AEW officially on TNT starting later this year.

Good. Can't possibly be worse than the WWE main roster. Hell, just basic competence would make it about a hundred times better.

Excellent. So its also going to be on prime time and Bleacher Report for streaming.

They're apparently aiming for 400k to start but obviously want growth, if they're on prime time they'll get a lot more then that (i'd imagine TNA on Spike Numbers, which is respectable).

They seem to have the right approach (build their own guys up, have a few made guys), if they get Moxley they're in business.

Now with the TV deal secure, now we will see movement from talent, i think a few are going to request releases.

Seriously though, Ted Turner has been planning this revenge plot for the last 20 years after they killed his baby.

What night is it gonna be on? Guessing Wednesdays. Monday and Friday (when smackdown moves) are wwe, Thursday is NBA, sometimes Tuesday is NBA. Wednesday seems like the most logical play

I hope they are ballsy enough to go Monday. A new Monday night war would be awesome.

Maybe the end game should be a head to head Monday situation but off the bat they need to get as many eyes on the product as possible. I think Thursday is their best bet.

Yeah, you're not wrong. But man, Raw is about as vulnerable right now as it's ever going to be (well, I guess it could continue to get worse). If I had to choose whether to watch Raw or AEW on Monday night, I'd pick AEW ten times out of ten without even thinking about it or knowing if AEW is gonna be good. Because there's no way it's gonna be worse than the three hour death march that is WWE Raw.

If they wait, there's a chance the competition forces WWE to get their sh*t together.

Sounds like Tuesday, we'll see though.

I (and probably most wrestling fans) have become spoiled from the WWE Network price, the Double or Nothing PPV card is not worth $50.

Spens1 · Post #151 » by **Spens1** » Mon May 20, 2019 12:21 am

PAC out of double or nothing due to complications with his situation with dragon gate and him being champ (therefore, meaning he can't really lose clean) and he won't be back until then.

Honestly, its a bad look for the company and really, he shouldn't be losing to hangman page in the first place (PAC could be an upper-mid carder/borderline main eventer, Page ain't there yet, he's still a firm midcarder in a good promotion).

Bunch of mixed stories but it appears the issue wasn't with the Page match, Pac was always going to go over there. The problem was with Pac's next program which was going to be with Omega. Dragon Gate didn't want Pac taking an L to Omega and AEW didn't want to feed Page to Pac with no payoff.

Ok fair enough then. But with PAC as the dream gate champ i get why Dragon Gate don't want him losing (and AEW thought PAC would have dropped by now, though i suspect he'll drop the title at Kobe World within the month anyway).

Yeah. Others are now convinced that it's a work due to AEW wanting Page to face a newly signed mystery star. Should be a fun night on Saturday.

Neville seems like a major headcase almost like Austin Aries they're their own worst enemy

I've always liked him because he always wrestles with a ton of energy. He's not the best worker out there, but he gives effort every time. It's crazy that WWE couldn't make him into a solid mid-carder. He was over with the crowd, has a good look, and is solid in the ring. That's a mid-card guy at minimum, or at least it would be in any company other than WWE.
