Lol..

 

[Duffman]

Huge game changing news according to Bryan Alvarez lol

I respect the hell out of Jeff Jarrett's ability to secure a bag. He is the ultimate carney and I use that term endearingly.

But Tony Khan, seriously bruh? WTF

 

[UVA_Guy81]

So Jarrett was the big surprise? Meh. A surprise would’ve been seeing Miro come out of the witness protection program.
Colt Cabana coming back against Jericho had to be a big FU to Punk.
A guy from Japan going for the All Atlantic championship on a show very few care about. Still not enough to get me to watch.
Hobbs joining the ROH stable when there’s no ROH show to be found is a waste.

I'm not sure if Hobbs is actually in the stable. They haven't made it clear. So far, it seems like he's just taking advantage of the situation to beat down Wardlow to go after the TNT title whenever Wardlow comes out to help Joe.

Really excited about that feud. Two AEW talents with big upside. Lot of potential.

I thought his promo was great and he has a lot of experience as an executive. Good pick up but it was strange to see it hyped to Alvarez like a game-changer. Maybe they're desperate for ratings. I think there was a World Series game last night

If he was just a backstage stage pick up, I might agree. But there's no reason to have Jeff Jarrett taking up time on TV and wrestling matches when you've got people like Miro or Ricky Starks that are sitting at home for weeks. They've had issues managing to get talent on TV (not just those two) all this year and they just keep signing people.

I don't anticipate him as a weekly fixture or wrestling on the show regularly. My guess is he's a mouthpiece for Lethal's group and works in a backstage role.. something along the lines of Billy Gunn. I think he has value there.

Good seeing Shibata out there tonight. Fun match with him and OC

He was worth it just for the banana nosed circus comment alone

But yes that is not a big surprise add

 

[wildturkey]

Awesome news. Hopefully Jake pops up more often now



Also, seems like the popular prediction is Regal is gonna turn on Mox and join MJF at Full Gear.

I don’t hate it in theory. But mjf doesn’t really need a manager

He doesn't. I hope they don't do it because it'll just be a waste of BCC. They formed, did something for a month or so with JAS and then aren't really doing much. Like last night Mox gets jumped by the firm and they don't even come out. They've been teasing some friction with Danielson and the rest of the group, etc. It's a good grouping, just keep them together. It's way too soon to split Regal off with someone else, especially a guy like MJF that doesn't need him

 

[futballiscool]

If MJF and Regal is the plan I'm guessing they hype up MJF leaving in 2024 since Regal is close with HHH

Yeah. I get it.

I would keep them together

This is an ugly rating. I hope there's something big planned for the PPV because the show desperately needs momentum...

Meh. It's one show. What matters more is if it becomes a weeks long trend. Like it literally says in the tweet its the lowest since June. Well the product hasn't been all that much different since June yet they've been pulling 900s to 1 mil consistently throughout.

I'm not a ratings expert but those numbers to me are a huge red flag. In episodic television the rating isn't just about one week but they're a reflection of how viewers feel about the show over the months leading to the number. They're cold right now

I agree. You don’t want those types of numbers for a go home show. It started low and ended lower. I could understand it more if it was something major going on in sports or the news but there really wasn’t on Wednesday night. It makes me interested in seeing what this ppv’s numbers are going to be because there’s really not a lot on the show that I’m all that invested in.
