Dolfan in NYC Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's the Brodie Tribute Show. Nothing more needs to be said. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Man, this show will be an emotional one. R.I.P. Mr. Brodie Lee. Such a tragedy. My thoughts go out to his family and friends at this saddest of times xxx Edited December 30, 2020 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Curious to see what kind of number this show pulls. One the one hand, it doesn't seem to have much appeal unless you're really affected by Brodie's death. I can imagine casual fans being barely aware that he had died and not really into the idea of a two-hour memorial. On the other hand, does AEW even have casual fans? On the other hand, NXT hasn't announced much so I'm guessing it will mostly be the "year-end awards." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I just hope it's not too much you know? Like two hours of tribute might drain everyone emotionally rather than building to one big match with the Dark Order or having the whole roster come out and do the Dark Order claw salute on the stage at once. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I think there's potential to do a thing or two such as Anna trying again to get Tay to join and Matt's heel tendencies can come into play again. Then there's Page maybe liking Reynolds/Silver more and realizing he could use them going forward. But even if not that then while emotionally draining I'm sure they'll want to put on entertaining matches in his honor anyway. So it could balance out somehow. And as far as ratings this week doesn't matter one bit. So I hope that when people go on about numbers they realize that they may have missed the point of the tribute show. And that's not a snipe at anybody in particular but more of a general statement. Edited December 30, 2020 by NikoBaltimore 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think this show will be great therapy for his friends in the company. Tonight is more for them than for us. I'm looking forward to an amazing show. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I stocked up on the Kleenex for tonight and I'll be proudly wearing my Exalted One shirt. God bless Brodie Lee 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Brodie’s family is in attendance tonight per Cody’s Instagram. That’s gonna make it even more emotional, for me anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it considering my wife lost her mom in October and her uncle last month I may need to see if watching this is a good idea for her. She's feeling the emotional strain enough as it is and this might be understandably too much for her. And I do like that WWE wrestlers are hyping up this show as companies they work for aside they know what day it is. And unless they all get taken down then good on WWE for allowing them to do this.

I know I said this tonight would be therapy for Brodie's friends...but I think tonight will also be a therapeutic and emotional night for everyone who has lost and suffered over the past few months. You guys should watch together...I think it will do you both good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for your losses. Virtual hugs xxx. It's refreshing how wrestling has come together to mourn Brodie Lee and WWE wrestlers talking up tonight's show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I loved everything about tonight. I cried. I laughed. I learned. I appreciated. And if I can be a little bit better tomorrow than I was today, as Mox said, I will know who to thank. And that ending... absolutely perfect.
