>>17675638The larger point to be made, somewhere in all this mess, is that AEW would be much better off if they could get their stars into the ring more often, instead of every other week for 15 minutes. It would relieve a lot of tension that's built up in the AEW fanbase, it would put less pressure on AEW's stars to always go 100mph, they'll learn how to perform in 2nd/3rd gear for long stretches. Because it's ultimately about the fans, hundreds of thousands, it's not about the 1 singular mark in San Jose. It's hard to convince fans to buy tickets when they have no idea who they're going to see in action or who has that week/month off.
It kind of sucks that WWE is scaling back on house shows at a time where AEW is scaling back on dates altogether (lots of combo Dynamite/Collision tapings, or same-day/next-day in the same city), so there's much less total WWE/AEW shows to go to in the US/Canada and prices are rising much faster than inflation. We'll have to see what happens as far as both companies broadcasting more events and having more material available. I make fun of ROH because of course I do, but it would be quite cool if they could get a deal, even in a bad timeslot or crappy channel. The true fans will find a way to get it on their TV if they really want it.
