Re: AEW Discussion Thread

Cody saying AEW won't have scripted promos.

Will be interesting to see what that ends up like. Therrs a big difference between scripted promos vs talking points.

WWEs scripted promos are so strict, people have 0 idea what to do if they forget their lines or things go off track. Look at Rousey, Angle, or anyone else who isnt a regular. They all struggled at times because of that.

Even seeing Cena and the stuff he's done outside WWE, he's so much funnier in real life vs WWE. If that guy was the one we had in wwe, people would probably like him more.

Saying no scripted promos is like a talking point on a checklist for the internet fans.

I picture Cody holding a clipboard while saying it.

Which is the point. A new company, you need to create buzz however you can. It's up to them to actually deliver once the shows happen.

Can't wait for the first "We're giving (most recent WWE release) a LIVE MIC!" segment.

Don't know about a live mic in that sense. Can't imagine TNT would be happy about a guy going off at an extreme level.

Well, it would be a worked shoot anyway. No different than Jarrett’s return to WWF at the end of 97.

This isn't TNA lol. They aren't that desperate. And Tony Khan isn't going to turn it into that. He'll just shut it down before it reaches that point.

I've always preferred the worked shoot reverse doublecross myself.

It’s all about the off script worked shoot

To be fair, Jon Moxley with a open mic would be more interesting than the Dean Ambrose character.

Literally anything with a mic would be more interesting than Dean Ambrose.

Re: AEW Discussion Thread

So on my whole point about hoping AEW having exclusive contracts once TV starts, here's a perfect example of why I want that. AAA (a Mexican promotion that is working with AEW) is doing some TV tapings a couple weeks after Double or Nothing. One of those matches happens to be the Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks for the AAA tag titles. That will be a rematch from the Double or Nothing card. Now here lies the problem this match can be seen for on Twitch for free. So AAA is giving away the 2nd biggest on DoN for free like 2 weeks later.

So why should I even consider spending the $50/60 on the PPV when I can see one of their biggest matches for free 2 weeks later? How do I know I won't see Hangman show up one night in Dragon Gate to challenge Neville for the Dragon Gate title in a month or whatever?

Absolutely right. I wish they would just announce their own titles and get more exclusive rights contracts but I doubt they would get the same talent if they did that.

I understand why they like their own Elite talent working small shows because it creates a cult following, but it's too greasy promoter to me. Just get your talent, treat them like they are a big deal, and build your own brand.

I'm really excited to see their roster because it's chocked full of talent.

Since that interview with Stone Cold I've never looked at Ambrose the same.

Re: AEW Discussion Thread

Ambrose had some great promos early on in WWE with The Shield. Before he came to WWE his mic skills was one of the reasons he was hyped. But yeah, after awhile he sucked just like everyone else there.

Re: AEW Discussion Thread

Tony Khan had some interesting comments in an interview with Bleacher Report.


Tony on Current Goal:

Khan states later in the interview that his current focus is on making entry into the pay-per-view market and finding the wisest way to get AEW into the weekly DVR schedules of fans. “I’m not gonna go on Monday night or Friday night, and I would never go head-to-head with the NFL or pay for time on television,” he explains.

Not Touring:

"I’m not planning on doing hundreds of non-televised events on tour,” he adds. “Because I don’t think that would represent a large enough revenue stream for us and profitable enough business sector for us to risk the health and well-being of all these wrestlers. I’m not gonna have an offseason, but there will be a lighter schedule and we’ll work people in and out.”
