*AEW Chat*

Rusev and Nakamura are the two I've seen rumoured the most from WWE.

There's not much on the indie scene. Punk, Tenille Dashwood (Emma), Jack Swagger (If they want cross promotion with Belator), Davey Boy Smith Jr (deal would need to be worked out with MLW).

Should be interesting once we get closer to the TV start date.

Tennile just signed with Impact, so she’s no longer available.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

And now they have signed Marko Stunt. The exact opposite of what they need.

Really? Yuck

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

If hes the guy from the casino battle royal, I'd rather they didn't.....

There's a bunch of guys from that battle royale I wish they didn't sign.

Go on......

Go on......

On top of Stunt; Michael Nakazawa, Sonny Kiss, and Joey Janela. The rest I don’t know if they’re signed or not.

Luchasaurus!

I'm with Jim Cornette on him. When surrounded by gimmicks he looks stupid. When on his own or with Jungle Boy as the only gimmick, it works.

AEW vs NXT on Wednesday nights (Thursday morning for most of us)

NXT to change to a 2 hour live show to go head to head.

Interesting

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Every time I hear more about AEW, the less faith I have in the product. Though I do hope Teal Piper has a good showing in the Women’s Casino Battle Royale.

Looks like MLW will continue to be my “home” promotion.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I'm on the fence until I see the TV product.

PPV's are one thing, but the weekly grind of a TV production is another.

At this point I would call it very over hyped and while the "us against the world" mentality is nice right now it can't sustain a weekly show.

At some point they need more substance rather than "indie darlings and random diverse gimmicks" and they're yet to show it.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

It says a lot that most of the hype has been around Jericho, Dustin & Cody Rhodes, and to a degree Moxley. The big indie darlings of the Young Bucks & Omega have really disappeared into the background.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

I love omega but not sure he translates well in to American audiences

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Go on......

You can now add Orange Cassidy to that list...

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I like Luchasaurus from what I've seen.
The rest are all meh. Can't take Nakazawa, Stunt or Cassidy serious.
Can't say I'm too familiar with Sunny Kiss

Joey Janela is probably the best of the group (behind Luchasaurus)

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I can’t take Janela serious at all. All he does is stunts and smokes.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Any news on Aussie tv coverage?

Would love to see aew do an event over here next year

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Nope. And if I’m honest, I wouldn’t expect much in the short to medium term either. When Impact was drawing over 1m viewers in the US, the best they did for a long time was having Xplosion on OneHD.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Ugh..the aew ppvs are $20 US a pop on fite tv. That’ll get old very quickly ‍
