So.

Sunday - Bleacher Report Special
Is there anything on Monday?
Tuesday - AEW Dark
Wednesday - AEW Dynamite THE CROSSROADS
Sunday - REVOLUTION

The next 11 days will be pretty great.

The US Finals are Monday, I believe.

Evil Badman posted:

Ok, I missed the show, what is Dark: Elevation?

AEW Drow, is going to be an (presumed to be) Atlanta based Monday show called by The Giant and Tony Schiavone.

flatluigi posted:

monday will have the US final match, I think -- nyla vs the winner of riho/rosa

i wouldn't be surprised if they announce another match or two that show, though. maybe something sunday

I am hoping for Killer Queens vs. Shida, Veny, and Yuka.

Acclaimed were not in the casino battle royal graphic because Platinum Max is still qualifying for the ladder match (maybe).

the reason why is that it's a generic 'game' that gets licensed out to any brand. It's really cheap to buy a license and people seem to play just about all of them because each one has this baseline of about 2,000 users who continuously spend real money in them. it's a really strange logically impenetrable racket

Is there a thread in either Games or Poker is Totally Rigged about this phenomenon?

I think Sunday is the blowoff, the angle started at the last PPV and I can’t see them extending this particular angle past a PPV cycle, because it’s not like they have another Sting ready to debut and extend it past the natural blowoff point.

Weird Paul it is.

AEW going directly into mobile gaming is super weird and probably bad. But like, not a bad that is actionable, a soft bad that makes you go "huh? That seems like a weird decision that I do not feel good about."

maintain that the only way that match is good is if jade never tags shaq and beats cody and red velvet 2 on 1

Shaq has to do a move to Cody for the highlight reel, but I guess that can be post- or pre-match.

Shaq wants to call it in the ring according to Dave

Shaq has been ducking the coaches all week because he's got some sick spots planned and doesn't want them to tell him no in advance. He just watched some tape from Matt Sydal's brother that has got him thinking.

I don't like ziplines or rappelling because I always think of Owen :sigh:
this

I wasn't watching wrestling when Owen died, so when I see ziplines or rappelling in wrestling I think of a decade old zipline set up from one random tree in the forest to another at the ren faire. You apparently had to just climb a normal extension ladder to reach the top, and the set-up was so poo poo it kind of dragged in the middle and people would end up stuck like eight feet in the air above the stage, just kind of hanging there flopping. This was the same stage that (because it was outdoors) the stairs collapsed one day due to heavy rainfall and traffic resulting in me receiving a scar partially obscured by my eyebrow and also a microfracture in my ankle.

I also set fires using some sort of lighter fluid and gunpowder (these were separate things). Because ren faires are unsafe.

I'll have to watch this after the fact so I'm not having as much anxiety about where it'll show up but I will say the bleacher report website is actually really terrible and it's dumb as hell that there's seemingly no mention at all of the show at 7 anywhere on their main site. It's there under the Paul Wight news on the AEW page, and if you click the BR-Live button it brings you to BR Live where they are actually showing it, but considering the messaging on this has been "It's at Bleacher Report, not BR Live" for the past week it is pretty confusing. I'm sure it's just going to be up there at 7 though :shrug:

All of the tweets link to here: https://bleacherreport.com/all-elite-wrestling?_branch_match_id=830631370522561918.

So I think it also being on B/R Live is the thing that is loving this up messaging-wise.

The only reason NXT is on tv is to draw the AEW audience away so it’s fairly important if that’s happening

That is a fair argument actually, NXT getting pulled from AEW tanking duties either means some real weird poo poo is on tap, or the network has given up on supporting the wwf's endeavor. Though again the topics my brain is going to from there continue to be topics about the wwf and not how it effects AEW.

So does this actually raise AEW's average viewership if/when it happens?

I would assume the ban would prevent him from being allowed a work visa.

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:

Right, I know that’s why he was banned, I’m just curious if he could’ve been working on the paperwork to get one lined up once the ban ended, or if they wouldn’t even accept the paperwork until that point.

Actually, that is a weird angle. I would think since he has a specific date the ban is lifted if things were dated correctly it would be entirely possible to have everything all lined up correctly in advance, and the only issues becoming related to waiting out his ban to get them approved.
