I think Dynamite was kind of meant to play off of Nitro. TNT was kind of initially pushing it as a spiritual successor to WCW. Regarding trademark law, I think the argument would be just what you said, that they're not original. Basically, the more creativity goes into a name/logo, the more likely it is to be trademarkable. So, you'd argue that in a sport (or "sport") with two people fighting Collision is a pretty obvious name. Think of how often in sports people are said to be on a collision course or something like that. So it may be too obvious to trademark, as opposed to something like Wrestlemania, Bash at the Beach, or Double or Nothing, which are a little more out there. I'm cautiously optimistic about Collision. It seems to feature more of the people I like. But, if the booker is the same, and I think it will be, then I don't think I'll likely enjoy it. I really think Tony should just keep Dynamite as his pet project, and he can do the more indie Bucksish stuff there, and for those who like that, great. Then find someone qualified to book Collision, hopefully with a more serious style, and let people decide which they like better. |
Basically how Vince handled RAW and SmackDown during the first Brand Extension back in 2002 when he had Brian Gerwirtz head writing RAW and Paul Heyman head writing SmackDown. He still had the final say in the end, but he wanted two distinct feels for each show. RAW was more story-driven while SmackDown was more wrestling-driven. |
Sort of. I think AEW, from when I last watched it, already has a bunch of different feels. There is the lucha/indie stuff the bucks and lucha bros do, the deathmatch stuff Moxley into, Jericho's comedy schtick, etc. Some people like Punk, Cody when he was there, FTR, and MJF to an extent have a more traditional prowrestling style which is the stuff I like, so I'd like that to be on its own show so I could just watch that. And I generally think it would be have another style. Seems like the current AEW product has found its niche, so if they want to expand putting on some different stuff seems helpful.

It's good, but I'm kind of getting impatient.
