re: AEW All In: Texas Thread

quote:Everyone in this thread is a wrestling fan. If AEW was putting out a show worth $50 his be seeing a split much closer to the middle. They are not and your statement paints you as an über AEW mark.
Show on NBC draws more interest than $50 show? With a Goldberg retirement match? No shite.
quote:WHAT? I give Tony credit for ending the delusions of an unsafe worker and sticking with the girl on the Nia Jax diet but that whole storyline reminds me of something you'd see in Japan during the territory days. You have to do much better than "put on a good ppv" to bring people to your product. Back to my first point, if you don't give people something to pay attention to on your TV, your buy rate is going to be in the toilet.
AEW has better wrestling and storylines at the moment. WWE is still the beast but they’re falling off after TKO and AEW just put on a good PPV.
quote:And this is where you lose all credibility. There is NO CONNECTION between running SNME tonight vs a standard untelevised house show. I'll go one further before you try to dispute it. The injury occurred on a move that is not barred on house shows!
WWE trying to counter tonight led to their top star going down and Goldberg being sent off in the most awkward way possible. Is that winning?
And let's not forget, Tony wanted to be done long before there was a conflict. Instead it overlapped and as a result his ME got buried on social media. It got buried even further when Seth went down.
AEW is a niche company. If you like it, good for you. But there's a reason TKO spent Billions for WWE. People prefer it and it is quite accessible through forward looking deals. Things like three big events over 36 hours on Peacock/Netflix where it doesn't cost fan or non-fans anything more than the cost for streaming providers that most already have. Tony has acknowledged this by putting the MAX streaming in their newest TWD deal.

quote:And the end of Night 2 ran circles around both of them combined.
The ending of All In ran circles around the ending of Mania. WWE’s decline started with Travis Scott coming out instead of Dwayne.
Edit: Night 1

I think they ended up stretching Goldberg's match out, stuff like spear through barricade, son getting involved.

Was there live. It was a really good show that could (should?) have been an amazing show due to self inflicted mistakes. So normal AEW. The crowd was flat at times cause 6 hours is ridiculous. And not in a good way.
They had 2 whole merch lines for 25k people. A lot of people didn’t bother and the ones that did had an amusement park line experience getting there.
Top tier action in the ring kept the crowd in it; but again 6 hours is a complete joke.
I’m still a happy camper. Easily money well spent. Just could have had even more juice to it with better decision making.

I laughed, I cried, I was confused, I was tired, I was elated, I was mad, I was sports entertained. Not AEW's best PPV and it was way too long, but I had a great time watching it.

Family and I were there last night. Of course it was too long. My kids got tired and wanted to leave after the Bucks match. But my son’s favorite wrestler is Darby and he HATES Moxley with a passion. I’ve been watching wrestling long enough I knew what was gonna be going down in the main event. I told them we couldn’t leave. Great decision. On the way back to the hotel he says it was the best day of his life. All worth it. 100% will go again anytime they’re near.

I sat in the Superdome 8 hours for WM34, and that's a day after sitting through 5 hours of the ROH show. Wrestling fans are getting soft.

6 hours is ridiculous.
quote:Count me in that number ... 2-2:30 for a weekly show and anywhere from 3-4 for a monthly big show is the sweet spot, imo. Add another 30-1:00 for the live audience for matches for Main Event/Speed and post-show non-TV shenanigans.

quote:Agreed. I actually like the taping of Main Event before. Two matches with one usually people who did in catering during the live event and tryout matches for the NXT mid-card. RAW in Rosemont with the Dwayne-Cody bloody belt angle was 3.5 hours from first match to Samantha saying good night to everyone. It works for those at the event but I couldn't sit and watch 3.5 hours of it from home.

You are right about fans getting soft. I was in the building the night Nailz attacked Vince. I had previously been at TME when Hogan & Savage broke up so I was shocked when I looked back and didn't see Vince at the commentary desk. IIRC it was around 4 hours, the whole Doink-Crush build happened throughout the night, and HBK wrestled 5 times in 5 different pairs of tights. It was the second taping with the Steiners and Yoko was still getting built up too.

I'll be shocked if we don't see a Mariah Ma.... err Blake Monroe heel turn/joining FI tonight.

I don't know what the FA is but Blake Monroe on my TV is always a good thing, even when she's doing the finger in the mouth thing that y'all hate.

What time this show start tonight????

Love the outfit on desk chick. She needs to shake a bit more.
