Wyld Samurai Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm still holding out hope for an AEW Worlds Heavyweight Champion- "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. I feel like it's going to happen. He can have a Hogan/Brock like schedule and I would be totally fine for a quarterly run with that. Give him 2 PPV Main Events and call it good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young punk who's putting on airs while simultaneously exposing his cheesy gimmick by seemingly owning only one Burberry scarf? I don't understand how anyone can like him. Which is what he's going for. More power to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Agreed on feeling the entrance themes were mostly lackluster and sounding liked canned production bed music, but as they are building to the debut of the TV show, it may not be a bad idea to start getting the entrance themes out there on YouTube, put up mini-Titantron videos or DoN highlight reels set to the themes so folks will be more aware of them by the time Weekly TV starts. And if one of them turns out to be a gem, it could maybe go viral like "Glorious" did and got a huge pop/sing-along when it hit on Bobby Roode's first NXT match.

It was the same thing as All In where the music volume on TV sounded low and/or hollow. I don't think I've ever seen a non-WWE show that didn't have this problem. It's like WWE has some secret proprietary method for actually making entrance music come through clearly. Very weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's going to happen. He can have a Hogan/Brock like schedule and I would be totally fine for a quarterly run with that. Give him 2 PPV Main Events and call it good. The general assumption is that Jericho's winning it, then dropping it to Kenny at some point. But if they go another way, Hangman winning and dropping it to Dustin is definitely different. Although the money with Page is in him chasing the title, in about two years. And the supershow main event for a year from now is Kenny vs Cody for the belt. If Jericho is the first champion and Dustin gets a title quest (beating Kenny for a shot?) that might be good. Aah, fantasy booking, nevermind. I hope Dustin isn't a two and out. Especially now he has a hundred and one matches better than Triple H's best match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 So is there any idea what a secondary title for AEW might be? Lightweight or maybe a good old fashion Television title? If they did a television title, MJF would be the second coming of Tully Blanchard. Also do they plan on having all their PPV's going forward to be $49.99? I wasn't too happy with Amazon (I downloaded the B/L app for the Amazon fire) adding $4.44 in taxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Tony Khan said no weight classes. I'm guessing just World, World Women's and Tags to start with. Maybe Hardcore later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Samurai Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I don't have a problem with a $50 ppv if there's only 3-4 a year. The sound is something that I would be getting fixed. I recall ECW having a better sound system than what we heard at DoN when it came to entrance music. If AEW wants to splurge they could get work that Tommy Boy Records like type of deal that ECW had to allow for the use of pop songs. It would definitely help the product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Re: Secondary title Since NXT has a North American Championship and WWE has the US Championship I don't see AEW using those names. A TV Championship would fit- and if they wanted a "Hardcore" type of fun belt there's always revisiting the ultra cool and classic name of an AEW Brass Knuckles Championship. If anything it would give Jimmy Havoc something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Why has no one named a secondary title after a person? “Vergil Runnels Memorial Championship” could work. Edited May 29, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 2 hours ago, AxB said: Dustin Rhodes would be be obvious one, but we don't know what his schedule is going to be. One more match and retire, Undertaker schedule for a few years, or fulltime weekly. Probably not the last one. He would make some guys look tiny though. Janela looked small next to Moxley, and Dustin's got a few inches on Mox. Most indy guys are considerably smaller than the WWF guys. Billy Gunn is "normal" by WWE standards but is a giant in AEW.

RIPPA Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 The fact that on numerous occasions they have talked about how important the tag team division is to the promotion (and not to mention the Bucks helping start it) - they are clearly doing tag titles fairly quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
