DavidB6937 Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 You're a shit hype man. With all the good will they've built up with a consistently good Dynamite and other shows that are incredibly easy to watch, Rampage feels like a show everyone really needs to tune in to - especially for the first few weeks. 4 seems a bit crowded but hopefully it'll work. Would be alright with them dropping Henry eventually although he does look the most excited he's been since he slept with Mae Young. Britt Baker vs Red Velvet confirmed for the first episode. Baker has had an incredible year so hoping this match will be decent and she won't let Tony down. And then this.. I mean I'm fully prepared to wee myself with excitement with no shame at all. And probably cry a little.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 5, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 5, 2021 Unless I misheard it on Dynamite, hasn't Darby Allin made an open challenge to "the best in the world" for the Chicago show? Good lord.
Michael_3165 Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Given that I'm far from an avid viewer but surely they are at risk of saturation point w their programming? Less is more.

Less is more. That’s probably exactly what they’re going for though. They’re a new company. They’ll be going for brand awareness. They want people to also think of AEW as well as WWE when someone mentions the word “wrestling” to their friends. So to achieve that they’ll be trying to get their product in front of as many eyes as possible.
Perry Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 To be fair, Rampage is only going to be a 1hr show. Although if it's popular, they'll probably go to 2hrs and start earlier at 9 so they can compete with the last hour of Smackdown.

Less is more. It's only an extra hour (40 minutes with adverts) on a different night and they've got a huge roster with a significant chunk of it barely able to get regular TV time at the moment. They're absolutely nowhere near saturation point.
Merzbow Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) So are we thinking that they'll split the Dark and Elevation filming between both tv shows? Seems to make the most sense so there's not one super long recording session a week. But God yeah, a Punk/Darby showdown of sorts on the Chicago show, I can't wait. Edited August 5, 2021 by Merzbow
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Will this go on to FITE in the U.K.? Will it be included in the AEW subscription?

Love-Wilcox Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Two years ago I didn’t know who Darby Allin even was and now I’m practically salivating at the thought of him being the opponent in CM Punk’s return match. Incredible!

They will need to for rampage to sell tickets, as a one hour show will need more around it to get fans along. Although looks like the week in Ohio they are taping Rampage after dynamite so dunno what will happen with dark and elevation that week
