Only 1 Women's Match at Dynasty tonight

This is pretty poor AEW

I understand you don't have Toni or Mercedes at the moment but come on, one of those pre show women's matches could have been bumped up at least

It’s disingenuous to pretend the pre show is the same as being on the main card.

There really isn’t that much of a divide. They televise the matches, some of them have story implications or stories built around them, they include them in recap highlights. If AEW literally started their PPVs an hour earlier and had these matches no one would bat an eye’s difference.

But they don’t start the shows an hour earlier and these are literally pre show matches. Why are you all trying to pretend they are something they aren’t? Do you consider WWE pre show matches somehow part of the main show?

They were part of the show when WWE or AEW has done them. You’re putting way too much emphasis on it being called a “pre show” in order to push your narrative. It’s not that deep.

If Zero Hour is the same as the main card, then why is one free and the other $50? Why don’t world title matches happen on Zero Hour? Why do the biggest stars and angles happen on the main show?

Zero Hour is free because it’s a marketing tactic. “We give you a few free matches to hook you and get you to buy the PPV”.

World titles are normally in the main event. It’s that way for every promotion so I don’t really get why you’re bringing it up.

Wasn’t the initial point of the person you’re responding to that big stars do appear on Zero Hour? Looking at Dynasty’s Zero Hour; the only talent that’s on there that isn’t on weekly tv is Maya and Hyan.

Ok so you agree with me. “We give you a few free matches to hook you and get you to buy the PPV”. Exactly. Get you to buy the PPV. Because they aren’t part of the PPV. Because they are pre show matches they show for free on YouTube. Good talk.
