If I’m trying to get my product over with people, the audience I am going to go after are those 45 year old men who watch pro-wrestling on basic cable every Wednesday. No questions asked.

According to WrestlingInc, Zack Ryder/Matt Cardona's deal with AEW is for 5 shows in length with the potential of it being turned into a regular deal afterwards.

Jeff Cobb also had a per-show type deal but his didn't go beyond two shows but he wasn't interested in a long term deal since it could have impacted his NJPW career. |

Honestly, I feel like the best use of any person that is worthy of being made money off of is to beat the fuck out of the goofier people who were only signed to piss Cornette off (This should have been Brian Cage. or Lance Archer. or Brodie Lee.) Have them just run through them without as much as breaking a sweat. Maybe have one of their heroes (Allin or Cassidy) actually catch him off guard and come close, only for him to snap and destroy them. I'm talking about actually have them do an Unprotected Chair Shot to the head, and have the guy carted off. THEN you put them against a Cody or a Page or a Mox. And you have one of the goofs show concern for whoever like "I don't know if facing this guy is a good idea."
As a sub-thing with that, you maybe have Luchasaurus see the writing on the wall and stop doing shitty half-speed kicks. He turns on Jungleboy and becomes a monster in his own right. Marko Stunt tries to reason with the big guy, and gets shelved for his trouble. And you have a few built in stories for Luchasaurus: The revenge angle from Jungleboy. The actual stars vs. him. The inevitable Monster vs. Monster feud. As for Slurgate with Excaliber. This would be the perfect time to bring him back in sans mask once the whole thing boils over. And I will provide these booking services and more for half of what he's paying one of the Executive Vice Presidents. |

You could do that with someone, but you could also just not use the goofier people and have Brian Cage, Lance Archer or Brodie Lee destroy guys who look like they're worth a damn.

As for the goofy fuckbuckets, you can get more mileage out of some of them than you can others. Pockets would get killed off as soon as he did his schtick and ate a match ending finisher. Folks would start realizing how stupid it is. Last edited by Vastardikai; 07-31-2020 at 11:55 PM. Reason: I botched the last "Goofy Fuckbuckets." Also, what a term I have coined.

Similar to Bret with the AEW World title and Tyson with the TNT title, AEW is having Madusa present the trophy for their Women's Tag Tournament.

Glad to see Veda Scott doing commentary for the women's tourney. Hopefully leads to more screen time for her down the line. V sexy.

Woke up the next morning to watch, just to see a fucking dog show. Ugh. |

Really weird to shit on people who enjoy a show that you don't like. It's fine to not like the show but goddamn.

Was talking to a buddy who watched WCW back in the day and has now gotten into AEW.
Says he's still into Jericho, likes the Brian Cage and Taz pairing, and thinks Moxley should be a jobber instead of the champion. Didn't ask him who should be champ instead, probably should just to see. |

I don’t shit on people for liking AEW. They can’t help they have poor taste. I shit on AEW because it is poor.

Main reason that stopped was due to WWE making a very specific demand of no more dog shows on Mondays when they were in talks with USA Network to bring back RAW after their stay on Spike TV.

Because WWE in the late 90s/early 00s was incredibly unpopular. You made it very clear in your sarcastic comment that only unpopular shows get preempted for major sports like the NBA and... dog showing.

No, the point is that wrestling fans carry the perception of being uneducated losers. It’s probably pretty close to reality, given how many of them are willing to laugh at things like orange juice being dunked on someone’s head.
This is why the people who go “Wooo! Number 7 in the demos! Wrestling’s cool again!” probably need to check themselves. These people aren’t that desirable to advertisers — right, wrong or otherwise. They’re 45 year old neckbeards with bad taste, so they’re going to get bumped for the NBA, which may not have those ratings, but is going to be more appealing. Or dog shows. |
