I have a feeling that Adam Cole is going to be TNT Champion soon!!..He's more popular with the fans and I think AEW want a heel to have that title!!..
Didn't expect to see this. We could see her in the ring one day.
Title reigns aren't all that important to me, it's that AEW are doing little to nothing with the talent that they have. If I wanted to see talent wasted like this I would still watch WWE. Some guys you don't HAVE to have them on every week if you have compelling feuds/programs going for each guy.
I remember seeing reports that she was gonna debut a little while back.
I like Starks. He's charismatic and decent enough in the ring. He just needs to using the spear. I hate cruiser weight type guys using spears. Edge isn't a cruiser but he had the weakest looking spear of anyone.I am not a starks fan but I'm digging Hobbs and how hard he's working
I normally don't watch Dark but I will check out this match.

Although Jack is very talented in the ring he could never stay healthy and he's a horrible promo. Maybe he could catch on with Impact.
THT was their name. He tagged with Angelico from Lucha Underground. They dressed in green.Was he part of that tag team of white guys who dressed up as luchadors?
Then it's not a streaming deal. At least not yet. It's either the rumored Supershow with New Japan or he got ROH a TV deal.

Continuing to cater to the hardcore fans will not help AEW grow.
Sounds ironic but AEW is basically like Chump 45, keeping with their base while WWE is trying to cater to everyone who wants "entertainment," from casuals to older wrestling fans.
It ain't about YOU and what YOU like. It's about TV networks and whether they can draw eyes to their product. WWE regularly gets +1 million rating even with shitty shows.I never got this argument. You are what you are as a TV show. The X-Files, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game Of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Walking Dead, NEVER changed what they were as a TV show to appeal to casual viewers (channel flippers). Either you like government conspiracy/ UFO shows or you don't. Either you like crime drama shows are you don't. The same with law shows, hospital shows, cop shows, etc. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy and say why aren't you Game Of Thrones? You are what you are.
The same applies to a wrestling show. If I want to watch sports entertainment then I'll watch WWE. If I want to watch a serious sports based approach then I'll watch New Japan. If I want a hybrid of a lot of different things then I'll watch AEW/ROH. I remember when "The Wire" was on HBO. It didn't have good viewership in it's run but it's highly regarded as one of the best TV shows ever made. You should never sacrifice the integrity of your show to appeal to casual viewers.
The way you grow viewers is with consistency. Continue to put out a good to great show and the viewers will come. The show "Breaking Bad" didn't drastically grow its audience until the fourth season. It was good from the beginning but once word of mouth got around of how consistently good it was more people started to watch. Same with shows "Game Of Thrones" and The Sopranos".

Viewership for wrestling is down overall, however AEW isn't helping themselves build an audience outside off their hardcore fanbase. Even with the Punk and Danielson signings, they had a quick boost in ratings and it ended up dropping again.
There is only so many times TK can draw from the "Major Announcement well" before people stop caring.
At the end of the day, it's an entertainment show. And with the Time Warner/Discovery merger, AEW would probably be better off trying to grow an audience outside of their fanbase instead of just entertaining the smart marks.
