.....Is this the logic behind people wanting to see live product? 'Cause it's awful.
Exaaaactly. We can say they aren't in competition with WWE, but they definitely need to carve out enough of a space to justify having a billionaire invested in their product.
Yeah, I know it's not realistic to expect a bi-weekly or monthly TV show, but in an ideal world, that would be my preference since I guess I don't have confidence in the booking of almost any promotion at this point to competently book on a week-to-week basis.
I think AEW could run Royal Albert Hall in London before their TV starts and be fine. But having a show in June before Jacksonville in July, London in August, Chicago in September seems like too much unless the June/Jacksonville shows are smaller.
Granted I don't blame them if they do since they've got a roster to pay, but it'll hurt them after September if they satisfy hardcore demand before they grow their fanbase.
Meltzer & Garrett Gonzalez (who I already like way, way better than Bryan) both agreed on last night's show that they absolutely have to have weekly TV to build up new stars.

I'm team 1 week tv 2 hours and 4 big shows every 3 months, adjust a year after.
I think that is the best of both worlds and can make tv seems important.
WWE and AEW are bidding for Batista

AEW getting Batista would be hilarious
There's no way it happens, he's just gonna use it to finally get WWE to pull the trigger on him for god knows why
Batista shows up on AEW and cuts the TNA "WWE exit shoot" promo, but it's on Disney

Yeah, it's probably just a leverage play. I think he does have a good relationship with Jericho though.
Question is, who would you even want to see Big Dave face at this stage in his career?
Brainstorming hypothetical mania matches and it's not great.

So I take it that Kota's gonna be the one to end the Cutthroat Era.
Thought it would be most fitting for it to be Naito. Then again it may still be Naito while Kota chases the IC belt and then goes for Naito.

The rumor was Triple H, that's what Batista has been wanting
And it seemed to go out the window when Hunter got hurt, but he's been "rehabbing" hard and is already cleared to train again. So who knows.
Surprised they took the belt off Tana so soon, but I do like this booking of Jay as a heel who comes through on his promises and this habit of limb targeting plus Bladerunner is a really nice touch.
I'm thinking now there are a few possible outcomes, Okada redemption angle this year, probably winning the G1. Also with Ibushi finally committing to NJPW long term I expect him to get at least one shot at the belt.
Jay will probably get at least 1 title defence before dropping the belt, a no defences run would really hurt him so I can't see that happening.

I remember that idea and I think it would've gone ahead had Trips not suffered the curse of dealing with blood money.
Batista/Brock could've been a fun novelty, non title that is but that ship has sailed.
Batista vs Joe? perhaps a few years ago that would've been rad.
I am highly skeptical of this claim because I don't know that I buy that Batista has nothing else to do, and can be ring ready and build a program in less than 2 months.
Although I have to admit I would laugh a ton at the concept of Batista making his grand return for the second time at WrestleMania only to get the spotlight stolen by a fan-anointed babyface yet again.
All I see here is Jonah Hill trying to breathe with the swtichblade but just not being familiar with the exact hand sign,
They started that build up a little on that SmackDown 1000 thing, but I'm highly skeptical that even if he's been training that HHH is going to be ready to run a match at WrestleMania.
Knowing WWE, they are going to run Injured HHH vs. Ring Rusty Batista as the main event right beyond Ronda/Becky for a totally heatless match full of bootista chants where they are roundly criticized after-the-fact for refusing to put a much more popular women's angle into the main event less than a month before a Blood Rumble.
They are under contract until April of next year so they are staying regardless
It means they've been successfully tricked temporarily into believing they can help save a floundering Raw tag division.
Imagine dedicating your time to being a gimmick anti-Meltzer twitter.
It's so sad
Only thing sadder is the journos who also play the gimmick.
Y'know, April feels like a long time away but it isn't. If their show really starts in October it'll be seven months after the show starts. Great time to add new people in a refresh.
It's not a long time for AEW but it's a hell of a long time for The Revival
2 Days of WK
Ibushi beats Jay
Okada and Naito Draw in the G1 final (double pin or something).
Okada gets Jan 4 shot, beats Ibushi
Naito defends IC belt on Jan 4 loses...
Naito with all the pressure, facing the idea of back to back failure at the Tokyo Dome.... beats Okada on Jan 5.
DESTINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Only thing in that I;d be iffy on is the G1 draw.... but there's a first time for everything
Other option is Naito wins G1 but Okada somehow gets the Jan 4 shot first.

the TJPW maid cafe crossover event is some grade A creep shit but i'll be damned if I don't want Pom Harajuku serving me poison in my final resting place
Nope, he's going to hit up NXT where his gimmick will be rewritten so that instead of being a Back to the Future fan, he is an enthusiast of the Marine and stans the Miz
Angry Grimace's EXCLUSIVE SCOOPZ: It's Omega, Jericho, the Bucks and Cody Rhodes. AEW was all a work brother
Yeah it's a full year and change. But I don't think WWE is going to change their minds much either.
