Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 969

Imo:

World champ scene rn should consist of: Bryan Danielson, Miro, MJF, Claudio, Hangman, Cole (when healed), Samoa Joe

TnT scene: wardlow, starks, hobbs, andrade, darby, dante martin, skorpio sky, eddie kingston, Jay Lethal, JB

My god, even without punk and the elite, aew's roster is just so frikkin good.

 

Wholesome content

 

Find a way to make that Atlantic Belt Pac has mean something & I’m down with that list.

 

I think pac will hold onto it until WK. I could see him dropping it to someone in new Japan

 

The all atlantic belt could be used as some sort of "aew ambassador"-belt around the world

 

Stfu geek

 

This is so wonderful

 

I love him

 

Gunther vs Sheamus gets 5 stars from Meltzer

 

Wonder how many stars the backstage fight got.

 

Those dudes deserve it tbh.

 

Welp, I can officially eat my words that Sheamus didnt have 5* match ability left in him...

 

Something this thread can get behind, someone on Reddit called tonights match

FTR Bald vs. BCC Bald

 

Called it from the beginning

 

Punk is such a jerk off it’s unreal tbh.

 

Fair. Kind of hard to work everything in with the Ring of Honor belts too. I thought they could make it their version of the IC Title since I don't know what the plan is with the TNT belt if they’re going to move Wardlow up the card.

 

Hmmm. As a European i'd love the idea that if AEW ever tours internationally, they could have defended the belt against local talent at each show

 

All Out did between 135-142k buys

Mid range number for them. Lowest this year, but I believe its higher than anything pre-All Out 2021

 

less than Forbidden Door? Ouch.

looks like the terrible build hurt this time around but I bet Full Gear tops that.

 

it did better than forbidden door. my bad

 

aew ppv's tend to suffer from too much overcrowding. there's no reason why there should be 12-15 matches total in one day (buy in + ppv). it's already exhausting. and after TWO wwe shows before it in the same weekend, i felt the fatigue even more this go round.

i can already imagine being in jersey for a 5 hr full gear and the show ending at fucking midnight. ouch.

 

This seems like their number...think Revolution did the same, Full Gear did 145k I believe. I think only DoN got to like 155k.

950k-1m viewers a week, 135-150k PPV buys...pretty good overall and probably their ceiling barring a major shakeup in their TV deal or showtimes
