this point. With no Dynamite on Wednesday this week, it feels like forever since we’ve gotten our proper AEW fix. Luckily, we get two days in a row of action, with shows Friday and Saturday (more on the preemptions in a minute). There’s […]

Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report
Right before AEW’s latest pay-per-view All Out, I wrote that it was the perfect time to start watching AEW. That, in fact, we could be witnessing the wrestling business change in front of our very eyes: AEW is hot, no two ways about it. They’ve consistently hit a million viewers on their flagship Dynamite show since mid-July, […]

Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report
This is a week that AEW has been building towards for months, as the company presents two shows that, on paper, look to be in contention for the strongest in company history, certainly in terms of in-ring matchups. Last week, I fantasy booked this week’s AEW Dynamite Grand Slam and, impressively, got nearly everything wrong. […]

Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report
Coming on the heels of All Out, an almost instantly historic show reported to have done well over 200,000 pay-per-view buys, AEW was tasked with capitalizing on that momentum with last week’s Dynamite and Rampage shows. With intrigue in the company at an all-time high, the 9/8 Dynamite was watched by over 1.3 million viewers […]

Why Now Is The Perfect Time to Start Watching AEW
Three and a half years ago, I wrote about a match that I predicted would shape the future of professional wrestling. That match took place in Tokyo, Japan, for New Japan Pro Wrestling and featured Chris Jericho against Kenny Omega. Since I wrote that, the pro wrestling world has changed more than anyone could have […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/25/20)
This week was supposed to be AEW’s version of War Games, the wonderfully titled “Blood & Guts.” Because of the coronavirus pandemic, that has understandably and unfortunately been delayed. Tony Kahn issued a statement explaining this decision: “Our goal every week with AEW Dynamite on TNT is to produce great shows for our fans, and […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/18/20)
Let’s start with the obvious: Things are massively screwed up right about now. With the Coronavirus sweeping across the globe, events the world over have been cancelled. Of course, that’s the least of our concerns, really, as people are dying and the rest of us are basically quarantined. As such, we’re left in a strange […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/4/20)
With AEW Revolution now in the rearview, I found myself very curious as to the direction AEW would go now. The matches and feuds at Revolution had been meticulously built for months. To continue them after that pay-per-view would cheapen, in some ways, what happened at Revolution. However, for many of the programs, there was […]
