AEW Dynamite/Collision/Rampage Thread

[Majingir]

Small aesthetic note, but I loved the orange ropes for Halloween.

WWE goes bland/white for all shows now and I hate it.

Coloured ropes make 0 difference to the show, but it just looks nicer, like if a basketball team has a cool court design. Doesn't impact the play in any way, but you like seeing it.

Orange Cassidy coming out and cutting a serious promo for the first time!

I hope that Adam Cole spot was a work (not the end of the match spot, but the one early on). If he gets injured again...maybe he should think about that infamous managerial role offer.

Hangman can literally go into every feud like "will I set your house on fire?" and everyone will believe he'll do it.

Glad to see Private Party finally win the tag titles.

Dynamite had 523K viewers on Wednesday. How far can the viewership fall?

Serious question. People wanted the Hurt Business back in WWE, they got mad when Triple H said he had no plans to bring it back. Now AEW is giving them the Hurt Business, and nobody is watching despite all this talk of how much they wanted to see the Hurt Business back.

Is this like a WWE only thing, like do fans only care about certain wrestlers if they are in WWE vs AEW? Like I'm aware the IWC is a small portion of fans but Moxley, Jericho, Danielson, Claudio, Mercedes, Edge and other big names have gone over there with no rating bump or attendance still low for tapings.

Then you got Cody where he was getting booed at the end of his run there, and now he's the biggest babyface in WWE. Would the same happen to Jericho where fans are saying they are tired of him, he needs to go away, etc but the second we hear "Break The Walls Down", fans will cheer him because he's back in WWE.

I think people just watch the shows now, it's not "I'm gonna watch ___ because ___ is on", it's "I'm gonna watch ___, I hope it's good."

It's like sports teams. You might have a fave player, but the second they go to another team, are you watching that other team? You might keep tabs or watch highlights, but you're probably not watching full on games.

And fans absolutely will cheer Jericho is he returned to WWE. Its a different company/bubble where good or bad you don't really carry the weight or momentum from elsewhere.

Perry chirping a fan in the crowd during collision.

Camera pans to the fan and its literally just Peter Griffin as the crowd starts chanting "PETER!PETER!PETER!"

I just think people are down on AEW in general, and bringing in talent isn't going to make a difference. The Hurt Syndicate being a thing people said they wanted doesn't change the fact that AEW television right now feels ice cold and lifeless. Why it's that way is another conversation.

Producing all these hours of weekly content has been a disaster for them. Feels like there's no direction, and no sense of who the top guys actually are. It's all a convoluted mess of a dozen title belts with no clear meaning to any of it. I look at the Full Gear card and I genuinely ask myself why that show even needs to happen. The It Factor is severely lacking.
