AEW wrestlers only work one night a week when they film episodes of Dynamite. Thereās been talk of AEW eventually doing house shows.Ā
During a recent interview with Wrestling Observer Live, Jim Ross talked about AEW doing live events before the pandemic started.Ā
Hereās what he said:Ā
āAbsolutely, and I think thatās the plan,ā he said. āItās just, you know, timing is ā I know there some live events penciled into the schedule before the virus. You canāt get better working one night a week. Nobody, I donāt care who you are. Thereās some minor exceptions, like I donāt think Chris Jericho needs to work four to five nights a week to be great. I think he can be great on Wednesday nights.
āBut a lot of guys need to continue to work, and they need to work under supervision of the coaches in AEW so that they can continue to relearn some of the fundamentals. Primarily slowing down, using more psychology and selling. Because youāve been in the business 10 years doesnāt mean youāre a 10-year veteran. It could mean you had the same experience 10 times. So yeah, house shows are important for us, I think, to develop talent especially, and revenue going forward. But who the hell knows when thatās gonna be? Itās not gonna be any time soon, apparently.ā
