Every aew show***

Thats a luxury tbh, you can do bare minimum bc the match is already sold, and you don't have to worry about fucking it up by convuluting the booking lol

 

[Chris]

Or the period where everyone are show ended in gang wars

this is one that's always gonna be a thing too, just in cycles lol TNA did it too it's way too easy to sell PPVs like that if there's some multiman anyway

yeah so long as factions and intertwining feuds exists its kind of inevitable

 

[Chris]

WWE used to do royal rumble go home shows like that with a bunch of random people getting thrown over the top rope, I loved that shit

 

[Comrade Khan]

yeah its welcome when building up matches like the rumble or anarchy or other things

 

[Comrade Khan]

i know its a trope but i also enjoy the faces and heels tagging vs one another or the njpw house show multimatch booking

 

[Comrade Khan]

it works if not spammed

 

[Comrade Khan]

you make a good point about every promotions having internal tropes tho

yeah that's just more the culture there tbh, Japanese fans have just grown to know what to expect as far as card order and structure and that's what they want. A nice cycle there bc it's easy booking. Also allows the story telling to have to unfold during the match instead of outside

As an aside I really liked how tony handled the counter programming question. He's changed a lot lately in the way he conducts himself

waiting until it's brought up instead of commenting first helps a lot. No one came accuse him of playing victim like it's easy to if he's the first guy you see bring it up

also a good point. He also didn't complain . Just said it won't turn out like it did for crocket and smiled

 

[Comrade Khan]

Kind crazy to see the contrast of hunter and tony in 2025 and how they handle media now compared to even last year

 

[Comrade Khan]

Perception has flipped a lil
