Imagine a ppv is coming up and for once the heels messing with their opponents arent making them look weak. Imagine actually building up a feud with a face instead of just making faces geeks to feed large body builders, mma dudes or any part timer who the owners had success with over a decade ago.
If this was in WWE the faces would have gone up to the heels, fought fair, got either screwed and squashed or just outright bodied. It would have ended with the faces in tears or on their backs helpless.
Yet here we are before a ppv and since it's new you dont have the liberty of nostalgia and legacy behind the ppv name itself to sell it on. You have a company putting over a feud. You have faces wrecking heels and not putting up with shit anymore and making a difference for the fans. You have the talent people want involved in the top spots too. Even if Cody loses hes gonna be redhot and Jericho will be more over as a heel for stopping him
If he wins hes gonna be a hero and Jerichos group attacking him will be more over than ever for further feuding.
Now look at Seth Rollins in his build to beat Brock for the belt. The face and hes made a fool of every week. Hes destroyed every week. Hes so deflated and flat and lifeless by the end of the build he doesnt even have life in his promos. He loses...no one will care. But wait he wins...aaaaaand no one cared because they didn't get him over by building him up to be so weak. Plus when he wins as champ he still cheats the fans of finishes like the dq win over Bray Wyatt. The fans arent allowed to be fulfilled in how they handle their faces there.
After 20 years of wanting wwe to build feuds properly and let characters get over its good to see AEW doing a ppv build right. I'm tired of everyone on the roster bein treated like a loser till they're a heel and then cheating the fans outta just why they wanted that character in the top spot to begin with. Oh you want Ambrose? Fine. Hell be a prop to push Rollins and a germaphobe. Oh you want D.Bry as champ? Oh okay but only if we get to write him off as a crazy environmentalist loser to mock as champ and try to run heel.
AEW dynamite 3 absolutely killed it and this is the best end of show in ages. Just wanted to make this thread for the casuals who missed it to see how wrestling can be awesome again and not just because someone posted crazy flippy dudes. (PS-they had crazy flippy dudes on that night too :D )
