All Elite Wrestling #2: The road to October

[GKJ]

I don't know if it has been discussed, but is the weekly show just going to be called AEW on TNT?

No.

 

[Megahab]

No.

So they just haven't announced an official name yet? That's odd. First show is in about 3 weeks.

That’s correct. It is supposed to be announced, but Tony Khan has been adamant.

All Out buys looking a good amount lower than DoN per Meltzer. Probably around 100k.

I mean labour day weekend is the last weekend of the summer really. Probably not the best date for a ppv

Odd considering Fite TV has said the buys for All Out exceed DON for them.

Maybe Bleacher Report was lower

Pretty sure Dave is talking about traditional PPV buys.

Ah.

So it’s possible some/many of those bought it through FITE & BR Live instead.

I haven’t seen the actual FITE tv number though, nor anything from BR Live.

I really liked the road to TNT video they dropped Wednesday, they're doing good personality profiles that don't come across as phony. Jericho also did an awesome promo against Cody in a separate video, boy if he goes in on Dusty and their seemingly real history..that could turn into a hot issue

latest Road to TNT made it sound that JR and Shiavone will call tv

I like Excalibur until I f***ing look at him, he looks ridiculous with the mask on. He knows the moves, and has passion but it's hard to take him seriously when they do on cameras.

 

[Disclose]

imagine being good at your job and you like him. then they show him and its not what you thought. so now you cant take him seriously..... lmao.

 

[ColePens]

Ex should 10000 percent be on play by play.

 

[Ben Grimm]

This will get better ratings than Smackdown.

 

[JackSlater]

Excalibur is a decent announcer already and has potential to develop nicely. Caring what he looks like (seems to be mainly a Cornette complaint) is a very Vince McMahon way to think, reminiscent of his views on Jim Ross.

He's still green as an announcer to a degree like I said I like his enthusiasm and that he knows the moves but he looks ridiculous, this is supposed to be a professional sports based wrestling company. Imagine an NFL color commentator wearing a football helmet during broadcasts, it would look dumb. Nobody knows who he is that's why I am saying that

He's a good announcer, to me I don't care what am announcer looks like.

hes been doing commentary for 12 years. hes not green. you said you like him already. except his mask.
we know his real name already lol. if it really bothers you.
and if you google him its a cool story and a guy who knows his shit. he's more than known in the wrestling world.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Still no Canadian tv deal announced eh?

 

[Disclose]

its coming 100%
and im expecting a live show announced

(3 days ago)

I don't know who he is or if he's any good but I think a commentator with a mask is pretty cool. It's unique. We can't compare everything to pro sports.

“And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”

MJF went to battle with the DnD community on twitter and it was hilarious.
