It's not like they need to show full length matches. Dark side of the ring can use wwe footage without their permission under fair usage because it's for a documentary (and therefore classed as transformative), AEW can't. It means AEW would be limited to getting the rights to footage and photos outside of what WWE owns, which is very, very slim pickingsĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was home videos, photos, and some fan cams I think were thrown in. Which is my point, there's plenty of stuff out there to do the 5 minute hype package explaining the importance of Owen Hart with talking heads thrown in. So much so you don't need the WWE stuff. They aren't doing a commerative DVD that needs dozens of matches as extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Land Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 TK was Busted Open Radio and said expect details tonight on Rampage. One bit of information revealed was that there will be both a men's and women's tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Both finals to be held at Double Or Nothing in May I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsurutagun Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Looks like a single elimination tournament based on the graphic. Would have liked something a bit different than the normal Eliminator tournament formatĀ Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Yeah, I think two groups of four with everyone wrestling each other once, and then the top 2 from each group progress to the semi's and a final would have been a bit different and not something we see in Wrestling very often.

Liam O'Rourke Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Agreed, that was the original G1 format in 1991, that would work a treat here.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 21, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2021 The problem with that format is people might find it more Bound For Glory Series than G1. It's a really good idea, though, if you had the right talent you could do it in a night over a single show as well like at Starrcade 89.Ā Jericho will win.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Honestly I'd love for an outsider like Daniel Garcia to win the mens tournament.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll elaborate: I'd love if it was underneath guys in the tournament because it'd be good exposure for them, and could be a good way of elevating somebody to the next level. As much of an attraction as it could be to just stick 8 of your top guys in it, there's an opportunity to make another star here. Somebody like Dani Garcia winning would be nice.Ā The problem then is that I don't know whether there are enough women on the roster that they'd be able to do the same with that side of the tournament, and it could provoke a bit of "why is it all top women in this tournament, but underneath guys in this one?"Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more chance of this being treated as the NJ Cup than KOTR. It might not always be the winner that's someone new. Along the way you could easily get someone like Dani Garcia beating a Mox/Punk/Darby type that would be a sign they're about to get a more serious push.

JimmyAnderson Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think as it's the first Owen Cup, they'll want a big name winning it to show respect to both Owen and his family and also make a point of saying this tournament/cup is worth winning in the future.Ā Couple of years down the line, they can start looking at the future of the company winning it but for the first two or three years it'll need to be the more established stars to add prestige and respect to the cup.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
