I didn't realize how good Sammy Guevara's theme is when it's not covered up by people booing.
So I'm wondering who should be challenging for the women's division? I feel like Kong , Shida, and Nyla is too early. I don't want to see Britt right away either. I'm thinking Hayter or Penelope Ford for now then go with Kong or Shida depending on where that story goes
I'd really need to add MJF in there though.
His stint on commentary during dark the other week was brilliant, he was straight up channelling the spirit of Bobby Heenan...I also loved how Excalibur picked up on it and referenced Guerilla at one point with "oh will you stop!".
Attendance for Indianapolis next Wednesday doesn't look great right now tbh. A lot of empty bowls. Wiki says the capacity is 6,800. Hope they'll end up with at least 5,000 hyped fans. The match card looks great and deserves a caring audience.
I think they're feeling it out.
Man, the lighting around the ring in these shows is just going to keep getting darker, isn't it?Attendance for Indianapolis next Wednesday doesn't look great right now tbh. A lot of empty bowls.

For the Sears Centre the week after, I just did the "tickets available" math and they have only around 400 tickets left for that show, so that's a plus.
Gonna see if I can do the same for Indy now...
EDIT: Did it for Indy. There are 3 "100+ available" sections that I counted as 100, so with that math, there are 932 tickets available. It's most definitely at least 1,000. That said, they'll at least be guaranteed 5,500 I think.

Doesn't look that bad to me honestly, I mean I'm not an expert or anything but I'm sure wwe would kill for that with some 9f the shows they have had at points lol.Attendance for Indianapolis next Wednesday doesn't look great right now tbh.

You're assuming certain section like the area behind the hardcam were already put on sale which probably hasn't happened.
It's not really anything to worry about though. WWE has half filled arenas like this all the time. They've sold enough too fill what will face the hardcam after moving some people around so it'll look good on TV. It's Indianapolis, not some big wrestling city like NYC or Chicago. It's fine.

Yeahhhh you should probably back away from this stuff a bit or you'll go nuts over analyzing things that isn't your job to be concerned with. We've had the talk about how wrestling at large isn't as big as it was thanks to the WWE strangling the light out of the fandom here in the states. It's not that AEW are in trouble. It's that the business is in a bad spot and this is the start of an upswing. The fact they've aold as much as they have in that arena is impressive enough.Attendance for Indianapolis next Wednesday doesn't look great right now tbh. A lot of empty bowls.

Okay, I'll try to chill. The product is so good and deserves to be selling out every show, know what I mean? But as a hardcore, I know not everyone shares my enthusiasm.
A 5,500 weekly average attendance on a Wednesday is AMAZING for a 11 month old wrestling company. Between this, a 100k PPV buying rate at $50 a pop and them beating WWE in the ratings they should be ecstatic with all their early success.
i am enthused but not to the point of looking at things so closely it starts to stress me out.
It's not really stressing me, as they're healthy by all accounts. I just want them to be a massive success. Some of my doom and gloom is put on.

I'm assuming MJF will betray Jericho soon and set up his own stable.
One concern i have with aew is that the relatively small roster is a double edged sword: on one hand you have guys like private party,allin,scorpio sky and cassidy booked right and hopefully make them future stars and on the other hand you have to give stuff away on tv that should be ppv caliber like page vs pac again,janella vs omega again after that awesome dark match etc.Like allin vs mox should be a 30 min non-title ppv deathmatch and you wasting it on a random wednesday on a random crowd.

I see you, Guevara.

They're only having 4 PPVs a year, they can afford to have PPV cards for Dynamite episodes with the space they have.
Darby vs Mox isn't being wasted though, like you say they're trying to build new stars and if Darby hangs with Mox like he hung with Jericho and Cody then that only helps Darby. As long as Darby isn't booked to look like a joke then the match isn't a waste.
Context matters too.
Darby isn't a big star yet, for all intents and purposes he's a new guy that's only just been introduced to the world at large 2 months ago.
This is just a match between two guys but maybe in 12 months time they do the match again but now Darby is the top face in the company and it gives the rematch a new dynamic, hell maybe Mox is heel and the champ in 12 months time and we all want Darby to kill him.
Good promo but this continues something I have an issue with. They keep calling the Bucks the best tag team in the world. While that's true in my opinion telling the TV audience this undermines the champs SCU. Also they've keep telling people they are the best but haven't really shown it. The Bucks lost in the first round of the tourney to a young team that then went on a losing streak and the Bucks haven't any big wins since losing to the Lucha bros. The Bucks may have been too generous in putting people over imo.

I'm pretty sure he's locked down by NJPW for a few more years so wouldn't be anytime soon even if he'd be interested.
