And y'all said wcw was fucking dead

Haha the 30-second main event with ALL THE FUCKERY. Take that AEW and Cody wanting to be WCW.

(Difference being this was oddly satisfying rather than a fuck no-finish for no point. And the Main Event wasn't hyped up ALL NIGHT AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST NIGHTS IN OUR SPORT, to get that fuck finish.)

Man, if that's at all indicative of what we're gonna get every week then I am so thankful to AEW for making this happen. lol

I agree. I just wonder if it's limiting and what the potential for growth is with it.

I mean they're running the show from the same arena every week either way, so I dunno what the growth potential is regardless as the PPVs sell out whenever they happen regardless.

(If you mean TV ratings, I dunno how much presentation and arena tie into that, especially when, again, they don't travel anyway.)

I really think a tiny percentage will give a shit about the square footage of the arena. Most are interested in what's happening in the 20x20 ring.

We'll see. I dunno. Just something about it. Part of the reason I couldn't get into NXT on a regular basis when I tried watching it a few years ago. Anyway, will give the episode a watch once it becomes available and see if my opinion changes after seeing it all laid out.

Obviously a different time, but TNA did 2 million viewers airing out of the Impact Zone. I don't think it matters that much if the product is good.

Wasn't that 2 million a supercard show with Hogan, Sting, and a bunch of other well-known names? I know what you mean, though. Like I said, I'll give it a whirl. Only caught the first two matches before I had to pay more attention to my kids and put them to bed.

Seems like this may be the beginning of an actual push for Candice. She's claiming in a backstage interview that because Io attempted to end her career, that it lit a fire in her, and now she's gonna dethrone Shayna.

Honestly I would still stick to the plan of Io being able to outwrestle and outwit Candice at every turn, causing her to lose the title at War Games or something.

You need 3 hours to get anything done though, we know this. We need the show-opening 30-minute promo for starters.

I didnt even realize it was that much. Plus the show ended by 950 so it was under two hours.

It didn't even feel like two hours went by, incredible pacing by Triple H.

One thing that was neat about the show is that it showcased the best of all the Network shows, not just NXT.

You had Imperium as a big part of the show and a CW #1 contender's match.

So looking ahead to October 2nd against AEW, we already have Baszler vs. Candice. I expect WALTER/KUSHIDA to end up on that episode too. Wonder what else.
