I absolutely hated this discussion. Especially when they were arguing about taped vs live content.
If it isn't live I don't give a shit. I have a hard time watching taped stuff. I only give NXT a look if there's nothing else to watch or for me to do. I want to see the botches, dumb shit wrestlers say, and genuine crowd reactions, not a filtered/cleaned up product.
Yeah, this doesn't work if they aren't a bankable weekly draw. But the big PPV shows should be at most 4-6 per year, just so they retain their specialness.
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.You need regularity in TV. Every other week would be a mistake from an audience-building perspective. There's a reason every show on television airs weekly. Sometimes breaking the norms makes sense and sometimes they are norms for a well-learned reason.
Meltzer and Alvarez were having an interesting conversation on WOR a day or two ago where they were talking about the best approach to TV for AEW. Meltzer seemed to be more in favor of 1-2 TV shows per month in order to prevent oversaturation of talent and to keep things fresh, while Alvarez was in favor of a weekly one hour TV show with a "big show" on a monthly basis. I couldn't help but agree with Meltzer, as the oversaturation of wrestling (in terms of the number of TV hours per week and also how accessible/available wrestlers are on social media and such) has kinda made wrestlers in recent years feel less special and less like big attractions compared to how things were in the 90's. People will obviously argue that the industry was inevitably trending toward all of this anyways, but it's interesting to consider both approaches

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Dave Bautista is in talks with WWE for a match at WrestleMania 35, but it's not set in stone yet … and another company is expressing interest.
According to multiple sources, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star is deep in talks with WWE about a return on "The Grandest Stage of Them All."
However, we're told he's 50/50 on returning at this point based on how talks have gone.
In addition to this, we're told there's been interest expressed to Dave from All Elite Wrestling and he isn't turning them away. Our sources say he's listening to what both companies have to offer.
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
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.
I remember that idea and I think it would've gone ahead had Trips not suffered the curse of dealing with blood money.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.
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.WWE and AEW are bidding for Batista

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.The rumor was Triple H, that's what Batista has been wanting

If the Revival win the tag team titles, does that mean they're staying in the WWE?
It means they've been successfully tricked temporarily into believing they can help save a floundering Raw tag division.If the Revival win the tag team titles, does that mean they're staying in the WWE?
Imagine dedicating your time to being a gimmick anti-Meltzer twitter.
damnFightful is saying Ali is out of the EC match with an injury. No replacement is known at this time.
Super bummer for him.
They are under contract until April of next year so they are staying regardless
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.
KUSHIDA going to 205 would be very funny
should just call him Hideo too
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 MizKUSHIDA going to 205 would be very funny
should just call him Hideo too

It's not a long time for AEW but it's a hell of a long time for The Revival
