That 150k viewers was enough to make THE GAME, THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN, THE KING OF KING'S, take his program and run to a different night, so clearly it meant something

Also hockey pulls jackshit in ratings. Nobody in the history of the world has ever made a decision based on the fact that the Winnipeg Jets VS the Ottawa Senators controls Wednesday night

Edted for divisional accuracy!!!

You do realize you sound dumb, right? And I don't throw personal insults around lightly, but that is the only rational conclusion if you think Triple H controls the entire USA Network.

Also, Pro Wrestling Illustrated has a forum now? You think I'm on another wrestling forum talking about AEW lol

Can anyone explain why USA would move nxt to Tuesdays? How can't that be viewed as a sign of defeat?

rez 03-03-2021 06:53 PM

It should make for an interesting Jericho podcast.

USA Network finally has something for Wednesdays that typically generates better ratings and ad money than WWE programming so whatever leverage WWE had for that day went up in smoke after NBC made the announcement.

Can't really move NXT to Thursdays or else they'd run into a similar situation as RAW with NFL competition during the later half of the year. They still are going to get hurt by NBA competition but that's usually the lesser of the two evils for WWE. AEW already has shown they can compete well against NBA games so the same should be possible for NXT on Tuesdays assuming they can boost their key demo and younger viewership to much higher levels.

Wouldn’t generate higher ratings than wrestling, but I’m sure advertisers respect hockey fans more than wrestling fans. WWE isn’t moving NXT away from Wednesday nights willingly — it was doing its job just fine. They didn’t even try using someone like AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan down there if it were about ratings.

I'm not CRAZY about the "Horseman" revivals we seem to have happening just because they probably won't be able to use that trademark. We've seen that a bunch throughout history with Evolution and the TNA version that I can't remember the name for. JJ couldn't even get into the ring so I can't see him sticking around. In that case Tully can stay the manager and they can get a big name to play lead. I don't k ow if Spears is the right guy.

Didn’t they both appear on NXT when they first started trying to use Raw and Smackdown guys to try to hype NXT and it didn’t do shit?

screech 03-04-2021 01:16 PM

I remember AJ appearing with Gallows and Anderson to build Survivor Series (or maybe War Games?) like two years ago.

drave 03-04-2021 02:44 PM

Appearing with who? :lol:

The same company that just gave Vince another Billion Dollars also owns the rights to NHL games.

I'd rather have a Billion dollars and air on Tuesday then go head to head with flippy nerds and WWE rejects :rofl:

Not like NXT was so sad they get 100,000 less viewers that they begged to move nights.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of celebrating AEW's great victory though, am I right????? :roll:

At least in AJ Styles' case, he showed up there during the three brand warfare build for Survivor Series that year and wrestled a tag match at a NXT show.

AEW officially signed another one of their notable regulars from their AEW Dark series.

Quote:

AEW Dark regular "Captain" Shawn Dean is now officially a signed member of the promotion's roster.

AEW president and CEO Tony Khan posted a tweet on Friday announcing that Dean has signed with AEW. "Thank you for your service to the USA, @ShawnDean773, + thank you for everything you’ve done for @AEW to help us thrive through the pandemic," Khan tweeted. "Your consistent hard work, positivity + reliability have made you so valuable to #AEW; now it’s my honor to officially welcome you aboard!"

Dean, who is a veteran of the United States Navy, has regularly appeared on AEW Dark since making his AEW debut in March 2020. He's also wrestled on Dynamite twice.

Dean and Carlie Bravo are part of a tag team called The Infantry in AEW. Bravo is a veteran of the United States Marines.

It's been the same 1.5-1.6 million fans between NXT and AEW since Day 1 and I doubt that's changing

SammyG 03-05-2021 06:58 PM

Actually getting together with a group to catch the PPV this weekend. First time that's happened in a while. Looking forward to who the surprise signee is.

Yeah I'm not sure either show will see a huge bump, but at least there won't be a "look who won the war for 800k" celebratory tweets every Thursday.

Yep, even that felt better. Just gonna let it marinate even.

Damian Rey 2.0 03-06-2021 10:53 AM

Lemme take that back a bit. I'm disappointed if he's the big reveal. Maybe he shows up in the ladder match. That could be fun if he can actually go. He looks fucking ripped so maybe he's on whatever the Rock is on.

But if he's the big signing then I'll still be disappointed.

Lock Jaw 03-06-2021 10:56 AM

Can't wait for Kurt Angle vs Sting!!!!!!

Maluco 03-06-2021 10:58 AM

I think it’s Christian. Guy who reported he was under contract, got it wrong.

Angle would be terrible. It was painful to watch him wrestle in his last run. He is hunched over, has arm problems and can’t even straighten his legs properly. He has to turn his whole body just to look round.

Not only would it be a terrible idea to have him wrestle again, it would be irresponsible. No one wants to see that in 2021..

Show clearly said “hall of fame worthy” and Angle is already in the HoF.

Be funny if Angle comes out only to be attacked by another surprise

swerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve




It'd be Abbas Jadidi to take him out.

screech 03-06-2021 11:30 AM

Maybe Kurt is training for the Olympics again. Wasn't he trying for another go at that a few years back?

Fignuts 03-06-2021 11:43 AM

To be fair he looks in way better shape now. He's definitely put a lot of work in for this

Evil Vito 03-06-2021 12:16 PM

I can understand WHY he wants one last run. Not that he could move worth a shit in 2019 but he had a very undignified end to his in-ring career. Him losing his retirement match was fine, that's how it's supposed to go...but who the hell wanted to see him against Baron Corbin? Moreover, it was basically a 5 minute squash 6 hours into a 7.5 hour WrestleMania, everyone was long ready to go home by then.

But as much as he's worked on his physique, not sure the mobility is gonna be there.

Evil Vito 03-06-2021 01:18 PM

If it’s not Angle it’s kinda brilliant for him to capitalize on the rumors by putting out that teaser, could end up being an ad for his nutrition company or something.

slik 03-06-2021 01:45 PM

If the surprise is Kurt Angle I think Tony Khan over-hyped it. Still looking forward to the show on Sunday, the card is really good.
