Elsalvajeloco Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Enlighten me on this: Do people think it's Nazi related or is the promotion itself saying it's Nazi related? Cause if it's the latter, then that's certainly problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a kid, I would think "what exactly does the WWF European championship have to do with Europe?" Also--and I realize this is easy for me to say when I've never had to book a wrestling promotion--I think it's a bad sign if you need to introduce new titles to have feuds that feel like they're going somewhere. We all better if we value our collective health ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 On the "championships that aren't belts" tip, I'm partial to the MidwestTerritory.Com championship, a gold rope with a faceplate on it, currently held by "The Beast King" Chase Holliday 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 No, he burnt the staff and appeared with the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @RunningFromAmerica So no followup on these Nazi thing? I mean I could see it being confused with the Reichsadler, but at the same time, I wouldn't necessarily assume Nazi when a bunch of places use an eagle on something. That's pretty heavy to lay on someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) When the staff was unveiled, the crowd immediately chanted 'Nazi Staff!'. Jim Smallman (now NXTUK obv) said 'It's not a Nazi Staff!'. I think Progress saw it as more of an Ancient World thing than Nazis who were also trying to claim the mantle of the great Ancients. But they probably should have known better. Presented without comment: Edited February 26, 2021 by RunningFromAmerica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The PROGRESS symbol was an Eagle right? so they put that on a staff and people read it wrong. Probably just a poor decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sex Machine Gun Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 For a moment I entertained the idea of driving down to see this show in one shot without a hotel stay, then saw the tickets remaining on their site were $360. Seatgeek has them as low as $192 but damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I was planning on having a chill Sunday night watching the show until my friend practically invited himself last night. Considering him and a couple others coming up are either vaccinated or about to be soon I figure why the hell not. So let's just say I'll be needing this come Monday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sex Machine Gun Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Implying a long night reminds me, is it going to be three or four hours long? Fingers crossed for three, I can't remember which PPV it was (I don't think it was their last but the one before), however it went nearly four hours and dragged terribly by the end. I'd rather be able to care about a goddamn Exploding Anything match by the time it rolls around. The street fight should be the opener, now that I think about it. There's a street fight, a ladder match, and a deathmatch on the same card and they're going to have to space them out or we will be burned out by the main event.

Ryan Faulconer Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I reckon the Jericho & MJF vs Young Bucks World Tag team Title match is going on first. Tony K made the announcement on his AEW Unrestricted. Revolution PPV pseudo-hype show the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see three, maybe 3 1/2 at the most but anything past that is asking for trouble. If it does work that way then it won't affect my sleep schedule so fingers crossed on that one.

AxB Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 With the Barbed Wire match going on last, presumably it's going to take a while to change the ring up and fit the wire and bombs and that. So how are they filling the downtime there? Is that what the big legend announcement is going to be, a ring crew time filler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 As an adult who can make his own choices, I'm totally looking forward to getting high, eating a large bowl of pasta or fancy mac and cheese, and watching Revolution. Followed by dieting on Monday. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they want the two biggest matches on the show back-to-back, but last I heard the street fight is still thought to be cinematic. If that's the case, that could give them an opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how are they filling the downtime there? Is that what the big legend announcement is going to be, a ring crew time filler? I don't think it'll take very long to switch things out. At All out they were able to build / fill / install two giant pools of mimosas with connected platforms in the time it took for the hype video to play. I'm sure they had wheels and were just rolled into place. One of the benefits of the ringside being all workers that will move & help with setup. They have never said this is a no rope barbed wire match. And if you saw the hype video on the Road To show that played after Dynamite, looks like they have a wooden fence like structure with the barbed wire the length of the ring already pre made. Just take a minute or two to get them in place and drilled together. The bombs could just be attached to plywood boards and already pre assembled too. Just have to slide them into place at ringside or whatever? I could be full of shit here lol. But the Road To had stock footage of the AEW ring in Jacksonville with the barbed wire already in place, likely from a test run. I don't think they would fabricate something just for the hype video and that not actually be the way they are doing it. So no one be surprised when the ropes are still connected and it takes less than 5 mins to set it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 In Tony Khans rundown of the card on the podcast it seemed like they were doing the actual order of the card. Just remember the beginning and end: Spoiler Bucks vs jericho/mjf Tag team battle royal ... Page vs Hardy Moxley vs Omega IIRC all of the ppvs have been 4 hours so far.

Curt McGirt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 There definitely has to be a heat-killer before the main (if you have been reading Dolfan's Wrestlemania watches) and yeah... the Best Friends tag would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
