The rumor is as apart of AEW's new rights deal WBD executives want AEW to expand their ppv schedule. So right now they have ...
Revolution
Double Or Nothing
Forbidden Door
All Out
Full Gear
I would make "All In" an annual ppv in London.
Turn "Blood And Guts" into a ppv. Stop giving away this shit on cable TV.
Bring back "Stadium Stampede" and turn that into a ppv.
Also if I'm TK I want that HBO Max streaming deal as apart of the new rights package.

My Top 10 for 2023 thus far.
1. Tam Nakano (Won both the red and white belt in Stardom the highest level of women's professional wrestling.)
2. Athena (Has had an incredible run as the ROH Women's Champion. Has put the entire division on her back.)
3. Giulia (Became a Trios champion in Stardom and recently defeated Willow to become the NJPW Strong Women's Champion.)
4. Mina Shirakawa (Won the white belt earlier this year, dropped it to Tam Nakano and is now a Tag Champion with Mariah May.)
5. Rhea Ripley (Defeated Charlotte Flair to become the SmackDown Women's Champion now known as the Women's World Championship and has had a few successful title defenses.)
6. Willow Nightingale (Became the 1st ever NJPW Strong Women's Champion by defeating Mercedes Moné and in general has had the run of her career.)
7. Jamie Hayter (Decent run as AEW women's champion with multiple title defenses until she got hurt)
8. Asuka (Defeated Bianca Belair to become the Raw Women's Champion now known as the WWE Women's Championship. Has only had one weak title defense since then.)
9. Mayu Iwatani (Defeated Mercedes Moné to be the IWGP Women's Champion but hasn't defended it once since.)
10. Mercedes Moné (Was having a good run until she got hurt.)

I’m actually watching Dynamite tonight (hell froze over) and man, WTF are they doing to MJF?
All the talk about him being ruined if he ever went to WWE and here he is on AEW doing these corny unfunny skits with Adam Cole? He’s such a talented promo and they have him in an over produced segment at a bar and playing video games.
He may need to follow Cody to get some of his shine back. Even Orange Cassidy is looking better onscreen at the moment.

Too much if you ask me. The kid has potential, but I wouldn't have given him all that offense.
KOOOOOOOOOOOTAAA IIIBUUUSHHHI!
I don’t understand why they positioned this kid to have such a competitive match with Swerve. It did Swerve no favors.
They've been hyping this kid up for awhile now so I understand why they didn't want to squash him in his debut match but you also don't give him all that offense. It definitely made Swerve look weak. The kid is good but he isn't that good to where he's trading near falls with Swerve. That's dumb.
Yep, I agree with you on this Brother!!...Blood and Guts and The Stadium Stampede should be ppv!!..
TK needs to look into that!!
Agreed. I also didn’t like that they put Scarlett over Bayley.
This guy looks like the kid that bags my groceries. WTF. He should not be on national TV until he puts on at LEAST 20 more pounds.
He looked like a generic indie wrestler pulling off the same indie wrestling moves and being saved by a wrestling veteran.
For an 18 year old kid, yes, he looked impressive, but whomever thought it was a good idea to give him a main event spot and so much time on AEWs top show, getting as much offense against a guy like Swerve, is a fucking idiot.
Brb
This was a horrible sell job by Nick Wayne last night. You can't just pop up immediately after a top rope powerbomb. You got to sell that like you died. Also THAT should've been the finish. Whomever structured this match doesn't know what he's doing.
It's a good thing we're in the wrestling thread because if we weren't....
Meh, why would I make that comment outside of a wrestling thread and more importantly outside that context of the video YOU posted?
Banned stuff
unprotected chair shots to the head
shots to the back of the head
buckle bombs
blind moves backward into the turnbuckle
fencing responses (unnatural position of arms following a concussion)
seizure sells
spitting
bleeding in the crowd
weapons or projectiles in the crowd
taking drinks or food from guests in the crowd or physical contact with the crowd.
Blood on objects thrown into the crowd.
Below is a list that could be adjusted by medical, legal, and coaching staff, and it is not set in stone. Here is the list that needs to be approved by a coach:
Spots and bumps on the ring apron and outside
Table/ladder/chair spots in and out of the ring (Only allowed with padding)
Any elevated spots outside of the barricades (dives and ladder spots on stage, around the arena, and other places outside of the ring)
All piledriver/tombstone variations, including: sit down drivers, inverted/poison hurricarana and vertebreakers
High-risk dives or top rope moves (450, 630, double moonsaults, SSP, etc.) Intentional bleeding (of any sort, not just blading)
Throwing people into/through/over ring steps, commentary table, bell table, or guardrails/barricades Weapon usage:
Chairs, pipes, kendo sticks, hammers, ring bells, bats, chains, etc. Title belts
Thumbtacks, skewers, barbed wire, and other sharp/puncturing objects o Powders, aerosol sprays, or liquids
Throwing any weapons or objects- chairs, etc.
Choking/strangling with hands or a weapon or hanging spots
Injury spots or angles, whether or not medical is involved/called to the ring
Any physicality in the crowd or crowd brawling
Any physicality involving referees, managers, extras, celebrities, or special guests."
"Wrestlers were encouraged to speak with coaches, talent relations, medical team or legal about the list. One talent said they believe it’s a good move by helping “streamline the show, avoid repeat spots and moves in general, and make more of the athletic spots that talent are capable of.”
Damn, that's pretty much every AEW guy's move set, especially Moxley. How will they be able to have a match? LOL
Lolz was just going to post this.
These moves aren't banned they just need approval from coaches. The idea is they don't want everyone doing the same thing in every match. A steamline of sorts. If the wrestlers in match 1 already did two particular moves then the wrestlers in match 2 can't do those moves in their match etc. I like this change because each match will be more unique.
