All Elite Wrestling/ALL IN 2 - paperwork been filed, in a positive sense. :ohhh:

[stro]

Excalibur is a great pick up of course...fukking JR in 2019 and beyond

 

[THE 101]

Looking forward to JR calling Pentagon Octagon Jr

 

[stro]

Nah he'll just repeat that he reminds him of calling The Great Muta in 1989 every show

BREAKING: The Elite Confirm 'ALL IN 2' Returning To Chicago - ProWrestling.com

I might go this time if its at the United Center. All State Arena

That’s kinda some bullshyt if they go back to Sears Centre though. SC isn’t public trans friendly for those of us who don’t drive. At least United Center and Allstate Arena are accessible for all: those who can go to Sears would go regardless of where the show’s at, whereas AEW are missing out on $$$ from those who can’t make it out there.

That being said, I do understand that Allstate is a WWE stronghold, Credit 1 and Winfield arenas both max out at 10k, and UC might be too big (though they could alter the capacity for this show).

JR is all in

 

[DoubleJ13]

Good on Excalibur

Poor guy going to have his work cut out for him trying to have, the 2019 version of JR & the other guy with no experience besides the WWE Axxcess call a match gimmick, work out.

I find myself watching Road To Double Nothing once I see the notification while watching BTE feels like a chore.

"Most lucrative deal in commentary history" is a pretty bizarre flex

 

[Homer Simpson]

Most lucrative deal with no details announced

They should change the name to All Cap Wrestling at this point

 

[stro]

They still don't have even a hint of a TV deal, but they're putting out press releases about how much money they're spending on announcers

 

[THE 101]

Meltzer has also started juelzin about how a streaming only deal mightn't be so bad....they must be struggling to get a decent deal

 

[stro]

I would say it's probably likely that's what they're going to go with, maybe even just keep it on Youtube with their other stuff, because all that big talk about major TV stations and weekly shows went from "Weekly shows on the best network" to "Maybe we could run a show on TV every couple of weeks" to "We don't REALLY need TV" to just dropping any talk about it all together.

They're going to have to have a TV deal to start out. Netflix isn't and will never be an option, so either Hulu or Amazon would have to pony up for live content. In a couple of years they might be able to go to a streaming service and bypass TV all together, but for the short term at least they would have to have some sort of TV deal.
