I'm thinking what the marketing could be. TND on TNT.
WND sounds similar to WMD. So maybe they can make some puns with that.
I thought Tuesday night dynamite was just a made up name since it is loosely tied to nitro, not an actual trademarked thing.

Looks like ITV just revealed the other women's match at Fyter Fest to be Kylie Rae vs. Leva Bates on the pre-show:
Was hoping for Penelope or Sadie instead of Leva

I liked the suggestion someone made at some point of debuting on a Tuesday and then move to Wednesday from then on. You capitalise on the void left by Smackdown and then try and convince those viewers to come back for the Wednesday show.
In what city do you guys think the first episode of AEW's TV show should be held?
Top 3 cities that came to my mind were Atlanta, NYC, and LA.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of buildings they initially run for their weekly TV show. I think it'd be better to book smaller arenas first (around 4,000-5,000 in capacity) since a smaller building that's 100% full is going to look a lot better on TV than 15,000 seat buildings that are 50-75% full.

See, I kinda ruled out Chicago and Jacksonville since they're doing shows in both cities within the next two months. Otherwise, Chicago would be another top choice.
I think Atlanta is the logical place to do it. What I'm actually wondering is the next couple of weeks after the initial show. I'm thinking small arenas on the East coast before moving to mid and West.
There better be a show in Atlanta before the end of October. I may not live here anymore after that.

Okay, but what if statefarmarena.gif tho? Atlanta has my incredibly bias vote.
yes, but I think the bigger statement would be to roll up in that mother fucker and present your first show to the world in a sold out madison square garden. wwe aside, showing the world that you can sell out the most famous arena in the world makes your product look major league. and AEW has a rabid enough fanbase to do so.
They can do MSG too. I'm just saying Barclays has proven to be amazing for wrestling events. And it would be cheaper to run the building. Either way NYC would be great.
Going forward, what venues will be unbookable for AEW due to WWE holding exclusive rights? WCW could never book at MSG because of this very reason.
Edit: To paraphrase, what venues will AEW have to steer clear of for the time being due to contract licenses that the WWE might hold with certain arenas?

Oh I know they can. I'm just a huge fan of the intimate and unique environment that Hammerstein provides, dating back to the old ECW shows.
I know WWE has always had a deal for the arena in Pittsburgh, it's why we never had WCW run a big show here. I believe WWE has first right to book a date if another wrestling company books the main arena. But now that PITT university has a bigger arena; AEW could likely run that there.
So I'm new to all of this, but does BR Live suck or not? I'm hyped to watch Fyter Fest, so I decided to sign up for an account and it just constantly half loads or hangs on Firefox. Is it me or my browser?
I haven't watched in anything in a browser. I watched DoN on Amazon Fire TV's BR app and I had no issues. A device that has the app might be worth investing in if you plan on watching AEW PPVs frequently.
I used BR Live for the first time on a Roku stick for Double or Nothing and didn't have any issues.
You might want to try a different browser (Chrome, IE, Safari) to see if it works better for you.
Anyone used fitetv through a PS4 browser before?
Only way I can watch in the UK and the test site says it will work on my PS4 but I was wondering what the quality is like.

So Tony Khan talked with Meltzer about his predictions for ticket sales and had estimated the initial sales for Fight For the Fallen in Jacksonville to be "a little less" than what they actually ended up getting (~4000) and thinks that they'll ultimately sell out with walkup sales aiding in that. They've got around 650 tickets left with 3 weeks to go, so they'll probably reach that once the advertising for the show ramps up.
Yeah I watched double or nothing using Fite via the PS4 web browser and it worked great for me.
If your not sure about it you can do what I did and watch the free buy in first to make sure it works for you.
Are you using an ad blocker? That or something like Ghostery may be preventing it from loading.
Thanks for the response, will probably give the next show a go then since it's only £8.
Dunno about their Live page, but ever since their overhaul a few years ago BR has become a scriptmageddon.

Be interesting to see if Aerostar actually shows up.
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE??!!?"
Edit: wtf @ the ending of that gif lol
I noticed it late too, and I don't care. That skit played in 1995 too.
Yes, B/R Live offers on-demand replays after the live showing
