AEW Off-Topic

Re: AEW Off-Topic

This summer should be good for touring (hopefully). Going to places they weren't as able to the last 2 years.

I wonder if we'll also see some stadium shows too. Like how they had the Grand Slam one last year. Doesn't need to be a show infront of 70,000 fans, but even 20,000+ would be nice in smaller outdoor/retractable roof venues.

I'm sure this isn't the big announcement hyped for Dynamite this week, but with them announcing new dates, maybe peoples guess of a supershow might come true?

Have it at the Jags stadium, and get talent from AEW,NJPW and whoever else they can get like Impact,ROH(depending what their talent situation would be like) and so on.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Speaking of reports, there will be a big announcement on Dynamite this week.

Sounds like it will be

Spoiler

A non talent related announcement, Tony Khan is hyping it up as a big deal for wrestling/fans.

So naturally the internet has speculated on everything from TK buying ROH to some AEW/NJPW supercard

I'd love AEW buying up ROH. I'd rather see ROH being their NXT, and ditch the Dark/Elevation shows.

Looks like it's been leaked... this is a huge get for AEW if true.

Spoiler

AEW & HBO Max have agreed to a Streaming Deal. AEW gained the rights to an "International Pro Wrestling Promotion's Catalog."

If that's the huge announcement, thank god. I'm tired of having to go through other means to see their PPVs after they air because I'm not paying 40-50 bucks for a replay.

Replays are one thing, but if they are going to put their PPVs live on there I'm not a fan. I need those to actually be special.

Depends on what they want. To be different or to get people like me to watch them.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

So AEW and ROH streaming library will be on HBO Max.

That is great news for sure.

Crazy to see Peacock/NBC and HBO carrying wrestling on their streaming service. WWE,WCW,ECW,AEW,ROH all being on that and then some.

I wonder if the TNA video library will ever be for sale. I could see both WWE and AEW having interest in that.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

In last night’s presser, Tony Khan said they were still in the preliminary phases on plans for ROH, but it sounds like it’s going to be a developmental territory for AEW.

Also said he would do the booking for ROH, so that there was a cohesiveness between developmental and main roster, which he said was a major issue between WWE and NXT 1.0.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

He really doesn't need to book both. Let Regal have one or the other.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

I really wish he wouldn't book everything, but at least his style invites more input from the talent, so it's more of a collaboration than him writing and producing everything.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

If he’s got the time to book both then go for it, but it’s not necessary. Just make sure the person running ROH knows what the expectation is. Doing everything yourself is a horrible way to lead

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Just voted on the AEW Awards. Some of those categories were interesting. Breakout female of the year feels like one that they definitely want a specific outcome for. Jamie Hayter is clearly the best performer on the list, but that probably doesn't matter.

I noticed how the ballots were laid out. It seemed to me like they purposely listed the people they want to win in the first position on the ballot.

Another awesome Player’s Tribune article.

This one is from Sting.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Wrestling Observer reported that Matt Hardy has signed a contract extension. His contract coincides with Jeff’s, which makes total sense.
