So, what did everyone think of Double or Nothing?

Great start to a company, last match felt a bit flat, but more than made up for it post match. 

Hope they continue to improve camera, felt it was more jumpy than wwe and missed a couple of key spots because of it.

Also this is personal thing, doubt they will do this, but please less blood, I know most fans love it, but I think it is very careless. 

1. Completely agreed. Not only was the event itself great, but I heard that it had a pretty good buyrate, http://whatculture.com/wwe/aew-double-or-nothing-34-beats-200k-buys-34, so it was financially successful as well. The main event, while it was good, definitely could have been better. I know Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega can both do much better, but yeah Dean Ambrose Jon Moxley with the surprise appearance was huge!

2) I think the camera will come with time. This is the first event they've ever run so there are going to be shaky details at some aspects, they just need to run more consistently and I think it won't be a problem for long.

3) As for the blood, I'll say that too much blood is definitely careless. If they're not careful, they run the risk of becoming a clone of ECW and we know how they ended up. Too much of it will eventually turn fans away and put all of their talent at dangerous risk for no meaningful reason. However, I do believe there is a place for blood/blading in the industry, but only when it means something and when the match, stipulation, and story call for it. When those aspects line up, blood can take a great match or a great angle and just make it 10x better. The match between Cody and Dustin meant something. Brothers facing each other, both the sons of an industry icon and legend who is no longer with us, in what was potentially the older one's' last match. And the post match angle was made all the more emotional and amazing given that it immediately followed a war that they just went through - blood being a contributor to that. Basically, there's a reason why fans love it, it's not just because "it looks cool", but because it adds to the story and makes a great match, angle, or storyline that much greater when done right. Key words being done right.
