Matt D Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 We know we’re getting Forbidden Door 2 eventually. We know the video game is getting released soon enough. We didn’t know we were getting this. I like this announcement more. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Before anyone freaks out that Tony Khan is using television time improperly, All Access is something that *WBD* wanted. https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/wbd-working-with-aew-on-figuring-out-new-content-thats-not-in-a-wrestling-ring Quote Speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, WBD US Networks Group chair and chief content office Kathleen Finch talked about how scripted programming is still a focus of the company despite recent moves that would indicate otherwise. A goal is to find more programming that can hold the men viewing their networks for sports and part of that strategy is shoulder programming off those sports. Enter AEW. "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 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," she said.

For Great Justice Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Oh shit, can we get 15 minutes a week on All Access of Takeshita assimilating to life in the US and eating crazy shit? Because I’m big time game for that. Lots of possibilities with this. Give me crazy shit like a Powerhouse Hobbs / Austin Gunn buddy cop storyline. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also makes sense of WBD's Unscripted mandate. I just watched Robert Trujillo slap the fuck out of his opponent. No, he's not the bassist for Metallica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Pretty much everything was good to great. Battle royal dragged in the middle, but the finishing stretch was fantastic. Satnam continues to look like the coolest motherfucker around and showed an impressive motor getting from one side of the ring to the other to save both Lethal and Jarrett. Loving bully Saraya. I spent the last 3 days watching H2O and ICW cards and I don't think anyone hit as good a gusher as Uno did tonight. Cole's hair was majestic. Less good was the MJF-Danielson segment, this whole feud has been pretty bad....but I literally just forgot about that whole segment until now, so great show!

Infinit Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Really liked tonight's show! OC and Yuta had a really fun opener. Platinum Max dropped some bars tonight! Thought Jericho did a great job with his promo and the PEN CLICK Battle Royale was pretty good. Great to see Aussie Open back! And don't kill me but I'm a fan of Double J in AEW Mox and Uno served its purpose quite well. Uno gamely hung with Mox. Loved the hot ending to the show. Another super fun 2 hours of pro wres! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) That was a very fun episode, and I was glad to spend it with the homeys on the Discord. Evil Uno is welcome to spill his blood in the tradition of los Brazos cause it's worthy of a fellow fatboy with a mask, especially when he has such a great piledriver. You can replay Yuter vs. Orange ALL the time, EVERY time. We also need Jarrett/Sonjay/Satnam vs. Dalton/Orange/...it could be one of the Boys but I wanna say Trent? That would be dope as hell. Really you could post in anyone. Pick a Dark Order guy or one of the Boys, give them some time. Taz: "The positioning of the body" hahaha. Also he called Danhausen "Danstein", because of course he did because it's Taz. The battle royale with tag team rules was perfectly stupid but still ended up great because of dumb-ass shenanigans, Sonjay being completely insane the entire time, Satnam being an awesome giant, and Jarrett (am I saying this?!) being a great heel. There you go; my giving-up of Lent for this year. Edited February 23, 2023 by Curt McGirt 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I didn't watch the show but from reading the results - AEW needs to chill out with having people getting busted open on live TV. Yeah, Evil Uno's bladejob was great but how does it help him? He essentially jobbed out to Jon Moxley and got busted open so Moxley can look tough for his "That's Right You're Not From Texas" Death Match with Hangman Page. But Jack Perry gets busted open during his segment with Christian. I would argue to save the blood for the PPV. I mean they could always bring Nick Gage back and have him use a pizza cutter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Oh yeah! We also talked about how cool the women's division would be if Rosa wasn't stuck on commentary and Statlander wasn't out injured, and I brought out how Saraya is now Cibernetico. My non-apologies for the latter. Still, they have a super division now, except the lack of one Allie Catch... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
