Why is the chain of people not ignoring people dumb until it gets to you?

… Because I’m not the one who started this idea of a chain of people responding to people being dumb until it’s conveniently NOT dumb. You are.

Jesus. Lol

[screech]

"It doesn't matter but I'm going to post it here to talk about how dumb and unimportant it is."

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, that too.

“That’s the point, it doesn’t.” was such a weird response. Lol

[screech]

Not that AEW needs more titles, but they do have more reason than ever to do six man titles now.

I can just imagine how clunky things would get with the rankings if this happened lol

[Evil Vito]

The rankings need to go away. It wasn’t a bad idea to try it as something different but it’s become a hindrance more than anything.

[xrodmuc316]

Yeah, that too.

“That’s the point, it doesn’t.” was such a weird response. Lol

You and Screech really love quoting without the context.

Damian said it was me only posting anti AEW, that I really didn't care about the tweets.

I said I didn't even mention AEW, and that dismissing the criticism because he works at AEW is a bad reason to give Dax a pass.

Fig asked why does it matter if the guy works for AEW or WWE.

I replied "That’s the point, it doesn’t" referring to my response to Damian.

THEN 2 turds waited 19 hours to bring it back up with no context because they are insufferable dumbasses.

HOB definetly one of the coolest stables in AEW and suffering from swollen roster. Plz ROH take away like 30 ppl. Malakai Black should be feuding with Hangman and about to win the title so he can have matches with Punk, Omega and Bryanson.

[Sepholio]

I support Jordans vision although I would prefer the best wrestler in the universe, PAC, to be champion and having all those great matches.

[Jordan]

PAC can be in the mix with all those guys but you can't put the belt on him cause he doesn't always make it to work!

[Jordan]

Wouldn't it be great if Kenny came back and got with the Bucks and were like "let's just send them, we're EVP's" and then The Undisputed Elite just went away to ROH like it never happened.

[Destor]

completely valid

[Fignuts]

Thats honestly pretty beleivable. From what I understand, Matt is the brains behind the buck's merch success, and Jericho has been very entrepreneurial for years. Not saying it absolutely isnt made up damage control, but I can certainly beleive its true.

[Destor]

the time line doesnt even partially work so i cant even approach the idea of it being true. the idea that became AEW predates Kahns involvement all together. im sure jericho was a big part in bringing the money mark in but the conception of this project was cody and the bucks working bullshit indy shows wanting more. any claim to the contrary is a farce.

[Evil Vito]

They did their own PPV which Jericho made a surprise appearance at, his first non-WWE appearance in the US in nearly 2 decades, and then Khan started to get involved shortly after that because AEW was officially launched months later.

I don’t think the Elite had any doubts about their ability to sell out a PPV, and I don’t doubt Matt or whoever was pushing to go even further. But I could see why there would be trepidation from some of the group turning it into an actual promotion when the chance came. IIRC the guys were all making good money between NJPW/ROH so it’s not really a surprise that Khan would’ve had to sell them on the vision, no matter how much money he said would be thrown at the project you’re still taking something of a leap of faith.

[Evil Vito]

End of the day I really appreciate TK’s enthusiasm most of the time but I wish this is the kind of thing he could’ve just shut up about. Even if it were completely true, it doesn’t make you look any better nor is it a PR “win”. All it’s really doing is giving the anti-AEW tribalists something else to seize on.

[Evil Vito]

Pretty hyped for Yuta vs/ Mox on Rampage. Yuta has been going well lately so for the love of god give him new trunks (pretty sure thats coming after the Dynamite segment) and let him in the club!

How good was FTR vs. the Bucks... ridiculous.

Hopefully Hangman vs. Cole is the end of that and Hangman retains.

I mean Twitter is basically astroturfing on steroids, I don't think he needed to be the one to say it though.

I suspect it's possible some of his staff are exhausted/exasperated dealing with those accounts constantly clogging up their mentions and messing with the algorithm. Makes it a little more understandable, but still weird to see.

As always, I admire his passion for wrestling and his Twitter account has no impact at all on my enjoyment. But the guy really doesn't know when to shut up sometimes. This pretty much just walks right into the usual stuff people make fun of him for really.

xrod's not as bad as Noid but they're both incorrigible at this point.

[Evil Vito]

Noid thought <I>Danielson vs Suzuki</I> was unwatchable. Do you realize how much you have to fucking hate wrestling now to get to that point?

I honestly feel sorry for him that he apparently can’t find any other passions in his life that he enjoys more than dumping on an entertainment medium he stopped finding any enjoyment in probably close to a decade ago.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Here's a secret: didn't love Suzuki vs Danielson.

I LOVE Danielson and have liked all his other AEW matches I've seen. Just think the "standing and waiting to get hit" spots are fucking moronic and that was most of the match. Can deal with them in short spurts but when the whole thing is "we're tough men who like getting hit," it's dumb.

That said, I'd watch AEW a million times over WWE. For all the indy bollocks that I don't care for, at least they're trying to make something fun. Really don't like the audience though. There's something very deflating about looking out into the crowd and seeing no diversity. All the same sort of people you'd see at a wrestle-con and nothing else. They need to broaden their appeal beyond "we're the super indies."

[#1-norm-fan]

I still remember when xrod called Kenny Omega Noid’s “boy” because Noid disagreed with him about Seth Rollins. Lol

Noid clearly knows xrod is ridiculous but he has to act like he’s a genius because they have the same agenda and he’s desperate for an ally. Meanwhile he claims to be an honest guy just trying to discuss things “in good faith”. For that reason alone, I put Noid below xrod.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

For all its flaws, I liked how the attitude era attracted all kinds of fans. You'd have the college kids trying to be edgy, long-time wrasslin fans, families w/kids etc.

Go back even further to before the Hogan era (and the very beginning of it) and it's a real mishmash at house shows, especially. Fun atmosphere.

I look into the AEW audience and it's a bunch of people who look like they only leave their basement to go to the AEW show. And they all do their stupid fucking chants. That's not particularly appealing to the overall aesthetic of the show.

Don't get me wrong--there's nothing wrong with being a basement-dwelling fan. It's just lame when it's all that I see.

They seem to suffer from the WWE problem of not actually knowing how to be cool. Which I guess is a problem many of us have.

[#1-norm-fan]

College kids used to have weekly wrestling watching parties on Monday nights. Seems insane now. Lol

[Bad News Gertner]

Those Nitro Parties do seem crazy nowadays. Brilliant idea by WCW.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Suzuki is a bit of a novelty but the guy is too old and beat up to give the kind of performance that would make these dream matches live up to the hype.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

College kids used to have weekly wrestling watching parties on Monday nights. Seems insane now. Lol

Interestingly, it was the “coolness” of the nWo that kinda hurt wrestling a lot. When everyone is trying super hard to be cool there comes a point that nobody’s cool anymore. Hard to find the balance.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, Suzuki is a bit of a novelty but the guy is too old and beat up to give the kind of performance that would make these dream matches live up to the hype.

Yeah. I’ve seen some stuff from Suzuki I liked in New Japan. Maybe from 2013/2014. He had an aura about him. In the context of Danielson/Suzuki from AEW, he looked smaller. And the psychology in that match was fucking shit. Two idiots standing around wanting to get hit as hard as they can by another guy is just stupid. Try to win your actual match, please. I turned off Danielson/Suzuki, if I recall, when Danielson lent into a blow from Suzuki that dropped him like a sack of shit. Just horrible.

Danielson, himself, is talented as fuck. Among my favorites. But he’s got that “too nice” thing and can be his own worst enemy. Plenty of other great things in wrestling that aren’t the white noise of two dudes slapping each other as hard as they can for no reason.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’ve been enjoying the fuck out of FTR. And WWE programming hasn’t sucked as much as it can recently. But don’t try and dismiss me because I don’t like stupid shit like Suzuki/Danielson, lol. That shit isn’t for everyone. It’s why no one watches AEW.

You have to like exactly everything about AEW, or you are a bot. That has been proven, backed up by independent studies you know!

[Mr. Nerfect]

It’s just the irony that it’s the same people who whinge about “you won’t let us enjoy things” are actually trying to impose their tastes. Like what you like, but there’s room for discussion as to whether it is good or effective or to everyone’s tastes. And that’s fine. It’s okay not to like something.

[Fignuts]

Suzuki is weird, because even a few years ago, he was still having bangers. Its like one day he woke up, and his age and all the years of abuse he put on his body hit him all it once.

[XL]

xrod's not as bad as Noid but they're both incorrigible at this point.

Does this need a poll? :?:

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ve stated my case for Noid but Xrod posts more and that might give him the edge.

[#1-norm-fan]

(Noid’s gonna suddenly post in a few minutes by the way to try to bury that post/pretend he’s got me on ignore…)

[Mr. Nerfect]

Suzuki is weird, because even a few years ago, he was still having bangers. Its like one day he woke up, and his age and all the years of abuse he put on his body hit him all it once.

That is probably the reality. New Japan gets mythologized too. A lot of people pretend that it’s better than it is (in many cases). Gedo’s great though, and he covers a lot of stuff up. So it’s possible that Suzuki’s gaps get noticed way more as he does freelancing work too. That wouldn’t explain a New Japan slip, but sometimes once you see something you can’t unsee it. It’s also possible that Gedo’s focus on him has changed, as well as his performances slipping with age.

The best we can hope for in wrestling is moments. Nobody is going to put out "The Wire" of pro wrestling.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Entirely creatively fulfilling pro wrestling relies on kayfabe. Just not possible nowadays.

[Jordan]

Actually creatively fulfilling pro wrestling relies on kayfabe. Just not possible nowadays.

Yeah which is why it's all about moments now. Moments like Austin and KO had, or when Austin came out to confront McMahon. Moments like Wheeler bleeding his head off coming an inch closer with each attempt or reversal in his match with Mox, or moments like FTR challenging a perfect match in The Briscoes at Supercard of Honor.

It's tough to convince me that "everyone here" loved Wrestlemania beginning to end, but I know that those who watched it had moments of fandom that reminded you of the best of times.

I think AEW does that for a lot of people because they have an attachment to ROH/PWG/NXT talents, because that's essentially the sum of the roster at AEW. Maybe Noid and Xrod just never got into that scene therefore they don't care about the turbo charged anime style that Kenny and Kota use, or the slam dunk comic book style of The Young Bucks. It's fine. It shouldn't challenge anyone who may have a different opinion to evaluate your own perception of things.

I may be in the minority as an AEW watcher, but I haven't seen much of ROH or NXT, except for a few smattering of ROH and NXT highlights/portions of shows/matches I saw, usually because we were watching some old WWE and they wanted me to see something specific from ROH or NXT that I'd never seen. Probably less than 20 hours total of ROH and NXT combined honestly, but I vastly prefer AEW over anything WWE is putting out. I don't even know WTF PWG is.

I will admit I somehow timed it just right and caught the start of both the Cody/Rollins match and Austin/KO live but didn't see anything else. It only happened because my wife and I happened to be re-watching Suits on Peacock and she fell asleep and I remembered that Austin was going to appear at WM. Didn't watch any of Sunday night. It was the first and only WWE stuff I've seen in probably almost 2 years now. The last things I remember seeing from WWE prior are Edge at the empty arena pandemic Mania match and the Austin empty arena Raw appearance sometime either (?) right before or sometime not too long after that. Even prior to that, my WWE watching was so limited/sparse I couldn't tell you what I actually watched before those two. As good as the 2 matches of this years WM I saw were, nothing happened that made me want to tune in to see what happened after. That's the problem.

AEW is far from perfect but they keep me entertained/interested enough to check it out 3 hours a week and the quarterly PPV most of the time.

[puroresu fan]

I don't want to watch Joe vs Suzuki. What is so special about Suzuki? He looks mean and loses a lot. How is he any better than Happy Corbin?

[Mr. Nerfect]

In many ways, he’s not. If Corbin went to Japan and hit guys with forearms on the side of the neck really hard, he’d be considered one of the best wrestlers in the world.

[puroresu fan]

Correct. Corbin is the safest wrestler in the company. That's important than being a stiff bastard. Everyone forgot how Goldberg ended Hitman's career?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Has Corbin ever hurt anyone or done anything really reckless?

[puroresu fan]

He hasn't hurt anyone but he went broke because of his reckless spending.

Moxley isn't leaving AEW!!!! HE LIKES IT THERE

[Evil Vito]

Dude wrote AT LENGTH in his book about how miserable he was in the last couple of years of his WWE run and part of the internet have still convinced themselves he's gonna go back lol.

At absolute most I could see him being content just freelancing for the rest of the career but AEW basically let him do that already outside of Wednesdays.

Shit before COVID, Mox was flying to Japan just to do one match over the weekend and fly back. If they get rid of their border restrictions he might be doing more of that. He's a madman.

Well shit man, his time in WWE may have been what started his alcohol abuse.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Even Dave is reporting that the Warner Bros/Discovery merger may not be the best thing for AEW. Do I think Dave is a reliable source? Not anymore. However, if you are going to believe him or anything, it would be the things that *even* he’s got to confront.

TK has his chance to entrench this thing. It was my complaint from the start. I was actually more optimistic for this than most people, and didn’t see why it couldn’t be more successful than <1 million viewers each week. What are the excuses going to be if/when renegotiations come up for talent contracts and TV contracts and TK hasn’t secured enough of a presence — domestically or internationally — to be able to promise exposure and growth? Why would Warner Bros Discovery not take WWE programming for their networks in 2023/2024 over a promotion they have to split ad rates with and has got a fraction of the global popularity and appeal to sponsors? I’m not being snarky or cynical — can someone actually answer the question?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well shit man, his time in WWE may have been what started his alcohol abuse.

Sure. He did show up to the WWE Hall of Fame toasted that time. It’s more likely that it’s the result of some sort of unaddressed trauma from prior to his wrestling career even starting. W. Morrissey — another wrestler who has had to get themselves clean — spoke about rooming with Moxley in developmental days and what a wild party it constantly was.

I’m just saying that when it comes to what an addict says they love and what ends up actually being good for them is not always a 1:1 scenario.

[Jordan]

AEW will survive through any turbulent water the Warner Discovery deal may present! AEW forever! AEW could have big deals with a multitude of networks because they are usually number one on Wednesday nights for cable! Also they could just have their own streaming service and put all their events on there and still be a huge company!

What happens when the discovery lady wants all shows to be PG? WCW couldn't adjust to toning it down. ECW couldn't adjust to toning it down.

Tony already has no idea on how book a show without those crutches, he really believes Wheeler bleeding made him a star. He also does not have the mentality to take criticism, and has anybody told him no in his entire life?

What happens when AEW refuses to conform to PG coupled with their already decreasing ratings? If Discovery Warner does offer them a renewal, will it be the giant windfall that has been promised? Considering the sell job Tony has made this entire time is that AEW is gonna make so much money when their TV renewals come up, that losing a bunch of money at the start doesn't matter, what does the business model become if that doesn't happen?

This is not an antagonist question, it can absolutely throw a wrench into everything they have built.

Because WWE lands elsewhere?

Did Warner/Discovery bid for WWE the last time they came up? What’s their line up on a Monday? Is it something they could shuffle out of prime time? Would WWE be willing to give up Mondays - the slot they’ve been in for nearly 30 years?

I appreciate the logic is “they have wrestling now so why wouldn’t they want the most popular <s>wrestling</s> Sports Entertainment brand out there on their network”.

[Evil Vito]

If Dr. Pimple Popper is any indication, Discover isn't really going to care about blood.

[drave]

Totally different situation though. That's key.

[Evil Vito]

Meant it somewhat facetiously but still. I'm actually cracking up at the potential cross-promotion.

[Evil Vito]

Aw fuck they're gonna send Sammy and Tay on 90 Day Fiance aren't they?

[Sepholio]

Does 90-Day Fiance want to have go away heat?

[Evil Vito]

Can they change the rules so I can be Tay's fiance for 90 days?

I’m not suggesting they lose Raw or SmackDown slots, just that they could take other ones. NXT and Level Up could fill those Dynamite and Rampage slots. Lower ratings, more global exposure, PG, better for sponsors, WWE supported, no ad split. Cody could have talked Vince into using the WCW IP so they can retain use of the trademarks and could bring back Nitro and Thunder for those slots (that’s more of a pipe-dream).

WWE can afford to offer low-ball original programming that they can justify to their other networks by providing more content when their deals get upped. Things like Talking Smack, another show being taped at SmackDown, NXT UK, etc. can be thrown into these deals and be used on Fox Sports, streaming services, etc.

AEW has nothing to offer but Dynamite, Rampage and ramping up the number of PPVs it can do for HBO Max. But are those going to be significant movers for Max? With basic cable as a platform they do, what? 100k, at best, in the US? So is Discovery going to move heaven and earth to be throwing those up every month or every two months for a couple of thousand people?

WWE and Discovery do have some sort of business relationship. Discovery owns an OTT app that WWE airs its content on over in Italy. Things like that can definitely come into play too.

Nothing wrong at all with Bret Hart as a template, obviously!

is it not paying tribute? why the quotes? it's not like he hasn't been long vocal about his bret love and was trying to keep it a secret.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Of course it's a tribute. Being someone who speaks the English language, I'm sure Roddy has heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

XRod is just fueled by AEW fan hate that blinds him from the truth but admittedly leads to hilarity. It's a delicate balance.

[xrodmuc316]

SMH, not whay my point was. He clearly knew what he was doing, he just waited until after people noticed before he said it. By doing it that way, that is what led to people initially pointing out he ripped off a Bret match.

That was the joke, "oh he ripped off Bret, oh no I mean he "paid tribute" to Bret".

Not a knock on Bret, not a knock on emulating a Bret match, JUST a knock on how Phil waited until he got a little negative feedback before he brought it up.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Giving Punk any negative feedback for using a Bret Hart template is fucking idiotic in and of itself and speaks to how annoying a lot of wrestling fans are.

Punk is not for everyone. I like him as a performer, but there is definitely something irritating and “unearned” about how he holds himself as a performer. I like guys taking themselves seriously. But it’s like Punk thinks he is a draw when he has been responsible for moving numbers maybe twice.

Wasn't talking about you in the quoted post. But your initial criticism in this instance holds no weight. He wasn't being two-faced because you don't need to tell everyone "HEY I TOOK THIS FROM BRET HART." He was asked (or berated apparently) and explained what he did. That simple.

You dislike Punk enough to not have to invent reasons to hate him.

It is embarrassing to a company saying they want to be more like real sports, yet they are pushing the one guy who we all know would get his ass beat by any of the wrestlers being forced to job to him. And why just because he is their boss' favorite wrestler.

[drave]

[XL]

The stretching is getting genuinely cringe inducing.

[fundiddle]

my overall take on punk is better late than never. you can't deny that he brings established appeal and match quality to the table, but i'm sure even he would admit that his status has diminished as a result of his extended hiatus from pro wrestling, to where he is not quite the needle-mover he once was. wrestling has changed a ton in his absence. mma w/l record doesn't really hold any weight, not sure why cumdorx has to make that argument, or why there's any reason to hate, when hate carries such a strong connotation and considering you can still stomach watching his matches


that being said, i look forward to seeing perhaps the only penta match i have given a FUCK about in forever tonight. a fresh match that i really don't know what to expect from either guy in terms of chemistry, story, anything really. it is yet another one of those matches that could have been actually booked better but we're just seeing it for the sake of a good paper card on free weekly tv. by the way, was really surprised/relieved that there are no stupid, meaningless and unnecessary gimmick matches for dynamite tonight. huzzah!

I don’t know why people are allergic to this take. A wrestler’s credibility is very important. Punk has definitely lost a lot of “what if” mystique by taking UFC fights and getting his ass handed to him. You have to work harder to suspend your disbelief. This makes it harder for things to work.

I know people who know Punk by the shitty horror film and don’t take him seriously because of that. What you do outside wrestling does matter.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

From what I'm to ascertain, there's lots of "hypocrisy" and "homerism" in the AEW versus WWE battle. In that the collective "we" ignores the shortcomings of AEW while complaining about the same things in WWE.

Also, apparently everyone "rides" Noid for criticizing AEW without watching it while many of us criticize WWE without watching it. This is from an inside source, close to the action.

The only one I find annoying is Noid because he literally thinks he's the main character of all life. XRod is humorous to me.

His credibility as somebody who can win fights is nonexistent.
He clowned AEW for a solid 2 and a half years.
He mocked them for their contract offers.
He consistently said he would Never EVER EVER EVVVVVER wrestle again.
He is STILL talking about FEDBAD even though he asked to go back.
He took a job with Fox on a show about WWE to try and get his foot in the door.
He THEN tried to get WWE to take him back again, and again WWE turned him down.
Fox offered to pay Punk's salary if WWE would use him on Smackdown, Vince STILL said no thanks.
He is as thin skinned as Tony Khan, and acts tough on Twitter to fans who don't virtually blow him, but everybody knows how easily he got his ass beat, twice.
He FUMES over a throwaway comment Miz made on a backstage show, but then has to name drop Miz on AEW TV.
He bitches about WWE getting blood money, but then thinks it is bullshit Bret Hart doesn't get to make that Saudi money.
He complained about old stars coming back and takings spots, yet that is exactly what he has done.
Regardless of my being wrong about who filed suit first, he absolutely dicked over Colt Cabana, mainly because Cabana visited friends when WWE was in town.
He has the same music, same moves, same T-Shirt as he had in WWE, good thing he has that creative freedom to do EXACTLY the same character that FEDBAD FORCED him to do.
He is a turd of a person.

From what I'm to ascertain, there's lots of "hypocrisy" and "homerism" in the AEW versus WWE battle. In that the collective "we" ignores the shortcomings of AEW while complaining about the same things in WWE.

Whilst I think there are certain communities (particularly AEW's sub-Reddit, which I seldom visit on account of Reddit being a toilet) who are brainwashed drones acting like the company is perfect, I think most people are fairly reasonable in their critiques. Especially during the in-show threads here.

I don't think AEW's shortcomings are ignored like they aren't there inasmuch as the regular AEW viewers here are willing to give those things a pass because the show is overall enjoyable. I certainly have my gripes but it's nothing "gamebreaking" for me and hopefully remains that way.

I don't feel like my time is wasted watching AEW, and at the end of the day, with a litany of entertainment options available, we shouldn't watch shit that makes us feel like we're wasting time that could be spent on things we enjoy.

Also, if Xrod said “I went to a cemetery, dug up a random grave and shit on the coffin”, Noid would respond with “I don’t see why anyone would have a problem with this…”

lol all you need to do is agree with Noid and you can basically be Vlad Putin and you're still good in his book.

[Mr. Nerfect]

His credibility as somebody who can win fights is nonexistent.
He clowned AEW for a solid 2 and a half years.
He mocked them for their contract offers.
He consistently said he would Never EVER EVER EVVVVVER wrestle again.
He is STILL talking about FEDBAD even though he asked to go back.
He took a job with Fox on a show about WWE to try and get his foot in the door.
He THEN tried to get WWE to take him back again, and again WWE turned him down.
Fox offered to pay Punk's salary if WWE would use him on Smackdown, Vince STILL said no thanks.
He is as thin skinned as Tony Khan, and acts tough on Twitter to fans who don't virtually blow him, but everybody knows how easily he got his ass beat, twice.
He FUMES over a throwaway comment Miz made on a backstage show, but then has to name drop Miz on AEW TV.
He bitches about WWE getting blood money, but then thinks it is bullshit Bret Hart doesn't get to make that Saudi money.
He complained about old stars coming back and takings spots, yet that is exactly what he has done.
Regardless of my being wrong about who filed suit first, he absolutely dicked over Colt Cabana, mainly because Cabana visited friends when WWE was in town.
He has the same music, same moves, same T-Shirt as he had in WWE, good thing he has that creative freedom to do EXACTLY the same character that FEDBAD FORCED him to do.
He is a turd of a person.

You can argue that when he’s said some of these things that he wasn’t talking in absolutes. I don’t know if he ever said he’d never wrestle again. His comments about Bret Hart were just weird, lol. But the interesting ones to me are about him and the early relationship with AEW/crawling back into bed with WWE.

My understanding is that AEW dicked him (because they are morons/possible some were threatened), but I did hear he tried to get back into the WWE. I didn’t believe they would say no to him, but when you think about what a headache he must have been (WWE were trying to push him for years before the pipe-bomb) and they probably knew they’d get no return off their investment, I tend to believe it now.

Punk’s not a draw. He’s kind of a Trojan horse you can let go to a rival and watch them get nothing out of him.

A lot of people say “AEW isn’t perfect” as a cover for their partisanship. “AEW isn’t perfect, I’ll be the first to admit that, BUT…” then comes the attack.

This place is getting fairer, it seems. The magic is wearing off. People realize “Eh, this is kind of the shits.” In my opinion, I don’t think the calibrations are completely honest just yet. People are still willing this thing to be better than it actually is. They’ll tell themselves it’s entertaining. Criticism is becoming more commonplace though. Guys like xrod, Lock Jaw, XL, Fignuts, Maluco and even Mr. JL with his rare appearance lately deserve credit for that.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The followers begin to realize “hang on, AEW isn’t perfect” beyond it being the line you can hide behind.

[Sting Fan]

Are we sure Punk didn't fuck X-Rod's mother, sister, or girlfriend? Maybe even some combination thereof?

Not sure how else I can fathom having THIS much vitriol toward CM Punk of all people.

I’m at the point that I assumed Punk fucked Xrod and never called.

[Evil Vito]

RIP X-Pac heat
Replaced with X-Rod heat

From what I'm to ascertain, there's lots of "hypocrisy" and "homerism" in the AEW versus WWE battle. In that the collective "we" ignores the shortcomings of AEW while complaining about the same things in WWE.

Also, apparently everyone "rides" Noid for criticizing AEW without watching it while many of us criticize WWE without watching it. This is from an inside source, close to the action.

The only one I find annoying is Noid because he literally thinks he's the main character of all life. XRod is humorous to me.

I don’t feel like this covers me. I watch more WWE than AEW every week, and feel like I’m quite “even” in my criticism of the product.

Also, can’t agree with your last assessment. Noid can be a blowhard but his criticisms of AEW hold water a lot of the time. He loses me by going “too far the other way” to create “balance” in the argument. However, he does form his own opinion (usually) and contributes his own thoughts.

On the other hand, xrod spends a lot of time reposting crap from Twitter and Reddit, neither of which are platforms I care for, and making exceptional reaches to criticise Tony Khan and/or Punk. Like, there is a decent amount of stuff you can legitimately criticise AEW for (too much garbage wrestling, too much blood, etc), that you shouldn’t need to reach that far.

That said, it’s his prerogative to do all of that, and if it brings him joy, let it be.

[Fignuts]

Dont really care if Punk is a shithead in real life, so long as hes entertaining when hes on my tv. And he is.

[Fignuts]

Like, do you know how many wrestlers could be classified as awful people by those same standards?

[#1-norm-fan]

Shawn Michaels was a shithead and lost real fights on a regular basis.

Shawn Michaels is also the GOAT

[Fignuts]

He lost to 100 marines, all fully equipped for combat.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Seems quite an appropriate time to mention that CM Punk blocked me on Twitter for suggesting AJ Lee looks like Gilbert Gottfried in their wedding photo. I hope he occasionally hears his voice when he’s banging her.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Xrods posts read like a 16 year old girls by the way.

There’s a strong chance you’re all picking on a 16 year old girl you bunch of bullies. Just leave her be.

[screech]

So we should all approach x-rod posts as if it's a teen girl? How quickly would we end up on a list?

So the same AEW fans who were booing Cody before he left are now chanting for him because they want what they can't have?

[puroresu fan]

Wrestling fans aren’t known for their intellect or life choices.

[Jordan]

Pat Buck quit WWE and is now working for AEW. Pretty wild, he was one of the top agents for WWE. I wonder if he can be responsible for limiting superkicks and dives outside of his brother Buck's matches? plz.

[Gerard]

Amazing how nearly every time a "giant size" wrestler appears they're almost always 7'2". Must be a hard on for that height in the wrasslinn business

I liked Cody im AEW. Think he should’ve turned heel and ran with it, and that his Ogogo feud stunk because if the patriotism angle when the betrayal angle was right there.

He put Sammy over big time on the way out abs I think his match with Dustin was the best storytelling AEW is likely ever gonna do, and I credit Dustin and Cody for that.

I’m rooting for him in WWE but man we all know how that’s likely gonna go.

[Sting Fan]

I really like Cody, I expected I would tune into WWE to see him. I haven’t. With each day it’s less likely I will I think.

Wait I AM CONFUSED. Is it true that fed bad and dub good? Is that the right thing to think? Or is it a joke that dub has not full amount of teeth? Is it about wrinkles and toothlessness but what about the wrestling? Is this a big time joke or is there news that I can't read in between the lines?

Sammy Guevara’s in hot water again. More clips of him making a “joke” about someone’s mom being black, so “fuck her, right?” and saying that he will rape Miley Cyrus. They sent him to sensitivity training, and this stuff is probably from the past, so who knows if the company will do anything about it, or if they see his changed ways and aren’t going to fuss too much about it. But don’t expect him to be a babyface anytime soon.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wouldn’t shock me to see him Controlling His Narrative very soon.

[puroresu fan]

Sammy's matches lack structure and pacing. He's overrated.

Haven’t watched but saw Sammy won’t the belt back. Meh. The title took a dip the minute he won it the first time. However, Ethan Paige cut a terrific promo that was only shown on Twitter I believe, and if that’s the direction they’re going in then great

He’s just turned heel via the traditional penis in Tay Conti angle, so this is actually brilliant timing to release all these past indiscretions. Great work Tony and Sammy.

Lol. Tony Khan wouldn’t have been able to get Bret in 1997. And Dave would have said that it was because WCW didn’t want him in the first place.
