THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

XXXplosive said:
I'm curious to see what that rating will look like since AEW will not be on their traditional Wednesday night and historically show ratings take a hit when they're bumped to another night. Yet, Edge will be debuting on their show so that will provide a bump.

WWE is obviously stacking the NXT card in response.
While WWE doesn't consider AEW "competition" in the sense that AEW could ever take over the #1 wrestling company they are competition in terms of eyeballs for the one night.
Some may call it petty, but it's really just smart business.

I have no problem with it. Indeed it's business which is why TK should just run his show like he normally would and not worry about WWE.

To be fair AEW moved to Tuesday. WWE just responded to ensure they don't lose any viewers since Becky is hurt and probably won't wrestle.

Perceptions change, they still consider AEW a secondary promotion.

AEW did have a monster show in London, however, and athough they followed that up with shitty shows in the US, signing Edge is going to bring eyes to their product, especially on the special Tuesday edition of Nitr...Dynamite.

With AEWs failure to grow their TV audience, WWE smells blood in the water... hence stacking their regular Tuesday show.

Besides, WWE has been putting main roster talent in NXT for months now. This is just too good an opportunity to pass up.

I expect AEW to get destroyed rating wise. They typically struggle when they move Dynamite to a different night. Even with Edge making his debut, WWE will promote the fuck out of NXT on Smackdown, the weekend PPV and Monday Night Raw will do ridiculous numbers for NXT. Having Cena on the card alone would have given them an enormous "edge" (pun intended) already. Adding Cody. Asuka's match and Heyman....lolz it may do better than Raw, especially since Monday Night Football is back.

I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of this already. This move is only temporary.
 
^^^ that shucking and jive shit is cringe worthy in WWE when New Day does it. It's cringe worthy in AEW when that clown does it.

Why is this fool dancing like that such a big part of the show.

I really don't get it.

I've except a long time ago that the shucking and jiving characters ain't for us. They may look like us, but they ain't for us. That's why their dance moves and antics are always easy enough for Dwight to copy (poorly).

And at the end of the day, Dwight is buying the merc for Dwight Jr. to wear to school tomorrow and the money is all these companies really care about.

That era of Smackdown with Teddy Long and the Smackdown 6 was truly classic television.
 
Another fantastic Dynamite. There were some audio issues early on but despite that it was good. In regard to storylines and character development AEW has finally found its groove. Much to like right now.

A dark House Of Black style Skye Blue would be interesting because outside of showing off her ass Skye Blue is very bland. She needs to actually develop a character.

A lot of folks are speculating the same thing. I haven't caught a new Willow match since she had that eye to know if she's acting different. Would be cool to see them gradually turn.

Too soon to put the belt on Switchblade although I wouldn't mind it. I don't see MJF dropping the belt until next summer.

Don't know how long Cole is gonna be out from the ankle. MJF's run is too good to end right now. He's one of the most entertaining individuals in the business. He's up there with Kurt Angle with being able to pull off seriousness and comedy along with being very solid in the ring.

My co-worker thinks Cole's ankle injury is a work. We'll see.
