Things AEW can learn from ECW.
It's no secret ECW did a lot to cover up for what their talent lacked. Well, there ain't no modern wrestler as good as RVD and Sabu, hell there's barely any better than Danny Doring and Chris Chetti these days. So what can be done to keep modern wrestlers from exposing themselves as total hacks who are gay and suck?
>Shorter matches
Most ECW PPV matches were like 8 minutes long. That's plenty of time to get their character across and do some wild shit. Not enough time to get lost. A lot of the AEW PPVs I've seen almost every match, including the pre show matches go at least 15 minutes,this leads to guys falling back on all the smark approved spots, so every match feels the same. Tighten that up, and have the talent focus on what makes them them, and not what their apron spot is going to be and where to put in the boo yay strike exchanges.
>Heavily edited shows, no more live events
There's a reason there's no must see ECW fan cam. ECW was made in the edit. Cut out the botches, cut out the shots of people blading, cut out the fumbled promos. Hell, just book a show with a bunch of run ins and see what match ups pop the crowd and then edit out all the run ins that don't.
>Squash matches are good actually
You have Sammy Guevara or Jungle Boy in the ring being annoying little shits and then have a debuting talent come out and hit one move, pose, hit their finisher and get the win, they are more over than any dream match given away on free TV could ever make them.
>no women's wrestling
If a woman is on screen she is either a stripper or the girlfriend of a wrestler who acts like a stripper.

Cringe, horrible ideas.

thanks chatGPT, I'll be honest with you senpai, the only thing AEW needs to learn from ECW is how to properly file for bankruptcy
>>
>>18819302
Sabu was nothing but a flippie indyfag
>>
>>18819302
welp, you pissed off the porkroller so it's a start. Might as well do a follow-up post
>>
>>18819375
Naw, they're good.
>>18819379
I'm flattered to be compared to one of the most revolutionary pieces of technology. But all this is from my big brain and expertise. Expect chatgbt to be parroting it soon though.
>>18819381
And he was still better than Kenny Omega ever will be.
>>
>>18819302
this retard really thinks we would rather watch heavily edited videos than a live show?

>>18819302
>AEW should copy this old company that went out of business because they couldn't draw a dime
Why are boomers like this?

I admit, it's retarded. But OP reminds me of picrel. Everyone is "AEW/ROH". Tony is still trying to milk every cent out of ROH like he milks a dog's weiner.
>>
>>18819424
A dime of profit is better than 6 years of no profit lol
>>
Is op a shoot retard?
>>
>>18819409
Yes. Cause you fags who worship aew also worshiped lucha underground.
>>
>>18819452
Kenny omega would be very disappointed in you for talking like that.
>>
>>18819441
Why are they all so ugly?
>>
>>18819409
I don't care either way when obviously AEW will suck either way because they dont wanna cross the stupid pussy ass boundaries cucks made with people getting hurt or sexualised

>hotdogs & handshakes
AEW is equally as ugly
>>
>>18819450
Are these ECW profits in the room with us right now?
>>
>>18819450
Plus ECW had Mick Foley RVD Eddie Guerro
CM Punk always seemed like some random skinny fag, AEW got him and only him
>>
They could learn how to go out of business I guess.
>>
>>18819302
What is there to learn. The mainstream popularity was that people got high as shit and watched it because they did crazy shit. Anything else is internet mark territory.
>>
>>18819550
The cult loves to say "Tony has infinite money" like it's a cheat code.
His Dad knows better. Even though they are both retarded Pakis.
>>
>>18819302
Shorter matches I can get behind not only for the reasons you describe but would allow weekly TV shows to fit in more (singles) matches to give the entire roster time to shine as individuals.
>>
i agree with the shorter matches suggestions when it’s a weekly show and the winner is obvious. feels like they are wasting our time when we know who will win. but ppv matches and matches where the winner is less obvious should stay as is
