The King Of Swing Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Imo the second TV show still not materialising (I'm half convinced that Elevation was originally meant to be that show) has hurt AEW's roster a little.
CavemanLynn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 When Wardlow takes Ogogo's gut punch and is the first NOT to drop, I, a grown 38 year old man, may get pregnant via the TV screen. No problem with factionising the roster. Everywhere has cliques and groups. It's the sixth form common room vibe. You know in any angle who's got whose back, but you can have them off doing their own things. I'm imagining Miro obliterating Kip after getting the win, but Best Friends making the save, not to have him join their group of energetic slackers, but just to tie up that feud once and for all so Miro can move on without actually murdering Sabian.

Unless they have word with Tony Khan and start coming out to Joy Division.

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 22, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 22, 2021 Them selling the Blood and Guts episode of Dynamite as a, “one match show,” fills me with dread. Even if they pad it out with brilliant video packages and promos before kicking off the match itself, that’s overall still two hours of TV time to fill. They better have something clever or impressive planned. Anyone who follows this business in its current climate should be taking inspiration from that brutal Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly bout and looking for ways to shorten matches, not make them longer. In the Covid era, you need something fucking spectacular to even consider going anywhere near twenty five minutes, never mind beyond. I’m still at a complete loss as to why this isn’t on the Pay Per View. What could they have saved that could top this match a few weeks later? Stadium Stampede 2?
The King Of Swing Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Think it's been said before but isn't AEW basically a TV promotion that promotes a few PPV's a year? Personally I would prefer B&G on PPV but it's pretty obvious that they value TV ratings over buyrates. Saying that though they did have the Omega/Mox death match on PPV but that may have been too much for TNT to allow on TV.

Jesus, did they say that? I completely missed it. If they actually do this, bloody hell. In one sense I suppose I have to applaud them for taking what is clearly an enormous risk. In another, there’s no part of me whatsoever that wants to see any match go on for that long. They’ll have to come up with one hell of an innovative format to make that even slightly tolerable.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 22, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 22, 2021 Over 1 million viewers again this week.
Guest Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Seen Paul wight mentioned twice in the last few pages as under-utilised, they said he was coming in as commentator, and he’s done that and is doing a fine job both in the chair and in backstage interviews on elevation. I’d expect more complaining if he was on dynamite
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 22, 2021 Paid Members Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) My guess is he wants to wait til there's crowds before doing anything in ring but itd be good to have the occasional Dynamite appearance. Edited April 22, 2021 by LaGoosh

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 I'm guessing with the May 5th show it'll be the build up, promos and stuff for much of hour 1, the entrances of the two factions just before the top of the hour then the match itself for hour 2
