MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share 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.

Coffey Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share 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.

(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.)

Maybe they should switch to having exclusively taped shows during the pandemic era. 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?

Expand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Agreed about it being a dick-waving contest.

Expand because the most infamous example of a taped show is Mankind winning the world title, where the ratings were very legendarily helped by giving out spoilers.

sek69 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share 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.

Matt D Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share 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).
