In the next few weeks they: - Dynamite 200 on Wednesday - Collision running opposite Summerslam on Saturday - All In on the 27th - Dynamite, Rampage and Collision from Chicago (where, you'd assume, they're going to do some CM Punk stuff) on August 30th and September 2nd - All Out on Sept 3rd - Grand Slam on Sept 20th And that's assuming that there's nothing big planned for any of the intermediary dates. Every one of those shows is something that deserves focus, big matches, and big "moments" in terms of storyline progression. I don't know how you begin to start booking any one of those without feeling like you're short-changing one of the others; on one hand you have the option to hold some things back for the next "big" show, but then for something like Wembley they shouldn't be in a position of holding anything back. There's just no room to breathe there is there? Even if big things do happen, there's no room there to take stock of it or whatever. They're forcing themselves to deliver far too regularly there. There's no way something isn't going to suffer along the way. Quote
Sheffbag Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 one of the take aways for me was after the Britt/Valkyrie match the camera cut to a person in the crowd with a "book the womens division better" sign and kept it on camera for a few seconds. Quote
Infinity Land Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 It's nice that the Elite have a presence on Dynamite 200, but my thoughts go to Hangman that's got nothing. Elite v. BCC all started with him & Moxley, he's felt like a spare part for the last few months. Quote

I'm not sure there's a wrestler out there who has a greater goosebumps-to-promo ratio than he does. He just makes you not only want to see his matches, but to see him succeed in them.

Infinity Land Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 For those Double J fans, be warned you may get sick of him. He's in the UK doing a promo tour for All In. Quote

Short build to All In of Hangman v Dark Order and then to close the show they have DO and Elite shake hands and hug and everyone goes home happy.... Quote

Except the people who paid for tickets. If Hangman and The Elite vs TDO was what they chose to do at their biggest ever PPV, I’d be utterly flabbergasted. Quote
Infinity Land Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Sports Illustrated reporting The Elite have resigned with the company. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 2, 2023 Paid Members Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) For second I read that as "resigned from the company" and had a minor heart attack. But thank God for that. I mean I'm not too fussed about the Bucks to be honest but Kenny and Omega are the main protagonists of AEW as far as I'm concerned. As a relatively new parent the fact that for the Bucks and Hangman a big reason they stayed with AEW is because the ywant to spend as much time as possible with their children really resonates with me. Good for them. Hopefully they all got big pay rises. Edited August 2, 2023 by LaGoosh Quote
DavidB6937 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Posted August 2, 2023 I'm not surprised really. AEW seems to fit far better what they want and need than what WWE can offer. And despite Cody's success, he was always a far different guy to what The Elite are. They were always going to see the potential move as riskier. Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Yeah Cody was always a wwe guy joining in, the others always sounded convincingly they had their own paths they are happy on. Now that’s sorted get them in Wembley matches! Quote
