I know the pandemic forced them into using the same venue for ages but whenever I've watched AEW the set up has virtually always looked the same regardless of whether its a normal episode, a special or a PPV.  I hope they do have a slightly different set for Rampage just to differentiate it from Dynamite. The PPV sets Pre-pandemic tended to be decorated differently but they’ve pretty much alway used the tunnel entrances. Obviously they haven’t run a PPV outside of Jacksonville since last May, but I would imagine that All Out will have something different (assuming that the US hasn’t been locked down again by that time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 7, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2021 I wonder whether they'll rotate through the announce team. Excalibur is a good idea as an anchor play by play guy, Jericho can be a bit annoying when he's on commentary and in character. Him and Taz could be dreadful, but it could also provide Botchamania with plenty of material. Mark Henry can talk. I'm sure he k ows his stuff, or can research it and bring something to the (somewhat crowded) table as well. It could get a bit busy if Callis is out there with the Elite or something though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericho is generally fun at the announce desk, but Taz, for me, has stealthily been the best AEW announcer for some time. His sense of fun, natural with and genuine enthusiasm makes him a joy to watch, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless some TV execs have stuck their nose in and demanded more of the same then I can't see them going with an identical looking show although that said I would have expected a little more promotion of the fact it will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 10, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sucks for ITV fans, but I gave up watching crappy SD last year to opt for Fite ÂŁ4.99 a month. Now I get an extra show on top. Worth the money for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're able to pay for it via Roku it's far cheaper (either £2.99 or £3.99, I can't quite remember from the top of my head). You can also order it on Roku and still use it on Apple devices. I can't imagine Roku is alone with the cheaper price, so I'd say it's worth shopping around if you can. It's a small saving, but it adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 11, 2021 Had a Debbie Downer with wrestling today, but seeing Chris Jericho talk about my shitty little tweets has made me smile. Context: this was about the Dinner Debonair skit. I still stand by my opinion. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Was really tempted to stay up and watch the debut of Rampage, something which I’ve not done for any sort of wrestling for well over a decade, but FITE has listed as starting at 3am, no chance am I staying up for that. Saturday morning with a bowl of Wheetos, just like it used to be Edited August 11, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must've been late to the party with Sky. When you talk about Saturday mornings on Sky One from years back, it was always WWF Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
