Mr Butternut Squash Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Anyone know what was up with the piped in crowd noise during Luchas vs Acclaimed? Was there a dodgy chant? Bit concerning.

Joe Blog Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 This is it for Tony isn't it. They will beat Smackdown by a tiny amount and then next thing you know Dynamite is moving to Monday. I don't want Hogan and Bischoff in AEW man.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 9, 2021 Punk and Garcia was a really fun match worked brilliantly by them both. 2.0 are my favourite goofs in wrestling right now. Just so much enjoyment in those two idiots. Enjoyed The Acclaimed before Caster's faux pas. Nice to see them back on form. "Packing heat like Arn Anderson" cracked me up. Match was a bit throwaway which is a shame but it was never built. The tbs belt should help give the women more focus. Can't see past Jade as first champ with a win over Rosa in the final. Main event was fine. Not a Starks fan but he did a good job with Cage. Also enjoyed the tribute to his friend Chris Kanyon but otherwise, he really feels out of place here. Not a chance they beat Smackdown.

Their FS1 ratings have been completely awful in the past. Agree on Cage. I don’t mind him, but I feel he’d be better off in MLW or ROH or similar.
69MeDon Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Just thinking out loud here but I wonder if WWE throwing this extra half hour of Smackdown out next week might be testing the waters to move to a three hour show? Extra money for WWE, plus it would hurt AEW.
Paid Members JNLister Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 9, 2021 Last time Smackdown moved to FS1 it did the same rating in 18-49s that Rampage did last week. So it's certainly plausible you wind up with a Showbuzz Daily chart next week that has a list with AEW ahead of WWE.

Paid Members JNLister Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 9, 2021 Bearing in mind you've got four different comparisons: * Total viewership for whole show. * 18-49 for whole show. * Total viewership during head-to-head period, * 18-49 during head-to-head period There's a very good chance of some incredibly tedious arguments about what counts as "winning".
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 9, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 9, 2021 Just remembered CM Punk's Dusty elbow. Brilliant. And better than his Savage elbow!
Chili Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Let's give Taz a hearty nod for his outstanding almost Heenan-esq delivery of 'There's ya gamanguri, right in the nuts!' I absolutely love Taz. GIVE THEM WAR MACHINE!!! Edited October 9, 2021 by Chili
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 10, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 10, 2021 I hear Smackdiwn's extra half hour will be given to Edge & Rollins inside hell in a cell. So does this just further put paid to the WWE company line of "we don't view AEW as competition?" or is it just coincidence? If I was TK I'd have some coffee spilling angle in the back involving two out of Punk, Jericho and Danielson then spin a match out of it in a nod to that bollocks with Kane way back when. Or even stick one of Danielson and Punk in the ring with somebody. What's Adam Cole up to?
