EJ! Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 might be unpopular, idk but man i really wish they chose a different day for their weekly show. i personally dont care for head to head shit with NXT and i would much rather be able to watch both shows on their own. this shit is gonna be lame switching back and forth, or not switching back and forth and getting things spoiled for me. Friday would have been fine, i know nobody is watching Impact on Thursdays but still AEW wouldnt be in their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Tbh it's not too hard to stay unspoiled. I always watch NXT the day after or later on hulu as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ! Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 well damn switch to Tuesdays then. hopefully ratings for one of the shows forces them to move it eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis LXXXV Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 You want them to get bad ratings as they start and forced to move day so you can feel pleased? I never get spoiled for NXT and I watch the replay later that night or next day. You're also forgetting NWA as we don't know what day they'll be on TV yet. Plus Impact is still being televised on whatever day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis LXXXV Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Still, if they move to Tuesdays or Thursdays then Impact or NWA would likely counter them on those days. Saturday may be the only available day to avoid everyone and I don't think they should try it right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Call it ignorance, but I dont see NWA having this big impact that some of you guys make it seem. Youre also forgetting NWA as we dont know what day theyll be on okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbot Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 NWA's long term impact? I have no idea, But I admit to rolling my eyes when TNA started. I'm rooting for any wrestling fed, we need more different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) NWA is going to come out of the gate as a better product than both RoH and Impact. I'm sure of it. Not knowing which network it will air on is a minor detail. We've already seen Corgan's vision of NWA at the Crockett Cup, which was almost a perfect show from start to finish, despite not exactly having the most "stacked" roster. If they could do that much with so little...while also sharing the spotlight with RoH and not even having their own proper stage...then, yeah...they're going to be bigger than people think. They have a solid list of champions, and they're signing the right people. It's going to be a unique product that can contend with the other big promotions. No doubt about it. The reason why I think NWA is going to be a better show than AEW, is because they only care about NWA. They aren't out to have a "war" with NXT, or WWE...or sell t-shirts, or run a comedy show on youtube. They only care about putting NWA back on the map. And if you care about something to the degree that I think Corgan cares about the legacy of the NWA, I have no doubt that he will accomplish that. It's tunnel vision. He wants to make that name mean something again. Whereas, I still don't think AEW knows exactly who or what they are.

Bushy. Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 You can have a better show than Impact & ROH and still not have as much buzz though. I still feel like it fills a niche. I dont seeing it being big like that but they can prove me wrong. I wouldnt be surprised if people think it doesnt even exist anymore.

Astro Zombie Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 NWA is doing studio tapings aren't they? I feel like that way of filming gonna be a shock to a lot of modern fans when they watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 You can have a better show than Impact & ROH and still not have as much buzz though. In the landscape of professional wrestling...buzz can be generated from one or two really good shows. I've seen it happen before. Now, more than ever...with social media and all that. I'd say there is limited "buzz" now, because they haven't done anything yet. But if they put out content that speaks for itself, that buzz can be generated overnight.

The Nerd Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Each AEW event gets worse and worse. Not saying All Out was horrible, overall it was ok imo. Not going to spoil anything of course. But each one after the first I've just felt kind of meh. I know they're a new company and stuff. But if you're going to keep taking digs at WWE and etc, I expect the talk to be backed up. They're not hitting out the parks as they've hyped themselves up this far. Still want them to succeed of course. But production wise and etc, AEW isn't making me want to abandon WWE. And whether they flat out said they want that or not, that's what they and everyone else has been hyping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I feel like the company is all over the place and alot isn't making sense. How does one girl have to win a battle royal to get a title shot and the other just win a match. Same with the world title, which shouldn't be a world title since its not been defended anywhere, but Page wins a battle royal and Jericho just beats Omega.

Well...The women's title was explained through the results of previous events. The World title because Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho are world class wrestlers and former World Champions in the two biggest companies of the world.

Lunchbox Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Yeah but wasn't the whole think about AEW was everyone started on the same playing field? Everyone was at the same level? Alot of last night had a TNA stink to it, overly complicated gimmick matches, rules being forgotten during a match and while not being very TNA having a sponsored match felt cheap.

LEGION Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 How would a wrestling company even work, if everyone started at the same playing field? They never said that. They only stated that in regards to payment when it comes to the different divisions. Ergo...Main Event Female Wrestler and Main Event Tag-Team and Main Event Male Wrestlers aren't discriminated against in pay. And what rules were ignored? And what complicated Gimmick matches were there besides the Casino Battle Royal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody blatantly using a chair in a regular match, despite a whole thing where he threw it away like 20 seconds earlier so he didn't get DQed? You mean the spot that has existed since forever in wrestling and has never resulted in a DQ? If your opponent holds an object or is dropped onto a object (stairs, apron, ringpost, announcer table, etc.) it's not seen as a attack on your end and never has. Same with managers accidently hitting their own clients in the head. This has always been the case in wrestling. If someone blatantly tries to cheat, the referee will always be more lax about someone getting retribution. And you can be sure that this is going to be a important plot point in the story going forward. And Arn Anderson wasn't at ringside either. He interfered behind the referee's back.

Lunchbox Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 What about the spot where Hebner took the belt from Spears saying he would DQ him just to grab another belt and whip Cody with it AS HEBNER watched. So far AEW hasn't impressed, i feel like again im watching WWE lite with shitty NJPW camera work. They have so much talent but the promotion right now seems all over the place.
