Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 1773

Holy crap, the segment nearly did a 1 share...it drew the same audience share as the NBA Draft did when it was on, thats nuts. Even the network shows that do 5+ million people anymore, they're all relying on a huge chunk of the 50+ audience watching. Basically nothing on TV anymore, beyond the NFL and NBA, pulls that kind of audience.

Guess I can see why they said f'it and went 40 minutes

 

damn

 

So I'm probably the only one watching ROH, but they recently matched up Trish Adora with the Infantry and now we get this sick graphic.

 

Umm...what in the fuck? I get to see indie Jeff Hardy?!

 

I feel like Jeff Hardy + GCW = big crash and burn for Jeff

 

The description just says it’s an appearance. I’m assuming similar to other legends like Sabu, Kevin Nash, etc and he’s not actually wrestling. He’s doing a concert right after the show lol

 

Yeah, I'm guessing it's just that. But deep in my heart I want to believe that we're getting Jeff vs Effy.

Edit: Yeah, confirmed just an appearance and not wrestling.

 

…JEffy if you will

 

Agreed - no chance they use Ibushi’s debut at blood and guts

 

Go to 34 seconds to shatter your personal kayfabe

also listen to this podcast if you like hardcore. it’s great

 

Bron forgot sunscreen.

 

This thread will be in shambles

 

Super impressed with Dragunov there , fun match.

 

Haven't been following AEW much at all recently

Is Nick Wayne's first match tomorrow? Or next week? Or did it get called off for some reason?

 

tonight!

 

Happy Swerve vs Nick day. Hope they go hard.

 

Probably went full time on his role in gemstones

 

Fun report from Fightful:

 

Totally down for monthly PPV’s as long as half of them are on MAX. Gimme those and the back catalog on Max please.

 

Don't need/want a ppv every month, but maybe some of the specials they run could be turned into slightly bigger events in a streaming deal.

 

Yeah i think every 2 months is the right balance. 6 a year instead of 4 a year.

 

i've like, never been disappointed or unhappy with the AEW product, but... they have 4 PPVs a year (excluding FD) that barely ever come together until they're a couple of weeks away with a 3 month onramp. not sure more is the answer here
