Something I really enjoy about AEW is that it's really loving good. I think being that was a good business decision on their part, and they should stick with this innovative strategy going forward.

What a way to start a birthday weekend. e: gently caress it, we're staying up for the West Coast feed to rewatch the whole drat thing

rantmo posted:Not enough by a long shot, they sold out with multiple, massive lines waiting for them. What they should've done is had a "secret" URL ready to go where you could order them online after they sold out. Of course they're going to leak out online and people will buy them who weren't there, but holy hell those shirts would sell like hotcakes.

yea ok posted:https://twitter.com/voiceswrestling/status/1428927033439047686 When AEW started, I pretty much had to resolve myself to the fact that if AEW failed, like even if it stayed afloat but was stuck an Impact level of notoriety, it was time to give up on WWE ever having any significant competition in the United States in my lifetime. Everything that came together all at once: a guy with a ton of money that was also a turbo wrestling nerd looking to get in, at the same time as a group of guys in the Elite who had some mainstream buzz in the US but were still looking like "rebels" breaking loose from NJPW, at the same time as some WWE legends that were disgruntled enough to jump ship and maybe bring over some fans (Jericho, JR on commentary, and later Mox), and being able to score a good time slot on a big network, at the same time as WWE was in a huge rut in terms of creativity and fan approval...like this was literally a once-in-a-lifetime sequence of events coming together. It has just kept building since then, and it makes me very happy, because I love wrestling and it made me feel bad that I just couldn't enjoy WWE anymore.

Shard posted:my wife isn't into wrestling and had laid down before the show but came out when the show started to watch with me. She watches Dynamite and Rampage with me because she said she likes seeing me so happy My wife's the same. I took her to the show tonight and was kind of worried she wouldn't be into it because the one time I took her to a WWE PPV she was bored out of her mind. But tonight he was loving every moment and losing her god drat mind.

No shock and awe on the debut. Rather 15k people chanting CM Punk before Cult of Personality hits. And the roof still exploded in the biggest pop since the Attitude Era. e: Lid posted:AEW adjacent but Zack Ryder is good again

It's not that the pop was big and loud, it's how sustained it was, and how when he was leaving a big chunk of the crowd was singing "Cult of Personality"

When wrestling is fun and the crowd is into it, even people who don't give a poo poo about wrestling have a hell of a time. I took my wife and kids to WM34 and they were bored off of their rear end for most of it. But I took my wife to a random RAW back in the 90s when everyone was having a grand time and she was cheering and screaming "rear end in a top hat" at the McMahons with the best of them.

All I want for Punk vs Darby after the match is to get a beat down by 2.0 and Daniel Garcia. Then... "BOOM BOOM!" I just want to hear that pop and make up hug in Chicago.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Explain the sequence of events to someone not familiar with New Japan, please. Devitt turns on Taguchi to form the Bullet Club with the line up being him, Karl Anderson, Bad Luck Fale and Tama Tonga. When the Young Bucks and later AJ Styles join, the Bullet Club become a huge deal in America, even getting a deal with Hot Topic. By the time Kenny is the leader, the Bullet Club/Elite are a big enough deal to put on All In (which sold out really quick) which convinced Tony Khan that there’s a gap in the market for a new, big wrestling promotion
