Stats are good for those who are more hardcore about the single player experience, but there should be an option to play with equal baseline stats for casual play with friends.

I dunno i think wrestling inherently has tiers. No one would expect crash holly to be on par with the rock. I think the best solution for a large roster wrestling game is to have letter ranks. S-D.

Internally it would be total stat caps. S ranks have 40 distributed points for example. A ranks have i dunno 30. Whatever. You get it. It would allow friendly handicaps that are easy to understand. "Im better at the game, ill take a D tier guy and you can pick who you want."

He’s done the full Dixie.

I predicted Aubrey wrestling. If she wins the TBS title, I am gonna demand payment from Tony Khan.

Given all of that (and even though I don't 100% agree with how you phrased the CM Punk part), it's still kinda weird that it took Jay dying for the Briscoes to stop being persona non grata, but Sabu just appears out of nowhere.

Marty is a mixed bag. You have the high possibility he'll be shit all over if he ever appears again, but maybe not.

The fact of the matter is his circumstance was the least shitty out of ALL the guys getting hit up during all the #METOO stuff. He came out and admitted what happened before anyone accused him of anything, and it isn't like he left a whole trail of suspect behaviors like a Velveteen Dream or a Joey Ryan.

Maybe enough time has passed where he won't be lumped in with all that... but then again, all it takes is one internet article, one clever enough crowd sign, one popular enough person with an offhand tweet, and it's back to exile for him.

I don't mean this as a diss... but it's something I can't unsee now.

Tony Khan looks like a literal Muppet. I don't mean British slang "dumbass", either. I mean he actually looks like he was put together by the Henson Creature Shop or Industrial Light and Magic and controlled by hands and servos. If he were an outlandish color like red (prob'ly with an orange nose) that would seal it. And they have 3 different versions: beard, no beard, and hard 5 o'clock TK.

He’s on TV for 20 seconds a few times a year. Who gives a fuck.

Tony Khan Ate My Hamster

A few times a year, or 7 weeks in a row, same thing :rofl:

You are 100% the embodiment of the All-apologetic in All-apologetic Elite Wrestling.

Who gives a fuck about AEW? Exactly. Shit like this contributes. But keep sucking that boot.

It’s fucking insane that AEW is trying to market a second show to AEW fans who don’t like the AEW product. Then they’re going to ask you to buy PPVs when you don’t like 50% of what they do.

“BUT HE SAID HE WASN’T GOING TO TAKE UP ANY TV TIME. 1 MINUTE 40 SECONDS THIS YEAR IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN NONE. THAT’S JUST MATHS”

Yikes

AEW’s a joke, guys. Don’t take it so seriously.

Dont buy into that lie. Those awkward announcement are longer than 20 seconds. You gotta go by an actual clock and not Tiny's coked up lack of blinking!

The act of putting himself on TV at all tells you everything you need to know about what AEW’s about. 20 seconds, 2 minutes, 2 hours. It’s bad.

Wrestling isn't real.

See you in 3 years Noid

Fake doesn’t mean it has to be bad.

:lol: got 'em

AEW have reached out to Sean Waltman about coming in for a backstage role and maybe do an angle with Daddy Ass and The Acclaimed.

I'd be thrilled for Waltman if this came to fruition. I don't expect he'd wrestle for AEW much more than maybe a couple of matches when the situation calls for it, but he's got a great mind for the business and is generally well-liked, he'd be an asset for backstage should he choose to come aboard.

Don’t hate that!

Would love that for him, tbh

Road agent BJ Whitmer got arrested on strangulation and burglary charges, and he’s promptly been fired.

It is only ok if it is your coworkers and it happens backstage. Then you get to star in a new show as a reward :rofl:

Got my MJF pickles today. Can't wait to try the fuck outta them.

*Third show.

Yes, nobody gives a shit about Rampage, but it still exists.

I thought you already enjoyed MJF's pickle in your mouth...

Lol, no one would listen to Waltman if they brought him in.

lol wrestlers having a dustup in the back (honestly a time-honoured tradition in the business, and something that happens in all sports, often during games) is a lot different than domestic violence.

In fact, Tony Khan is dumb for making a bigger deal out of the backstage fight than was necessary.

Also, you're just dumb.

From all the Brawl Out stuff, the most insane elements to me are still that Adam Page got to ambush the biggest star with a shoot promo and get away with it, and that The Elite are still EVPs after bursting into someone’s private locker room.

I think someone that is dumb would be somebody not understanding a joke, and then getting offended by it. :yes:

And they also got to make jokes and publicly disrespect the guy... but STILL claim that Punk is the "cancer".

Even if you're someone who thinks CM Punk is just a giant asshole, what does that say about the guys consistently being BIGGER assholes but somehow not being called on it??

Assholes the size of Rancho Cucamonga

That sounds like a place where their biggest claim to fame would be something like "Hey, Dude" was shot there.

The MJF pickles are great so far. Going to drink the brine. Thats how great they are.

But also, I'm in the camp that says pickle juice is great post workout and a fantastic way to hydrate so its not like that would be an irregular thing for me.

Chug a bunch of pickle juice when you're drunk before you go to bed or when you don't and wake up the next moment with a hangover. You'll thank Drebin later.
