I like omega too but ya falling for this change the world carny juelzing.

Changing the world thru play fighting n video games

Change the world by voting in your elections especially local

Best bout machine can go tho

 

[Prince Akeem]

He REALLY could have changed tha world.

Instead he just being safe n vanilla.

WWE is the epitome of safe and vanilla.

You wanted Omega in the E and you're salty about it.

How is joining an upstart wrestling promotion being "safe n vanilla"?

Had he joined WWE he wouldn't have changed shyt. Look at Nakamura

Nak is just another body now.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Nakamura was in the fukkin pre show to Royal Rumble

He needs to get the fukk outta there

Quoting myself from another thread...Kenny being AEW was no question.

Kenny will have a founder's deal that will see him capable of making more money than if he just took a WWE contract, a franchise building legacy that elevates him into living legend, and he'll work with people he has voluntarily and happily worked with for years.

Did AJ, Nakamura, Finn, and Karl Anderson change the world when they joined WWE? Nope, they just became a cog in the machine.

One thing I thought about after the recent Fox TCA that nobody is talking about

They interviewed the head of Fox a couple of days back about Smackdown and its place on Friday. Currently the ratings are down on USA and Fox's Friday Night shows currently have gone up. He said that Smackdown on Fridays was a short term move. Now Meltzer and them speculated that may mean they may move them to another night but also to another channel like FS1

Is it possible that Fox might put Smackdown back on Tuesdays over on FS1 and then they end up competing and even taking viewership for Tuesday Night Dynamite?


I dont know if I see Vince changing the TV road schedule to Friday, weekend gap for house shows and then Raw on Monday when Monday/Tuesday is already a force of habit and may want to go back to that.


They gotta be careful over at AEW cause as much as they aren't trying to compete with WWE, theres nothing stopping WWE from competing with them

Wrestling Inc. was on hand for the Double Or Nothing Ticket Announcement Party at the MGM Grand Splash Pool in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight. After the event, Cody, Brandi Rhodesand Nick Jackson spoke to members of the media. During the scrum, Cody was asked if he would be using WCW as an inspiration for AEW.





"It sounds super romantic when you think about it," Cody said. "Dusty Rhodes feuded with Vince McMahon, and he lost, and here is his youngest son who is going to go and try to cut Vince's head off."

Cody said while the storyline of recreating WCW and avenging his father "sounds super Game of Thrones," the thought is in the back of his mind.

"In the back of my mind, when it's just me, I think about it a lot," Cody admitted. "But then I have these guys with me who have different visions. You can't turn the clock on old wrestling. WCW was friggin' awesome. What AEW is going to be is a whole separate animal


While AEW will be its own animal, Cody and Nick Jackson admitted that they plan to use elements of WCW and other old school wrestling, while blending it with today's wrestling. Cody reiterated that he wants AEW to have more of a sports feel to it.

"I said tonight, we're going to try and keep it very sports-centric," Cody said. "Tony [Khan], his background is in sports. To me, I still get goosebumps when I hear someone like Ric Flair say 'the sport of professional wrestling.' We get that it's entertainment. I understand the suspension of disbelief. But guys are trying to beat the other guys in many different ways, and women try to beat the other women in many different ways. [It's] a very sports-centric presentation that we're going for.

Thats the thing though

I get he aint interested in competing with WWE and doing his own thing but I know WWE is gonna do everything in their power to cockblock this thing.

If AEW airs on Tuesday then after a year on Fox Vince is gonna nudge the execs at Fox to put them back on Tuesdays and even ratings dont go up he knows he can maybe take their share of audiience

Everyone keeps on saying they not trying to compete with WWE, we know that....what Im saying is WWE may still try to shut they shyt down. Think not like the 90s and the Monday Wars but rather JCP vs WWF in the 80s

Lol @ salty

Ya neckbeards was the ones having panic attacks when it looked like he was going to WWE.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Omega can still work NJPW like Jericho. Omega also said he expects Ibushi to show up later, once he finishes some committments at the institute

 

[LezJepzin]

Didnt know about the AEW event last night till now. I'm in Vegas right now.


Could've went but I fell asleep at my hotel tired from all the fukkery I've done here already


*edit* seen the clips maybe it was good I didnt attend

 

[stro]

Only negative that's not really a "negative" is that this card so far appeals to much to the NXT/American NJPW fans. They might need something to get WWE casuals interested, I'm watching though.

Oh and I wonder what NJPW World subs gonna look like when AEW goes weekly.

"WWE casuals" isn't their audience, though. I don't think they're even on the radar. They're competing with NXT head space, but I don't think they really need to "compete" in the sense that I'm pretty sure people watching NXT are going to watch AEW and aren't going to be picking sides or anything.
