TNT: “We’re back in the Wrestling business!”

[Jmare007]

Hopefully the tone of the show is different from BTE. I'm not really impressed by a lot of their hires, but I'm willing to give it a chance because there is finally an alternative out there. Hopefully, the presentation and feel of the show is different from what we've seen in wrestling. BTE veers too much into corny, white humor for my liking, but the stuff they post on the Nightmare Family channel has been very good.

Breh, you keep pushing this idea like AEW has to cater to fans like us, they really don't.

We're all in agreement that Joey Ryan and his dikk Army gotta head for the bushes though, right?

they're trying to present it as a sport so idk how he'd fit in

 

[hayesc0]

Does anybody know who the announcers are?

Hoping for Matt Stryker and Vampiro

Vampiro is sick and one will be JR for sure don't know the other.

Tony Khan said sport, the wrestler exec vps said “creative freedom”

Why?

The BTE/reddit/Twitter/meme culture they cater to sells out buildings for them and are loyal as fukk. They are also, largely, younger than us. It would be a dumb mistake to go against of what's been working for them just for the sake of bringing in an audience that doesn't connect or "get" with what they are comfortable doing and booking.

At least let them establish their product first before you ask them to cater to a wider audience.

If we find it too corny, or "too indy", "too flippy", or whatever it doesn't really make a dent in their business right now. And it really boggles my mind so many folks are so demanding with what AEW "should be".

If I’m the Khan’s, I’m giving Cena a BLANK check

Nah.

I'm not watching if cena is there.

Most fans are tryna get away from the Cena style era

 

[jadillac]

If theres No ped testing and blood occasionally allowed, this will put wwe out of biz.

Vonce will be back on tv again talking about how he wont insult our intelligence anymore

Very little “casual fans” will give non WWE wrestling a chance. Their hardcore friends will have to be super excited and served, then share the good news

But the BTE fanbase are those hardcore friends They are just as niche as us, but they actually spend money and make a difference, we don't. Look at how little difference we've made the few times decisions catered to us, we are very fukking fickle. So alienating their core audience by taking away the "super indy" feel they have just so older, "we are tired of WWE" fans will think their product is great is not worth it at all, imo. Besides, most of that disgruntled fanbase will give it a chance regardless.

I mean, of course I would love for AEW to be an awesome wrestling show that gives me what I want about wrestling. But nothing they've shown so far leads me to believe that. And given how successful they've already been, why the hell would I expect them to change things up?

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Baron Corbin

They can keep him then

 

[The Rainmaker]

Meanwhile at Titan Towers... "Ahh, those dummies don't scare me..."

 

[Bonefan32]

I was thinking

They should let brian pillman jr be the first match
Like his dad vs liger

that's a good call, that needs to happen

 

[Kingshango]

I await the return of the limo's
