Raziel Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Can we retire the phrase "Forbidden Door" after this show ends, because the door isn't really Forbidden if a fuckton of people have been walking through it over the last 2 years. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 There's no door on the hinges anymore, it's just an open entry way now. Really opens up the floor plan too. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is DEAD IN A PINE BOX, and the other is through that big, wide-open gate right over there, which we'd like you to please consider 'off-limits.'" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not before they do a skit where they have Yano in Japan walk by a door with "Forbidden Door" written on it, he walks through it and magically pops out of the entrance at a live Dynamite. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 We will see if below has any effects on AEW https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/tnt-tbs-scripted-programming-development-scrapped-warner-bros-discovery-1235241348/ Then again they might just ask for more AEW on TBS tv like the old WCW days. AEW is still part of the "sports" section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 No more scripted promos or choreographed matches. Call it in the ring and cut promos on the fly. Book the shows in the car. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it means no more promos for that cringe Chad show during PiP, it's already had a positive effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTCGuy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Honestly I feel like AEWs in a pretty good spot right now. Every major network is looking for cheap, easy to produce content to fill ad space and this def fits that bill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that they're starting to show some HBO Max originals a year after they started, since (arguably) TBS' best show - Search Party - was moved from the network to HBO Max for the last two or three seasons. They also had Conan O'Brien for like 11 years, so, y'know. I absolutely adored his Conan Without Borders specials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I wouldn't mind Moriarty in the Blackpool Combat Club, but I kind of want someone that's a brawler like Mox so he can have his own young boy - in my mind, YUTA is more of a trainee for Danielson than Mox, since he's more technically based and whatnot. The only person I could really see joining that would fit that would be JD Drake, but I don't think that's going to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Rip Byson from Limitless would be a great Mox protege if they were looking outside the promotion for such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEW is still part of the "sports" section. I’m worried about this more than some other people here for sure. What are the major non news cable networks? Tnt, Tbs, usa, espn. If discovery decides to be out the others are out as well. Of course someone like wgn america would pick them up and decide to make that the flagship. It wouldn’t be for more money and it would be a massive downgrade in promotion and prestige. This all strikes me as Not Good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX and AMC are just outside of the top 20 cable networks that have the most viewership, and I’d say they have more prestige (not viewers) than TNT or TBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess aew could wind up on amc, sure wouldn’t have the feel of being promoted during the nba. And that would be a reach, is amc searching out live sports and rebranding their network? There are very few landing spots here even with great ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Fox SmackDown airs on has no connection to FX, which is now owned by Disney. But I'm welcome to being corrected on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
