Slasher Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 AEW getting another show is a great idea IMO. Maybe this means they can actually feature everyone they want each week, whether its on Dynamite or the other show. This is what they need for the workers. They can't keep momentum the way things are now.
Badlittlekitten Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 Hikara Shida is utterly wasted in this company. Brandi and the women’s stuff kills the show dead every week.

Those, some studio-style promos and two lower midcard matches would be the perfect format. From what I have heard, that seems to be the plan. Basically, migrating Dark onto the network, focussing more on up and coming wrestlers, and airing more vignettes and such. That sounds good to me. I was a bit worried they were going to add another hour or two of matches every week. With Dynamite and Dark and BTE and WotRGRS already on my viewing list, adding another AEW wrestling show would be edging into WWE-esque "it's getting to be a chore to keep up with everything" territory.
JRH Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 I wonder what time slot it'll be getting. Even though weekend tv is a ratings black hole, a Saturday show would still work, and might even draw in younger viewers and casuals channel surfing.
C.S. Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 In case any of you are in this unfortunate situation, help IS available!
Log Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 I know that won't be everyone's cup o' tea, but I really like that.
sek69 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 AEW has sold 10,000 tickets for the 3/25 Dynamite show in Newark, which is probably the biggest arena they are going to run in for TV depending on how they stage the show in Atlanta next month.
Johnny Sorrow Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 4 hours ago, sek69 said: AEW has sold 10,000 tickets for the 3/25 Dynamite show in Newark First of all, the fact that anyone voluntarily goes to Newark still blows my mind. But that place is the new Meadowlands so things have changed. Also, that's drawing the New York/ New Jersey/ Philly fanbase who of course are gonna turn out. Meanwhile, in Colorado....Dynamite is coming here to Broomfield at the First Bank Center, a place I've seen concerts and WWE House Shows that holds 6,500. And there are still lots of tickets available. I got my ticket the day they went on sale, because here in Denver and the surrounding area, RAW and Smackdown at the Pepsi Center sell out because it's TV , but house shows at The FBC and The Budweiser Center in Loveland never sell out. AEW got a lot of local media coverage the day they announced here, but there's been no local presence as far as ads on TV, but they might have radio spots, though. I haven't seen a billboard in Denver, which surprises me. It's all part of finding an audience out here in the West and I love it, but I really thought the place would have sold out by now. Walk up won't be a thing really, since The FBC isn't in a city or town. It's an exit on US- 36.
gordi Posted January 26, 2020 Report Posted January 26, 2020 What's the origin of the name 'Kotaro Cutter'? I mean, which Kotaro is it named after?

NintendoLogic Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 Worthy of the honor without a doubt.
C.S. Posted January 30, 2020 Report Posted January 30, 2020 No show thread this week? I didn't even have any desire to tune in. Is the bloom finally off the rose? Cody vs. Dustin deserved that MOTY though, and man, what a swank plaque.

Personally I thought it was a decent little show, I liked The Hybrid 2 with their tribute skeleton gear and Jack Evans doing the La Parka dance down the ramp in tribute.

I am really enjoying following it week to week. I think they will become more must-see as we get closer to their PPV. Next week MJF will lash Cody, and he will be in Alabama, so there's probably an over/under on whether he makes an incest joke.
SirEdger Posted January 30, 2020 Report Posted January 30, 2020 And that incest joke will probably be at the expense of Conrad Thompson. I mean...the show will be in Huntsville, AL after all.
MoS Posted February 2, 2020 Report Posted February 2, 2020 Can somebody help me with the last part of her tweet? I think it's cool AEW are honouring Missy.

NintendoLogic Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 In case you were wondering whether Val Venis has terrible opinions on Nyla Rose and the transgender community in general, you can rest assured that he does. http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2020/02/16/ex-pro-wrestler-val-venis-loses-it-on-twitter-after-trans-wrestler-nyla-rose-is-crowned-womens-champion/

I eventually had to unfriend him.
sek69 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Posted February 19, 2020 Cody's so good he can get people jobs in other companies now. He mentioned in a media call yesterday he was looking at Chris Bey when asked about AEW signing more wrestlers of color, and later in the day Impact announced they signed him.

Stiva Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Lance Archer has officially signed. More big boys!
SirEdger Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 And all of a sudden, one can wonder if Archer might not have an impact on the finish of Jericho vs Moxley on Saturday night....
gordi Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 The best match I saw live last year was the New Japan Cup match between Archer and Ospreay. Archer was great, beating the hell out of the much smaller Ospreay and tossing him around in genuinely dangerous-looking ways and then believably bumping and selling when it was time for the little guy to make his comeback. Do you think a guy like that might be a good fit in AEW? I think so.
