fozzyrock1986 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Looks like the Sunday morning airing has already been dropped by itv. Not on today or next week. Interesting to see that the Friday night airing was the same as the FITE tv version with no interruptions.

BrodyGraham Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Yeah, I remember thinking that it was ages since Jericho was pretending to be Nick Bockwinkel and JR still hasn't cottoned on.

Be interesting to see the online streaming/vod numbers.

You're cheerleading for this new show, and fair enough (I'm also enjoying it so far) but it's out in the wild now and will get reactions, and they won't all be universally positive. This must be what it's like to be Meltzer. I gave my opinion on both shows so far. Don't think either can be classed as "cheerleading". I'll continue to point out hypocrisy though. The reaction to AEW since day one has been full of it. I've not just popped in to say anything about NXT either. I've held that opinion consistently for years. When it's good, it's outstanding. Week to week, it's hugely overrated. You're right though, easily the best weekly show. That's more of a comment on the others IMO.

DavidB6937 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 There are some brainwashed AEW fans undoubtedly who would defend the show no matter what. I imagine it's what ECW fans were like back in the day. To be honest.. as annoying as it can be, its almost admirable that AEW have managed to achieve such a loyalty and belief in what is really a short space of time. How that translates on a larger scale is yet to be seen but they have a solid foundation.

The difference is that ECW fans weren't like that before it had even held one event. Some people had decided this was the promotion to end them all before they'd even announced a match.
Keith Houchen Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I wouldn’t say they’re brainwashed AEW fans, I’d say they are so blinded by their hatred of WWE and Vince not being their real dad, that they’d have championed anything that had the clout of AEW.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 13, 2019 Paid Members Posted October 13, 2019 When Tony Khan eventually gets all frustrated and starts sacking bastards like he did at Fulham, that's when the party will start. Wrestling never goes your way all the time. And this lot are so thinskinned its frightening. Once they hit that "its not new anymore" period, its going to be fun to see the reaction. Hope that isnt for a long time, because I quite enjoy their weekly TV. But this isnt going to go swimmingly forever.

When was the last time a startup company had such a monumental amount of money behind it, a TV deal with TNT and some of the biggest names in the industry who haven’t been tainted by shitty WWE booking? To be fair there was plenty to get excited about before even considering the in-ring stuff. I’m not saying it’s right to get your hopes up so early on but I can certainly see why there was/is so much hype surrounding AEW.

I don't think it needs spelling out why certain parties hitched their wagon to AEW before they'd even done a match, and it had nothing to do with how much money was behind it or what American TV station it was on. Certain people had already made their mind up beforehand and that's stupid.
Pinc Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Fucking hell who’s arsed. Let people get excited about things.
