Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 Santana and Ortiz not being in the title tournament makes me think they're likely to be Jericho's partners, then.

Don't be ridiculous. It's pro-wrestling. They've presented win/loss records, presented these brackets as if legit. That's their bag. Pretending they still won't hit all the pro-wrestling tropes is just desperately trying to be a smart arse.
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 This discussion around what is (and what isn't) "Real sports feel! Wins and losses matter!" is getting incredibly tiresome. It's just a gimmick. Heels will cheat the system whilst the valiant babyfaces will play by the book. It's wrestling 101. ROH went the same route with the "Code Of Honor" and easily cemented the likes of Christopher Daniels as the big bads when they cheated and didn't shake their opponent's hand.
Paid Members Chris B Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 I really like the idea of Private Party upsetting the Bucks. Gives them a big moment on their first TV show, makes clear anything can happen - and I'm up for them having a match with anyone on there. While I'm 'meh' on the Dark Order, their matches have been fun to watch. So Private Party vs The Bucks, then Lucha Bros, then Dark Order? That wouldn't be bad at all.

Whilst probably true, it also ties in to the "wins & losses matter" discussion as teams had to qualify and earn their spots in this tournament. A team doing a surprise run-in at the show before the Tournament begins certainly should not be considered for that Tournament in that case. Then if they rack up some impressive wins in the meantime (against Evans/Angelico to start with - also not in the Tournament) they will be a good feud for the newly crowned Champions. I like it.

TildeGuy~! Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 3 hours ago, MPDTT said: I'm a little disappointed. I hoped for a tournament double the size given they still have Angelico/Evans, Santana/Ortiz, the Brotherhood, Stronghearts plus some makeshift teams they could put together. They’ve been doing 1st round bye and qualification matches for the past 3 months.
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 ...they’re leaving it very very late to officially confirm this is live on ITV4 every week, aren’t they? I’m starting to wonder if there’s a problem.
Paid Members Weezenal Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 Imagine if they go the TNA weekly PPV route after all the hype.
Paid Members garynysmon Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) AEW hasn't done anything to really pique my interest yet. But as superficial as this may sound, stuff like this would get me watching in a heartbeat! As this forum has been banging on about for years, the boring sets and locations has plagued the WWE since the end of the Attitude Era really. https://wrestletalk.com/news/aew-planning-on-location-shows-like-wcw/?fbclid=IwAR3aXdzMX1KydOunTiIijvLxpjoqTgGhZtTKxyA24dATbXRnNz6Tb4bp5MA Edited September 18, 2019 by garynysmon
kidzero Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 The show name is... All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite

All signs are that they'll either be recording an episode or airing an episode live from the Jericho Cruise in January. Sounds like a brilliant idea. Guys brawling on the deck, angles and interviews being shot in cabins, a heel trying to throw someone overboard. Hell yeah. The antithesis of WWE programming where everything looks and feels the exact same for years and years.

I’m starting to wonder if there’s a problem. It’s been confirmed hasn’t it? Seen it doing the rounds on a couple of Facebook groups. Live showing same time as US with repeats at weekends at a normal time
