AEW Dynamite |OT2| #JoinDarkOrder UP: Blood and Guts postponed/Dynamite continues live shows with no audience
- Thread starter Bronx-Man
- Start date
So I'm going to ask the terrible question none of us want to ask but needs to be asked:
What do you think the chances are that Blood & Guts gets postponed? With San Fran limiting crowd size, I see New York and NJ doing the same. Theoretically AEW could film controlled studio type shows, but with the way things are trending, I see AEW/WWE being effected and soon.
If there was discussion on this and I missed it I apologize.

Could be a sign of things to come, especially if more municipalities enforce crowd size restrictions.
It's certainly a possibility. Everything's on the table now.
I would be shocked if it's not addressed tonight in some way. If I'm Tony Khan, I'd be agressively shifting towards a studio (NXT) crowd model or do more ROAD TO type content and look at postponing all live shows/shifting dates. Shit sucks but appears to be very, very necessary right now.
I think there's a pretty good chance that show gets affected.
Personally, I would rather they postpone that event rather than film without an audience or something. That match is going to be something big for them and I think losing the crowd is really going to take away a lot from it.
I'd hate to see the Blood and Guts show canceled, but the health of an entire country and community is more important than a wrestling show.
Absolutely. Venues can be re-booked. I'm expecting a wave of large cities restricting event size in the coming days, so I expect this decision is about to be made for AEW whether they make it for themselves or not.
I think we're heading there. it would suck but public health is more important.
Wednesdayyyy, Am I wrong for thinking a lot of this business is momentum based? Like they can't just months off because of coronavirus right? Surely they would have to do like a super controlled Lucha Underground thing?
Even if it's taped but ehh then of course TNT has to approve everything, sheesh. Just spit balling obvs, I just can't think of anything that's come up in my lifetime that's resulted in such a vast shifting of so many different forms of entertainment media

Now that the NCAA tournament won't have crowds, I'll be shocked if AEW doesn't do the same by next week.
I was there in Denver and that's the exact opposite of what the crowd was like.
Her match was the second one after Dynamite went off the air.
I feel like wrestling especially feeds off the crowd reaction so much that having to perform in empty spaces would take away from it, but they probably won't have much of a choice soon.
Empty arenas seem unavoidable at this point. If they want to do the shows, which I suspect they do, they shouldn't travel cross country and stop booking new venues as long as we're in the clear, which I suspect will be months rather than weeks. I hope they get a small NWA Powerrr or Full Sail like studio from TNT, where they can record stuff and which they can make their temporary home.
had a feeling that was the case. Crowd was clearly into it and I can't see how anyone interpreted otherwise.
If AEW is going to make Matt Hardy the Exalted One, they better hurry up and do it. Imagine Matt Hardy being revealed to an empty arena or small studio.
In Austin he grabbed my beer and drank it. In Chicago security and producers were using staged beer. Brandi and hangman.
I got a free beer when Hangman grabbed a different staged beer.
Karma
Will Ospreay's insta story suggesting working out to Kenny's theme got me to watch this
super fun

Battle Cry is the main song I listen to when I do my powerlifting. Shit is perfect for it.
I feel like this could potentially be our last Dynamite in front of a live crowd for a while. The Rochester show is a huge question mark.
as much as i want them to keep going in front of live crowds, it's probably the right decision to refund and do crowdless shows as soon as can be managed. :(
Yeah, in this case they really need to get the Hardy reveal out sooner rather than later. Given how late they seemed to adjust the Archer reveal, if Hardy wasn't planned for tonight perhaps they could be retooling (as long as he's available). And if it doesn't clash with BTE/FTD.

I'd rather it clash with BTE and FTD instead of revealing Matt Hardy to an empty arena.
was about to say that. it's going to clash, if they want a reaction that is worth it.
Yup, exactly.
Hopefully they don't edit it too much, in that it goes for about 3 hours.
The problem I see with big spots like the Hardy reveal and the Blood & Guts match is that I expect this to be the last show in front of a crowd and this crisis to last months rather than weeks. You can't stall stuff that long (maybe the B&G match because it exists a bit in a vacuum).
The one thing with Hardy is that he could provide tons of content that doesn't require an audience, which could be really helpful in the coming months.
I wonder if they are scrambling to change up the show tonight with all the stuff seemingly coming to a head in the next couple of weeks.
i was curious about that, too. seems like a couple of matches are yet to be confirmed.
Either way it's going to be an interesting time going forward.
I'm kinda preparing myself for some rockier episodes just because this is all gonna be a nightmare to navigate. Not gonna lose my mind if the show dips in quality/hype for a little bit cuz of virus related issues.
