Counting Lights Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I still think it's hilarious how much they've used the fake Jericho in promo videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Name is fine. Promotional material is...meh. I could do without the colorful powder. Would prefer something that looks gritty...not something that looks like an EDM festival. They could have put out a poster with Cody smoking a cigar, Kenny pointing a finger gun, Hangman holding a noose, Mox breaking prison shackles...all while Jericho is front and center, lighting a stick of dynamite with a big grin...thrown in a catchy tagline along the lines of "the outlaws are back"...etc. Instead...the colorful presentation comes off as overwhelmingly generic.

EJ! Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 i actually really rock with those posters. they remind me of the promotional material for Rage 2 which was cool even if that game smelled like beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 It's just an aesthetic that is used for too many things. The fact that it was also used for Rage 2 kinda speaks more to that point. There's no real "identity" there. You should have a more definitive identity if you're rolling out a brand new wrestling promotion. The posters don't look "bad" by any means...they're pleasing to the eye. But they don't give you a lick of information about the company. It could just as easily have the Impact roster on it and look exactly the same.

X-zero Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Odd Hangman Page didn't make it on the poster when he was almost the 1st world champion. Wonder is that a hint at the first AEW women's champion as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ! Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 i hope they turn the theme music up during entrances. i watched TNA damn near since the beginning and can maybe only identify like 6 or 7 themes (AJ, Angle, Joe, Christian, Machismo Lethal, Abyss, and idk Team Canada?) and i dont want that happening here. right now the only themes i know are Jericho, Cody, the Bucks, and maybe MJF, and i guess the Lucha Bros. turn that shit up.

LEGION Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Best Friends is the most recognizable theme in AEW. Followed by Hangman Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Dynamite is going to air on ITV4 at 8am on Sunday *censored*ing mornings. They were way too eager to say their UK deal was better than WWE. Terrible idea, there is no way ITV will air TV-14 at 8am on sundays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Best Friends is the most recognizable theme in AEW. Followed by Hangman Page if you gave me three songs and told me to tell you which one was Best Friends theme, i couldnt even give you a good guess. same goes for Hangman. i love hearing pops as soon as music hits instead of after the persons name comes up on the titantron, unless its a debut.

LEGION Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Then you just haven't watched the shows, tbh. Especially the Best Friend's theme is tuned up to a ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 wait a minute i thought that was MJFs theme. so what the hell is MJFs theme? just listened to MJFs theme. yeah i recognize em both. so add Best Friends to my short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I can't remember any of their themes either tbh, they are very quiet. I know Hangman has some sort of western score, but I couldn't hum you the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Im not blaming anyone, I was just making an observation. Even people who have attended the shows have made the same observation. Its a general consensus. Themes being quiet and not paying 100% attention, 100% of the time are not mutually exclusive. Both things can be true, and they are in this case. As for their themes being memorable, most of them arent. But they have only had 4 shows.
