Card has been updated.

Coming along nicely.

Kind of not sure how I feel about a ladder match for a title shot just a couple weeks after WWE is doing Money in the Bank, but I'll hear the rules out before I make a judgement.

 

[Switchblake]

Casino Ladder Match? Yeah, definitely feels like a MITB cash-in to me.

Casino Ladder Match? Yeah, definitely feels like a MITB cash-in to me.

Yeah I've read some criticism about it online that it's a blatant ripoff

 

[O-Blaze]

It wouldn't be so bad if it was any other month. but like just two weeks or so after?

 

[Chris]

Tbh I don't mind people ripping off the MITB cash in concept bc its cool af, the timing is whats off here lol do it in like December at least like TNA would with feast or fired

 

[Hoss]

I'm gonna wait until I hear the rules. If it's simply a ladder match where the winner gets a title shot at a later date, I have no issue. If it's a thing that you get to "cash in" or get the shot on demand then yeah, that's lame.

But that's so much cooler even if it's a ripoff of WWE. Idk never been a big deal for me when companies steal ideas I like lol I mean yeah itd be preferable if they came up with their own new concepts but it's whatever to me

Yeah this is how I feel, like do it at a later time in the year and it's all cool.

But if it's like EC said where it's a set date, then no harm no fpul.

Well there is still the harm of it not being as cool as a cash in

But yeah either way not a big deal for me regardless, I'm sure others will go out of their way to shit on AEW for it tho

Oh for sure some will, like no matter what you’re gonna have people wanting to shit on them. It is what it is

It's just a tad too far for me. I kinda don't want both of the leading companies using the same concepts at the same exact time. Space it out at the very least.

I am still iffy on paying a lot for this show, but it seems that AEW let a few fans into their live show yesterday, so they may have some people there for this too. Hmm.

LOL that ladder match does sound very MITBish.

Do you guys think Mox vs Brodie will have a stip? Especially considering Brodie has his Dark Order dudes lurking.

I think that’s more to do with Florida allowing it with 25% capacity. So it all depends on what happens.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Pretty good Card so far. I expect Shida to win that Four Way next Week and face Nyla Face for The Women's Title as well. MJF really needs to show me something he's been off to me since the feud with Cody. He's getting back his momentum, but the guy has to bring it in the Ring to separate himself from the pack. The Casino Ladder Match is a perfect Match to put over Darby, or even Jericho if you want have an return bout with Moxley.
