It's definitely a concern but I think they can work around it by having a serious side and a goofy side to the Dark Order. Shawn would be a good addition to the serious side. You could even work his troop gimmick into it by making a story about how he struggled on his own and felt like he needed to be part of an organization again in order to succeed.

I'd be super down with Dean as the Dark Order equivalent to Ishimori in Bullet Club.

Man, I liked Ivelisse back in LU and I was hoping that she'd turn a new leaf, but I guess I should've never doubted Jack Evans.

Anyway, I think it’s real interesting that they’re putting Brandi vs. Anna Jay on the post-NBA showcase show. It does let them highlight one of the hotter angles they’ve got going, but it’s a lot of trust to put in someone who’s had a baker’s dozen worth of matches and someone who’s not necessarily someone who can carry an inexperienced wrestler.

The Thursday episode is pre taped right? So hopefully that's a good sign for how the match went.

tbh in my case it was less giving Ivelisse the benefit of the doubt and more assuming that an actual professional, tight-knit lockerroom would act as a deterrent.

It's a shame the rest of the AEW lockerroom seem very professional because it would be funny to see somebody sell for Ivelisse the same way HBK sold for Hogan in their infamous Summerslam match.

It does and at this point competing with NXT on any level is a waste of time. They should aim for beating RAW, they might be already I have no idea if they aren't now they'll be beating them soon. NXT is irrelevant to wrestling it's a parking lot for contracts.

They aren't aiming for "beating" anybody, nor should they be.

She can have them melted together so they’re double sided.

Honestly I’ll be real bummed if Diamanté ends up collateral damage to Ivelisse. I think she could be a fun long term piece of the division.

This is forecasting out multiple years, but I'm curious.

If AEW keeps its ratings consistent, as in, it's in the top 5-10 for cable most week, sometimes they pull a really good 18-34, etc., do they get a significant raise when their deal is up?

The answer probably has a lot more to do with WWE's next deal than I'd like to think about.

Probably depends what cable even looks like then. I can see a world where if they have multiple offers they for sure get more money from WarnerMedia, but I can also see them also producing content for HBO Max if things keep going well.

Pretty sure they already had that on their first deal, but I think they weirdly didn't on the second.

That’s the old deal, I believe the new deal is straight cash, although was functionally a raise because they’re getting more than TNT was paying for production.

i wonder if they'd try to do something with Twitch for the second show maybe

all the infrastructure to monetize is there, and there's tons of interplay there with the talent, and twitch can cut them a check for a show. i'd be curious to see how it'd do

Ah, well then, I'm gonna guess the collapse of society has helped them as just setting up camp currently indefinitely in a venue also owned by the same parent company is probably a great reduction of cost, and therefore even more of a financial boon. And now they've started selling at least some tickets

Edit: I don't think amazon would care to cut a check for more wrestling on their platform, plenty of it already exists, Impact and AAA already run 24 hour streams and occasionally full on specials.

Eh, the deal gave an immediate increase to their budget, which let them sign some people and it's made the relationship with Warner stronger.

More or less. Fightful unlocked the post so I’ll just paste it:
Edit: Turns out I don’t know what I Unlocked means in the context of Patreon.

The big thing that stood out to me was that everyone who talked to Sapp talked to sided with Rosa and were surprised the tag match wasn’t called off for next week.

I can post the full article if nobody gives a poo poo but the tl;dr is that Thunder Rosa is taking on a leadership role for the division behind the scenes and Ivelisse is pissed about that so started to no-sell some of Rosa's stuff during the match, so Rosa just started working stiffer.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
