I think at this point you put the wrestling itself on hold. Do something from the compound for example or something special.

I think they might use the ones who reside in Florida(Hikaru, Penelope, Kip, Jimmy), gotta give them indy talents to squash imo. I think at this point you put the wrestling itself on hold. Do something from the compound for example or something special. Probably use more cinematics like the one with Archer.

All the single wrestlers without family should have a weekend slumber party at the Khan mansion in or around Jax and tape two or three weeks of shows.

If they have to shut things down, I wonder what they could do if they aren't like fully off air. Some ideas: -Recap AEWs story so far via TV and PPV matches and new interviews -Just PPV matches as premiere events, they probably have a few shows worth in raw hours of PPV -A Deletion or multiple Deletions -Dynamite basically becoming BTE -one that won't happen that I'd like: some way to recap the Elite and others' stories pre AEW in NJPW and ROH and such for people new to them. Pipe dream would be some sort of deal with NJPW/ROH to get the biggest matches to air on Dynamite.

An idea I had was to dedicate an episode to each of their four PPVs' top matches which can carry them for a month while also showing some badass stuff that a lot of their audience hasn't seen before.

Skeleton Crew? Dark?
Sounds like the perfect opportunity for TH2 to step up!

I have to ask the question: Why fly in so many overseas talents in the first place? I can see it if someone was a big draw but overall it seems like AEW flies a bunch of talent in that really doesn't move the needle.

Havoc and Sabian moved to the US when they signed with AEW.

I really don't know what they do from here if guys can't travel, they really should have just stayed in Florida but I guess they didn't know the travel bans were going to get worse
I don't really know what AEW does this week or the weeks beyond, they better get creative if they still can't have talent travel.

Just stay in Florida for weeks and not see their families? They should’ve been smart and block taped shows when they had the chance.

I understand them preferring to do the shows live, but they could have stayed an extra night and shot enough in-ring matches and segments to spread out over another 2-3 episodes just in case.

I feel like them wanting to say live every week is gonna bite them now.

I have to agree they should have last week stayed a day and tapped several weeks of shows. When they still had most of the roster there. I get wanting to be live but we can all live with putting it on hold for a while until we know the travel situation.
