Would you be my new best friends?

Only downside to Dynamite was that we now know the next two PPVs have been incorrectly placed on a Sunday :mad:

At least one is on Memorial Day so some people (Me, specifically) have off Monday.

Imagine showing that champions lineup to a 2020 aew fan

It's funny because if you told someone pre-AEW that a new promotion was gonna start up and by 2024 their champs would include Joe (45), Roddy (40), Edge (50) and Billy Gunn (60), you would either think "Christ, the new generation of wrestlers must stink" or "Another promotion that is exclusive pushing corpses and has no idea how to handle young talent, great"

the most remarkable thing AEW has done is use older wrestlers better than any other promotion before it. Just compare it to the WCW main event scene in the late 90s.

I would think "gently caress this sounds awesome. Wait, Edge? I guess that could be good too."

So what you're saying is on Saturdays, Jerusalem will come?

Jerusalem

Would you be my new best friends?

Let's break it down logically:

Benefits of Saturday PPVS:

- Great.
- Works great in any time zone.
- Everybody shakes hands and nods in silent appreciation.

Benefits of Sunday PPVs:

- None.
- Not a single one.

The math doesn't lie, folks.

Benefits of Saturday PPVs: Can stay up later to watch the whole scrum.

Benefits of Sunday PPVs: Not on a day of the week when I want to go out, and mean we get a normal Collision.

Solution: Put Sunday PPVs on holiday weekends so I can watch the whole scrum!

Thanks Tony!

I mean, this basically should be the start and finish of the conversation and result in Saturday being locked in as the PPV day for all time :hai:

My job closes at 7pm on Sundays, so even if i'm scheduled to close at worst I lose a few minutes of one of the zero-hour matches. Sunday papes are alright.

My selfish case for Sundays:
- I have less things scheduled for Sunday nights so I don't have to cancel plans to watch the Pape
- The PPVs end around 11 pm for me (Central Time Best Time)
- At least two of them are weekends where I have Monday off, three if Forbidden Door is Pride Weekend like the last two years

When I remembered how expensive Toronto was because of Pride weekend I was thinking what a nightmare NYC would be... then I remembered I don't have to get a hotel for New York and that traffic in New York cannot get worse so it's fine.

Papes usually run from 2 AM til 6 AM over here, and since I start working at 8 AM on mondays I usually decide to stay awake. It's...not recommended, but I get back in the groove after a few days.

Butcher getting random jobs against Swerve and promo time meets with my approval, hope it's a trajectory that continues for a bit but it also has me worried about Blade.

when RAW goes to Netflix, is anyone even going to give a poo poo about TV ratings? i'd like to know the streaming numbers for AEW internationally each week cause that seems to be way more important
