Every fan being a smart mark is a problem. It's because they've chased off so many people who are sick of being insulted by no one putting any fucking effort in. It's not the sole reason, but when you cannot believe in this shit, even if you don't believe it, then it's hard to get emotionally invested at all. You don't need to rub people's faces in it, which you seem to agree with it, so we're really just talking about degrees here, but it absolutely hurts wrestling that it's turned into such a...lazy presentation. |

Wow, Ryan Satin found someone with less sense than his hand. Eh, she's alright, but her thinking of herself as a "hot girlfriend" and that she counts the number of times she has sex ruins whatever she has going for her.
And Cornette's jab is obviously more because obviously someone has accused Ryan Satin of being a creep (big surprise there) so it's turnabout on the accusations against him. There are actually clever mechanics in there, even if "you can't get laid" is such a weird insult. Then in comes the girlfriend with her "Nuh-uh! He could totally be a creep." Cool. |

I watched the Roman Reigns segment where he reveals Paul Heyman.
No problem with the move at all, but the entire segment was Roman talking in WWE branded soundbytes. Fortunately, he has a booming, powerful voice to kind of get away with it, but ughhh, no wonder I can't watch at all. |

Guys, Dave Meltzer said WWE is going to reair NXT on Syfy, not because they are going to get paid for it, and not because some of the fans might not be able to watch it a day earlier in the week.
Nope, they are going to air a rerun of the previous day episode because they are super scared AEW will get better ratings unopposed. Just like they got a better rating unopposed last Thursday. Oh wait, they didn't though, but plans change, that will be $11.99. He's such a good journalist! |

Considering NXT has been counter-programming AEW a lot since both started their war, reairing the shows on Wednesdays makes sense on their end.
WWE gets Tuesday unopposed while trying to dent AEW's numbers on Wednesday. |

Watching payback from 2017. Sheamus is in the tag title match with Cesaro vs Hardys. Cole runs off Sheamus' accomplishments in WWE and called him underappreciated. Fast forward 3.5 years and he did it again to Sheamus. Thought it was funny since he's done even less (some tag title runs with Cesaro) since he said it the first time
Also a few other odd notes Payback in 17 was Raw brand with a US Title match from SD (last night was basically RAW with a universal title match from SD) 3.5 years is long enough for me to completely forget Austin Aries was in WWE. |

Yep, WWEvil. Guess AEW and TNT didn't think it was a good idea to run on Tuesdays after Smackdown moved to Friday's because of _____. |

Jesus Christ, dude
WWE started putting NXT on USA only a few weeks before AEW was scheduled to begin airing on TNT.
(Also re-airing shows is not a new thing in TV in general. You pick the weirdest shit to use as a "gotcha.") |

Originally it was going to be a large Rat (seemingly couldn't find a cage big enough for Heyman to fit into), then they didn't know what it was going to be, he pitched multiple ideas including having a tiny woman be in the cage for a single appearance and that she was in the cage for protection (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyoti_Amge). In the end they just went with a mechanical Spider which he reckons it was meant to be from the start. Last edited by Gerard; 08-31-2020 at 05:13 PM. |

Once talks with TNT started to point to an actual TV deal being made, they trademarked Wednesday afterwards since TNT has NBA games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. NXT probably would have went on Tuesdays had AEW got a weekly Tuesday deal since there were some speculation of the possibility NXT moving to that night when WWE was shopping the brand to interested networks. |

That's not what happened. AEW got the day and timeslot they got based on what TNT offered them. It just happened to be the same day NXT has aired their show on WWE Network. USA Network having lost Smackdown came in with an offer to get NXT for 2 hours for about 20 times less than Fox paid for Smackdown. Yes, the NXT deal happened a few weeks before AEW was set to debut, because guess what, that is the week USA lost Smackdown. AEW's original debut date was planned to be on October 1st, 2019, the exact week WWE would be moving Smackdown to Friday nights. Their plan was to absorb the fans that watched wrestling on Tuesday nights as soon as there was no more Tuesday Night wrestling. Because they couldn't get Tuesdays from TNT has nothing to do with WWE, that entire narrative that AEW is getting picked on by WWE because they are scared of AEW is bullshit. Vince will take money for his content. It's why Fox Sports has classic WWE, it's why NBC's streaming service Peacock has WWE content, it's why Hulu gets next day episodes of Raw and Smackdown, and it's why Vince will take money from SyFy to reair the previous day episode of NXT. Hell maybe I am wrong, maybe Vince is so afraid of AEW that he somehow convinces network presidents to not only put his show on the air, but to also pay him for the favor. |

Right, on their own Network. They didn't go on USA until they had to compete with AEW.
The NBA is a big draw for TNT, so it wouldn't matter what show was coming there. It was going to take a backseat of sorts. When the TV talks ramped up, AEW realized this and moved to Wednesday because it made more sense. There are things to crap on AEW for, but this weird schedule thing you're fixated on isn't one of them. |
