Re: AEW Off-Topic

I really wish they try one of the bigger arenas that WWE goes to, they can't keep touring and doing only the smaller venues. I now wonder where All Out will take place now. I highly doubt they can do Chicago.

They were doing the bigger arenas before the pandemic hit. Not every state is fully open yet so they're probably going to travel around Florida for a bit until they can safely leave Daily's Place.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Touring in July is nice. I wonder what their capacity will be like after Double or Nothing.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Avoid going North or West and they can have nice size crowds starting right now.

Here's news nobody was expecting.

Kurt Angle said Shaq texted him trying to get him to go to AEW.

Lol, Mets have a rookie who just made his debut, and his name is...Jake Hager!

Wrestling, mma, baseball, he can do it all.

Strange that they're moving to TBS. Apparently TBS is in more households though (upwards of 2 million more) but I always thought/viewed TNT as the more prestige channel than TBS. I guess not?

I wonder if its also less in the way with NBA being on TNT ?

Re: AEW Off-Topic

I thought AEW said they're staying on TNT? Guess not.

I always viewed TNT as the bigger network, mainly because of the NBA.

Seems like TBS is available in maybe 1m more households, but its fairly similar anyways. Guess we won't get AEW promotions during Inside the NBA anymore.

But I'd guess the move is because NHL is getting the Wednesday night TNT timeslot.


So AEW will have Dark, Dark Elevation AND Rampage? What's the difference between those 3 shows?

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Was under the impression that AEW wouldn't be moving timeslots, though admittedly I do not keep up with all of the extra stuff as much anymore, so not moving from TNT could've been said and just missed by me.

Excited for more TV programming for AEW. Been slightly down on the product as of late, but they still have a lot of good faith to burn so even if I'm not engaged with all of their storylines.

Not super thrilled with timeslotting for "Rampage" (or the name tbh, but I also was cold on Dynamite, so whatever) but could see working it into my schedule pretty easily.

Hoping Rampage is the step up from Elevation that a few teams/wrestlers deserve. AEW's got a lot of people under contract, and having 1 hour on TV to showcase a team like the Varsity Blonds without just jobbing them out to the Young Bucks is cool.

I certainly don't watch all that's available, but I am always down for more wrestling programming.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

So will Dark/Elevation just be Heat/Velocity, and Rampage will be comparable to Thunder?

We don't know anything about Rampage as far as I know.

Dark is just a taped house show with the Excalibur and Taz podcast over it(no shade, I love it)

Dark:Elevation is a taped house show, but featuring Dynamite talent, and the people who AEW consider "up-and-comers" meant to have a more professional production, but still just like House Show+

That was my thought as well, which would make sense given the NBA commitments and that Wednesday has been a featured night of NHL programming on NBCSN for a while.

Re: AEW Off-Topic

Reading Tony Khans interview, he says Rampage will be on the same level as Dynamite.

So guess its basically like if Smackdown pre brand extension was 1 hour vs Raws 2 hours.

AEW opening up beta testing signups for their GM mobile game.

http://aewgames.com/egmbeta

I signed up. Can't wait to test it out and play it. If its anywhere between the old SvR GM mode and Baseball Mogul, it would be so good.

I hope there's "offline" modes and it's not only GM mode with other users (like what EA Sports did with their GM Connected stuff for NHL), or a game like Supercard where you basically need to grind and play a lot to have fun.

I've had so much fun on GM modes of games in the past. I like just making trades and simming and seeing what happens. SvR GM mode was fun for that too. And you could just stop and go whenever you wanted and you won't be at a disadvantage (unlike most mobile games).

Such high expectations and potential here. They said the game is being released later this year, so I'd guess the beta happens in the summer.
