Business is not a zero sum game. Their goal should be to make money, not cost WWE money. What's the point in taking shots at WWE? Don't yip and yap from the porch if you don't want to run with The Big Dog, baby girl. People calling them the number 2 wrestling company in the world before they even ran a show and now they can't compete head to head with WWE at their creative lowest cause TNA failed on Monday night almost a decade ago on a different network. It's not like running on Monday night costs more than running on Wednesday so there's no financial consequences. Cowards, I say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ad split probably becomes a lot less lucrative if advertisers and agencies see a more established brand running a higher-rated wrestling program at the same time as yours. While it might not be more out of pocket to produce the shows, that's still an opportunity cost. It's way too early to be talking about Mondays. For as much fun as it's been to speculate and skip down memory lane, we have no idea what this thing will even look like yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Naah. I was going to do a 4 generations of AJPW tag tourney though, now I've got Zeus and Miyahara. Other generations being Misawa & Kawada, Tsuruta & Tenryu, and Baba & Dory Funk Jr or someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting the word out to some friends and the idea of AEW working with CEO has drawn some interest from them. I just hope that for a free show there's a good chance of curious people checking it out. Ive gotten one of my friends back into wrestling. He’s excited about aew but I doubt he’s signed up for b/r live so I’ll have to remind him. We went to g1 special in San Francisco and the nxt house show/tv taping in San Jose, and recently he asked what’s the next show we’re going too. In the group text with my close friends, I occasionally send big wrestling news like the official tnt announcement, and the interest level is very low haha. I also bring it up to coworkers who have expressed a passing interest in wrestling, and there isn’t much return engagement on those conversations or texts as well haha. Hopefully the tv show will turn things around but we are still firmly in the bubble. But I love wrestling and try to share it without being annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) 3 days away and I'm getting pretty exciting for what might just be a throwaway show, but I'm hoping it's maybe a beta run for what future TV shows or PPVs could look like. At the very least, the one thing I want is for them to get their audio issues sorted out so you can hear the entrance music for the wrestlers, which would go a long way towards identifying who's coming out. For example, I know Jericho comes out to Judas, but it sounded so drowned out, almost like how it would sound on an indy tape/dvd. Besides that, I can recognize the Bucks' music because I've heard it plenty of times before, I could hear Cody's music, but for anyone else, I couldn't tell you what their music sounded like. Dustin Rhodes sounded like he came to that one Green Day song because all I could hear were just a few chords. Other than that, just keep the show fun and fresh. No one needs to be dropping anyone on their heads or doing anything stupid. That goes for Janella and Moxley too.

Tromatagon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Card is too stacked for it to be a throwaway show. Even if they decided to do all fuck finishes, which they won't, the match-ups they have going on should be worth watching, especially for $0 (sorry some of you foreign weirdos have to pay) Edited June 26, 2019 by Tromatagon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Yeah I prefer the Shudder show big time. Monstervision just cut all the good shit out of the movies. His other show on The Movie Channel before that was legit though. I love Joe Bob but my life goes like this now: I see a cool movie and tell my friends they should watch it. They don't. Joe Bob shows it and they love the movie. Edited June 26, 2019 by Tromatagon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovers vs Naito/Hiromu was every bit as good as Lovers vs Tana/Ospreay last December. The other matches with NJPW talent were all fun as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
