They have to because I think pretty much all the roster and VPs will be there.

Newest member of AEW roster, Jazz.

I always felt she was one of the underappreciated women during the RA era. Sure she didn't last so long, but I'd put her in the same category as Victoria,Molly,Mickie and so on.

Would TNT want a taped show though? Or might they make the taped cruise show a free ppv?

That'll be a nonstop spotfest obviously lol. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Shawn Spears vs Jon Moxley announced for the Oct 8 TNT show.

I'm wondering how these shows are going to be booked each week. Are we going to have a show full of big matches every week? I guess in 2019 you have to.

Especially early on they have to.

But I wonder if AEW is gonna be a show simply focusing on wrestling.

The part I used to love about wwe so much was all the characters and storylines. Raw every week would end in some segment which had a big moment and cliffhanger.

I guess AEW will focus more on the matchups and wrestling over the storylines and promos?

So Jericho's going to work the opening night against Elite then he's defending the belt week 3 against an unnamed challenger.

*Note I fully expect AEW to stupidly put the belt on Hangman because of everyone saying it's going to be Jericho.

But then what happens to the ratings on the shows where they don't have a PPV main event level match (or matches)? This is one of the reasons why pretty much no one on WWE feels special. People see them wrestle every single week. And AEW is the same as WWE in that their live weekly TV shows are the priority over PPVs.

Maybe I'll just stick with NJPW and the indies lol. Idk.
