I was wrong.

I swear to God if Dynamite goes to 3 hours then Rampage goes to 2 I'll snap haha.

I seriously doubt they'd do both.

I do personally think Rampage will eventually get 2 hours when it moves to TBS, but as long as Dynamite stays at 2 hours, I'm happy.

Yeah this last one the matches weren’t all that, but let’s be honest they didn’t exactly have to. I think part of it was trying to show off their younger talent since they knew so many eyes would be on them, so that was smart. But yeah they need to do big matches on it.

To me AEW will test this for awhile then go from 9-11 and compete with Smackdown’s second hour. I think fox can’t move past 10pm because of local news.

WCW did this.

AEW would be smart to compete your weaker first hour with their second better hour, then hook the viewers in your last hour unopposed.

They're also doing two Dark shows.

I'd personally cancel the Dark shows and give Rampage two hours, but as long as they use the most of rampage, it's good.

I think you're looking at these as different than what they are. It's 100% optional viewing of just mostly squash matches with jobbers from wherever to get people wins that aren't ready to be on either show or currently don't have a hot angle. They don't worry about advertising, ratings or anything for the YouTube shows, just exposure for talent.

I wouldn't have an issue if they stopped the YouTube shows bc they're meaningless and just fun bc of commentary not giving any fucks mostly but it's not "take away an hour of Dark and add an hour to Rampage" bc thats a whole other monster with so much more time and planning thats involved lol that's why barely anyone watches the YouTube shows, no matter how much of an AEW fan you are

Most of what you said is true, but it does take time in the arenas to film these shows and expenses to pay everyone involved in making them etc.

That's fair, arena time for sure. Not sure about the expenses bc its so cheaply produced and I think like Cody, the Bucks, and QT are the ones in charge. Their schedule should be interesting going forward too since Rampage is not going to be live often and taped with Dynamite.

I hope Rampage is live at least twice a month because as much as it sucks to produce live tv, it's a game changer in wrestling.

It's really hard to avoid spoilers for wrestling shows in 2021. Social media made it impossible.

I reckon its going to hurt nxt the most now

Fwiw I love dark n elevation but I defo treat as extra dark matches w the occasional story

 

[Marty McFourth]

I definitely was doubting AEW at the start. I thought it was cool and I was thankful for a new wrestling alternative, but I wasn't sure if it'd last. Even when they got good ratings at the beginning, I was worried it would not stick.

Seeing the growth over the years and big names like Punk joining the fray. It feels like we are all a part of something special. I'm really happy to be a wrestling fan right now, strong competition is very good.

It's alright, AEW needed doubters so Cody could have promo material

Do like I do, and hope people use the keywords and just block certain words sometimes. I had to avoid spoilers for Battle Riot for like 3 weeks. Thankfully no one talked about it without hashtags

The most spoilers I see are on Facebook, usually.

Same, and the best is when people go in the wrestling Facebook groups during or after an event and cry about spoilers
