I’m going to Rampage on Friday since the arena is about 10 minutes away from me.
Double or Nothing, Dynamite, Rampage… I’m fucking spent. |

MJF=ratings
He’s absolutely got to be the guy to take the belt off of Punk. There’s nobody better. |

Drop off at 8:30 is weird... last 3 mins of MJF promo... assuming a bunch of people stopped watching right after the promo
Weird that a Miro segment would be the lowest one though... did the hockey game start at 8:30 or something |

Maybe Noid is right and these worked-shoots are poison to the section of AEW fans that are casual viewers? Maybe a bunch of parents heard MJF say “shit” half a dozen times and we’re like “nah, that’s going off”.

I normally like MJF despite me thinking hes a cheap heat guy from time to time but I'm not too interested in TK vs. MJF ATM.
TK isnt an onscreen guy so you need someone to be TKs guy if there gonna go this route. Ironically the perfect guy was probably Cody, you coud really do some fun stuff with that dynamic maybe even getting Cody to a World title via it at some point. |

Miro wasn’t announced beforehand and Johnny Elite came out to open up that segment of the show. So I could see viewers going meh and missing out on the Miro return. Should’ve had Elite come out during the break and Miro’s pre match vignette open up the return from commercials.

There could have been a lot of people tuning in to see CM Punk as the new champ.... who then tuned out after he wasn't talking but was in a pointless 6-man match instead.... should have had him talk right away, and by himself....

That first full ad was a killer. Guessing the marks all went off to clean themselves up and some never came back.

I agree. I expected a 20 opening segment where he cuts a very heart felt promo about being the champ and blah blah blah. I think they missed the mark there. Could’ve had his 6 man tag main event. I know that’s a WWE style of programming but for your new champ I’d absolutely do that.

Opening the show with a long promo is 100% something that makes me think of WWE.
No, don't do that. Not because WWE or any other promotion does it, it just..... 99% of the time is a fucking snorefest. Big Promo Big Interruption Big tag team match playa Fuckery in said tag match See you next week where we'll change it up to non-title. |

I know that they don't want to be like WWE and hate to open with a promo..... but there is sometimes when it just makes sense, you know?

Opening with a promo occasionally or even every other week would differentiate themselves from WWE who open with a promo 95% of the time. You need to go where the story takes you.

Yeah.... especially when you have a big PPV with a new champ who might draw some eyeballs back. Eyeballs that may have tuned in to see his debut, but then tuned out after it went nowhere.... but then heard he won the title so tuned in to see the fallout....
I didn't tune in I guess, but I did actively go to their YouTube channel and seek out video... and laughed when I found that the video "The New AEW World Champion Kicks Off The Summer of Punk" was just his entrance (shortened by FTR entrance) and a pointless match.... not a great way to follow up his big win. I get it that they want to be a more "wrestling oriented" company, but there are times when you just need to have a promo segment. |

This is a big problem with AEW. They are so focused on what the WWE does/doesn’t do that will avoid things that make sense. |
