Zoo Enthusiast Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Oh yeah, MJF is an easy call. I am hoping we get to see Dustin vs MJF at some point, too. Learning tree stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 So, uh, WTF is Bix talking about here? I don't expect him to answer, based on the nature of his question, but has anyone else heard anything? Some of the fan responses are pretty dark and disturbing, but they're also likely baseless, worthless speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 To me, a lot of this Kylie Rae rumour stuff has just become about certain people signifying that they're part of the in-group of in the know gossipers. So many of these posts have a 'I know something you don't know' type of sneer to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Something is weird and "off" about the whole Kylie Rae situation IMO, but I really hope it isn't as dark as that one fan was suggesting in the Bix Twitter thread. (However, that fan listed off a bunch of unrelated, unconnected rumors and reasons, so I'm not putting much stock into any of that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 All I know is that this whole Kylie Rae deal is going to get a whole bunch of "wrestling reporters" bothering someone who's obviously going through some shit just so they can score themselves Cool Internet Points.

PeteF3 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Trying in vain to follow all these tap-dance-filled conversations has me on the verge of dying of an overdose of euphemisms. Someone let me know if some actual fucking facts come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I think MJF will be a star but I also think Luchasaurus could be a big deal. Every time I have seen him so far, he's been impressive & gotten the crowd around him. I don't know how far the tag team thing will carry him but he seems to feel like a big deal by himself so far.

SirEdger Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I think they're gonna keep him with Jungle Boy until AEW can find a few big men that Luchasaurus could work with in a singles program. But in the meantime, I expect the Jurassic Express to hold the AEW tag titles within the next year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Well, no wonder. Luchasaurus is a big damn dude with insane agility and smooth strikes. Plus his gimmick is awesome. Very easy to like, right? Plus he seems to be a very polite, well-spoken dude. Jungle Boy could be a big deal too. Great look, agility, can have some of mainstream exposure due to his late father and his (small) role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Those two are my AEW favorites and I cannot wish enough good things to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 So when I check my bank account, it will sometimes mark stuff like "this is a purchase you haven't made before" in case it is some kind of fraud deal. It flagged my purchase of AEW tickets, which made me realize it showed up on my account as "TM- BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Sold Out: Washington Oct.. 2 Boston Oct. 9 Philly Oct. 16 Not Sold Out: PIttsburgh Oct. 23 Charleston Oct. 30 Charlotte Nov. 6 Baltimore Nov. 9 (Full Gear) Nashville Nov. 13 Chicago Nov. 27 I don't expect AEW to sell out every show but do we have any idea on if any of these shows that have tickets remaining are near sell outs or are half full? It seems like they were on a roll and momentum just stalled immediately. I was really surprised that Full Gear didn't sell out with the 2 best possible main events they could give fans at this point.

Ricky Jackson Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think right now it's a waiting game until the TV show starts to build up more interest and stimulate ticket sales. It's all well in good when they run a few major shows in a year, which makes each one must see. Once it becomes a weekly thing it's no longer an event and even the hardest of the hardcore won't keep coming out, or at least enough for constant sellouts, without something new to capture the publics attention. Still, I expect those shows to eventually sell out unless the TV completely fails to attract interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Blame the Libarians. Yeah, what Ricky said. All Out has less buys than All In. Still way impressive overall for a product with no TV in an era where pro-wrestling is cold. But you can't sustain the hype forever, at some point, reality kicks in. People are waiting for the TV now. And really, they don't need to sell out every show to do good. The insane results they got with the first few shows had to end at some point.

goodhelmet Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 With the TV, I agree with both of you. With Full Gear, I expected a sellout on par with the other PPVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the holiday weekend travel aspect may have been underrated in the first three sellouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Do we have the numbers for those current ticket sales at the moment? I mean, no, they're not sellouts but they still can be relatively good, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeg Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I checked Baltimore on Wednesday, its not even close to sold out. I'd chalk that up in part to running Baltimore a month after selling out 15,000 seats in DC and two weeks after selling out 10,000 seats in Philly. It would be tough to then sell out 14,000 seats in a market 45 minutes away from one city and and an hour 15 from the other. I also think the bloom is off the rose a little bit. If we are being honest, through four shows AEW has put out just as much unwatchable nonsense as they have great wrestling. So it wouldn't surprise me if some people are hesitant to buy tickets without full cards announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 How cool is that that they let Riho cut her promo in Japanese with subtitles instead of having her use broken English ? That's what I want to see, just like LU had promos in Spanish. MJF on TV is gonna become a big star in no time. The guy in red whom he spit at is Garrett Sakahara, a guy from the DDPY Center, that was pretty cool to see him pop up here. Hey ! Brackets for a tag team tournament ! That's very un-WCW.

C.S. Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 So, is AEW on TNT the official name of the show? If not, it seems absurd not to have a name locked down two weeks before showtime. 3 hours ago, El-P said: How cool is that that they let Riho cut her promo in Japanese with subtitles instead of having her use broken English ?

El-P Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hasn't there been subtitles promos already on AEW stuff ? I mean, Lucha Brothers used to cut subtitles promos on IMPACT the whole time they were there, so it's not exactly new either way. So no, WWE did not beat anyone to the punch anyway about that deal.
