Good for AEW. I'm curious to see how their TV attendance goes. They're milking a very dedicated and very mobilized fan base at the moment.
|
It's super hot because there's not alot of it and the average wrestling fan in their 30s has been craving something other than the spread-too-thin wwe product, or not readily available ROH for a while.
|
Based on some Steiner Math to account for shenanigans involving ticket sales, Observer reported that AEW was on pace to sell 130,000 tickets for All Out had all the purchases and demand been genuine.

Thats some janky janky math

Picture a scene. We're in a well-lit, spacious office. In walks Cody Rhodes, he looks over to his answering machine as he enteres changing direction when he sees the blinking red light. He pushes the button.
'You have... seventy-three... new messages' Cody presses the delete all button and leaves the room to go play Nintendo. |
One of those was from CM Punk.
Oh no! |

People's problems w/ WWE aren't that it is spread too thin, their problems are that it's bad tv and specifically a bad wrestling product overall. Less of WWE doesn't indicate that would change. ROH hasn't been in the big picture for most wrestling fans for a long-time, even when Cody and company were there. |
People have been craving a good product, period, available on a national/global level.
I hope AEW can fill that void and thus far, their first show was good. |

Cody stops long enough to wordlessly gives the universal look/head nod of "yeah yeah you were right..." and then continues with his Nintendo. |
Nigel's reign was the last time ROH felt like ROH. The last time it felt special. It slowly became just another indy fed after that.

NXT and the actual WWE main-roster product are very different from one another. If anything a good comparison for AEW would be hoping to combine the long-form storytelling of New Japan w/ the in-ring action of New Japan/NXT Takeover. |
I think AEW will really be it's own thing, I don't think it will go the TNA route of mentioning WWE much as it gets up and running and finds itself. I think they'll focus on finding their own Flair/Luger/Sting/etc over time.
That said, I do agree with you 100% on WWE over-saturating their own market. |

Does anybody else think it's kind of funny Mox is working CJ Parker and Big Cass with Enzo out of the gate. These are guys who would have been far beneath him in WWE. That whole he would have left even if there was no AEW is B.S. Nobody is turning down multiple millions for Juice Robinson and Cazz matches.
|
Not sure about Cazz but they should be turning down money to wrestle Juice.
|
Yeah, Juice fucking rules.
And I say that as someone who absolutely despised C.J. Parker. |
I liked his heel gimmick that Daniel Bryan took for his own.

|
guess mox respected cas to have his 1st indy match with him they might have got along in wwe.
|
His first indy match was with Darby Allin this past Friday
|
Juice has earned his stripes.

Tony Khan confirms they will hold a tag tournament once they're on TNT, presumably to crown the inaugural tag champs.

Well it might be 4 titles but I'm not entirely sure they'll have a midcard singles one for a while. Khan said he wanted to eventually introduce women's tag belts, and given how many women they've signed along with their pipeline into the joshi world, I think they could actually have a killer division that would get attention.
So maybe it'll be a men's title, a women's title, and tag titles for each. And that's it. People not in title programs will feud over other stuff. |

I would prefer no middle division title to be honest.
There's not a middle division title in Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, etc. |

LeBron thinks he just won the NBA tag team titles though.
|
Titles/Championships whatever
|
There are conference/league champs in those sports.....
|
Thats not exactly a 1:1
|
Would probably work better with individual awards like MVP and such. In that case they do have midcard type awards like the 6th Man of the Year.

Winning the NBA title is more on par with main eventing wrestle mania
|
I feel like mid-card titles are sort of 'the past'
Everyone should be gunning for top dog spot and maybe gets sidetracked w/ other feuds set up via circumstance/interaction...Just seems like it would be copying what is done before to follow the standard world champ, mid card champ formula...wanting something fresh/different....idk |
Really h8 that NXT added N American Title...their roster isn't big enough to support that IMO
Everyone should want to be NXT champ |
