Hello AEW Sickos:

Wednesday’s Collision/Countdown Replay is not showing up in the HBO Max Search function. (Team has been notified)

If you’re looking for the 10/15 Collision Replay go to Sports & slide down to the Watch Full Replays line and you should find it there.

I’m so glad you liked it!

TNT Sports crew is really enjoying the college football broadcasts. I was assigned AEW today but I’ve worked a few games this season.

*Almost* as much fun as a Dynamite 😉

FWIW I personally had no idea that FTR v Jetspeed would spillover into Wrestledream until it happened. I thought it was brilliant. I see a lot of wrestlesky liked it too.

PPV Intro pyro hits as 2 of AEW’s best Tag Teams are slugging it out & crowd is nuts. Chaos from go.

Good stuff.

Super cool. Hope I see another for Full Gear & World’s End.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 17h

That’s a pretty cool way to show us your picks!

5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No chance, because the Tailgate Brawl is a renamed Collision hour and a Simulcast of TNT. It will always have breaks.

And hey, just because Will ain’t wrestling tonight doesn’t mean it’s not a BRUV day

Just like last month there will be a 1:00 break in between the Tailgate Brawl Simulcast & the start of Wrestledream. Happy Sicko Saturday y’all!

I have read many fan’s feelings on the matter and it sure seems like an overwhelming majority of the people speaking out are saying the same thing.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 1d

I definitely understand that, ICE has flooded most TV Live Events with their current recruiting campaign, not just AEW.

Every viewer has the right & the means to communicate their feelings directly to the companies that are showing them.

Those voices carry more weight than mine.

FWIW, you can click on future AEW shows and add them to your List. It can help.

Technically I am with TNT Sports. My dept assists HBO Max Live Events.

If you let me know of a legit tech issue I can pass it on to my colleagues at HBO Max and they will investigate & fix.

I do appreciate it when fans tag me and let me know if something’s up. I’m not always on the app.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 2d

I loved it. Really good segment.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 2d

Enjoy the rest of the show!

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 2d

Found it in the Full Replays section of Sports.

For some reason it’s failing to show up in Search, but it’s there.

No, but thanks for letting me know. I failed to find it also.

Quality Dad Joke. 👍

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 3d

I rarely skeet during Live but I got a break & felt compelled to address that Darby/Mox segment…

GREAT F’N TV.

Well shot, peak execution.

True! With the addition that Countdown to Wrestledream will air on HBO Max directly after Collision, it will be a 90 minute event once you switch from the Dynamite event.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 3d

Countdown to Wrestledream on Max will playout directly after Collision on the same line.

So 2 hours in Dynamite event, 90+overrun in the Collision event.

Hope everyone enjoys tonight’s show!

It’s Go Home night for AEW! Starting at 8pm on TBS & HBO Max with 2 hours of Dynamite, then 1 hour of Collision at 10pm, followed by Countdown to Wrestledream around 11pm.

Max Viewers will have to leave the Dynamite event and go into the Collision event around 10pm.

No the ICE ads are national. That would be for local ads, like when you see an ad for a local store on TBS or USA. That’s time sold by the provider. The network sells the rest.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 5d

But as far as the nuances of how streaming ads work, still learning.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 5d

Streamers use directed advertising, which isn’t by any means perfect yet, but is designed on giving users ads for products & services that they are more likely to buy. For example, as a 50 yo male I am less likely to see a makeup or perfume ad but more likely to get a beer commercial.

Rich Guleksen @richguleksen.bsky.social · 5d

On TV the same ads go everywhere except for the local break. That’s 1:00 per 30 that a distributor (like Comcast) gets to sell local advertising. What you see in that minute depends on where you are and what you’re watching on
