Absolute must listen to Talk is Jericho with Tony Khan. One of the things that makes Jericho a good interviewer is he's kind of a kiss rear end in every interview (at least the wrestling ones) but this goes up to 11 with TK. I'm sure it's somewhat genuine since Jericho does go out of his way to do a lot in AEW, but it's really funny where he'll credit TK for all of this stuff and some of it TK accepts the credit for and some he makes sure to credit talent for taking the ball and running with it, etc. So it's funny on that level and then there's a lot of stories about running in the pandemic, where various ideas came from and most importantly that the Orange Cassidy trunk spot was planned for the original Lucha Bros vs Best Friends Parking Lot Fight that got cancelled.

Oh my God Dave Meltzer gets another fake wife on Observer Radio today  "Oh gently caress I could be blackballed out of this entire industy." Edit: Also Dave explaining the Xia Li storyline and the difference between the NXT and AEW universe (dragons exist in one, not in the other) made me realize I wanna hear Dave recap like Dragon Ball Z or One Punch Man or something. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Feb 4, 2021 |

listened to last night's Saiyan Observer Radio, Dave had some good poo poo to say for all of us Hyenaholics: "Of all the guys in the Z-Fighters, I would never recommend anyone necessarily leaving. But I would strongly recommend him leaving it’s not even funny. He needs to get out of there. He is so talented. If he left, he would do great and he is an ex-Desert Bandit. He would do freaking great. They would probably want him back and they would respect him a lot more. I don’t see Lord Yamcha. I don’t even know where he is anymore. I know he’s on the Dragon Team and I know he’s working the World Martial Arts Tournaments but it’s like he’s non-existent.”

Dave: This Kaido, they've been building him up as the big monster heel for awhile but they still don't quite think the audience is gonna buy it so they bought in Big Mom to make sure they're covered if things don't work out. Luffy got his new Finisher over though so the mentality is, you know, they beat Kaido and then he can, he can finally get that win over Big Mom at the Elbaf show they've been promoting forever now.... Bryan: Mmmhm. So anyway the question was do you think Edge and Christian will form a tag team again.

Excalibur (I'm pretty sure) identified him as the #1 contender for Mox's IWGP US Championship. That's all the context that's needed!

I think the idea is that the mythical casual won’t know what iwgp means, and will be so spooked by this combination of letters they don’t understand that they will retreat into the forest never to be seen again rather than just, y’know, googling it. Or just waiting to see what this guy will do on aew tv.

There should be one commentary role dedicated to explaining what pro wrestling is for the whole show. preferably it should take less than 7 seconds to explain but it absolutely cannot take more than 9 seconds. every single wrestling article on wikipedia used to have a pretty good template for this but they stopped doing it. i remember when you could visit the page for 1995's summerslam and figure out what it was even if you've never heard of hulk hogan. That's what you need on tv

What gets me about the constant obsession with explaining the the mythical casual viewer is that other forms of media don’t do that. If a new villain shows up at the end of an episode of Supernatural or whatever, they don’t immediately explain everything about who it is and what their motivation is. Laying everything out anytime something new happens is just bad storytelling.

Does the casual viewer even exist and would they care about this? Like, real sports have lots of casual viewers because you can sit down and watch a sport with no real knowledge of the teams, players, or how the teams are doing and it's 100% fine. Wrestling is serial storytelling so if you're just watching it every once and a while that way you're going to understand you don't understand everything. No different than jumping around episodes of the Sopranos or something. And if you are a casual fan what would make Kenta different from Mox or from Eddie or from Fenix if this is one of your first times watching AEW?

I guess I've seen so much anecdotal reporting of people new to wrestling getting into AEW and watching. Also how the AEW ratings are hurt much more than NXT by big non-wrestling events. Hard to say without lots of specific data though I guess.

Outside of maybe the Superbowl almost everything on TV or streaming doesn't pull in casual viewers. Media todays is about focused audiences and really about the demo (more so than the past)
