Rants

Let’s call it Guts and Blood

By Scott Keith on March 9, 2020

Because, like the booking for this show, that too is back asswards.

I'm generally an AEW cheerleader like you, but is there anything more

back asswards in wrestling than first announcing a novelty show, and

then shoe-horning in some booking to fit it? That's vintage WWE right

there. Why not just do the post-Revolution show angle first, then have

one side challenge the other to a Not War Games match?

I really hope this is just a one-off brain fart and not a sign of

things to come.

Also, why isn't Jon Moxley in the match? Is he going to be just a

mid-card World champion?


I'm guessing the feeling is that the gimmick match will draw the rating and interest, and the participants are secondary? It does seem like a pretty clear ratings ploy, and an especially strange one in that they're giving NXT weeks to prepare a counter-strike.
