More On AEW

I kind of have to say something longer about this right?

What exactly am I supposed to say? We know five wrestlers and the name of a show at the moment. I have no idea if this is going to work or not and other than a lot of speculation about big names who might show up, we don’t know much of anything about the promotion. They’ve certainly made a splash to start, but there’s a fine line between something being talked about and the people coming to all of the shows.

It’s way too early to say where AEW is going, but I like what I’ve seen so far. It might wind up being a big indy or something like that and there’s nothing wrong with occupying that spot. If it turns into a bidding war and talent makes more money, that’s an awesome situation. I’m just trying to not get overly excited yet though, as the second show is likely to be a success. That’s not where the issue is going to be. The issue is going to be in the fifteenth or so show. How many people are going to come to that?

And better yet: how many of their lower level talents can WWE pick off? They might not be able to get Cody and the Bucks, but what about a few marginal people? If WWE starts picking them off, in the words of Road Dogg when the rest of the promotion walked out and DX was all that’s left, “Are we supposed to wrestle ourselves every week?”.

I’m firmly in a wait and see mode, because there isn’t much to see at the moment.
