Posted October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901151 Darby Allin vs Jimmy Havoc - Number One Contenders Match Jon Moxley vs Shawn Spears w/Tully Blanchard Dustin Rhodes and Hangman Adam Page vs Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara Live from Boston. One issue the show may have is that it could be moved for some baseball game on TNT. There's currently a listing of AEW in it's usual TNT slot and also on TruTV, presumably in case it gets bumped. I'm not American and don't follow baseball so I don't know what the likelihood of an overrun game is or whether TruTV is a big downgrade but something to be aware of if you're watching on US TV tonight.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901152 Baseball playoffs are on TNT and TBS, if the afternoon game runs long, AEW might get bumped. You can never tell with baseball, if it goes into extra innings it could be an all night affair.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901153 It's probably gonna overlapse but they can feel lucky it's not a Yankees game. Yankees game are PAINFULLY long, even more in the postseason. They rarely go less than 4 hours but since they've swept the Twins (unless I'm mistaken) so it shouldn't be that bad for you, guys.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901155 Even if Braves/Cardinals doesn't go long, the Dodgers in a do-or-die playoff game is going to do a number on viewership for both AEW and NXT.

History int his series has shown that Braves vs Cardinals is going to go long. So 8:30 is going to be interesting. Actually 8 is going to be interesting because having to cut of in the middle of the show is really awful But not as awful as all of these Ryback to AEW rumors based on that goofy YouTube video. I almost want to see it to see everyone that completely shit on in the WWE tell us how great he actually was.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901158 Yeah, so...I don't think we need to worry about Braves/Cardinals going long. If anything, they might invoke the mercy rule and call it early.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901161 So I guess the decision is that if there is a over-run that AEW will be on TruTV and Nationals vs Dodgers will be on TBS. Still don't get if they are determining this at 8 or actually going to switch channels in the middle of the show I look forward to Meltzer telling people that getting bumped to this channel is actually a good thing because they are a better network than TBS. Even when I am sure they didn't know that TruTV exists.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901163 Actually, I believe that TNT is contractually obligated to take the spillover of MLB postseason games if one game overlapses on the other's starting time. Either way, I'm happy it won't be an issue for us in Canada tonight. Back in the days when RAW used to be pre-empted because of the freakin Westminster Dog Show or tennis, it used to drive me nuts.
October 9, 20195 yr Author comment_5901170 Apparently they're simulcasting the first 30 minutes and then doing the switch if necessary after that so at least fans who are unaware have a chance to change channel

Don’t forget the bigger curling tournaments. Back in the very distant past I recall Stampede wrestling on TSN getting bumped all the time. While it was never presented as live I specifically remember some show interrupted by the announcement that Ben Johnson had tested positive for steroids and stripped of the world record and the Olympic gold medal. This was the first time he was caught...and there is at least two more times this would happen.
October 9, 20195 yr comment_5901175 TNT is showing Guardians of the Galaxy for me, not baseball. Anybody else?

But if the first game is still going on when the second one begins, the ongoing game gets bumped to TNT and AEW gets bumped to TruTV.
October 10, 20195 yr Author comment_5901180 Hot tag matches are perfect openers. Glad Private Party are making great use of the spotlight.
October 10, 20195 yr comment_5901182 I'm watching NXT because of Lio Rush, but flipping back and forth. The AEW opener is what the WWE/NXT CW division has always needed to be. Then again, Jesus Christ couldn't get much out of a stiff like Drew Gulak.
October 10, 20195 yr comment_5901186 Just now, C.S. said: Jake Hager looks stoned. He looks like he's thinking "just be cool, no one can tell how high you are".
October 10, 20195 yr comment_5901188 Can Jericho get AEW into any legal hot water for referencing "The List" so many times?
October 10, 20195 yr comment_5901190 That was the best promo Jericho has cut in this decade probably.
October 10, 20195 yr comment_5901191 Also, is it airing on TNT, or is it showing baseball? I am watching on Fite TV in India. Being pre-empted won't be a factor long term, but I think it would be a bit bumming to have its 2nd show bumped.
