I Before E posted:The problem is less getting the audience to buy in to having a bunch of matches, it's that when you have one show a week, what takes a month maybe in New Japan turns into two months at the very least over weekly Dynamites. Which I think they could convince people to be into and want to watch, a tournament split over the weekly tv show for a couple months, but it's going to be a long time until they can.

That's pretty loving wild for a show that started at 20 minutes to one in the morning. That basketball lead-in must be nuts.

585k for a show that started at half past midnight on the wrong night? With a regular Dynamite tonight? For a show headlined by Shawn Spears vs Matt Sydal? Yeah, I'd feel more than fine about it.

I don't think even New Japan could get people to buy into a two month long G1, people are exhausted enough of following it at the end of one month. You have to pace a league a certain way to keep people interested, and weekly tv is just not suited to that pace.

To put this into perspective, at 12:30am AEW did better demo numbers than NXT does. Even when NXT was unopposed this month lmao

Paper Lion posted:you said in the post i quoted "there would be fewer meaningless matches", which implies there are currently an amount of matches that are meaningless that there could then be fewer of by replacing them with round robin matches in a tournament. and just because a match is a squash or not directly for a title or something doesn't mean they don't have stakes, they're used to further some aspect of things like showing us kenny and hangman starting to degrade as a team rather than just telling us, or just the other week when the lucha bros lost and eddie kingston had to come out and rally his faction. anna jay vs abadon was a match with no stakes, and yet look at the trajectory of the two people in it since, started purely from booking that match onto the main show. literally everything is done for a reason and they still don't have time for all the stuff they clearly want to do on top of it all. I'm not gonna argue this because semantic arguments are exhausting so you're free to infer whatever you want regardless of me never actually saying anything was meaningless.

Kingston, hopefully. not to be a dick, but there's little to no chance that he'd win the title, so may as well burn that storyline when they need a quick title shot. e: hot drat this thread moves quick. that match will rip and it'll be STIFF

Counterpoint, they can do Penta shenanigans and still have Eddie lose but build a looming war between Mox and Eddie's group for whenever there needs to be a random title match like this. Just a group of guys ready to gently caress with Mox whenever it's convenient for them.

Just a group of guys ready to gently caress with Mox whenever it's convenient for them. either way, we're gonna be gettin' one hell of a promo tonight. A friend of mine who does not give a single poo poo about wrestling (other than asking "does Asuka still have the title? good. I love her cooking show" or "is the creepy girl who spits blood on TV yet? no? bullshit!") has gotten invested in Best Friends and OC and has been watching BTE. After Kingston's cookie promo, she's decided that she's a huge fan of his- especially since "I can see him in action, but I don't need to watch any wrestling!"
