AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING 2019
05/25/20
Conrad Thompson and Eric Bischoff reviewed AEW Double Or Nothing from 2019 on today’s podcast. Bischoff expected AEW to do well because of their previous show in Chicago but was amazed they sold out so quickly in Las Vegas for this show because of so many options that there are in Las Vegas every day.
He said the difference between AEW starting up compared to when TNA starting up was TNA started small and hoped they would find something to become big. AEW went all in with the idea they were big and were perceived as big because they believed in themselves. Bischoff thinks the world of Dean Malenko. Malenko, as a producer, understands the art of communicating and teaching wrestlers what needs to be done.
Bischoff said Alex Marvez did a horrible job on commentary. He liked the Cody vs Dustin Rhodes match saying he thought it had a great story, timing, and psychology, but could have done without all the blood. He thought somebody younger, fresher and more relevant than Bret Hart should have presented the AEW title to the winner because the company is promoting something new and something fresh and the Bret comes who came out doesn’t look the Bret Hart as we remember him. Bischoff felt the best match on the show was the Young Bucks vs The Lucha Brothers.
