AEW in Fall 2022- Spreading lies and bullshit to the media.

[Valeyard]

No they're gone like tears in the rain.

 

[geniusMoment]

Maybe they can do a loop at the ECW Arena and The Burt Flickinger Center early next year.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Like everyone wouldn’t love an AEW residency at the ECW Arena? That’s a good if not great idea tbh!

 

[Valeyard]

That place is a toilet.

 

[geniusMoment]

It did smell like pee. I saw ECW live there 5 times in the late 90s. Also no AC.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It’s been gentrified!

 

[Valeyard]

So's AEW.

 

[Hawk 34]

Hara Arena, home of the Heatwave shows in 98 and 99 is long gone from tornado damage as well.

If things get too rough in their home market he can book the Odeum in Chicago.

Edit: NO HE CANT. It’s closed as well.

Running out of options Tony.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Idk if AEW ever went through a gritty period to justify being called gentrified though. Unless you count regularly booking Joey Janela as their pre gentrification period.

 

[geniusMoment]

Damn, I didn't know Hara was gone. I was at Heatwave 98. Didn't go to 99 though.

as long as aew keeps drawing the tv ratings it does they could be in front of one of those old tv studio audiences from the 80s and it wouldnt matter tbh.

Fernwood Resort burned down a few years ago. I've driven by it a bunch of times. Still wish my mom had taken me to that Raw where Savage and Crush got in a brawl.

I was at that show!

The business has. AEW has cleaned up the worst parts, made things safer for everyone, pushes the right amount of minorities so as to not threaten the whites out there, lots of vibrant community support. Kenny Omega is the Whole Foods of wrestling.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Also if you look on WrestleTix, RAW and Smackdown usually only have about 6k-7k people at shows. Outside of a handful of events for each company, business isn’t very hot right now.

It's almost like the economy actually fuckin sucks beyond just gas prices like some people keep trying to tell you

I wish Miro was on of Tony's favorites....

[RedJed]

Hasn't Miro been doing some out of wrestling work in acting on some television show as well? I'd take that more as the reason for the long term absense but, as she said, is what it is!

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Someone's going to throw a rock at me for suggesting this but I almost wonder if Miro would have been better off in Impact or NJPW where he could have been a big fish in a smaller pond.

 

[Valeyard]

Miro was a perfect signing that got totally squandered when some other shiny new toy appeared for TK to fixate on. TK clearly isn't sure how to book him anyway otherwise Gamer Miro wouldn't have been a thing and set him back a year.

[alkeiper]

I mean, I love Maria. Bennett's ok. But a multi-year deal? Who are you bidding against?!

 

[Fall of Epic]

 

[Valeyard]

For real though what kind of money does AEW make? There is no way they turn a real profit with this stuff happening all the time.

Impact Wrestling amicably let those three go earlier this month. IMPACT WRESTLING!

 

[Valeyard]

Still not sure if basically trading Taven and Bennett for Bobby Fish is a good move.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Lateral at best.

I'd rather have Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, I guess, long term as midcard stalwarts but if you ask me which of the three is most likely to have a great match at any given moment then it's Fish.

 

[Valeyard]

It's so fucked up that Miro and Claudio aren't getting TV time but those goofs are. Now I wonder if they're making the same money.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

The past 8 weeks really have convinced me that there really is room for a third major North American wrestling promotion.

(Scott D'Amore punches through boater hat)

 

[Valeyard]

ROH duh

 

[Valeyard]

But in all seriousness there definitely is a place for a number three. A real one, not GCW-style. It makes me surprised how shitty Corgan hasn't used his cache to get on MTV3 or some shit.
