I still don’t know what I watched last night. Are they trying to dare people to watch AEW?

It looks like there will be monthly PPVs until then: Double or Nothing in May, Fyter Fest in June, Fight for the Fallen in July, then presumably All In 2 in August/September

Is the target demographic for WWE basically just Vince at this point? This show has the weirdest loving presentation, and feels like its made for a hypothetical audience that doesn't actually exist. Like just even listening to the commentary, how the product is presented visually, I wonder who the hell this show is for.

Pretty much every non wrestling fan I've exposed to WWE through various Big 4 watch parties, etc, thinks the product is corny as hell, but are way more receptive to NXT/NJPW or indie clips that go viral. So it's like, not for casual non wrestling fans who are open to the idea of wrestling, and it's not for hardcore wrestling fans. Who is this goddamn show for? Who wants to hear Michael Cole sell gimmicks in the cheesiest way possible, while cartoon gunshot and wood creaking sound effects are playing, followed by Corey and Renee bickering about dumb bullshit???

If you are the kind of person who participates in wrestling anything for more than 5 hours a week you are not the target demographic, no.

At most I watch 2 hours of RAW and maybe an hour tops of anything that bubbles up in the MOTYC thread

They were called up last shakeup and did nothing. Now they're split up and one is leaving WWE I guess.

I think they're the absolute most mishandled NXT call up ever.

Besides all of the other ones

i mean he's got buttloads of money from WWE, why not enjoy it before years of taking sawz-alls to the head catches up to him

he probably doesn't need the money, but if the being upset with "hokey" stuff is true, i'd think he wants to work his craft in a more enjoyable setting. i don't imagine he'd do it for very long, but enough to have fun again

Dean can go to AEW but only after Foochs finds his remote to be able to change the channel from USA (to the Esquire network, where AEW will be airing Wednesdays at 2:30am)
