Very little relevance. You can watch them on Twitch since they've been bumped down to a hunting channel (Pursuit) that few get. Their stories and in ring have improved the last few years but the brand is too damaged.
Talk is Jericho dropped this morning where he talks about the move to AEW.
Jesus ! That's bad ! What the hell happened ? I hope this time around it works AEW. But even Ted Turner could not do it.
That's only because Ted Turner lost control after the merger, otherwise he would have kept bankrolling WCW. AEW won't have that problem.
And here's the entrance theme for Joey Janela from All In that was just released to the public today:
I'd like to say "hogan happened to TNA" but I guess it would be a bit OVERKILL. Maybe.
The new Talk is Jericho where he outlines everything that's happened to bring him to AEW is super interesting...there's a great summary of it in the WrassleERA thread...def. worth a listen if you have the time.
I haven't seen wrestling since I was like 10, 35 now. But seeing these small venues is pretty hype.
The office has already shown them new favoritism by eliminating lucha house party rules. LOL.

None of that is a typo. They went from a constant million TV watchers in 2010 (Jan 4 2010 even had 2.2mil), to a few hundred thousand TV watchers last year, to ten thousand Twitch viewers this year. Turn out the lights
I can't imagine anyone would believe that am emergency push out of nowhere is a real push in the WWE. The number of start stop pushes in general probably cannot even be counted.
Listening to the Jericho podcast and while the promo stuff ("you could argue Jericho is better than ever" "Im a better wrestler than I was in my 30s") is pretty obvious, the rest is interesting. Its all marketing but I appreciate seeing how Jericho does business.
I dont see Revival leaving, theyre finally starting to get some buildup, I do agree theyre a bad fit for the main roster since their matches need time for the audience to really get invested but seeing how theyve been injured a lot I dont think theyre in the mindset to leave for now.
Gallows and Anderson though? Yeah I would not be surprised to see them jump ship ASAP

Not surprised in the slightest. They aren't the most charismatic guys but they proved in NXT that they can become the pillars for rejuvenating the tag team division on the main roster and WWE fucked up in that. You know AEW will come out them with some money and the promise of being one of the cornerstones in their promotion.
I think it'd be foolish to spend real money on the Revival. They're injury-prone and aren't very charismatic. They let the ring work speak for themselves which isn't a good mix for injury-prone teams. That, and you don't have anyone who would be a good "fit" to fill in if one of them gets hurt again.
The 2/3 falls match with DIY is one of the best tag matches i've seen in the past decade. 5 stars everywhere.
I like the Revival and their Greenpoint hipster ass take on the Four Horsemen as much as the next guy, I think they'd be fun in AEW, but seriously, why would WWE fear losing the Revival? The only fear there would be "well, that's one, do others follow".
It's good. It's all in-ring though, and DIY carries them. It was quite good. I should go back to when they were busting their asses and try to give them a more fair evaluation.
After Vince just gave Lawler a new contract with a raise, I'm pretty sure they fear losing ANYONE right now
AEW will be chopping at the bits for them. Yeah I agree, their not terribly charismatic with good characters but they are very talented hands who can be easily used to make top tag teams who you wanna build up look good. But WWE (Vince) has never cared about tag teams so them leaving wont bother him, I'm sure HHH will be bothered however.
See you in Los Angeles.
Think it's the Mortal Kombat thing.
EDIT: Bucks just RT'd this too
So probably going there
You're wrong. And they have old school charisma.
And they aren't injury prone. Freak incidents. Each got injured exactly once.
No one carries the Revival get out of town with this goofiness
They should. The Revival can be money if paired with Jim Cornette.
One of the Bucks tweeted just the word "Bar" so it seems like they might be doing a surprise appearance for Bar Wrestling, which makes sense as it's Joey Ryan's promotion and they're good friends with him.
And SCU are booked.
Bet they announce Joey as playing some part with AEW, even if it's just Double or Nothing.
"Carrying" The Revival?
The Revival got a good match out of those incompetent boobs Enzo & Cass. They do the carrying themselves.

They might have deleted the tweets then because they didn't want to get people's hopes up that it was AEW related.
Yeah Cornette will not go near a company that features Kenny and the Bucks as their stars :p
