Tromatagon Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Yeah I was replying to @alstein and just didn't quote them.

Same here. While having it on Fite would have been nice for the sake of convenience I'm cool with going through B/R Live. Reading the paragraph on analytics and such it almost seems like something that Fox might have considered doing for WWE. Probably not as detailed (or good) but if that's what Fox was hinting at then it's neat to see AEW beat them to it.
J.H. Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I'm more comcerned how often their eventual show will be pre-empted for Basketball. I mrean do they use thre spring to take off TVand then come back strong for the summer? I feel like we are going to get a lot of "WWCW pre-empted for Braves Baseball" situations James

Will it be somebody with prior wrestling experience, or somebody from Turner? I’m very open to somebody from a non-wrestling background to see what they’ll do different in presenting this on television. I understand the trepidation toward making this a WCW tribute act, but I wouldn't hate if they got some of that crew like Craig Leathers, Neal Pruitt etc. Regardless of how bad the show got, it always looked pretty visually top notch 19 minutes ago, Tromatagon said: It's going to be on B/R Live, Bleacher Report's streaming service, also owned by Turner/Warner I think I posted this before, but I watched a Phil Mickelson/Tiger Woods one on one golf game with a few buddies on there, and it was the shits. So many people had issues it eventually turned into a "Woodstock is now a free concert!" situation
John from Cincinnati Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I hope "real sports analytics" means breaking down battle royal eliminations by launch angle and exit velocity. 5 2

AxB Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 You know how when WWE replays a big spot, they always go super slow motion for the launch, and most of the fall, but then they speed right back up for the actual landing? Slow mo replays of actual bump taking would differentiate this show right away. 3
LoneWolf&Subs Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 First episode better be at a mall, and Punk comes out as the big signing. But with a Sbarro’s behind him instead. 5
jaedmc Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Malls ain't what they used to be. They'd be lucky to find one with a Sbarro. More like some dude selling old ladies CBD to cure their arthritis. 1 2
matt925 Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 This is great now that it’s officially official, but I have to say I’m surprised by the lack of details. Weren’t they supposed to have a dedicated press conference to go along with the press release? I figured for sure they would say the start date and name of the program today.

Sbarro’s, Auntie Anne’s, Pacific Sun Wear, etc... You name it, we probably still have it. Edited May 15, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs

jaedmc Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Anecdotal, but any time I go on vacation or hiking, I hit up the small town malls for fun, and there are so many that are horrifyingly empty. In Chicago and the suburbs they're still big, but in so many little places that I've been they're relics. It's kinda sad. It might be why I'm looking forward to Stranger Things, because it'll tap into my nostalgia for hanging at the mall. What were we talking about again? Dick plexes? 2
LoneWolf&Subs Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Read an official tweet from B/R stating the show will be 49.99 on their streaming service. They need to do an about face quick. A full PPV price is a mistake in this day, and age. Their subs would go up huge if they offered this free with a subscription to their service, or at least a lot lower cost than this. Sure they’ll eat the cost at the start, but they’ll be rewarded in the future. Edited May 15, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs
John from Cincinnati Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Far be it for me to criticize anyone's price point, but for me personally that's a bit much considering how much access I already have to content which is cheaper or outright free. Same for watching Starrcast -- I can't imagine paying so much for any of that when there are so many wrestling podcasts and shoots already out there in the wild. I wish them all the success and I know there's plenty of demand for this. But I'm not eager to part with that kind of money. Day of when everyone's excited and I'm feeling the hype? We'll see how I feel.
Dewar Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I cannot wait for JR to get fired for pointing out that "none of these fucking pussies were big enough to play college football", then returns as a heel manager with Colt Cabana, who actually played college football. PURE SPORTS BUILD!!!!!!! If the weekly show is available in Canada, I will probably watch. Not shelling out fifty bucks to watch a PPV though. 1 2

Dewar Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Just now, West Newbury Bad Boy said: Kenny doesn't seem like a guy who forgets where he's from. I'm sure him and his boys will work out something. I will believe this to be true when I see some of his PCW rivals appearing on AEW television. The Big Sexy Beasts should have been in that battle royale! Not sure where they could air in Canada. Sportsnet isn't taking them because of WWE, TSN has shown zero interest in wrestling since they got rid of WWE, and The Fight Network might take a pass because they own Impact.
The Great ML Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 6 hours ago, Hagan said: Unless I'm wildly off, and I don't think I am, that TNT tweet is a call back to Ted Turner calling Vince after buying WCW and telling him "Vince, I'm in the rasslin' business" and Vince replying something along the lines of "I'm in the entertainment business." It'd help had they be entertaining once in a while...unless he meant entertaining himself. Oh Lord, I am this slow...that's exactly what he meant. Give my my rasslin' back.
