Well my fear is trying to put a 2 hour weekly live show out the gate and too many PPV's. Doesn't sound like they'll do that less is more. I thought the last PPV was too long. Too many guys that haven't been built up yet. The ending made up for it though.AEW is ECW with a Vince level bankroll...
I remember the first time I saw a VHS tape of ECW back in 1994 and went "Whoah, what is this?" AEW is giving me the same feels...
I mean, when was the last time a WWE match made you emotional? Other than pissed or disappointed that you just sat through that crap? Watch the build up to and the Dustin/Cody match...if you didn't feel something after that match, you are probably dead...
From everything I've heard from Tony Khan, they are building this out the right way...
Double or Nothing was 5 hours, but it didn't feel that way...their events in June and July are smaller, then All Out in August then the weekly TV show in Sept/Oct...
I thought they built the card for DoN perfectly...you have to intro the "new guys" somehow and until they go live on TNT, this was a great way to do it...
It sounds like they are going to do 1 show a week live from a different location each week, so that is different but with a WCW type feel to it...they've hired enough backstage people with experience to pull it off...
