I think there is a strong chance they run an Austin show since it's fairly central to both San Antonio and Houston and it's a city the Rhodeses have a huge affinity for. Is the Frank still around or was it torn down already?

I feel like the Frank Erwin Center might be too big for AEW right now, its only 2K smaller than the Capitol One Center.

It's only a problem if you're bad at booking long term. It's a good, important thing for wins and losses to matter. It would be really dumb if I could beat Michael Nakazawa five times and be 5-0 and get a world title shot because of my W/L record alone. Of course the quality of wins would matter.

There's a part of me that wants someone to beat a bunch of Local Talent and build a huge win streak, only to be told they're poo poo wins so they don't get a title shot.

AKA the UCF gambit.

Yeah, W/L record mattering doesn't mean that 'Cody only has 47 wins compared to Mox's 48, therefore Cody never gets a title match ever again'. It means 'Darby Allin beat 3 top guys in the last month, maybe this puts him in line for a shot at the champ'.

MJF brings in Scott Putski and Barry Darsow to pad out his wins.

Omega interference to move along the Mox feud

This has got to be a given, and if it leads to a loss for Mox at least that explains his absence from the title picture for a bit longer.

quote:

Japanese bandAural Vampireproduced a song called "The Repoman" and use video footage of Darsow and other wrestlers in live performances. FormerRing of Honor performer Adam Pearceis often heckled by fans who call him "Repo Man" because he looks similar to Darsow. At one match in 2007, at the pay-per-view taping forDriven, againstTakeshi Morishima, Pearce pulled a mask similar to the Repo Man's out of his tights and put it on to the delight of the crowd.

I would love it if they spent six months giving a pay check to every indy jobber and retired wrestler to pad MJF's win/loss record. Give Jake the Sanem a pile of Khanbucks to take a single punch and a pin one week. Have MJF claim a "count out" victory over Rowdy Roddy Piper the next week.

It's amazing to see how WWE's booking has left everyone brokebrained. Shawn Spears can deal with a loss to Mox if he puts on a competitive showing like Sammy Guevara or Nyla Rose. Everyone complains about WWE's 50/50 booking and then turns around and starts acting like the exact same things are needed in AEW.

I honestly doubt that match starts and if it does start Shawn absolutely should lose or win by a DQ because Omega runs in. The world needs jobbers. You keep Shawn looking good by having him look competitive in the match.

Pretty much this. Shawn has said himself he doesn't care if he "wins" in a worked sport, he cares about looking credible to the audience.

Edit: He also has the potential to be a King of AEW DARK.

I think that Spears is going to end up being a strong midcard player once things shake out. No way would you bring Tully in for a manager spot with a jobber.

That BTE video was great and I love them calling out Page to set up the angle for the tag match. Especially with his response "I didn't know - I was in the main locker room not the special EVP one".

Also, the behind the scenes of the entrances and the pop for Dustin's run-in was really cool to see :3:

I loved the behind the scenes stuff too! I liked how pumped up Omega was watching the Women's title match.

Glad with Dark I have something to look forward to on Tuesdays now.

from their website:

"Will TSN Direct provide the same programming as TSN airs on television?

TSN Direct provides the same programming youd watch on TSN with a cable subscription. Youll have access to TSNs five feeds, as well as exclusive bonus streams, and on demand content."

Sounds like it's the feeds of the channels.

Butt first, let's

Jimmy Havoc's like the one guy who really has negative drawing power for me with AEW. I'm just not into the idea of that match or him getting a title shot at all (easy defense of course, but still, not one I care to watch).

it should be The Energetic Monsters because all i can think of when i look at their gear are cans of Monster Energy Drink

which is a perfect gimmick for the two of them, really, there just need to be vignettes of them doing motocross and poo poo

Marq Quen owns so loving hard. The fact he starts every match with his shades on and wrestles in them, hitting as many moves as he can before he loses them...I absolutely think he is the truth (not that one).

Absolutely love him. Future star.

Agreed. Is the problem that everyone has only seen him in MLW where everybody is incredibly boring? Or am I just in the minority on this one?
