[Fightful] Konosuke Takesh!ta is expected to receive a huge push over the next few months that will establish him as an upper card talent in AEW.

[BIG PRESSURE]

Osprey/Ricochet was so corny, even Okada/Aberdeen felt flat. Very dry w/o any real build imo

Man…….getting smoked on the 5 year Anniversary really buggin Dave.

I’m surprised he didn’t throw the port strike in that list as well.

Big Dave is the last credible wrestling journalist. Not that mark Brandon Thurston

New lucrative TV deal for AEW. TK a great salesman. Those declining ratings not a true indicator of how well they are doing.

It’s the empty arenas they keep running that are an indicator of how they’re doing.

Ironically the 5 year anniversary show looked to have a GOODT! crowd and the show for the most part was mid.

I’d like to see AEW start running shapes in places that look/feel like the Manhattan Center..It’d give the shows a better vibe and would force AEW to use a less stupid entrance setup..Plus it’d be easier to sell out and have their shows look full..

Been saying this. Would be perfect for them.

Big reason why John Daly’s Place was so good.

They should be doing shows at the former ECW arena or the Lost Battalion hall.

We've talked about this before. I WONDER if TK would view booking those small arenas at a higher rate as a form of admitting his company isn't up to par. I think it would take some ego suppression to consciously make that change in venue size. That is just my assumption.

I've wondered this as well. I think they'd do pretty well in a smaller setting.
