Why is AEW booking venues that are to scale for this audience a bad thing? Would they rather AEW rent out 100,000 seat stadiums that are 90% empty?

So, yes.

the "ratings are stagnant" talking point sure seems like one that has proliferated organically

I’m so glad AEW does stuff like this. It’s refreshing after years of wwe “hardcore” matches where the wildest thing is a chair shot to the back.

I understand being adverse to blood, but that blade job made that match even more insane.

I have to agree that AEW is over using blood lately but as the match went on I totally agree that the blood made it way better.

It's impossible to overuse blood, because it's always cool. Much like it is impossible to overdo "spots" in a match because spots are cool

Overbooking is a thing and I think Yuta/Mox came close but didn't cross the line. You kinda have to do stuff like that sometimes especially when the intent is to make a new star

Yeah, the "Who's House?" right before the finish got a huge reaction tonight.

I kind of agree about not needing to have blood on every show, but Yuta bleeding tonight was necessary to the story of the match.

Also lol at "Ewww, it's icky and gross" meanwhile Seth pries Rey's eyeball out of his head.

I've really started to sympathise with WWE feeling the need to drill everything into their fans' heads. Maybe once they cut Michael Cole loose, AEW should hire him to provide an alternative commentary track where he repeats the key story beats over and over again. "Jon Moxley has said he doesn't respect people unless they bleed with him and Wheeler Yuta is earning that respect tonight on Rampage" over and over again to his broadcast partner

i think something should be done about people trolling on twitter and then posting it here as a means of stimulation. it's practically importing off-site drama, which is a serious offense. beyond that, as you can see a few posts above, the trolling often catches real goons who paid their $10 to be respected.

Feel like the most dangerous part of blading(assuming you've been taught to do it correctly) is potentially getting woozy if you're a heavy bleeder and loving up one of the numerous basic moves that can actually injure you, but even then idk if it's enough blood loss to cause something like that

Keep in mind that when people donate blood, they give about a pint in around ten minutes, and they have you sit there for a minute and offer you orange juice or a cookie or whatever just in case, but most people don’t really feel any different.

It’s hard to tell how much a guy is losing when it’s splattered all over him and the mat but I doubt Yoots squeezed out much more than a pint last night. Now it might hit a lot harder because they’re doing heavy physical activity but I still feel like unless they’re squeamish about blood and that makes them woozy, it’s probably not that much of a factor.
