AEW The Rest of 2024: Did we really need 4 threads a year?

[cobainwasmurdered]

Seems like a lot, but I appreciate the effort. I'm not doing a new one for WWE, someone else who cares can though.

Dave says the deal is done. Let the speculation about what it all means begin. Lets hope the archives are going to go online though.

I am constantly impressed by how terrible wrestling companies are at making merchandise.

 

[JHawk]

That would be fine with just the logo or just the belt but both makes it too cluttered IMO

 

[Valeyard]

Does it only come in virgin?

 

[alkeiper]

They need to use something besides black as a background.

Ourand is as good as it gets reporting on sports media deals, so this should be good info.

 

[Valeyard]

TruTV should bring back Hardcore Pawn just for crossovers.

The brief period where they're profitable before Tony blows it all on giant contracts, music deals, and fireworks will be fun to see the hoops people jump through.

Dynamite is coming to Manchester, NH om Nov. 6 so I'm wondering how many ringside seats @Big Papa Paegan is going to buy.

Dude, I know I make a lot of jokes about NH being the Kentucky of the north, but it's still on another side of the country from Nashville.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Great. Now I have another reason to be homesick. Jerk. JERK.

 

[alkeiper]

Dynamite is in Wilkes-Barre tomorrow so I’m gonna check it out.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

I just really want this new TV deal to be announced so everyone can shut the fuck up. It's insane how certain fans now care about metrics like TV deals and turnstile counts. Whats next, quality of refreshments served?

Oh you'll get my rants about $6 gatorades believe me.

Outrunners on Jericho's Podcast is must listen stuff.

They added Mortos Vs Ricochet to Dynamite tonight which should be fantastic. Someone pointed out on reddit that this is Dynamite 259 and that on Nitro 259 THIS is what we were getting

It's completely insane to me that Dynamite is already at this point and people are still trying to insist it's a failure.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

...yeah, Dynamite having the same number of episodes as Nitro did before the latter went to complete shit is eye opening.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

I don't know guys, I'm gonna have to see if the ratings, attendance behind the hard cam, and Jim Cornette are going to allow me to say if this episode will be good or not.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

The ratings/attendance/etc. talk is just a lazy way to mock a company whose product isn't what they want to see, even if it is a useful metric to point out that the tone of the shows and booking philosophy isn't working beyond subjective "enjoyment."

To memeify it...
They make fun of AEW because of its TV ratings. I make fun of AEW because it's poorly booked.

Ospreay/Riccohet in 2 weeks. C'mon Ric, let em know what you can do.

AEW Collision 9/21/24
Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara vs. Mike Bennett & Matt Taven in a Bunkhouse Brawl for the ROH Tag Team Titles
FTR, HOOK & The Outrunners vs. Roderick Strong, Beast Mortos, Rush & Grizzled Young Veterans

AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam 9/25/24
Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness (if Danielson is medically cleared)
Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley for Allin’s AEW World Title Shot
The Young Bucks vs. Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher for the AEW Tag Team Titles
HOOK vs. Roderick Strong for the FTW Title
PAC, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta defend the AEW Trios Titles

Fightful reporting that Miro has requested his release. Not surprising. I forgot he was even still with the company technically.

What a disappointing run he ended up having. When Miro came in, I really thought he could be a main eventer.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

Yeah he had a great TNT title run and even showed a glimpse of hope with that Hobbs match last year but whatever issues he had kept perpetuating. I wonder how much his divorce put him in a bad place.

When he came in it was a completely fucked arrival that made him immediately irrelevant and it took him going away and coming back with a new character and being used seriously to be a legit act for the company but naturally that was short lived as well.

Now he does commercials, so good for him.

 

[Valeyard]

Botched but his own fault for practically all of it, and completely unnecessary to keep around at this point.

Is CJ still under contract?

 

[Tino Standard]

Nope, she was released earlier this year.

It's hard to do something with someone who thinks the only jobs they should be doing are to guys who were previously in WWE.
