What would it take for AEW to overtake WWE? "The only example we have of the #2 becoming the #1 was WCW in 96/97, it was because they got Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Hall and Nash. They had the star power edge. For AEW to fully takeover they got to sign Roman Reigns and John Cena... and it's just not going to happen." - Dave Meltzer

Dave and Bryan had differing opinions on the Penta/Je'Von Evans match on Raw... Dave: "I see matches like that every single week. It's not even a spectacular Lucha match." Bryan: "What are you talking about? I thought this match was great." Dave: "That's cause your'e not watching everything." Bryan: "I just watched the best AEW PPV I've ever seen 24 hours ago and I still thought this was great." Dave: "This is modern wrestling. There's matches like this all the time."

Is it possible to say a match was great but you didn't like the match? "I don't have to like great matches. If I say 'oh, I didn't like this match,' I'm gonna give it 1 star when it was a great match... that's stupid. What I like and don't like... its immaterial." - Dave Meltzer

"It's June of 2026... Why did Seth Rollins beat Bron Breakker? I'm seeing the same stuff over and over again. The Bloodline has been going on longer than the nWo. This booking sucks. This booking has jumped the shark. I'm over it. I need something new here." - Bryan Alvarez

"Sometimes wrestling is silly and it f***ing sucks. But if it's silly and there's an internal logic to the silliness, well then it's great. How can you hate this? How? What's wrong with you? If you hate this, why are you watching wrestling?" - Bryan Alvarez

"They're the most profitable they've ever been but they're making unforced errors. You can see they are pressing, second guessing, making changes where they don't need changes, there's too many cooks in the kitchen... I see the signs of problems." - Dave Meltzer

"It feels like WWE is in a lull. I don't find anything on the show to be super exciting. The matches are relatively good, the booking is relatively stable, they don't do any stupid things, they're business is great... but they're missing a spark." - Dave Meltzer

"This was not a great crowd. The thing with AEW, it's like every week you just don't know. Oh they're coming off this great PPV and they're going to Philly, they're going to have this hot crowd... and it really wasn't a hot crowd tonight." - Dave Meltzer

"Joey Janela was fantastic in this match. I can't say enough for Brodie. Technically what he did, for a guy who's never been in a match, he was better than most of the guys in NXT. It seemed like two experienced people... just one was a kid!" - Dave Meltzer
