All Elite Wrestling (On Triller TV and ESPN)

That theme song is straight garbage for a wrestling intro. It feels more like a song for a TV commercial selling some lame product.

Like I’m seeing pictures of Bobby Lashley, Samoa Joe and Mox and that song is on it just doesn’t fit or suit but that’s just my take.

 

[Mostyn]

They mentioned that they were coming to Australia. That was it, they didn't say anything about the show.

And the spot on the tron where they advertise the next big show had AEW Revolution.

This might not even be a Max special, it might be a ****ing house show.

TK really saying **** you to 12000 fans who bought tickets because 40,000 didn't.

What the **** are you talking about?

Seriously, I don't understand your point?

What kind of comments were you expecting on a broadcast in the United States about a show taking place 15,000km away?

 

[Mostyn]

Cope needs to only be a nickname. Like when people call Jon Moxley “Mox”.

Justin Roberts yelling out Cope just sounded weird.

Yeah, that's fair. I think they sort this out pretty quick. Copeland doesn't need a trademark that desperately.

Yeah, I agree. Doesn't work for me.

agreed 100%. hopefully it's a 1 week thing.

At some point they're going to have to acknowledge the existence of this Grand Slam event and book some matches.

Not sure saying simply "we're going to be in Australia" - for the first time on Dynamite since September - among all the other future show locations is going to cut it.

Why so grumpy?

 

[Cleavy]

Speedball debut next week?

I thought that might've been where the Jarrett segment was heading today after the allusion to TNA that was designed to elicit TNA chants.

It was an odd one, cos I don't see him near the title at this stage of his career given the other talent in the company.

 

[Cleavy]

feels like they're dragging and dragging this out

 

[Planet14]

I like the Jarrett storyline. Never going to main event a PPV, but a nice storyline giving him one last title shot for a marquee match on a branded Dynamite or maybe the Brisbane show.

Ah, there's always so much bad faith discussion around AEW - like saying they were ruining Ricochet, when he's more interesting than he's ever been.

I think they'll announce matches a couple of weeks out. They're not going to talk much about it to their US audiences, as they can't sell them a ticket.

The main reason it would be good to know is just to understand who'll be performing - there's a few talents that it's been a real dream to see live - Ospreay, Omega, MJF, etc. Just give me a couple of them ...

Well, don't be shitty with me for stupid comments that someone else said, that's ridiculous.

And when I've spent over $2k on this weekend already, I'm not being unreasonable in wanting something, anything announced, and the suggestion that it's "bad faith discussion" is bullshit.

Agree 100000% with you there, you have spent hard earned money and you want to know what your seeing. You don't want to spend 2K on a glorified house show.

Would you be happy to spend 2k plus to watch Jeff Jarrett in a world title match as suggested before?

They haven't announced anyone as appearing yet have they? At least with Elim Chamber in Perth people knew they were getting Rhea and they knew they were getting 2 x chamber matches. Obviously they missed out with Punk getting injured and it was flat that Seth and Cody didn't wrestle.

Would you be excited to go to this event and you have no idea who is coming? Would you be thrilled if you spent 2k plus and perhaps say Christian, Edge, Mox, Kenny, MJF and The Bucks don't come? I am not saying they won't all or some of them come but at this stage its guess work and the more time goes on it comes across as this is now just a glorified house show.

If they planned for 20-30K which clearly they did by booking a stadium and then ticket sales don't warrant it and they move it to a smaller venue, they will make less money through ticket sales and merch, do you reckon they will still send out a big squad for it considering the cost of flights, accommodation etc. Look I hope I am wrong for those going but I really can't see them send out the guys like Omega who's just come back from health issues, MJF unlikely for a "house show style event"

People who are critical of AEW surrounding this event have every right to be, its been poorly handled from start to finish with the venue change and lack of promotion.

 

[RossFC]

Is Tony Khan known for announcing matches 6-7 weeks before a show?

ROH PPV's he whips up most of the card 1-2 weeks before bar a couple.

Dynamite and Collision you might get 2 weeks notice on 1 or 2 matches.

Probably wrong on AEW PPV's but it feels like 3-4 weeks for some matches.

That would be god awful.

 

[Ry009]

AEW's target demo and appeal has always been for the 24/7 hardcore fans, so matches not being announced a month and a bit out isn't an issue, but if they put out a weak card though - that would be disappointing for a new market that they may visit once a year possibly not again. I never understood the idea to go with Suncorp though.

 

[Nicho50]

Announcing matches for shows or PPV's in the States is fine but your talking about a new market, they don't even have to announce exact matches they could just state " Appearances by Mox, MJF, Young Bucks, Okada, Darby Allin and more.

Booking suncorp it comes across like they saw the turn out for Elim Chamber in Perth and though wrestling fans will turn out for it....

Yep you bring over your best. There’ll be a lot of casual WWE fans going (I’m going with 2) whose exposure of AEW consists of the anti WWE pages on social media. If they’re going to an event headlined by fn Jeff Jarrett then they’ll never watch the product again.

 

[Planet14]

You guys are overreacting. This is AEW. Mox, Hangman, Jay White, Orange, FTR and the Acclaimed will all be there. The matches will great and everyone will get a great show.

Maybe Cope, MJF and Kenny stay home because it isn’t the big event they predicted, but AEW can’t fit everyone on one show anyway.

It’s not like Dark Order will be second from the top. And if Dark Order are there they will be in the opener and have an entertaining match in that spot.

I agree with that.

I'm not expecting MJF or Kenny or Mercedes.

But I do think we get Ospreay, and Okada and probably Cope, Hangman and Moxley, Jay White and House of Black, Orange Cassidy and Swerve. There's ludicrous amounts of talent they could bring.

Tony never announces show lineups more than a few weeks out. I genuinely don't understand why people are getting upset or assuming they're going to be shortchanged. That's just not what happens at AEW special events.

Who has ever suggested that Jeff Jarrett Ina title match would headline Brisbane??

It's ridiculous to say.

Jarrett will get a title match in Memphis or Charlotte late in the year (that he'll lose), as a goodbye.

Why do they have to announce matches? The people that want to see AEW are doing it because it's maybe a once in a lifetime chance - it's not because they want to see Mox, but won't come if it's Jay White instead.

If you just going to spend $30-50 on a cheap seat you wouldn’t really care to much about who’s coming but if you’ve forked out thousands of dollars for seats and meet and greets you would want to know what talent you getting don’t you?

Would you pay 2k to go and watch any big sports teams come out here and play a game and bring the B or C team out and leave the stars at home?

No doubt those going are still going to get a good wrestling show but personally I feel there’s a massive difference in getting a good show and getting thousand dollar plus worth of value type show.
