I'm sure most of my posts were bashing AEW, and for that I apologize. I was angry that Jericho, Ambrose, and Neville did not return to WWE.
I'm hoping they succeed and we get great programming from WWE and AEW as a result.
lol at being angry about that. ffs.Quote:

You hit the nail on the head, I am a completely ridiculous person and I take a lot of things personally. Which I understand completely, and also the reason I'm going to be checking out AEW on TNT. Then I can still watch Jericho, Ambrose, Neville, and Goldust, just on a different platform.

Rumour has it that Vince McMahon is going to run NXT TakeOver events against AEW PPVs. Smart move in my opinion, because people are more likely going to watch a "free" NXT event over spending $50 on a PPV. But really it all boils down to who is going to have the better TV product. NXT could have Vanessa Borne vs. Dana Brooke as a main event, but if AEW has Cody vs. Dustin II more people are definitely going to spend that $50.
Let's be real here. They're going to watch both.
Yeah if you follow both products then you will buy AE and watch NXT later on the network, All this will do is down the NXT live numbers.
Yeah bcuz in this day and age fans are all about financially supporting wrestling lol
Ninjas will illegally stream AEW. Their ppv buys suck bcuz ppv is a dead medium to sell your product. Especially when the WWE Network rolled out. People were already bitching about having to pay more than $30 for AEW ppvs.
Do live numbers really matter though, if you still subscribe to the Network?Quote:

Kylie Rae returned to wrestling at the weekend, The whole thing is very odd but I hope some of the rumour and innuendo is not true.
So the story is that she "retired" due to a possible medical issue, removed herself from social media (which apparently is a big deal these days), and is now back to wrestling a month after supposedly retiring against some dude named Isaias.......What are some of the rumors and innuendo going around?Quote:

And you read it all the time "Let's remember the character not the man" Impossible when pro wrestling 101 is "blur the lines of reality"
Plus he hasn't even been training. Took a couple seminars with Lance Storm and that was it. He was so bad apparently Chris Jericho stepped in and somehow had him pull out of a booking for a small promotion because of how bad he is, like David Flair bad.
Imagine being the son of Charles Manson and you decide one day you too want to start a cult but can't figure out why people are against it lol.
he has been training with aew guys, according to him
Ah yeah I did read that he had been messing around with some dudes but who is the real question. Nyla Rose? MJF? Cody? Awesome Kong? Who has been suplexing the son of the Crippler?Quote:

Kenny's bit on BTE this week was pretty good. It was the only thing of interest to me.
Am I the only one who didn't realize Chris Benoit had a grown son?
I thought Daniel was his only kid.
Has David actually done any interviews about his father or what happened? I've literally never heard of him until right now.
Still no UK TV deal. Seeing as the PPVs have been on ITV, it is slightly concerning that the TV deal hasn't been announced yet.
I don't think there's a deal in place for Canada yet, either.
Yeah he kind of stayed out of the spotlight and then I think what really sparked people's interest was that he showed up backstage to a WWE event and took some pictures with other wrestlers. Then people were all "I didn't know he had another son!"Quote:

I'm not negative to it. Why is it dumb? IMO, AEW needs to showcase more than just the guys who were made in other promotions like WWE and New Japan.Quote:

-'Hangman' Adam Page vs. PAC
-Nyla Rose vs. Riho (WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP)
-Brandon Cutler vs. MJF
-Cody Rhodes vs. Sammy Guevara (OPENER)
Awesome! That main event is going to be nuts. I'm going to throw out my guess and say Jericho's partners are going to be Daniels and Kazarian.Quote:

Sunday mornings in the UK #PrimeTime #NoSpoilers
Khan Working on 'live solution' This will mean paying through fite or something I guess, Fuck that.
#STAYTHEFUCKOUTOFTHISTHREADLIKEYOUDOFORRAWSINCEYOU CANTSEEITLIVE
Yeah sure dickbreath, In this day and age this is a great tv deal in a great timeslot also we do get Raw live you tit.
You only wish you were close enough to these lips to smell my breath.Quote:

But this is a brand new company with what, 4 shows total? And we're in a wrestling bubble. The average fan, more than likely a WWE-only fan, that comes across this new promotion isn't going to know 90% of the people on this show. They're obviously high on this Sammy kid and what better to go "We're not just about dudes from other organizations" than having one of your top tier guys wrestling him in the opener? And this kid is GOOD. I like his work, should be awesome.Quote:

It's definitely not ideal but can work around it for now til they find a live solution. Watch enough WWE during the week anyway so I think I can avoid spoilers for a few days.
Problem will be when there's a live PPV on the Saturday.
I won't be paying for it on Fite.
Hope they can resolve this.
Also, didn't Cody confirm that the show is TV-14? Sunday morning is just shit then, really.
Cody said the other week WWEs UK tv deal sucked and AEW would blow it out the water (paraphrasing, can;t remember the exact quote) Cody I think has been lied to by someone as this deal fucking sucks.
Who these days waits 3 and a half days not going on twitter/fb generally avoiding someone spoiling it add to that the time itself, 0830 on a sunday morning ffs.
They know what they are doing 'oh but hey you can watch live for a price' :lol:
And they the cost of ppvs
Get fucked.
Yup. Unless things change, I won't be bothering at all with this. That's how bad this deal is.
I saw that quote from Cody. Looks a bit silly now.
there will be streams
Hero! used to give me shit when I'd talk about how I couldn't watch Impact because I didn't have the channel. I'm pretty sure if my boy Hero! could find a way then these whiners can as well.
The price on those ppvs really does need to come down.Quote:

That's one thing the UK does have the better deal on. Unless things change, PPVs are £14.95. Wouldn't mind paying that quarterly if the product is good.
Its probably down to ITV being useless. They got a load of boxing coverage and somehow completely messed it up so I wouldnt be surprised if they made promises to AEW that they couldnt keep.
Our channels are useless when it comes to these kind of negotiations.Quote:

Cody has the best matches. All the time. Then Shawn Spears (Tye Dillenger) bashed him over the head good and plenty and they had a match so Cody could give him what for. Which angered Darby Allen because he had just gone to the bell with Cody. He got so mad in fact he took it out on a perfectly good cracker barrel.Quote:

Kenny Omega has been having amazing matches with guys I've heard of, guys I've never heard of, broomsticks, coat racks, blow up dolls, potted plants and a stack of old vinyl bee gee albums. But he keeps losing.
Dean Ambrose got so mad at WWE he turned into a G.I. Joe action figure come to life and promptly got a staph infection. But he'll be paired up with Omega soon.
The Young Bucks are not so young but still buck everything in sight. And the Lucha Bros have zero fear but the real tag team to watch is Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. They're so dumb and silly and awesome and amazing even Jim Cornette loves them.
And the women appear to be mostly Japanese barbie dolls so far.
Oh and Cody loves Star Trek as much as his dog hates pyro.
Joey Janella did a cameo with Super Humman over the weekend where they did a double elbow drop through legos, toy cars, and VCRs on plywood. FUCK. THIS. SHIT
Santana and Ortiz are officially Jerichos mystery partners. It was revealed on they're Pre show tonight
i love how they 'explain' it. LAX are being smart and going to congratulate the new don, and they make a point to say 'thank you' toQuote:

Excited about tonight.
Improved UK deal on ITV. Available on ITV Hub from 7pm on Thursdays and airing at 11.20pm on ITV4 on Friday nights. Much better.
I will take that. :)
The Mrs is away at a conference this weekend and the loudest child is staying at his mates, I’m very much looking forward to watching this on Friday night in peace with a schnapps or two.
I can live with watching it on an 18 hour delay, for sure. Happy days.
And considering WWE is off to BTSport with it’s huge coverage of 2% Cody’s statement isn’t looking quite as daft right now.
NOW being the operative word, How ITV thought the original was good enough is beyond me :lol:Quote:

Tony Khan: "The AEW roster has much bigger stars and better wrestlers frankly than the NXT roster. The AEW shows are going to be in major arenas instead of a smaller building in front of a few hundred people. But I think it’s a good competition for us. It attracts more fans to the idea of the Wednesday night wars. I think the most compelling story in wrestling these days in many ways is AEW vs. WWE. Fans see the competition between wrestling companies, which is the one thing traditionally everyone has known is real."
This approach doesn't look good. WWE's been saying this is a good time to be a wrestling fan... AEW's approach is now perceived as we're better than WWE. :no:
yea they should say they are equals
I think it's worth having a separate thread dedicated to the weekly TV show.
First show tonight. I still think Cody/Samy as first TV match is suspect, but the hype show on TNT last night actually got me excited for it. Hope there's a big moment somewhere tonight.
obviously AEW should be talking trash to WWE. the little guy has to actively fight the big guy. but, no, right now AEW does not have the better wrestlers up and down the roster, not by a long shot. they do have probably the top two wrestlers in kenny omega and dustin rhodes, though who knows how often they'll use dustin. if they were smart, they'd use him as much as he can handle physically.
NXT has the much better woman's roster, thats for sure.
Here we go.
aew would be VERY smart to strongly encourage fans to bring signs. seeing a crowd full of signs like the attitude era would make an impression for any casual or lapsed fans tuning in.
Oh look, fat Ellsworth got his usual front row center seat for AEW too.
fun match so far, super hot crowd.
i hate spanish flys in general but that was one of the better spanish fly spots.
ended up being a very good match. good commentary, awesome crowd, cody feels like a major star. great start to the show.
I know it’s not “cool” in modern wrestling to like old, white guys anymore- but right now, Tony “Biggest Night In The History Of Our Sport” Schiavone, Jim Ross, and Excalibur might be the best announce team on TV right now.
when MJF turns on cody it's gonna be a heck of a program.
Brandon Cutler is either legit hurt or that finish just sucked.
That or they bring in the rest of MJF’s crew from MLW and make them and Cody into a badass little stable.Quote:
