Do your agreed upon fan signing meetups etc... do All In, FLY BACK home get like a day or two tops of rest, and do Dynamite/Rampage and Collision AND THEN All Out and have some kind of equal sized banger for that PPV.

fez_machine posted:Think about the backstage staff as well Stuff like catering and stage crew I assumed when it's international would be different than your normal crew and would have just gone on ahead to the other domestic upcoming shows to prep. But I guess it's just more of what was said at the beginning of AEW of rotating people out not a fed type of runaround etc etc. That's initially what brought some people on along with being able to work indie dates when they weren't on TV.

Doing extra travel once a year to work a PPV at Wembley Stadium is exactly the same as traveling multiple times a week to work a house show at Dogecoin Arena, Alabama.

As a musician with extensive touring experience I can confirm that the scheduling of a lengthy US tour is endlessly more grueling and depressing than having to deal with some jet lag and tiredness to fly to London to play in front of 80K people. That's a blessing to these wrestlers who have been grinding it out in the indies for 10-20 years.

There is no way a UK PPV could be more convenient for the crew than giving them two full days between travel and showtime. AEW could have done a Collision in the UK and taken in a million dollar gate on Saturday and didn't.

AEW could have done a Collision in the UK and taken in a million dollar gate on Saturday and didn't. where? it's possible that nowhere was available. Half the reason the PPV is at Wembley as opposed to any of the other huge soccer stadiums is that the national stadium is used so rarely, they've got time to setup and get there. I'm guessing there are some legit logistics problems keeping them from doing something like a Collision tape on the night before as well. I doubt they have a spare arena setup and ring that can be sent over to the UK quickly, and unlike WWE, not sure AEW is running Europe enough to keep any equipment there full time yet.

don't listen to these small fry know it alls. i used to own four arenas and they're available a few days a month even from 3 months in advance. it must be even less in a big city. i lost my arenas in a game of big gambling cards. The most dangerous game of cards. if you play you know what it is and if you don't you don't need to know about this world.

It's hard to say if she's good, as she's mainly been a jobber as far back as I can remember. Considering Victory Road is a weigh station before Bound for Glory, I'm not putting too much thought into title matches.

Yeah, the main thing it does is ensure she holds till at least BfG Masha and Kelly have the tag belts so they’re booked regardless, she just beat Deonna, Taylor’s hurt, and Jordynne’s coming back that show and shouldn’t lose immediately again (especially because I’m thinking she’s the BfG challenger)

Chris James 2 posted:He said Punk was gone Dark Order (as well as The Righteous) had pre-taped some promos that ran on TV before All In: London which suggested they might be featured more soon, Nemeth has been on non-Saturday tapings, and I have no clue what the Ricky Starks booking is right now - did something change last weekend on Collision? - or how that would even have led to a match since he’s still kayfabe suspended from in-ring action to my knowledge. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t think these booking decisions necessarily point to Punk being done. I also don’t believe a performer who’s been channeling nWo Hulk Hogan of late is truly out right now either. I guess we’ll see.

Ricky's been showing up to brag about hurting Steamboat in front of Punk and Ricky's kayfabe suspension got amended to conveniently end right before All Out. The plan, pre-Punk's real suspension, was Punk/Ricky to be the main event of All Out for Punk's participation trophy belt

STONE COLD 64 posted:The last time punk was suspended, colt cabana and hanger were booked strongly as well, along with nemeth/daniels/colt being booked on Wednesday after being sent away from Saturday, i wouldn't read too much into it. It does, however, heavily imply Punk is why certain people aren't booked normally, even if it's just because Tony's too busy chanting Punk's name to remember to book them. (It is actually because Punk is a pissy lil pissbaby who'd start a fight if Nemeth took the last Pepsi Max)

I imagine it’s very easy to get along with Punk providing that your definition of ‘get along with Punk’ is more along the lines of ‘be a huge mark for Punk with a billion dollar budget’, which will let him forgive a litany of sins.
