Cassidy is a great wrestler. Scrappy athletic underdog, that has his spots that get over with the crowd.

Please tell me you're just trolling. His shtick is what you criticize WWE for doing. He's no better than GILLberg.

With AEW you get more athletic guys doing far more crazier stuff in the ring, and you get far less scripted promos.

Having spotfests is not wrestling. Slicing your head up 75% of the time is crazy...in a bad way. (Little wonder WWE told a half brain dead garbage wrestler to frick off... while putting the world title on the other two.) AEW has 3 types of wrestlers. Trampoline lovers (fricks/most of the trios teams), Bladers, and WWE washouts. I hate to tell you but all wrestling promos are scripted. Granted NXT has a lot of fully scripted promos but the top people in WWE are given just as much of an outline as AEW's mark booker gives to his people.

Their last PPV had Danielson/Saber, Darby/Christian, and Swerve/Hangman which were all different types of matches and all great.

Just pointing out the obvious...of those 3 matches; 4 guys were WWE trained, 1 is based in Japan, and I don't even know where to put Hangnail.

I cringe when I see Paige, Edge, and even Sting go into the ring with anyone brought in by the fricks or via QT's school. At least Austin went through the PC before washing out but if they're going to do the stale "get through these guys first" shite (as they did last year with Wardlow/MJF), Adam is going to be facing that kid. One botch and he's in a wheelchair for life. I think they've protected Paige fairly well by having her wrestle other ex-PC women but they're running out of those. Tony should have his arse sued if he ever puts Sasha anywhere close to Paige in the ring (he's already proven he won't be able to resist the temptation).

Now to his credit, I think having Edge v Christian as the first program was the smart move by Tony. He just needs to make sure he doesn't book himself into a corner to where it takes forever to get to the Edge/Christian v Hardys double retirement match. That match belongs as the main event for a PPV on Toronto (hopefully that was agreed upon before he signed).
