It's a preshow match for free on YouTube. It will be alright.

It's on the preshow not the PPV, plus they have a huge following so it'll get eyes on the product. A guy I know, his kid that doesn't watch wrestling just asked about the Full Gear PPV because the kid is a big fan of those guys so it's doing its job.

But you can go back to your WWE and Logan Paul if you want.

I will watch for The Rizzler only. Nothing else AEW is doing has me interested at all.

Not angry. Paul is talented (surprised me how good he is and has become) but he got his fame via YouTube/Tic Tok/Twitch (or one of these types of things) and you're acting like the Costco guy is irrelevant. He used to wrestle, granted it's been a long time but he was an actual wrestler compared to Paul.

And just like Paul he has a following now because of Tic Tok or whatever so there's no reason to give AEW #@#@#@#@ when WWE has the same kind of person signed to their roster and AEW for now is doing it as a one off on a preshow.

Just seems like a double standard to me.

Do not engage...just a waste of time. People aren't allowed to have different opinions, or critique something someone else likes without "backlash"

I'm not saying he's relevant, I just don't really understand the point in bringing him in (other than that they have a large following on tiktok. He was a Wrestler, I know that. Perhaps I'm speaking out of turn, but the videos I've seen of him Wrestling and just his overall look, he appears extremely stiff and I can't imagine he's actually any good at Wrestling (he is VERY good at promoting himself/his family). Perhaps I'll be wrong! (I don't think so though)

Me and gurds have different opinions, all I said was why so angry. Am I not allowed to say that? Stop being so passive aggressive.

Logan Paul good or bad the guy is a huge media star that a lot more people know of him then the Costco Guys. For what he is Paul is truly gifted in the ring.

Bringing in the Costgo Guys is just proof why Tony is a joke as a booker and he's never going to get this company out of the gutter for ratings if he keeps doing stuff like this.

mikecala98 · 11-22-2024, 10:08 PM

There will be more social media impressions and YouTube views for The Costco Guys than anything else AEW does tomorrow. Bringing them in is probably the best thing AEW has done since Stings retirement. Just a shame that the product is garbage and none of the talent can get over and will be overshadowed tomorrow.

Was hoping Private Party would lose the title they are the most boring tag team.

no10pin · 11-23-2024, 08:22 PM

I had no problem with the Costco guys having a pre-show match, new eyeballs are always a good thing. Having to sell a spear from a kid is ridiculously stupid.

Hope QT Marshall gets a decent paycheck since he jobs every single match.

packman80 · 11-23-2024, 08:54 PM

Women's title match mostly dead crowd. Few times it came to life. Was a solid match finish sucked but do people not care about Mone and Stat that much that the crowd was flat for most of the match or does the crowd at the PPV suck this bad.

packman80 · 11-23-2024, 10:07 PM

AEW going to be pushing Fletcher to the moon with having him a pretty dominate match over Ospreay.

Gurds · 11-23-2024, 10:08 PM

Fletcher/Osprey was FANTASTIC.

So Moxley can take like 6+ orange punches a beach breaker a briefcase to the head and not be pinned but a running knee and one death rider finshes off OC.

They are making Moxley like he can take everything and never be pinned.

AEW where the best Wrestlers wrestle!

Mercedes match was amazing, reminded people who she was when she has the right opponent.

At 10.8M views, the ‘Costco Guys’ appearance this week on AEW Dynamite is now the 3rd most viewed clip on Twitter by a pro-wrestling company in 2024.

#1 Joe Hendry arrives in NXT — 18.7M
#2 The Undertaker at WrestleMania XL — 11.3M
#3 Costco Guys on AEW Dynamite — 10.8M

Solid match? Mone vs Stat was 1 of the top 5 best women's matches in AEW history. It was 1 of the top few women's matches of the year.

The crowd was dead for most of the match for a pretty simple reason. The average AEW fan does not care about women's wrestling. I've been to double digit AEW PPVs and many tv tapings. It doesn't matter the quality of the women's match. You can tell before they even lock up almost always the women's matches are going to get one of the worst crowd reactions. If that same match took place at Survivor Series next weekend the reaction would be Rock vs Hogan at WrestleMania compared to the reaction they received. At least by the end you could tell the crowd that hated Mercedes had respect for her again.

I'm pretty sure for 4 or 5 of those Orange Punches, a finishing move, Moxley didn't even go off his feet. I think 3 of them were 3 in a row. What is he now Andre the Giant or Yokozuna?!? Even they wouldn't essentially no sell a billion finishers.

Moxley is the absolute last wrestler I want to watch right now. I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it the last good match he had. Every match is the same old shi.

Im a huge Sasha Banks fan. I've been really down on Mercedes for most of her AEW run. The Stephanie Vaquer match is the only match I've ever seen Mercedes was outperformed in a big match. Baker match was bad. I thought the Shida match was even worse. I'm hoping last night was the turning point back to Mercedes being the best again. It was the best women's match of the year.

Case and point

This is why I don't bother commenting anymore...if you like something you're fan boy...if you don't like something or criticize you're a hater..

Can't have an actual discussion without taking shots
