Toni Storm's championship acceptance speech.
Because it's extremely stupid. Perhaps, Tony is the one who likes to be cucked.Why is that funny?
You know TK doesn't get to pick the night the show airs, right? Especially when it's getting preempted because of the NHL. That's not how TV works...Because it's extremely stupid. Perhaps, Tony is the one who likes to be cucked.
I don't watch AEW, let alone keep up with the inner workings of their time slots. What I do know, is that is a dumb idea. Not to mention, it's rivalry week in college football. That's going to be a bloodbath.You know TK doesn't get to pick the night the show airs, right? Especially when it's getting preempted because of the NHL. That's not how TV works...
NXT only won because they brought out all the HOFers and big main roster draws, and yet that was only their second-ever h2h win over Dynamite. NXT hasn't come anywhere close to that number for any other episode ever since, both in total viewership and demoWait, stop...just yesterday ryan told me AEW isn't trying to compete with WWE. Let's see if Tony can refrain from making an ass out of himself on social media this time.
And true, sports will always preempt wrestling. Tough thing for AEW is the C show will be 7:00 - 8:00 and the B show 8:00 - 10:00, right in the middle of one of the big four WWE events, that's a WarGames, with Orton returning, and the Punk fog surrounding the show (even though that's not happening). Tony will hype his shows, as he should, but I hope to god he doesn't bring WWE up this week. His A show just got ratings shellacked by WWE's developmental C show. It'll be a minor victory if Collision breaks 300k Saturday night. Maybe they'll get a break soon with college football winding down.
I also will be curious to see what the ratings will look like once college football ends. The Collision ratings didn't start settling into the low-500K to sub-500K range until the first episode of August, which is also when NFL preseason games started up on Saturday nights. Then of course WWE/NXT PLEs and prempts have killed it a few times.Wait, stop...just yesterday ryan told me AEW isn't trying to compete with WWE.

Saturdays aren't great but options are limited of course.I also will be curious to see what the ratings will look like once college football ends.

TK should get convince WBD to take Collision off Saturdays because of the WWE factor alone. With the clear evidence that WWE's PLEs very much negatively affect AEW's numbers, it would not surprise me in the least if WWE tried to run more Saturday night NXT PLEs to hurt AEW. That's just the type of monopolistic tactics they do.
WWE was running Saturday PPVs long before Collision was ever even rumored.Saturdays aren't great but options are limited of course.
Monday? No.
Tuesday? Maybe but if NXT beats Collision, Tony might have a spaz attack.
Thursday? Maybe but there's TNF on Prime.
Friday? No.
Sunday? Maybe. There's SNF but if AEW made the move to put their PPV's (or someday Max PLE's) on Saturday nights, I'd sort of love that choice.
I imagine WWE chose Saturdays for a variety of reasons. I'm sure screwing with AEW's numbers was somewhere on their list. Fans have wanted Saturdays for years though and I'm glad they finally pulled the trigger on that decision.
I think the reason we had Sunday ppv back then was you had wcw Saturday night on the superstation and the Saturday nights main event on occasion but I agree Saturday always seemed the best option for the ple/ppvWWE was running Saturday PPVs long before Collision was ever even rumored.
Sundays have apparently historically been better for buyrates. That's what I've always read at least. I know Sundays are the most watched night of TV even outside of Sunday Night Football season.I think the reason we had Sunday ppv back then was you had wcw Saturday night on the superstation and the Saturday nights main event on occasion but I agree Saturday always seemed the best option for the ple/ppv
Yup I pretty much agree with all this.Agree on Christian but you can only play the dead dad type card so many times. He's a great heel doing great heel things but at some point he's going to run out of shocking and awful things to say about other wrestlers' families. But yeah, over the last few years I've gained a ton of respect for Christian. He's gotten over in every company he's been with. Fans always chose Edge over him and I do like Edge, but a case can be made that Christian is the better of the two, not that it's a competition.
Thought Dynamite was solid. I initially rolled my eyes at another long ass tournament but I do really like these matchups. Again, storylines. This is going to be another storyline that will last until the end of the year. AEW is getting a bit better at this. Sorta feels like when ratings dip Tony has two solutions - an announcement or a tournament lol. I do like this one though.
Serious question / i don’t watch AEW much but why does Jay white have to low blow to beat rush? He was #1 world title contender and just lost on ppv but can’t get a clean win on dynamite?
Geez that was…..something…Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all are having a great day.
So I don't think I'd ever seen this promo before, enjoy!
He's a heel, that's what heels do. Plus RUSH is pretty damn good.Serious question / i don’t watch AEW much but why does Jay white have to low blow to beat rush? He was #1 world title contender and just lost on ppv but can’t get a clean win on dynamite?
100% knew this would be the responseHe's a heel, that's what heels do. Plus RUSH is pretty damn good.
I can see em all either laughing their asses off taking the tape off after that or wanting to fight him. Jannetty tryin his hardest to just keep his face on screen, Anvil’s ear smashed against his head from the tape, Shawn nearly crackin up.Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all are having a great day.
So I don't think I'd ever seen this promo before, enjoy!
Yeah I figured this one would be legit with the way it was announced as a G1 Climix clone, but I was cautiously optimistic because all his tournaments before have always featured like two obvious finalists surrounded mostly by guys that really had no business being in the tournament.Agree on Christian but you can only play the dead dad type card so many times.
