AEW has proven they’re willing to change courses drastically. I think they’re trying to feel Matt out as a talent and seeing what people like and don’t - hopefully these ratings let them know that we do not need a show main evented by Matt Hardy in 2020. i have faith that they will see this is not what we want. like i said in another thread, i am perfectly fine with him mentoring private party if that's the route they want to go down. but i literally could not care less about matt hardy in his current presentation. matt was never a big draw for me on his own either. the deletion stuff in tna was fun but that was years ago and the ship has sailed. the only way matt should be in the main event scene in aew is if jeff is with him. |

Is there a market for a production like New Japan? Of course there is, it's a widely successful MAINSTAY in Japan. And yes they are going to sell out one-off shows in MSG, Australia or wherever else the promote a novelty like that. All I'm saying is that wrestling is more than, well wrestling. I call it a male soap opera; there has to be drama, comedy, entertainment - especially in a North American market. You are flat-out wrong if you thought AEW would be the extreme alternate to WWE; it would fold in less than 6 months. That is not the business model this market wants or needs quite frankly. AEW has done tremendously in a year, all things considered. I too want them to move away from all that gaga bits right now because they are walking a fine line of being a parody fed. But they have quality wrestlers on the roster too. I agree with almost everything you said there. I do think they have done well for themselves, but like you said, they need to be careful because they are really starting to get into that parody territory. The only thing I do not agree with is that if AEW was the "extreme alternative," then it would fold in six months. People are following and tuning into AEW because of their roster and for solid matches. The same fans would be watching if it was a pure wrestling company as well. and that’s totally your right to have that opinion, and you clearly want to see AEW succeed and be the best it can be, so going forward let’s all try not to be so divisive despite whatever past threads we’ve had. we should all be respecting opinions and not jumping down other’s throats, as long as they’re being respectful, too. |

Thread gone off course, ship sunk... as how most "rants" end up.
