Timbo Slice Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 These fuckers throwing Punk and Joe on free TV when it could be so much more, what an unforced error this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnviousStupid Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 If I were a booker, I wouldn't be putting that on free TV. But I am no more than a fan, so instead I'll appreciate the gifts thrown my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 AEW's whole thing is PPV quality matches on TV every week. It'd maybe be a bit different if they were on the monthly PPV schedule, but they aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 TV ratings are as important to AEW's business as PPV buys, if not more so. They need to feature marquee matchups on Collision to prevent it from becoming an afterthought like Rampage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Speaking of PPVs, the Wembley show already sold like 75k tickets. Awesome stuff, and it doesn't even have a single match announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuke Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 I really hope they do one of those deals where the show the full match uninterrupted by commercials. Also, from what I can tell it looks like they are showing Rampage on TV in Canada now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDuke Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Yes Saskatchewan seems a strange choice instead of Alberta and BC. When they went to Winnipeg it made sense as both Jericho and Omega was from there, but you don't usually think of Saskatchewan when you think of wrestling in Canada.

Jmare007 Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Haven't seen anything in the last 2 weeks. Have they made any effort in promoting Joe vs Punk as any sort of big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I was confused earlier. I thought this week's shows were in Saskatchewan and next were in Alberta. But they are going AB-SK this week and then SK-AB next week, doubling back, which is kinda screwy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Opening tag was hella fun. Darby and OC work great together, Keith Lee looked better than he has in a long time. Orange Cassidy is truly the ace of AEW. This stuff with MJF seems very below the world champ, but I have to say I find it a lot more entertaining and palatable than the edgelord screamy guy. I think it'd be real interesting if Cole actually turns on MJF. Jericho getting himself involved with Don Callis is yet another shameless shrewd move to soak up heat from someone else's program. I would assume this leads to Sammy being The Elite's final guy and then a 9 month Sammy/Jericho feud which sounds like death. Gotta respect how much Kenny gave Yuta, I just wish Yuta was someone else. He's just....so there. Kenny vs Takeshita is going to bang so hard. Women's division really needs Hayter back ASAP.

Kenny vs Takeshita is going to bang so hard. He's very much like The Rock or Roman Reigns in terms of giving guys way below him more than other top acts would. Admirable, but sometimes it's not necessary. And it's not even in a "Omega is gonna lose his shine" bs people were saying a while back. It's the other way around - Yuta has been heavily featured on TV and... seems to have reached a ceiling, or at least stagnated for a while.

sek69 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Yuta is fine as the Buddy Roberts of the BCC, he's there to have decent enough matches and eat the pin at the end. Kind of how Goth Buddy is for the House of Black. Speaking of Sexy Takeshita, I don't need Jericho trying to leech his heat by joining Don Callis.
