I'm getting my second shot tomorrow but that's cutting a bit close for me. I'll get to see AEW in person in July, at least!

Also, nervous about the side effects of this second shot because I've heard they can be very miserable. Or none at all! Who knows! It stinks!

When I got my second shot, the next day I felt aching and worn down for most of the day, but nothing worse than what I get from a mild cold. The arm I got the shot in hurt like gently caress, though.

That day was also a Wednesday, so AEW and pizza made it better.

I sincerely hope that is something AEW can do long term with movie theaters. Cause while I'm not sure I want to spend 2-3 hours in a dark room with wrestling fans I don't know, I do know that they would hold similar shows of big boxing matches in movie theaters and those crowds would get rowdy! Pretty neat atmosphere I remember, though this was back before theaters were commonly offering booze at concession stands.

I've never been to a wrestling show at a theater but I did see two UFC ppvs at a theater back in the early 2010s and the crowd was actually super chill and actually wanted to watch the fights. Paying $20 cuts down on some of the hooting sports bar types, maybe.

I don't know if the same vibe would rein at an AEW show in 2021, and my local theater isn't carrying it anyway!

I used to go to WWE PPVs a lot in the early 2000s and it was usually pretty fun. I would def do this in a theatre that had beer/alcohol once it's safe to go to theatres in my area again.

Huh.

Wonder why the move and if it's a good sign, bad sign, or not a sign of anything. Is TBS doing poorly and they think AEW can help boost it? Or do they need to make room on TNT for hockey stuff?

Edit: Ah yeah, the NY Post article mentions:

NY Post posted:

AEW has been on TNT since Oct. 2, 2019 and has experienced ratings success, being one of the top Wednesday shows on cable weekly in the 18-49 demo. WarnerMedia already having the rights to the NBA and recently acquiring the rights to NHL games did factor into moving Dynamite to TBS. Wednesday has traditionally been a night to air the NHL.

it's a lesser station but not by much. certainly less prestige but i don't think that will matter too much for a wrestling show audience here

Until then, the two-hour weekly “Dynamite” show will add a third hour on Fridays, “Rampage,” premiering at 10 p.m. on Aug. 13 on TNT.

Until then, presence on TNT remains robust in 2021 with the addition of the new hour-long series “AEW: Rampage.” Debuting on August 13 at 10 p.m. ET, “AEW: Rampage” is a third hour of high-octane wrestling featuring the world renowned stars of AEW.

TBS is available in about half a million more households, if that (90 million vs 89.5 million).

What does this mean for the TNT Title though?

So, just to make sure I have everything straight.

- Rampage premieres on TBS later this year.
- Dynamite moves to TBS next year.
- We're getting four Clash-style supercards on TNT per year starting next year.

Sound right?

The TBS championship???
Also I hope some Freeview channel in the UK picks it up, but I get the sense itv is much less enthused about wrestling after their box office thing collapsed.

Gotcha.

Anyway, this is pretty much a lateral move, although I will miss stuff like being able to draw reference to Nitro by talking about THE FIRST TIME BLAH BLAH BLAH ON TNT IN TWENTY YEARS! like with Sting or Nagata. I mean, I know WCW had a show on TBS too, but still. Myah.

lmao if the TNT Title has to change again.

They can just say Turner instead of TNT and it’ll mean the same, no-one will care outside of a few Vincels tweeting “HACKTCHUALLY,”
