All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite Discussion Thread

[Chris]

Even if I ranked NXT over AEW and it's too early for me to make that statement one way or the other, I'd watch AEW because I already get to watch RAW and SmackDown unopposed. NXT might be a bit better than those two shows, I'd still rather support another company.

That's fine, like i said I probably won't end up watching either of them live anyway. I'd just pick NXT if I did

Can you just show up randomly and say AEW sucks?

I don’t know how many weeks I’ll watch wrestling live on Wednesday nights since I have to get up super early Thursday mornings, but I’ll try it for a few weeks.

There are people who already do that.

There are people who already do that.

Because some people aren't automatically assuming a wrestling boom is happening?

Fuck sakes, we've had like 20 years of proof behind the fact that pro wrestling isn't as popular as fans think it is.

It'll mean more comin' from Chris

I wasn’t talking specifically about you, but you’re proving the point. You can believe there isn’t a wrestling boom without randomly coming into threads just to shit on AEW.

Wrestling isn’t popular today, but it can be. We had a solid 5 years where wrestling was one of the most mainstream things in entertainment. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen again, though. And I already agreed with you it probably won’t. And due to the fact you’re getting all hot and bothered by a point I already agreed with you shows you just want to shit on AEW when you get the chance. I still wasn’t even talking about you, though, which makes it funnier.

I thought wrestling is bigger now than it was 15 years ago, despite the ratings bust during that time.

Brock drew pretty good numbers on ESPN... that's the closest we've come to wrestlin' bein' relevant again.

Who said that?

So far only one company remains profitable because of two tv deals, stock markets and dealings with some folks in Saudi Arabia.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

More companies should take that Saudi blood money.

Well, despite ROH and Impact clearly dying an agonizingly slow death, we have a lot of companies that are getting a bunch of publicity: MLW, AEW, NJPW, and even NWA are getting some form of mainstream attention.

NJPW is in a different market and was around even back then. As for MLW and NWA we’ll have to see how long they can make a run of it. Since MLW already folded once.

Not anymore, since they seem to do more shows in America than Japan nowadays.

When did MLW, NWA or Japan get any mainstream attention?

I'm seeing AEW only......do people not see when I say the wrestling bubble isn't mainstream?
