It took years for WWE to build up the division to where they are today with 6-7 hours of TV per week to do it between Raw, SD, and NXT.

Don't discount the benefit of NXT pre-TV too.

hoping that AEW stacking the deck with more and more producers means Tony can flat out leave 1 or 2 shows outside of Dynamite to other people. I think Hero/Danielson/OC doing more stuff with ROH and Collision would be absolutely fine.

I do wonder if Dark and Elevation especially helped act as a psuedo-developmental for the company, it's where you first saw a lot of wrestlers who would be signed later, including Willow and Skye Blue and so on. Like the matches were usually squashes but it was fun to see fresh faces and speculate who might get "called up".

Like right now, all the AEW shows want to have notable, established names on them to get eyeballs, Rampage is maybe lowest priority but they still can't neglect it entirely. And while Tony has more freedom with ROH I don't think he wants it to just be the undercard.

Tony has been delegating for months and months now. He has the final say but there are so many people in his ear getting their ideas through. The MJF/Cole stuff is basically 100% Max, he has a ton of freedom.

Now its hardly a guarantee that yhis match will go down as advertised, but in case you were curious too, I checked and Jerry Lynn last competed in March of 2013, more than a decade ago.

A major match is being discussed for AEW All In, and it features a New Japan Pro Wrestling Star.

Fightful Select can confirm that IWGP United States Champion Will Ospreay is being planned and is expected to wrestle in his home country of England at AEW All in. The match currently being planned isn’t a rematch with Kenny Omega, however.

We’re told by NJPW sources that the plan relayed to them in July was Ospreay competing against former AEW, WCW, ROH and WWE World Champion Chris Jericho. We’re told Don Callis is factored into the equation somehow, but we’re unsure of which side he’ll be on. He’s been courting Chris Jericho on screen on AEW Dynamite for weeks, but accompanied Ospreay at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.

I guess Callis already tied himself to Ospreay at Forbidden Door so if Jericho rebuffs him he can get Ospreay vs Jericho made as punishment? Seems like that'd be the story.

Maybe someone who was there can confirm or deny this but the crowd seemed utterly baffled by Gravity's gestures and didn't react at all to the "i'm a slow space man" thing. Didn't really do it for me either. He seemed alright but nothing about him really wowed me.

Makes sense. I think Ospreay's like the one guy from NJPW that Jericho wanted to work with who he hasn't in any capacity. (Honestly, he's been pretty selective, with only EVIL feeling a bit of an outlier and that was just to get Jericho a title defence before he dropped it back to Naito)

I was trying to figure out who the gently caress gravity was and wound up on cagematch reading about some south african wrestler who used the name for a bit

Did another search and oh. He’s bandido’s brother. That makes sense, and is better than my unfounded stoner thinking that gravity was someone under a mask to gently caress with pac.

It was like 90% of the crowd’s first time seeing him so reactions may have muted because of that. People around me thought the gravity walk was funny at least and laughed when he did it.

He’s not super dynamic to me but seems fine. I think he’s only been wrestling for 3 years or something so definitely room to grow.
