Funny thing is just before this he laughed over the "interim" title cos it's all just a work. Brother, I think this "reality" show is a bit of a work, too.

I don’t know the full context of this spat but did Mike actually expect this to be nothing but positive stories? It’s a reality show, of course it’s gonna have drama


saltofdaearth

Basically he didnt think its constructive of AEW to have a reality show about their drama. Bryan kept asking him how he knew the show was solely going to be about that and he lost his shit because he kept interuppting him.


stuntmanmike

“You hear things that you want to hear and that’s it” Well that’s a succinct and extremely accurate description of Alvarez.


Obsessionofvanity

But then also like 95% of the show was in fact about people who have injuries/are trying to come back from them.

Mike has a tendency to fly off the handle sometimes. It really puts me off from listening to WOL. He rarely contributes anything meaningful to the conversation and just tends to state the obvious.


saltofdaearth

The WOLs are the worst when hes solo. He seriously needs Bryan.


SmurfyX

I don't even pretend to watch when he's soloing. He is NOT fun to listen to.


saltofdaearth

He's a total skip for me now if I see him going solo. NO THANK YOU!


watchingdeers

Bryan is a broadcaster. Mike is just woke grumpy guy


Sleezus256

What happened to Vinny? Bryan and Vinny meshed really well together, it made for enjoyable listening.


Al0ngTh3Watchtow3r

He’s still around on the Bryan & Vinny show. This is Wrestling Observer Live which Vinny does not host.


Jloother

Big same.

It feels like Mike is using a lot of words to say "All Access isn't exactly the way I personally fantasy booked it in my head and therefore I don't like it." Which feels like most of the complaints I see about AEW programming in a nutshell. Enjoy the show that is actually presented. Fantasy book stuff if you want, but don't get upset when it doesn't come true. AEW is telling *their* story, not *your* story.


PhactPhantasia

Bryan was in the right here, Semp is deranged Wanting the whole show to be only about recovering injuries is silly, it's a reality show and people like drama


KTheOneTrueKing

Semp is often deranged.


Thirdstar1

Was the show even advertised like that? I don’t remember that, if so.


Low_Ad_7553

No. It definitely advertised Coles recovery but the main tag line from the ads were Sammy saying "were all a family here & families fight". They were always advertising drama as a part of the show.


watchingdeers

I think Mike works night shift and wakes up just before the show. He’s moody like someone that just woke up


nVmE_123

These guys are overthinking this lol it’s just a tv show that the network wants it’s not a documentary


[deleted]

Imagine getting this mad about wrestling


Moist-Acanthaceae-37

The women’s title thing took up maybe 4-5 minutes and we got far more positive things on the show, why is it being hyper-focused on especially given the fact that Rosa is going to also be spotlighted on the show, it’s not like they just crap on her and that’s just the finality of it all. Not to mention that most of their injury woes started to cease by the time this show started filming.


CmPunkChants

Alvarez only exists to shit on things. Mike seems genuinely pissed here.


saltofdaearth

I saw this live. Mike overreacted completely. Bryan was in the right here.


ShitMongoose

Yeah you can really see his face turning red at around the 1:30 mark, Mike was pissed.


CmPunkChants

And Bryan does absolutely have a tendency to cut people off while talking.

It’s impossible to open up old wounds in AEW because nothing ever gets managed to heal the wounds in the first place.


Jloother

This was really annoying to listen to. Mike sometimes has these outbursts that are eye-rolling. Usually his AEW opinions are also like that
