Most interesting thing is that he wanted to and was able to agent a match recently. I'd be really curious to know which one. It makes sense that he would. He has experience booking and running his own indie promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt925 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 For anyone who still didn’t get tix for dynamite in Toronto, they just opened the hard cam section directly on front of the ring lower level. Dozens of the best seats in the house at face value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 In case you're wondering if Cornette is still exactly wrong about everything, I started a couple of his videos despite myself just now, and found out he hates Yuta and Garcia and thinks Cage/Wardlow sucked. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 That video is great. If Jericho gets by Dragon, he needs to call out Daniels saying he accomplished in one night what the Prophecy never could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either stuck in his gimmick of hating seemingly everything or just really out of touch. He says "No one cares about Daniel Garcia" But the whole crowd is chanting 'your a wrestler". And how could Mr. Old School Wrasslin not love Yuta as a modern take on fired up Ricky Steamboat? (Now I want a segment where Young Wheeler rips MJFs clothes off) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hypothetical question time: I was just talking in the Dynamite thread about how a couple of us have really been enjoying the women's tag matches lately, and it got me thinking: if the data shows that more viewers are retained during a multi-women match than a one on one, would it not be advantageous to simply unify the World & TBS titles and introduce women's tag titles? It would definitely solve Jade's "FTR problem" of 'how can a secondary titleholder be so dominant?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Kathleen Finch, the CCO of Warner Bros. Discovery, did an interview with the Hollywood Reporter and talked briefly about AEW. Also says they aren't out of the scripted programming business, but looking at the right places to put certain things. Which is probably just Hollywood bullshit talk, but we'll see. Give me one more season of Search Party, you dirty fucks. Quote We really play in the sports space. One of the things that we’re doing around sports is creating shoulder programming to hold onto those fans. AEW [All Elite Wrestling] pulls huge numbers, so we are working with the wrestling team to figure out what new kind of content can we build that’s not in a wrestling ring. This isn't anything new to people who listen to folks like SRS or Meltzer, but it basically confirms that new programming is on the way that's focused on outside the ring stuff. So that All Elite Women thing, probably a show focused on following the roster backstage, etc. Kind of like Rhodes to the Top, but without the singular focus on one wrestler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Why are we getting preemptively excited about a strawman to swipe at when we could be getting hyped about the obvious plans for a Sammy & Tay reality show? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched Sammy's vlog a handful of times. This sounds like a terrible idea unless we get the really good stuff like multiple wrestlers wanting to murder Sammy. Maybe it could be like Jackass.

Matt D Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 That interview sounds like good news, not necessarily for content we want to see, unless it's a Mox & Renee show, but for the partnership in general. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Craig said his vlogs indicate this will go poorly. I watched them every week and it's mostly him and Tay with a few bits from others. Was fine if you liked him but I lost interest a couple weeks before the Kingston stuff happened. Heck, I'd rather see "Rhodes to the Top" than a reality show on Sammy and Tay. And I was one of the ones that really liked them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 An Eddie at home show would be tough because they’d have to mute New Girl constantly playing on the tv in the background. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go so far as to say it introduced enough new fans to women’s wrestling that it helped lay the groundwork for the WWE/NXT revolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
