The part where I'm hoping AEW make the biggest difference is simply in reducing the amount of matches someone has to wrestle in order to make a living. Each match is a chance for something to go wrong and someone to get hurt, and the longer wrestlers spend on the road the longer it takes for them to heal (travel sucks and wrecks the body even for entirely healthy people). Yes, house shows are fun for those attending, but the sort of loops that talent go on for companies like WWE and New Japan put on have severe physical consequences.

Cavauro posted:so far many viewers have not taken kindly to this. But they have tried to make it better like having darby allin show up just to help someone to their feet, or cody rhodes show up just to take up all the time on the show sitting in a car I'm not saying use the wrestlers on the show less as much as I'm saying put wrestlers on the road less. Even a wrestler who appears at every AEW show is wrestling once a week plus pay per views, because they don't run house shows etc. In order to not look like I'm WWE bashing, the NXT schedule is also a much healthier schedule for talent.

coconono posted:NXT runs out an injury report each week, how is that safer? They wrestle less shows. Like, if we assume that the risk of being injured in an individual NXT match is identical to the risk of being injured in an individual RAW match, the average NXT worker is less likely to be injured than the average RAW worker because they wrestle less often.

Low Desert Punk posted:i think there's a good middle ground between wrestling only on TV and PPVs, and WWE's extreme schedule. allowing guys to book themselves on indies and running occasional "house shows" /fite.tv specials between PPVs would work pretty well i think Which is pretty much what AEW are doing, isn't it? I know Trent and Chuck still work select indie dates
