I can't really get into the Waiting Room. Both of those segments have dragged on way too long and no one involved is funny enough to justify it. The monologues are especially bad.

I’m not sold on the Waiting Room as a segment quite yet, but I think it’s a positive that the second one was better than the first and they’re clearly workshopping it live in the lowest stakes spot that still matters.

Giving Rebel room to work as the sycophantic co-host was the main improvement over last week's installment, I think

Even when Britt's jokes don't land, it's still funny because of Rebel busting out the dumbest, fakest laugh imaginable

I think it works better as a mid/low-card interview vehicle than a comedy segment. Seeing some personality from TH2 and Tay was fun.

Rebel is definitely the MVP

Yeah, I’m 100% confident they’ll iterate it to a place where it’s a high point on Dynamite.

They're trying things and getting better. And frankly that's all I can ask.

i like the segment fine but i agree with this and it's awesome to know that AEW will grow something or build it into something awesome or torpedo it if it doesn't come together because why force something or run with an angle that's not working when there are so many other ideas and things to do

I love that assurance i feel about the company

If anything, AEW has successfully established the expectation that it shouldn’t be a hair on fire moment if something isn’t a direct hit right away.

2 hours into dark, is it acceptable to watch at 1.5x speed? (Luther will look even better)

I think I'm subconsciously biased against the Waiting Room because I'm still scarred from the atrocity that was nWo Nightcap.

That's what it currently reminds me of, but this thread is right that it could get better with time and more reps. One thing the company needs to work on across the board is not letting segments go too long.

I have faith that they'll either fix it or scrap it, they've been pretty good about that so far.

It also helps that it's on Dark so it's not like the show has a finite amount of runtime. It's the right place to play around with stuff and see how it lands

Nightcap was one of my most hated recurring segments ever, I don't think it could get that bad even if they tried.
