Selfishly, I'm not the least bit mad that we wont see UE vs The Elite as a long term feud on TV, and I'm very interested how TK pivots as it was pretty clear the idea was to build to a big Cole + friends vs Omega + Young Bucks. I guess Hangman will become a big piece of this new puzzle?
Considering the roster they have and how they work matches, it's VERY hard for AEW to put on PPV that doesn't have at least a couple of very good-great matches. The only issue they can have is that shows can stretch for too long and most fans end up exhausted.
The main thing about All Out is how they've been promoting and selling this PPV. If somehow this does as well as last year's All Out then Adderall Man clearly knows something we don't because not having 1 single "money" program booked with anticipation for your biggest show of the year is wild as fuck.
Danielson is also someone that's very loyal to Vince. Gotta wonder if in 2 more years when his deal expires and WWE comes calling with a big part timer offer he's gonna be as receptive as if Vince would still be around.
I mean, if All Out becomes their most successful PPV to date then Adderall Man would have taught us all a lesson I guess. But if it doesn't, it's just weird fucking booking.
I get this match is gonna be crazy and it's getting like 25 minutes but man, I gotta think they are saving something for the ending? Like, I still can't believe we have no main event/world title match for the PPV yet, lol.
I guess Punk couldn't make it to All Out, was rushed by TK so he could drop the strap (so Punk gets pissed off and that's why he almost no shows last week?) and book a big match for Dynamite to pop a rating?
I mostly agree, but the crowd was really into it. As silly as it is, it's working as it's by far the biggest reaction García has gotten from the AEW fanbase. Silly shit like this can only work in wrestling, to be honest.
García having to sell all those emotions over being called a "wrestler" or a "sport entertainment" was quite something, not an easy spot to be on.
And fucking hell, that dumbass Hager better nor have concuss Dragon with that sneak attack. Both the clothesline and the slam looked fucking awful for Danielson's head.
For 60 bucks? I don't see it man. I'll love to get it for 10-20 bucks but that's it. And I'm someone who has no issue spending full price for next gen games.
How much does AEW want or need it's video game to be a commercial success?
I've seen the latest gameplay preview and while it certainly looks like a fun game (a cool 2022 version of "WWF No Mercy"), it does not look like it's worth the US$60 that they will charge for it and I have a hard time picturing a lot of people paying full price for it.
Yup. Even before this scandal, Danielson had been saying in interviews he loves Vince and that people "don't understand" what he did for him. So him not backing out of those words isn't very surprising.
