With All In now being AEW's biggest PPV of the year, do you think we might get a Women's AND Men's Casino Battle Royale on the card, to get as many performers as possible on the show? Thanks.
I don't think so. Anything is possible, but that would be sort of redundant. Maybe another kind of match to get a lot of people on the show. Or perhaps one is used that week to help add juice to Dynamite.
hey SRS, if All In does well at the 3 p.m. EST start time, do you think there's a chance AEW might start running more early PPVs in the states? afternoon wrestling is the best wrestling and being up until 1 a.m. on work nights will always suck no matter how many AEW stans on Bluesky try to argue otherwise
I sure wish they would, but unfortunately, later times tend to help PPV buys. UFC moved theirs to 9 ET for a while, and quickly switched back to 10. I'm glad WWE considers the audience in that regard and has ended shows much earlier. I think it's helped them a lot.
I'm sure you've done this before, but can you explain why dynamite had to have an ending and fade out? I remember that from the RAW is WAR days but can't remember why it matters. Thank you!
It's used to separate the shows for ratings and viewership purposes. They've done that in the past when Rampage was on after Dynamite as well. It was also why WWF Raw is War and War Zone were technically different shows.
