The Good, The Bad & The Hungee: The AEW We Loved is Dead Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

AEW used to be a wrestling promotion for us. It's what Tony Khan himself said before the first Double or Nothing show in 2019.

“Wrestling fans have wanted — and needed — something different, authentic and better for far too long,” said Tony Khan, president and CEO of AEW in a statement last week.

“AEW is answering the call. AEW is about more than wrestling. It’s about a movement fueled by wrestling fans who have been underserved and perhaps even disappointed by what the industry has produced in recent years.”

That version of AEW is dead and this week's Dynamite is the result of just that. Join Tyler Forness on a short, but passionate episode of The Good, The Bad, and The Hungee

Please like, share, and subscribe so AEW doesn't die like other American promotions before it.

Impact is now TNA again, Ric Flair is back onscreen again, and somehow Vince McMahon is Dana White's boss. Bad decisions abound as we talk all the news and the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM including giving flowers to the NBeXT era, are they pivoting to "Laundry Wars" for Survivor Series instead of the smart story and so much more.
