I'm not opposed to that based on just sheer roster size, but they need to start putting out solid 2 hour programs first. Quality over quantity.

This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

Not that we aren't there already, but if Tony expands to more than 5h it needs to be with the addition of someone else booking a show or two so he doesn't do it all himself.
Yes! He's already needs someone to run ROH for him.
my ahdh can hardly take dynamite and collision as it is (not because i don't like it but because i hella can't focus on it- i don't even like binging a show on streaming networks)
I feel ya :(
If the reports are true and he's booking shit on the fly these days, for the love of God don't give this man any more hours until he gets a damn booking team to help him, on the fly booking is bad... I mean I'm looking at my run down for Dynamite and I'm sure I was told I was getting Saraya and Mariah and then I didn't... it's being pushed to next week.
Although, I'd happily give up Rampage for another hour of Dynamite or a different concept-style show. Rampage is just, meh.
I mean Iβm looking at my run down for Dynamite and Iβm sure I was told I was getting Saraya and Mariah and then I didnβtβ¦ itβs being pushed to next week.
Didn't post it (least I don't think I did lol) but she made an insta-delete post on twitter which indicated she was pretty pissed over that too.
I swear I need to be right next to Tony Khan with full authority to slap him hard when he does stupid shit like booking matches and not stories.
Yes, great, we got to see Danialson vs Sabre Jr. Yes, it was an amazing match. Now what did it do to get me to watch Dynamite next week?
And now he's booking what he sees as his own dream matches on Dynamite. You have a roster of like 3,000 people. Why the FUCK are you bringing CMLL and New Japan guys in, when like 70% of your roster hasn't seen anything more than squash matches in 3 years?
Where the fuck is Brit Baker? Why did you let Colt Cabana, Joey Janella, and Ethan Page go? I get trim the fat, but especially early on those could have been your upper midcard stars ready to break out. Oh, but lets bring is Escha Latte Frappadooo. Or whatever the name of the next random masked luchador is.
Vince McMahon is absolutely a sex offender, but at least he knew rey mysterio is your one guy with a mask, because that makes him different but firmiliar.
AEWs masked guys are Rey Fenix, and Penta. You can have more than one masked guy, but each extra one dilutes the effectiveness of their unique image. What's far worse however is "here's a guy you've never seen before, you'll never see again, and he's facing a guy who's here every week".
Either it's bad booking because the nobody won, or its bad booking because the signed wrestler won which everybody saw coming. And then you have no follow up story, so what was the point of any of it???
