Jericho’s mystery partners being the Lucia Brothers or anyone else that has already been on the shows would be a huge mistake. If that’s the case, just announce them. Don’t make it clear right out of the gate that your “surprises” don’t actually mean anything. Only gonna make them come off more TNA-like.
It’s gotta be someone new and preferably someone with a little bit of a name to a casual fan. No clue who they could get. Weren’t Gallows and Anderson’s contracts supposed to be up soon? |

LAX makes the most sense if its someone not currently in AEW. Supposedly they still have a few people signed that haven't been revealed yet for various reasons. |

I still say, if they are in anything resembling shape, Storm and Credible.
Conversely, any decent level internet famous team will work. Heatseekers like I mentioned previously, the Carnies, or the Classic Connection (with Zane.) |

According to Cody Rhodes, AEW's debut tv show hit sold out status although more seats likely will become available for sale after they finish production plans for the show.

I don’t think their best option for their debut on mainstream television is two old guys who very few people ever gave a shit about.

Pretty sure they're not even on good terms right now, due to how everything went down during AEW's formation.
And that's before you even get into NJPW's partnerships with ROH and CMLL. |

Depending on how "important" they make this match, it'll be interesting to see which direction they go with the mystery. If it's 50 year old wwe/ecw/wcw mid carders than fears of them being TNA 2.0 will go into overdrive.

Well Jericho has commented “you won’t believe” who he got to team up with him which puts more pressure on them to deliver something good.

It's going to be Vince & Shane isn't it? Or Hogan and HHH?
The reaction would be priceless and also potentially dangerous in terms of potential for a riot. The result would be awful of course, because then we wouldn't be getting a potentially actual quality WWE alternative that we're all hoping it will become. Sure, the odds are obviously essentially zero that it's the case, but it would still be hilarious and brilliant (but also frustrating and disappointing) if this was all a huge swerve job by everyone involved. |

I'd like to see Cain Velasquez as a hired gun of Jericho's. It would be nice if Rusev had his contract quietly expire and just leaked that he was having time off and showed up in the main event of the first AEW show.

According to Nick Jackson, AEW is looking at a potential crowd size of around 12k for their debut tv episode. They already sold around 10k tickets and will have around an extra 2k seats for sale once the production holds are removed.
Also revealed they were initially estimating around 5k-6k for ticket sales for their tv debut. Quote:

AEW headed to Boston and Philly for weeks 2 & 3, a 7k and 10k seat arena.

Is "Boston" code for Lowell and they're grabbing the memorial auditorium like NJPW is?
Or somewhere else I don't know about. |

Open up with the Capital One Arena and go to a couple college spots for the next shows.
Sounds about right. I guess if it really grows and there's a bigger demand for tickets they might actually grab the bigger venues. |

I felt that there was entirely too many matches where guys were blowing their loads and too many high spot kick outs and too many matches essentially being the same style of match with very little selling. Outside of matches involving Cody, Jericho & Moxley; everybody else seems to be striving for The Young Bucks match where there are way too many hurricanrana's and tornado DDT's and high spots that lead to meaningless 2 counts. I watched the entirety of the shows. It is not just the Young Bucks. There were moves that were used to obliterate an opponent yet the same opponent kicks out easily. This happened way too often. I feel AEW needs more of this variation because a lot of it just feels like more of the same. |

Based on recent trademark filings, AEW might be considering another potential name for their weekly tv show. Could also just be the name for a potential future ppv event as well.

Still wondering if we get a Kong v Kong match at All Out or if they'll just build it up more.
I've asked this before, but can either of them still get it done in a 1 on 1 match? Awesome Kong I haven't even seen in a match in years, so although I used to love her I'm wondering if shes still got it. |

Also, I agree with @realdavewadding, the possible Ivelisse signing is good. Shocked WWE let her go so easily.
