Infinity Land

Had a quick look back and don't see this mentioned. Apologies if I've missed something but the thread has expanded quite quickly. News broke of Awesome Kong/Kharma signing with WWE at the end of 2010. After getting the post-WM 2011 vignette treatment to hype her debut. Eventually attacking some Divas. It would become a wrestling What If... moment as it never went beyond that as she discovered she was pregnant. There would a single in-ring appearance in the 2012 Royal Rumble. Note this is before there are two gendered versions. At this point I think only Chyna had competed in the Rumble. She was released in the summer of 2012.

Headhunters reminded me of the Head Bangers being brought back at some point. I thought it might have been during the WWECW era, but no even more recent than that. Came back in 2016 and had 3 matches over a few months. Then in terms of embarassing exits. Antonio Inoki comes out to end a match between Sylvester Terkay (brief WWE stint with Elijah Burke) and Doc Gallows. This would be Terkay's last match in the IGF having wrestled there for a few years. Gallows would have his third and final match for the company soon after to end his short stint there.

Vic Grimes as Key in 90s WWF. He was renamed but as a gimmick 'Hirohito' I think ended after one vignette. Went on to become Kenzo Suzuki. Konnan as Max Moon.

MLW & NWA would love to have him. Bowens will be hoping his next move is more successful.

Didn't D'Amore only book "TNA" for a couple of months before he was fired. Just as Anthem decided to finally put some real investment into the company.

I've always thought that Wembley looks great on TV. Especially once the light fades. It helped this year that they seemed to add a little to their production. I'd happily watch the Sting/Darby entrance from the first All In and Ospreay/Omega from this year, and the crowd being half the size means nothing to me. Having Wembley every other year can work. Where to go in those alternate years can be challenging. MLS stadiums in LA or NY areas? Northwestern just opened their new football stadium this season, that gives the Chicago area a modern 30k stadium that AEW should be able to make look good. On the TV front. The standalone Rampages and launch of Collision didn't help. Spread things too thin, burns out crowds with double tapings. The expanded PPV schedule minimising the importance of TV has been another dent. Went from a 4-6k expectation for a Dynamite to grinding out 2-3k unless they are in major markets. It has been that way for years. There have been changes in that time thankfully as they faced the goldilocks problem. The extremes of Cavernous arenas and tiny residencies have been squeezed out of the rotation to where they are not as noticeable. Starting to go international a little more often. The golf arena and Jericho cruise giving some novelty.

It was an amazing, emotionally draining show. There was a moment in the middle of the Ospreay/Richochet match with the run down for upcoming shows mentioning Collision is live Saturday. I hadn't really thought about it but i'm glad for everyone involved it was a standalone Dynamite and not a marathon tv taping.

Who knows what it will do for viewership in the US. No one can keep up with Nielsen are tweaking in the attempt to keep their customers happy. Airing at the same time does help drown out social media and split coverage from media sources.

Just before 8am started watching it. It wasn't in a prime spot on the home page with the countdown shows confusing things, so I just put All Out in the search bar. I don't think they'd edited anything. Fortunately I had heard about Borden and the announced recovery, otherwise I would have had Over The Edge '99 flashbacks. I had dreaded the 5h20min run time but quickly found out that's because the buy in was included as part of it.

What are The Hardys expected to be doing? They're one of the few draws TNA have, once a match gets announced for them that would probably help a little.
