King Mal the Glorious Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Surely they should have done this 2 months ago when he was feuding with Spears and Tully?

It is a formula which has worked consistently for some of the biggest draws of all time. Not in such quick succession. It makes the babyface look like an idiot. As I say, give it a year if you must do it. Edited December 30, 2019 by Snitsky's back acne

If he gets screwed again he may come off as a mug that can't see when people are playing him. Doesn't look good for a top face. Maybe I'm wrong. Well we can assume he has known Arn his whole life, so he would be someone to trust and watch his back. Not suggesting it be a quick partnership with the turn coming after a few weeks. They’d need to lay some ground work for it to have a proper impact. Makes sense to lay the groundwork for the future though
Michael_3165 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 That's assuming all fans know the backstory. Aew hasn't got form for explaining things that thoroughly

Michael_3165 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 If you dont want new fans then fine. They should be aiming at new, younger fans. Playing to people who know all about nwa and wcw is fine but they need a broader audience to grow and develop. Relying on old fans isn't going to get money or ratings because there is a reason those fans turned off.

They aren’t relying on him to bring new fans, that’s just a fucking ridiculous thing to suggest. He is a manager, not a draw or a future world champion.
CavemanLynn Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Quick video reel of Rhodes family photos - Arn and the Horsemen attacking Dusty, Dusty and Arn hanging out as friends, tween Cody with ol' uncle Arn. Story told. Job done. Seems like a waste of booking though. Son of the Dream Cody already has Dustin and DDP in his corner. Successful businessman Cody doesn't need a manager for his affairs. Mic man Cody is too good to need a separate mouthpiece. Spears and Tully are in Cody's rear view mirror. Old man Arn isn't taking out Wardlow or anyone else.
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 30, 2019 Whoever is timing out Wednesday’s show has already got a tough job considering how much stuff has been announced, but if they don’t intersperse the seven minutes from this online video they’re fucking crazy. https://youtu.be/dxsBkNdZah8 Fantastic stuff. How they don’t fill their TV show with this type of gold is beyond me.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted December 30, 2019 cause that would eat into the 15+ minute matches
UK Kat Von D Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Great video which hypes Dynamite really well, they do need more of that on TV. Everyone in it looks great. Agree that Cody doesn’t really need Arn. He does do well when DDP is by his side, except there is nowhere that can really go as DDP could never turn heel on anyone. Whoever gets the rub from Arn turning would benefit and the eventual spinebuster to Cody will be a good moment.

LWOLeN Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 AEW Payroll: - Cody Rhodes EVP - Cody Rhodes Talent - Cody Rhodes’ advisor Arn Anderson - Brandi Rhodes CBO - Brandi Rhodes Talent I think I know what to do to make AEW profitable in 2020.....
King Pitcos Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 AEW doesn’t need to be profitable. It just needs to not lose enough money for daddy to pull the plug.
