Just Adam Bay Bay Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 So out of curiosity why is everyone assuming the women are getting Blood and Guts this year? Look at the name of the match, and try explaining how or why TBS would risk alienating sponsors by having that on TV. If they do it with the women it’s going to have to be at Double or Nothing. Sponsors aren’t going to be like yeah we want to sponsor a show where they’re bragging that women are going to bleed buckets. It’s one thing in UFC where it’s a legit sport, and the women bleed, but in wrestling no way in hell does that fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I don't know, they've had some pretty bloody women's matches on TV already. Did they get pushback from that? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one thing in UFC where it’s a legit sport, and the women bleed, but in wrestling no way in hell does that fly. I’m not much of a prude, but I was mostly turned off by that women’s tag team match where everyone bled buckets. I’ve never been.a deathmatch fan, but I watched a lot of CZW back in the 00’s when Mike Burns was booking mainstream indie guys like Super Dragon and Kevin Steen. I found a reason to make it through.a year of BJW back then too, but it’s not what I’m looking for in 2023 from the number two company in the US. And I gotta think it turns off at least a few potential sponsors. if I was really into AEW, blood wouldn’t be the thing that made me switch it off. But it is one factor, among others, that make Dynamite and the ppv’s skippable most nights. You can pretty much count on Mox bleeding most every Dynamite lately. I really don’t get it. Tony runs a very successful promotion that depends on tv and television sponsors to stay successful. Mox is on the short list for best in the world right now and has made millions. They don’t need to risk anyone with garbage wrestling and blade jobs, so why they keep going back to that is beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Have any women bled on PPV yet? Both Rosa-Baker matches and both TayJay matches were on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they get pushback from that? That’s true. I’m saying just the name of the match alone (Blood & Guts) will be off putting to sponsors if it’s eight or ten women in the match. The others have all been matches where Khan could claim the blood is accidental (steel cage, street fight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have no issue with that happening either. Heck the cage match from Dynamite with Dr Britt and Thunder Rosa is still one of my five favorite matches in AEW history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_Waffle Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Their #1 sponsor is an online bookie service for degenerate gamblers so hopefully opposing women's hardcore wrestling isn't high on anyone's list of potential dealbreakers. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point. I was thinking more along the lines of companies that sponsor WWE (Snickers mainly). I forgot Draft Kings is the top AEW sponsor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Moxley said in his big talk with Vince before he left that one of the major sticking points was he wanted to bleed and Vince said absolutely not. He's on the Mount Everest of this company. They are not getting rid of blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Ruby can bleed for ten. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
