tbs has the playoffs not tnt so aew should be fine, unless one game goes into ertra innings and they move a start of one game to tnt.

I watch using the tnt app so hopefully I'll avoid any potential issues.

AEW seems to be working off the "lean startup model." It centers around putting forth a minimum viable product that you make available to consumers - then you take their feedback and pivot/evolve depending on the demands of the market.

So, they're aware while their show is of the necessary quality to exist - and find some success - on television--it's a continual work of progress that requires continual assessment and adjustments.

Whereas, the WWE just does shit the same old way, like most legacy brands.

Shit I didn’t think of the playoffs. Dammit.

First game starts at 5 and the second at 8:30. But playoff baseball takes forever, especially a decisive game 5 with probably a billion pitching changes.

Yeah AEW’s definitely getting bumped. Maybe they switch over to TCM.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-08-2019 09:15 PM

I miss the good old days when wrestling shows would only get bumped for dog shows.

#1-norm-fan 10-08-2019 11:36 PM

Still remember Nitro making fun of Raw for getting bumped for the dog show. Damn. People who didn’t grow up with the Monday night wars will never know the joy...

Mr. Nerfect 10-08-2019 11:39 PM

Being bumped second week is probably not the best thing for them, given they are trying to hook a new audience.

Game 1 starts at 5:05 with game 2 scheduled for 8:35. If game 1 goes longer TNT gets Game 2 til game 1 is over which means AEW gets interrupted.

They interrupted a star wars marathon for baseball, they'll interrupt wrestling

Droford 10-09-2019 01:32 AM

Meant to edit in not double post that baseball games go 4 hours regularly, especially for a deciding game 5 which unless it's a blow out will get micromanaged to desth

WWE SD is getting bumped on the 25th completely for the World Series

I guess it'll be on FS1 but they haven't said yet

My plan is to record the West Feed of TNT at 11 just to be on the safe side

I don't think they will interrupt on the 2nd week of AEW it's too precious of a time to jeopardize their rating. Turner has plenty of options for casting on other channels and I have faith they don't fuck over AEW tonight. Maybe in the future, but not this soon.

Baseball > Wrestling (even WWE is getting preempted for baseball)

I understand why you think that. But I am putting faith in TNA to respect this war enough to not allow NXT to beat AEW, specifically on this 2nd and valuable week. I could be wrong, sure, just riding on rasslin faith, Jack.

AEW would need to be both fully established and doing MLB-like numbers for that to even be possible.

Plus given the choice of having to deal with the MLB playoffs or NBA playoffs, AEW decided to go with the lesser evil of MLB since it meant less issues to worry about.

Jordan 10-09-2019 06:58 PM

Ah well. Tru TV is on in more homes than TNT apparently, likely will be no issues for ratings I think.
