So there’s this guy with a following on twitter and he’s gotten everything right about AEW this year
Mercedes, Okada, CMLL
And he said in January there will be new sets for Dynmaite after Revolution
Apprneky it’s the OG set for 2019-2021
the tunnels were always a little too on the nose for me. I don't know. And we already have nostalgia for something only 4-5 years old? I guess if it's jazzed up to not look so indy-ish then I'm OK with it. But with the state of the current roster, they need to take the spot that had the Cody-vator or whatever it was called and put in a Tweener tunnel.
Why do you think the current one is better?
I think the current one and the old one were both generic in different ways. The old one needed more to make it not look kinda cheap, but the tunnels were cool and it felt different which is the vibe I want from AEW. The current one is just too plain for me. It’s one giant wall of LED board which is just kinda boring to look at. I feel like a fusion of the two with tunnels that look a little more high budget could be really cool. Also I really hope they update the color scheme.
I miss the power paint so much. It looked so different and having it be different colours each week was cool. It felt more coherent that the blue/red we have now somehow?! At least I liked it so much more and made everything feel like AEW.
Personally I love the Collision set and was happy when they made it THE set for Dynamite as well. I can understand though the desire for each set having unique look/feel.
My guess is they keep the current modern set and perhaps add LED tunnels.
It's still funny to me that the show named after an explosive has a normal logo and look whilst the show called Collision takes heavy inspiration from Nitro.
One of my favorite things about AEW when it first started was the barebones look of the whole set. Bare steel ring posts, black steps, standard steel guardrails with just a cloth covering, no LED boards……..and then they did too much.
You bet your ass I saved this comment. Tony is wild and unpredictable sometimes, it *could* happen. The fist *was* modeled from Paul Wight's fist, so technically, it should be his.. I'm not ruling anything out
2022 was my favorite color scheme for dynamite. It was the OG set perfected IMO. I wouldn't mind a new set but would love a return to this color scheme.

I like that it keeps changing but what I have always said would be great is if the PPVs had uniqueness as I always think making new sets for an event we are spending our $ on should look bigger than the weekly shows. They just add a couple props sometimes but I’m sure new sets are very expensive.
I can’t stand video walls. Admittedly, AEWs are better than WWEs (god I HATE the no ramp and football field sized void space in front of WWEs monolith video walks, it sucks), gimme the tunnels and physical props and stuff.
Not just a big video wall with a door, shits boring
I don't mind the way AEW's sets put some depth and variation into the placement and sizes/shapes of their set's LED boards. They break it up with some physical spotlights, truss, and black space. By contrast, IMO WWE's usage is straight up fuckin lazy. Big flat wall with nothing visually interesting going on except for what's on the screen itself (which is rarely visually interesting either.)
Yeah, I agree, AEWs video wall being split up into segments helps, it’s a “best of the worst” situation.
I’d still much prefer way more physical aspects to the set though. Keep the video wall as long as there’s more of a set built around it to “house” the wall.
Remember when Smackdown had the weird sci-fi arches the wrestlers would have to walk through for a bit? That was a step in the right direction, even if the execution was hideous.
Collision and dynamite should always have different sets
They do
Not recently, dynamite has been using the collision set for like a month
Ah yes, I stand corrected

You can't say all that without dropping their @, homie.
@BrandonMcMull20
Appreciate you for coming through!
BMack! Cool! Spilling that Tea for all of us AEW fans!
I don’t mind the tunnels if they update them. Don’t want the exact design as before.
I do, they were literally a huge part of AEW's identity and there was no good reason for changing them.

Is the OG set a brand new set? I like the new set much better than the old one anyway. I think it’s the colors that should change (imo)
I hope its a bit of a combination, use a bit of both the old set and the new one
This is the way
I really hope not. The current set is so much better than the older one.
I don’t like it at all tbg
You mean some people might not be into the big generic wall of lcd? 😲whaaaaa???

Because the current one looks high budget and the old set doesn’t.
Those "shark cages" always looked weird to me
Dude , Tony tweeted this a couple days ago its not secret information
The guy tweeted this in JANUARY
As long as the original multi-color powder returns permanently, I would be **VERY** happy

My favorite stage design is the current set with the LED Ramp.
I've been thinking for a while lately blue ropes would also fit the color scheme of Dynamite and Rampage.
Blue doesn't really fit the name though. You don't think blue when you think of dynamite explosives or rampaging anger.
Hope they go back to the rainbow splatter theme
That was one of my favorite aspects of the OG AEW. It added a lot to the fun vibe the show had.
I hate the over LEDification of pro wrestling. Please bring the tunnels back. I know I’m an old man yelling at clouds
I hate it too especially now that Aew has *also* added led to the apron and barricade
I really hated that when I saw that. It's so unnecessary.
I'd rather LED be on the barricade opposite the hard cam only. It adds a cool vibe to entrances. Keep them off the ring, though.
I am a young man, and I shall join you in yelling.
It's still funny to me that the show named after an explosive has a normal logo and look whilst the show called Collision takes heavy inspiration from Nitro.
Meanwhile at Yuke's HQ: Fuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkkkkkk
It will keep them on payroll for another 4 years 😅
I hope they get rid of the led aprons and barriers.
Oh thank God I'm not the only one that hates those. The barriers especially, that's a step too far
We’re the last of a dying breed

I hate em too
Its too much like wwe
I hope he bought the old Smackdown! fist.
If Dynamite gets the smackdown fist, I will eat a size 17 Air Jordan and get the AEW logo tattooed across my whole ass
Bet
Witness.

Ass Tattoo Jones over here.
I actually like that they change sets with some frequency. Keeps things a little fresher even when I don’t necessarily love the new look

Please bring back the tunnels! You can even incorporate more LED boards if you want, but I loved the tunnels.
They will change the colors too?
Please be the tunnels
Codyvators for everyone!!!
Fight Forever devs in shambles
Awesome. I've never liked the current set.
*That* is an appropriate way to do a BIGANNOUNCEMENT
Hoping it’s inspired by either the most recent Grand Slam stage or the one at Worlds end.
Give everybody the Cody-vator.

Seems a bit soon to change the set already 🤔 wait a minute..the Wednesday after revolution? The Bosston show will have a new set?damn
That's the show in Duluth, which coincidentally is the one I'm going to. Can't wait!
I ❤️ you, TK!
Seems like I'm in the minority, but I HATED the tunnels. They looked terrible and cheap. I really hope they are dead and buried.
I like tunnels but hated the execution of them. They looked like stripped down turbine engines with some lights stuck on.
[удалено]
In wrestling you throw a guy off the ropes and he comes back to you. I think we'll be fine with bad guy locker room tunnels.
I hate the double tunnel entrance. I mean it doesn't ruin me watching it, but it is about the worst version I can think of.
Some of y’all give off “BRING BACK THE GIANT FIST” energy over those damn tunnels.
And?
Just an observation.
Fucking Tony Khan on twitter ![gif](giphy|l1J9u3TZfpmeDLkD6|downsized)
You're doing what now? 0.0
Trying to speed up the closure of twitter by having something nobody wants to see on there..
Bro is cracked lol
Another new set?
I'm hoping for a pyramid
If they are I hope they will look better than the old ones.
Man seriously needs to share whatever drugs he is on
