Now specifically seems like inopportune time to announce a UK tour. Aren't case numbers spiking there?

Get a list of every right wing politician in America and that's the first few pages. I don't have time to get you the rest, it's very long.

Also it's not like the secret, it's passive, because that is how time and death work so I don't have to do fake magic. I just gotta wait.

Yep. And to be honest that is the one concern any of my friends have, double vaxed or no. At the same time there are a lot of AEW people coming over in November for convention appearances so it seems like no smoke without fire sort of thing.

I hope Bryan Danielson brings back The Dazzler from Saturday Morning Slam. I remember everyone especially in this forum would say that Bryan couldn't talk but he was one of the best promos in WWE both as a face and a heel.

There are multiple continuums to being a good promo; there are people who can spin really good lines and have really good, quickly improvised reactions to things, and there are people who can act in such a way that they make you believe they very genuinely mean what they are saying. Every once in awhile you'll luck into an Eddie Kingston or a CM Punk that does both. The former was never Bryan's strong suit, but he turned into one of the best at the latter.

Britt and Jungle Boy have been advertised for some UK comic con this fall for months, so almost certainly built around that.

I don’t know why anyone would have an expectation for COVID be reimplemented anywhere given all the available evidence on how capital has responded so far.

Anyone else starting to really wish Rampage was 2 hours? They do manage to cram in a lot in the first hour of Dynamite but there's so much going on with what appears to be a whole hell of a lot more coming too. I guess it's probably still better to have less and leave people wanting more so they splurge on a PPV, especially hour long go-home Friday night Rampages :getin:

I know it's a cliche but I think AEW has earned a 'wait and see' to find out what they're doing with that show and how it can be paced. Two hours of Rampage has the show ending at midnight, and I'm pretty sure they've run the numbers on the ROI on a second hour that late on a Friday.

Weird question, but how do you just buy ONE ticket for the Cincinnati show. It wants me to get two platium tickets and uh, my wife is okay with wrestling but doesn't want to go out on a Wednesday night.

I can't believe Cody actually named the second show Rampage (an obvious play on 'ramparts,' presumably his favorite word in The Star-Spangled Banner)

I seem to remember one of the phrases in a promo video being something like "less distraction, more action" so I'm guessing it's poised to be mostly wrestling and not a lot of interviews or extra segments.

Also if these signings somehow interrupt the Big Yeehaw from winning at All Out I will be disillusioned by AEW for the first time.

Why would they, they have to 1) be introduced 2) slowly build up their record in AEW 3) get associated with a younger act 4) learn to have fun again.

Whenever they debut, it's only going to be the start of the process.

I'm actually a bit disappointed to hear that. One of the reasons I've kinda given up on Dark/Elevation is that I want more angles rather than just matches. To be fair, they're also a bit squash-tastic for me, but most matches even on Dynamite are fairly predictable, I just want a bit more reason to care.

What I'm really saying is a 60 minute promo a week from Eddie Kingston would be my fantasy booking for Rampage.

I seem to remember them really pushing the line that Rampage is a continuation of Dynamite so maybe they do all the angle stuff on there, then just give themselves time to actually have the fights on rampage.

I mean this deal was penned when they thought they were going to be dealing with TNT, not TBS. I'm sure that is going to change things, including timeslot, a year down the road.
