5 belts should be the limit since a split of 3 for Men and 2 for Women is enough for the roster size they want and have the belts remain very meaningful to win and hold. |

There doesn't need to be a mid-card title in AEW.

Didn't learn much from the Kahn interview with Austin. Tag tournament once TV starts.

hope that works the article had one of her early indie matches not gonna lie, she looks more like a woman now then she did in that match. I didnt have a lot of an opinion on her match at DoN since her and Kong were out of the ring more than in it. |

Good for her. Way better for the inclusion cause than Sonny Kiss.

They have this idea that if so-and-so is over and he or she doesn't appear at a show/on TV, the "fans feel cheated" or will somehow "forget about them", so they overexpose the hell out of who is over and/or currently a champion and speed up running them into the ground. You have 100 talents on your roster, and you choose to repeatedly focus on the same 20 every week, and maybe throw in another random 10 from the leftover 80, when that time could be better served showing more of the ones who aren't getting showcased at all. They have 5 hours, and what isn't chock full of commercials are filled with the same old shit or something they've unintentionally established means nothing. Personal feelings aside and simply asking this objectively: why should I care in any way about Mojo Rawley? Everytime that Elias seems to be on the cusp of getting an actual push, he lands in another dead-end and then goes back to his "i'mm a sing a song insulting this city and get interrupted" thing that he's been doing for... how many years now? I should care more about Kingston vs Ziggler, since I have long maintained they are (or at least were years ago) the Steamboat/Flair to one another in the matches they used to have. But both guys have been so misused over such a long period of time that this isn't the "must see" match it could have and should have been... and in fact, this was an afterthought because they wanted to cynically push Ali in a clear bid for a bigger reaction for yet another Middle East show like they were doing with Jinder for India or ADR for Mexico. If NXT had 5 hours to fill a week and a PPV every 4 weeks, they would be having matches between people you don't normally see. Your champions and their PPV opponents wouldn't be talking a bunch to open every show and then touching in the main event every week. Quote:
The mistake the main roster would make is to have all the champs featured every week without allowing room for anyone else to grow. See my previous comments on the previous quote. |

When you've got 5 hours of television a week and want to put emphasis on a few different things, like a pro-wrestling company should, you almost have to feature the same people. This really is a logistical problem. There is no way for talent not to be overexposed in this environment. And yeah, they are overexposed, even if they aren't on TV every week. Finn Balor isn't more over because he's not being used -- he looks less important and he's still boring and the idea of him wrestling anyone feels played out, even if the match hasn't actually happened. It's as much the idea of content running as it is what the actual content is too.
A 5-hour product is just fatiguing. In terms of commitment. But also you can't spin that many plates -- they all end up crashing down. And you also can't spin only a few, because then it gets so fucking boring so fucking quick. |

According to the Observer, the current holdup with AEW making an official announcement regarding the debut of their weekly tv show is stuff on TNT's side related to international markets. TNT is still working on stuff for those markets and until they are done, AEW has to remain on standby.
Wednesday is the current front runner for the day of the week for the show. |

He's less important because they've established that he's less important. In NXT, his matches were a big deal, and demon appearances were "HOLY SHIT!" On main roster, he's been distilled down to "jobber unless wearing paint" Not saying keeping everyone off TV will solve all their problems. What I'm saying is they could use that time to make Finn Balor important again instead of consentrating on Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and the second coming of the HHH Reign of Terror in Shane "Best In The Wooooooorld" McMahon all the time. They have such a breadth of talent, but so few of them feel in any way important. They may even start out with so much hype and spotlight, and that fades so quickly due to indifference (any tag team callup), mishandling (Asuka going from a handicap match multi-woman murder machine to barely getting a win against Emma), overexposure (I like Rousey, and I get getting your money's worth, but she wasn't a neccessary evil weekly). And one thing they could do - they could really do - to fill up all that time? Have more matches. Yeah, not everything has to be backstage skits or multiple promos be they live or canned. Have more televised lower stakes matches and save some of those main events. 3 Hours of RAW (which, let's be honest, isn't 3 hours without all the commercial padding). There could be more matches with more guys who aren't doing shit but standing around in catering every week. Start planting seeds for them to become future stars later, and not hotshot them to the top of the card randomly one day because their ethnicity plays into travel plans. Your main event could be a tag team title match. You don't have to trot out the WHC and midcard champ. Now, granted, Brock Lesnar is at the polar end of that spectrum, but I don't really want to count him because there are other things at play with him in particular. Like, remember when we all shit on Jinder going from jobber to "main event threat" in like 3 weeks? Now, imagine if they took the time and care to build him up from then to now with baby steps and feuds and storylines and reasons to care about seeing him succeed or fail. With better writing and progression, he wouldn't be pinning R-Truth on a plane runway for a comedy angle championship; people could be looking at him like they're looking at Drew McIntyre (mostly... this whole lackey shit is diminishing him at the moment, but you get my point) and he would be a "somebody" up near the higher end of the card- maybe even a WHC contender depending on how things turned out. But that's too much like work, so when the rocket up his ass failed spectacularly, that must have been because he didn't have "it" or somesuch, and now he's back to comedy angles and rare appearances. Dammit. I had a point to sum this up with, and I got sidetracked by something else and forgot what I was going to write. |

Now, that's not to say there aren't problems with how the present people on the main roster. There absolutely are. And these things might even change if Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn are ousted. But you're still going to have this persisting problem of guys being on TV too much, because there's just simply too much TV. And Triple H is going to get so fatigued if he gets the book and he tries to put such intricate care into 5 hours of television. He might divvy it up, but it's still a lot of commitment from viewers, who are supposed to care about all of it. When you realize that you don't need to watch all of it because it doesn't matter, that becomes the habit. This is why AEW is so smart coming along now. There is money in TV and WWE needs that money. They are going to be stretched out and exposing themselves for 3-5 years (or however long those deals are). They're going to be running too much content for a long time. Plus they're pricey. Those two things together are going to be where AEW can really hit them. |

Apparently Kenny Omega likes to discuss AEW business related stuff while playing Apex Legends. Also hinted he has used video games to help recruit potential talent for the company.

They’d be crazy to have Moxley job right out of the gate to Joey Janela. I did have the thought the other day that Darby Allin upsetting Cody is a real possibility though. I hope it doesn’t happen... but something tells me it might.

I guess it's probably "wednesday night DYNAMITE" cuz they're on TNT.
