Yeah, and any other day has its own problems. Can't have it on Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday would make everyone involved with NXT cry, Thursday is mostly Impact, Saturday is reserved for the specials and Sunday is PPV day so nothing really makes sense. To be fair does anyone watch Impact? I literally have no ability to watch that show. I mean, it still has some kind of audience and they had to move for the sake of NXT moving to Tuesdays so it's more of them trying to find their place. Also would seem bad if any crossover does happen again of them having it on the same night, you know.

To be fair does anyone watch Impact? I literally have no ability to watch that show. I appear to be one of the few people here who has AXS TV, and the YouTube premium version of Impact starts at 8:30 PM Eastern for some odd reason, so the live threads aren't very active as a result.

Great signing. Swerve has IT and has potential to be one of the top guys in the company

He's also signed with NJOA reports say So you can be signed to both. Interesting. I figured AEW contracts were more exclusive than that.

Still have no idea how in the blue f*** WWE passed on this man but yes, good, f***ing obviously sign him. Now license Chaka Khan. We need Chaka, Tony. Chaka Khan? Chaka Khan??

Swerve used Ain't Nobody as his entrance theme on the indies, and him coming out moving to Chaka Khan was just instant star quality. The crowd doing the building "Oh, oh, oh, oh!" is also built-in obvious stuff, that's an easy get-over method in AEW.

Yeah, if someone with the upside of Swerve becomes available, it doesn't matter how full your roster is - you sign them. I would love to see AEW implement a formal roster rotation though. Wrestling doesn't have an off-season, but wrestlers absolutely should. Give everyone 2-3 months per year off the TV to freshen up the rosters and let them rest their bodies. They can see to getting little injuries sorted before they become big ones, or even work on improving their in-ring skills without the added stress of traveling and having to perform in front of an audience. In some cases I do think some wrestlers do indeed rotate in and out and keep reps on DARK. Some need to get IN the rotation more, that's another discussion, but they're definitely content letting peeps like Omega and Miro heal up, and you don't inherently miss them because of how deep the roster actually is. I don't think they had a choice with Omega. By all accounts, he was being held together by sheer willpower alone by the end of his title run. If he'd had a few months off in 2019 and 2020, he might not be in the state he's currently in and he could have had at least some of his injuries fixed back then.

100% agree never seen this man wrestle, I'll await his debut Rampage is so good as a one hour format though, like... it's hard for me to advocate for it to be pushed to two hours. The only way that's possible imo is if they start filming it live every week, and not doing so helps remove a lot of travel expenses just taping it after most Dynamites. I would sooner advocate for a third one hour show, than I would messing with Rampage. Give TBS their own exclusive one hour program or something. Film one live, tape the other and air it another day, but you'd be able to sell fans to come to the show like how live Rampage's have like two hour DARKs attached to them I just wanted to add that the differences between Dark and Elevation need to be fleshed out more. Seeing the same talent appear on Elevation and then on Dark is just confusing. Wasn't Elevation originally supposed to be the step up from Dark but below Dynamite for their really good talent?

Same got AXS too, but with the weird timing, its hard to keep up on the live threads.

Okay yeah I wasn't sure if it was that or if you were just deeply confused. The double question marks really threw me

Hell yeah! I hope he gets the spotlight he deserves, because Swerve is a license to print money if you just let him do his thing.

So sad news for everybody. Swerve just tweeted our that he thinks it is time to retire using "Ain't Nobody" for his entrance theme

Swerve just tweeted our that he thinks it is time to retire using "Ain't Nobody" for his entrance theme That is not shocking considering his new thing is basically evolving past well his past. He basically retired SWERVES HOUSE as a catchphrase to SWERVES INDUSRTY. Gonna miss Chaka alot though.
