I'm just gonna watch this show on a loop for the next month. You should have recorded it on your VCR. Nikki Cross or Brandi?

I would think that PAC now has to be #1 contender to the strap other than Cody.

Hager wouldn't have been my surprise, but this scratched me right where I itch.

No Orange Cassidy No Best Friends No Luchasaurus No Awesome Kong No Lucha Bros No Shawn Spears
So much held in reserve.
I think they're prepared for a marathon.

That's the great thing about having only one two-hour show per week. You don't run as much of a risk of overexposing your top talent. WWE has had this bad habit for years of putting everybody on every show all the time. I get sick of acts very quickly that way.

The winner, and NEW champion: “All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite” on TNT!
Professional wrestling’s “Wednesday Night Wars” officially started on cable television last night, when the new weekly AEW wrestling show debuted to 1.4 million viewers, besting USA Network’s “NXT,” which put up 891,000 viewers (down 11% from last week’s show). Among the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic, “Dynamite” scored 878,000 viewers to “NXT’s” 414,000 (up 1% from its week-ago broadcast).
There’s a little bit of an asterisk here, however. While “Dynamite” was a brand new series “debut,” WWE’s “NXT” has had an existing Wednesday night show for years. “NXT” moved its 8 p.m. hour to USA from WWE Network two weeks ago, nabbing 1.2 million total viewers (553,000 from the key 18-49 demo) in the process. The second hour of “NXT” followed suit for the first time this evening.

Crowd was loud don't get me wrong but NXT is housing 400 fans while AEW had 14,000.
I know it was the first week but even when AEW does lower seat places it's still going to look visually far more impressive than NXT.
I know they're there until the end of the year I think, but if they keep losing in the ratings, they're fucking gone right at the new year.

Lucha Bros appeared in a segment. Let's give it time to see how ratings are before we praise/criticize either show.

Do 3-8k seat venues; leave Raw/SD with the big arenas.

Drebin is pissed!!! #AEW #AEW #AEW Not pissed at all, just being realistic and cautious. I got home from work last and had both shows on my DVR. I watched AEW last night and then NXT this morning. I realize something new is going to attract a higher number, but the key is to maintain it.

Let me be even more wishy washy. If they take it on the road two out of four shows per month, it will make the Full Sail shows more special and show bigger crowds for others. As I rambled on and on last night, I'm clearly biased towards AEW for various reasons. But NXT was the better show. I can't fucking wait to watch both shows every week.

NXT had the better wrestling by far. But I don't see them throwing Takeover quality action every single week. AEW had better commentary obviously. I love Mauro & his enthusiasm but 2 hours of his random references and screaming is super overkill.
Also the commercials I felt hurt NXT more than AEW. I thought AEW's were spaced out well, but NXT's was so back loaded it harmed the matches. Burch vs Dunne went like 10 minutes and literally 8 were commercials. Candice and Shayna was hurt by it as well.
Stop with the gimmicks of "limited commercials" when that's far from the case. Also the overrun needs to stop. Give us 2 hours of awesome content. If you can't/won't fit it in the 2 hours, that's your problem.

What's up with that Mercedes Martinez that randomone shamed me for not knowing?
