Do the people at turner still hate wrestling or did Ted turner get some power back? I could some issues if the network is still run by people embarrassed to have it and expecting WWE numbers. The person who wanted wrestling off of Turner is long gone from the company. Now it's about finding programming.

Im very optimistic about this because AEW doesnt have Russo, Hogan, Bischoff to kill another wrestling promotion.

It saddens me because it's on a network no one watches, but LU was one of the freshest takes on a wrestling promotion I'd ever seen.

It saddens me because it's on a network no one watches, but LU was one of the freshest takes on a wrestling promotion I'd ever seen. I made a thread months ago asking if AEW simply being a better WWE was enough to win them over an surprisingly it was. AEW already has the hardcores ready to embrace them whether it be to spite WWE or whatever but IMO and I have said it in order to really win over the casuals...they can't be just a better WWE because as WWE is showing that is not what the audience wants anymore. LU was able to sneak in under everyones noses and find their footing and when aztec warfare rolled around and everyone turned their head like WHERE THE f*** DID THIS COME FROM they were able to really hit the ground running and were understanding what they really wanted to be and the direction they were taking the entire thing. AEW does not have the advantage of being able to start slow out the gate though they have to impress because alot of wrestling fans are seemingly depending on them to be that new WCW to a faltering WWE ,the worst thing that could happen to AEW is people coming out of their first weekly TV show going......I have already seen this before.

I hope JR isn't a lead announcer or color on this show. I think the show needs to be fresh and his voice on there as one of the first things you hear would remind me too much of WWE. I'm fine with him helping produce the announcers and then being on the PPV's as a way to make it feel special, but I think they need a fresh lineup.

Alex Marvez will be the lead announcer, and Excalibur will be the color guy, and JR will be the third wheel that offers insight.

Wrestling on a Turner network.
Jesus Christ I am not used to reading a thread on this forum and it giving me hope about wrestling's future.
Hope is a dangerous thing.

Hogan is getting that sweet blood money and Cody personally banned Russo from all in.
What I am saying is that Eric Bischoff has been trying to get into contact with Tony Khan since January 1st.

The only thing Bischoff can help is in production, because he already proved he is a failure in creative.(Aces and 8s everyone?)

Alex Marvez will be the lead announcer, and Excalibur will be the color guy, and JR will be the third wheel that offers insight. I’d like to see JR in the Mike Tenay WCW role. Mostly just chimes in with tidbits, but gets to be lead pbp on one or two matches a show. But Marvez is 100% who they should be pushing as the voice of AEW. My only beef with Excalibur is he’s gonna look really stupid wearing a mask for commentary if you’re someone tuning in for the first time. If you’re familiar with him, and know he’s a wrestler, it makes sense. But to anyone else, it’s gonna seem dumb I feel. It’s fine for a one and done like All In, but for an upstart national promotion on a major cable network I’m not a fan of the idea.
