Why would people fight to "win" the #1 and #2 spot in a gauntlet match?

>>18249184 (OP)
Hypothetically the match can end before you enter so you want to be in it as early as possible. I don't watch AEW so I don't know if they've used that fact in any interesting ways to tell stories but it's possible.

>>18249184 (OP)
Retardation.

The fact that no one has ever won the match in the first 5 minutes should make the wrestlers think about entering between 10-15 if they want to win the match.

They did mention that 1st fall wins in that context. But they also said the entrance times were random. So winning the spot could mean someone else enters 30 seconds later.

What’s the record on top 2 haven’t they won every time

>>18249184 (OP)
i think that wrestlers need to start hyping up the fans by giving good in ring performances.

FOR
THE
LAST
FUCKING
TIME
the match can end at anytime, first person to get a pinfall or submission wins the whole shebang, so coming out first means you have a chance to win it before anyone else enters the match
YOU
DENSE
MOTHER
FUCKER

AND
SINCE
WHEN
DO TOP
2 GUYS
WIN A MATCH
IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES

>>18249184 (OP)
Because the match ends by 1 fall at any time as soon as the first 2 entrants are in. As soon as the bell rings, the match can end by pinfall/submission

>>18249839
>>18249888
that never happens thoughbeit

>>18249326
Not at all

I just remembered I watched the one last year at all in and it sucked literally just a worst version of the royal rumble. Jabronis just laying on the ground outside waiting to get their shit in

>>18249184 (OP)
because you gotta be in it to win it and the match can end at any time.
outside kayfabe we know that will never happen, because the casino match is where they put a lot of cheap pops for returning talent, but in kayfabe, you absolutely want to be in early as possible

>>18250084
Doing 2 in the span of 2 dynamites is dumb

>>18249184 (OP)
They honestly need one match where the first entrance pins the second and that's the entire match so people get it.

>>18250106
It was a bleak period for AEW

>>18249855
What the fuck has previous matches got to do with anything? Maybe the next one does end in 5 minutes, then what? Would have been good to be #1 then, wouldn't it? Fucking retards on this board I swear

>>18250106
I mean it's the mens one and the womens one so I get it. For me, what's worse are the first 2, within a month of each other and Bruv won both times. Grim.

This is true and as freebie for any company with enough balls:
you should book a match like this, have it end just before the 3rd guy runs in and then evolve it into a brawl. Enforce the rules you make by showing them in affect and still get action for the guys you booked

>>18249184 (OP)
So you don't end like Serpentico standing in Gorilla waiting for his turn and not getting because the fight is over
