Posted September 30, 20204 yr comment_5929404 Still a lot of confusion about who has covid and who doesn't. Apparently there are quite a few positive cases.

October 1, 20204 yr Author comment_5929435 HAHAHAHAHAHHA Brandi taking out all the Dark Order jobbers by herself. She better not fucking get her win back on Anna Jay
October 1, 20204 yr Author comment_5929436 That brawl was really fiery and well done though. Love the Bucks being douchey heels, but definitely not a fan of Dave Meltzer being namedropped to push an angle. "OBSERVE THIS, BROTHER"

October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929440 Today is my birthday. So I wanted to watch some pro wrestling before heading to work. So I put on AEW Dynamite. I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed the Cody stuff leading to Brodie Lee coming out & multiple pull aparts. Brandi & Anna Jay getting into it. Nyla Rose outta nowhere. That was fun.

October 1, 20204 yr Author comment_5929443 John Silver is the absolute greatest. Also, Miami beating up Bron and AD so far

(for those who don't know he was caught using emulation to get some of his arcade records, and when they were thrown out he sued Twin Galaxies arcade over it.)
October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929445 Nice (and hygenic!) touch adding the glove to the Lockjaw for Dr. Britt.
October 1, 20204 yr Author comment_5929448 That match kicked all kinds of ass. Butcher is great and Mox is a tremendous world champ.
October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929449 That was a common theme tonight. Lots of midcard talents who brought it: Darby, Starks, Kassidy, Butcher. All looked great in the process.

It clearly helps the shows, chances of spoilers getting out are less with so few fans, and in 2020, does anyone really care about being taped v. live?

FWIW I'm of the belief wrestling is usually better taped, at least for weekly shows. There's no reason they have to run live every week (that goes for all companies) other than that's what was done when WWF and WCW had a dick waving contest in the 90s. It makes for a better show and it's financially smarter for the company.
October 1, 20204 yr Author comment_5929453 Agreed about it being a dick-waving contest.

October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929454 Yeah the only time live vs taped made a difference was when WCW was an asshole about it on national TV. Spoilers on the internet have never made that much of a difference.
October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929461 TNA 10 years ago conducted a focus group. they watched one taped episode and one recorded live, with a Live logo in the corner of the screen and the announcers stating the show was live several times. When asked the group couldn't recall which show was which nor did the view or value the difference. Live TV Wrestling is largely vanity. The pressure can push wrestlers to better performances but a lot of AEW roster is fairly green at live TV and AEW's production isn't *that* slick to do it currently.
October 1, 20204 yr comment_5929463 Live vs taped doesn't matter in the least for an empty arena show where spoilers don't get out. I think if the spoilers do get out it changes the chemistry for at least the most vocal/social media driven audience. Whether that can't be adapted and controlled for, I have no idea. There are a lot of moving parts right now in a COVID environment. Plus, WWE at least has been terrible about surprises and twists (both in not going to that well nearly often enough and not making it worthwhile when they do).
