MoS Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 Still a lot of confusion about who has covid and who doesn't. Apparently there are quite a few positive cases. Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 Darby has the best music in AEW and for all his death defying spots, is excellent at limbwork Quote

You can probably infer by who appears on the show who's affected or at least adjacent to people that were. Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 HAHAHAHAHAHHA Brandi taking out all the Dark Order jobbers by herself. She better not fucking get her win back on Anna Jay Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 That brawl was really fiery and well done though. Love the Bucks being douchey heels, but definitely not a fan of Dave Meltzer being namedropped to push an angle. "OBSERVE THIS, BROTHER" Quote
sek69 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Somewhere JJ has a tear of pride seeing Tully cheat to win. Quote

Coffey Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Today is my birthday. So I wanted to watch some pro wrestling before heading to work. So I put on AEW Dynamite. I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed the Cody stuff leading to Brodie Lee coming out & multiple pull aparts. Brandi & Anna Jay getting into it. Nyla Rose outta nowhere. That was fun. Quote

MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 AEW has dropped the ball on Miro so far Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 John Silver is the absolute greatest. Also, Miami beating up Bron and AD so far Quote

(for those who don't know he was caught using emulation to get some of his arcade records, and when they were thrown out he sued Twin Galaxies arcade over it.) Quote
sek69 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Nice (and hygenic!) touch adding the glove to the Lockjaw for Dr. Britt. Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 Dr. Baker is my role model and your role model Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 That match kicked all kinds of ass. Butcher is great and Mox is a tremendous world champ. Quote
SirEdger Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 That was a common theme tonight. Lots of midcard talents who brought it: Darby, Starks, Kassidy, Butcher. All looked great in the process. Quote

It clearly helps the shows, chances of spoilers getting out are less with so few fans, and in 2020, does anyone really care about being taped v. live? Quote

FWIW I'm of the belief wrestling is usually better taped, at least for weekly shows. There's no reason they have to run live every week (that goes for all companies) other than that's what was done when WWF and WCW had a dick waving contest in the 90s. It makes for a better show and it's financially smarter for the company. Quote
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Posted October 1, 2020 Agreed about it being a dick-waving contest.

sek69 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah the only time live vs taped made a difference was when WCW was an asshole about it on national TV. Spoilers on the internet have never made that much of a difference. Quote
rovert Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 TNA 10 years ago conducted a focus group. they watched one taped episode and one recorded live, with a Live logo in the corner of the screen and the announcers stating the show was live several times. When asked the group couldn't recall which show was which nor did the view or value the difference. Live TV Wrestling is largely vanity. The pressure can push wrestlers to better performances but a lot of AEW roster is fairly green at live TV and AEW's production isn't *that* slick to do it currently. Quote
Matt D Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Live vs taped doesn't matter in the least for an empty arena show where spoilers don't get out. I think if the spoilers do get out it changes the chemistry for at least the most vocal/social media driven audience. Whether that can't be adapted and controlled for, I have no idea. There are a lot of moving parts right now in a COVID environment. Plus, WWE at least has been terrible about surprises and twists (both in not going to that well nearly often enough and not making it worthwhile when they do). Quote
