Finally getting to read the statement put forth there's a few interesting items I'm seeing. One of which is a statistics being tracked for each wrestler in terms of wins and losses. Should make our resident statistician breathe easier lol. Seriously though, I'm interested to see how they handle stats in conjunction with titles. Be interesting to see. Like the idea of three wrestlers beings on a win streak and a three way match determining the tie breaker for a title match. Or a low card wrestler with a lot of losses goes on a huge win streak that ends with them getting a title shot. A lot of possibilities I mean, one show a week and scattered major events wouldn’t exactly be a hard task to manage for the points ranking project.

This is really, really exciting. They're doing everything right and this is a perfect time for this.

Amazing to see this all made official, and amazing to see some names from the industry now in a big enough position to be on a Turner Broadcasting press release. What a timeline we're in.
Again though, I really hope that if they're successful that Cody starts campaigning overtime to get a B-show for Saturdays at 6:05 on TBS.

Vince retaliates at this news by making Baron Corbin Universal Champion from MITB to Wrestlemania next year

This feels like the more appropriate tweet.

If they are going..pun intended all in a sports driven direction like it sounds like than this makes more sense and analytic geeks everywhere just nerdgasimed.
If not than that just seems like a very easy to way overcomplicate things.

Asst: Sir, AEW has got a TV deal with TNT
Vince: WCW? No, I bought them bub
Asst: No, AEW. It's run by Cody Rhodes.
Vince: Why would Stardust be on AWA? Vern sold that to me too, Heh!
Asst: A-E-W they have a growing fanbase who are tired of your product and misuse of wrestlers
Vince: ECW? eh? That sneaky Heyman. Look I got grapefruits the size of cantaloupes, But if the fans are whining so much about the stars then I'll have Kofi lose the championship to Corbin. They'll hate that and be dying to watch more to see him lose!
Asst: I'm giving you my 30 days notice now.
Vince yelling to no one in particular now: HEY GET ME...UH...THAT GUY WITH THE LIGHT VEST..UH ALI AND DAVARI...I WANNA PUT EM IN A TAG TEAM! *mumbling to self* Yeah I can see it now, turbans...genie pants...come to the ring with curved swords and pointy shoes....I'll call them...The Sheiks of the Sand...Too loong, The Sheiks...yes...I like that...I'm a genius!

I love how none of this would be happening if Vince hadn't been so insistent on f***ing Stardust.

I’m eager to see the timeslot they get. I’m not sure where it would be best positioned. I don’t really like Tuesday Night, but it will be the only weeknight that wouldn’t be head to head with WWE after the Smackdown move.
EDIT: Forgot about Thursday, but that would be head to head with Football in the fall.
