Exactly how I feel, NXT crowd makes the show, Io return should've been deafening.I kind of feel bad saying this but I'm okay with that.
Its just not as fun without a crowd. Sucks horribly for indie guys though, they're getting as fucked as hard as they can be by all this.
Nah I felt it too. Looked too nasty to just be "FIGHTING SPIRT"ed out of.Anyone else feel like for a match meant as a rub to showcase Guevara, Kenny burying Guevaras finisher of a burning hammer flipped into a go 2 sleep and stuffing him without dropping after taking it to do either a 3rd or 4th Vtrigger was just wrong?
I mean I've seen fighting spirit spots of dazed on your feet hitting a move in response to a finish on reflex and then both men are down but Kenny stayed up after he got hit AND after he did the reflex response of a knee. Then he proceeded to do one winged angel and that was it. He buried Guevaras finish. Plus he already used the "on reflex response" earlier after Guevaras springboard cutter to the ring to roll outside. Sure it setup a dive spot to show off Guevara but pulling that card on both Guevaras biggest spots of the match the second hes hit just felt like teaching viewers the idea "he good but to face anyone of status his best tools dont cut it and will need new spots to believably stop anyone".
Is it just me? Did this seem like Kenny goin too far to stay above the guy? Exciting match but for a rub Guevaras best moves got buried as things that can be shrugged off, rolled out of immediately or straight something you can take and then kick his ass for doin.
I would have loved that.I would say they didn't go far enough.
He should have shot Sammy with a lightning bolt and turned him into a pigeon.
I know right? If you do the big move response to ANY finish you're supposed to go down and have both men down after fighting to get up and keep goin. Fighting spirit spots are problematic without the audience roar now though...Nah I felt it too. Looked too nasty to just be "FIGHTING SPIRT"ed out of.
There's a pretty easy way out of it as well, have Kenny fall into the ropes after then Sammy can lose the pinfall due to the ensuing shenanigans. Sammy gets focused on Aubrey then Kenny takes advantage, Kenny looks more experienced but lucky, Sammy looks dangerous but hot-headed.I know right?

Right now I think stables and bringing seconds to the ring may need to happen in empty arena AEW. Someone to cheer and slap the mat when theres no crowd during fighting spirit spots. So long as it doesnt turn to interference all the time it works.
I dont think I could ever book but apparently from recent responses online I could coach psychology and match presence some. I keep getting positive responses frequently from indie folks and aew newcomers fresh from the indies when I do critique stuff this past year.There's a pretty easy way out of it as well, have Kenny fall into the ropes after then Sammy can lose the pinfall due to the ensuing shenanigans.

If any Kahn's or McMahon's are looking for further booking consultation my rates are highly competitive.

Agreed. Roman made himself look stronger with this decision than Vince ever could.Smart move. You don't beat cancer just to put yourself back into danger.

The WrestleMania card has also changed. Names are being kept confidential because so few know, but it's been confirmed that multiple people on the card either said they were sick, which meant instantly being pulled off all shows this week, there were others who did not feel sick but had fevers above 100.4, which was the WWE's cut-off point of not allowing people to work, and others who, on their own, said they didn't feel comfortable flying in. Both AEW and WWE had told people that if they don't want to come, they don't have to come and that the decisions made now won't be held against them when it comes to future booking.
Brock can lose to Drew on night 1 and then win the other belt from Goldberg on night 2 so Vince can run Brock/Roman again.

Regarding reports of interest in C.M. Punk for WrestleMania, Vince McMahon labeled him the one man I just can't do business with and nobody at the top level, including Paul Heyman has argued the point or pushed for him. Punk's agent did try to open a conversation and was turned down. It was described that the FOX gig was something FOX wanted and WWE allowed it as a concession to not making waves in their relationship with the network, but it was limited to only one show a month. Even those who would argue a one-time appearance at Mania would be good for business were told that Brooks devalued himself when his wrestling comeback was on WWE Backstage and after the first week, there was no more ratings jump in the show, rather than holding out for a big appearance. I was told that while you never say never in wrestling, there is no interest right now in him for anything in WWE
Regarding The Revival, there were reports that Scott Dawson's contract has expired because he tweeted "free at last," but officially it has not. But it's just a few weeks away from expiring. As noted last week, because The Revival had already surpassed the downside figure on their contracts and are no longer being booked, they haven't received a paycheck in nearly two months. A lot of the talent would fall into the category as if they were above their downside, they wouldn't be getting paid right now except for days worked. Some, like Slater, made sure that their $400,000 downside was paid bi-weekly as opposed to agreeing to take the regular payments every other week based on house shows and merch. For the others, and this is the vast majority, if you don't make your downside you get the lump sum at the end of the year so if there is a long shutdown, most of the talent won't be paid until later. With Slater, since he's rarely booked, he probably wouldn't be having $8,000 weeks based on his spot and the number of shows he works and merch he sells, so it made sense for him to ask for that option. While everything is different now, for The Revival, they went from wanting to give them the comedy gimmick and starting that story, to cool them off, similar to Matt Hardy's being buried on departure, to just not using them. That put the pressure on them to sign because they weren't getting paid and even though Dawson's deal is up in a few weeks, Wilder's won't be until mid-June, so that's the earliest they could sign elsewhere. So they'd have to not make any money until mid-June unless they sign new deals and also ask to be paid ahead if that would even be an option, because even if they signed and were re-booked, there's no lock there will be shows to be paid off. So this does put great economic pressure on both right now. It actually does on a lot of people if those goes a significant length of time
That's the outcome most of us should expect coming out of all this.Brock can lose to Drew on night 1 and then win the other belt from Goldberg on night 2 so Vince can run Brock/Roman again or just swap the belt back whenever they get to have another Blood Money.
