Chili Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 If we are myoptically (might be a word) comparing AEW to TNA beyond the anything with Kevin Nash in it then anyone who hates watches a product deserves it. Quote

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 20, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 20, 2022 Another problem with some of Dixie's announcements were that she'd announce that next week she was going to make an announcement, then Tenay & West would sell it like "oh my goodness, that was huge, what will the announcement be?"

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 21, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 21, 2022 Or the way they made vignettes and had segments teasing and hyping the return of the Main Event Mafia, only for Diesel and Booker T to turn up at the Royal Rumble the week before the reveal was supposed to take place.

Merzbow Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Poor Scott Steiner, didn't they even end up with him being the only member in the company and looking a bit sad? Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 21, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 21, 2022 I think Sting was still there doing his Joker thing, and for some reason they decided to try and stick Crimson with them? Joe was doing his "I fell asleep at a student party" biro face penis flgimmick. They copped out and hotshotted a Fourtune face turn instead didn't they? Stuck out some kind of cryptic "don't think you always know" video walking back the MEM stuff, and then that nonsense. Quote
RedRooster Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 This is probably pedantic as fuck, but the thing that annoys me the most when Tony Khan hypes a "big announcement" is that it's rarely actually an announcement, it's a new signing. And the signing isn't "announced", they just debut - meaning that nothing has been "announced". Quote

He didn’t seem sad to me, he looked like he was having a great time. By his calculations, they still outnumbered every other faction going. Quote

Why would a promoter say "I'm working on something at the moment but it's just ok, nothing special"? To appropriately manage expectations..? Or shouldn't he just say nothing if he knows it's not worth saying? Surely both of these things are equally important in managing PR. Quote

It’s the difference between “tune into the Pay Per View for a big announcement” and it turns out to be Kurt Angle, which makes your promotion look a big deal that delivers when it promises something big, or…. …. promoting a game-changing signee, when you’ve got AJ Styles having had a title run where he’s just won the belt from Kurt Angle and lost it to RVD, with great matches everywhere, but your new signee could just “walk in the door tomorrow, and just take the World Heavyweight title.” And it turns out to be Kennedy. Which makes your promotion look small time in the eyes of the fans AND in the eyes of the well-paid hype merchant who’s just declared the entire roster a good few rungs down the ladder from Kennedy. …….. Kennedy! Quote
Infinity Land Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 This is the segment. One of those things where written down transcribed seems like a MASSIVE HYPED ANNOUNCEMENT. Only you listen to it and it's like 20 minutes of your boss's boss taking questions from your team at the end of some presentation. Quote
