I think this is really cool and hopefully it gives the company a little more booking direction in between PPVs, where sometimes they get lost in the weeds.

If TNT and TBS are the same, why not put Hockey on TBS? I wonder how the ratings will be on Wednesday with Hockey and Dynamite against each other.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I imagine the super cards are like mid-PPV Special Dynamites like Winter is Coming, Fyter Fest, etc

I think getting AEW away from sports is good move, but lmao TNT is shuffling away ratings for hockey ratings. The eyes are still gonna go to the same company, but boy the difference in ratings is gonna be funny unless the NHL finally skyrockets into #1 sport status. It won't, though.

I've seen it stated that the advertising dollars from hockey pretty much trump what's spent on wrestling

Yeah, Fyter Fest at the start of July, maybe the anniversary show at the start of October, Winter Is Coming in December, then maybe an April show (I wouldn't want to make Blood and Guts annual but you could do Fight For The Fallen or have a rotating theme)

Turns out Rampage is actually a second reality show focusing on the Rhodes family, this time focusing on Cody and Brandi’s newest dog Rampage Rhodes and all of the crazy trouble he gets into

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I know WWE owns the rights to "Halloween Havoc" but AEW need to produce a Halloween themed super show now.

Gimme Orange Cassidy sleeping in a coffin prior to the main event of "The Spooky Slam" please.

TNT is going to be the sports focused network. So TBS is getting wrestling, TNT is getting sports stuff.

TBS is the higher rated network so the move is an upgrade.

I'm pretty sure one of the three initial dates they announced was a Friday and labeled a TV taping, which had people speculating. Guess this answers that!

Kind of hope this means Elevation and Dark will get trimmed down in length a little bit but I'm not sure there's really going to be a correlation.

Seems like a somewhat lateral move for AEW and I'd rather have it on TBS and not be preempted or moved a bunch for sports stuff than stay on TV and wind up with a bunch of the weird "tune in after the game, or Friday at 11pm!" stuff we had a while back. Plus, as long as it doesn't mess with AEW+ on Fite it could get moved to CourtTV and it'd be fine.

Eventually there’s got to be an HBO Max deal, right? I feel like already being under the Warner umbrella makes it a no-brainer to use Max to stream old Dynamites and PPV like WWE on Peacock

I hate that Vince owns all the WCW names because some of them were cool.

I hope that some day, Vince not being there, makes the next WWE "chairman" sell a lot of their old stuff.
