On Noid...
It's whatever. He doesn't like AEW, it really doesn't matter of he does or not. I think he's very frustrated with Wrestling j general which I totally understand, and specifically with AEW because his hope for something that would satisfy him here shattered early on. I also have some major issues with the state of pro wrestling. For me the major problem is the PWG style influence which is a double edged sword for me. One side super cool and fun and the other super fake and inconsistent. However I was really pleased with the majority of this week's Dynamite except the women and headed to St. Patrick's Day Slam I'm definitely into it. I will say I have no interest in watching Dark: Elevation though based on the matches announced. Xrod at least does continue to watch AEW which I didn't realize until recently so I actually appreciate his point of view because it's at least fair. Ultimately I just want to say don't engage in a conversation that is going to derail a topic. This page is actually a lot better when we have actual debates and don't get into personal attacks. |

AEW do need to step up their presentation in terms of audio, camera cuts, blocking and branding. A lot of it comes across as subpar when compared to WWE or even TNA Impact from the mid ‘00s.

They’ve taken the worst parts of WCW, TNA, ECW, PWG and the WWE and rolled it into this weird wannabe hybrid.
Take even just the MJF segment this week: WCW: The story doesn’t make sense. Why did MJF join the Inner Circle when he just wanted his own group all along. TNA: So much going on and it all looked so silly. Lots of of WWE rejects flopping around. ECW: The lights off/lights on trope — WHICH MAKES NO SENSE!!! PWG: The self-indulgent nature of it, the crowd marking out to see themselves marking out. WWE: “The Chairman” Shawn Spears taking it to Sammy Guevara! The commentary is so fucking awful. That’s just one segment, and it was possibly one of the best ones on the show. |

I don't know, I can't really buy the "WWE Reject" thing. I suppose if their entire roster was only that, that would be a little lame. The idea that if someone worked for WWE that they can never work for another televised wrestling show, that's silly. Thwre's only like 4 or 5 "non-indie" promotions thay aren't WWE, the guys thay want at least some sort of exposure/pay are going to go to one of them. I kind of look at AEW like it's if NJPW, AAA, WWE, Impact, and the Indies all had an interconnected battleground. There's guys from everywhere.

TNA was probably the most egregious with that. At one point their entire roster was mostly old WCW/WWE guys and they weren't pushing their home grown guys much at all. So far AEW is not that and let's hope it never becomes that. Seems like probably not from the mix of talent they have.

1. I said I was glad he is back posting, after his battle with Covid. Nothing about knowing him from way back or "was back" as your initial post 2. You know post count does not mean join date, join date means join date. Not here quite as long as you, but join date for me is 2010. |

Also, Jim Ross needs to get off commentary. I cannot tell you how many times he has sucked the joy out of anything cool that’s happening.

I don’t expect Ross to be aware of Christian’s music but JFC his blabbering on Dynamite was atrocious. Not Todd Grisham level bad but still horrendous.

Listen, this forum has a wild wild west nature to it and banning isn't an option, nor would I propose it. But the free market solution to these dishonest wrestling forum actors would be the create a wrestling forum dunce/shame list. Unfortunately we might have to treat them like children for a bit.

Well, I guess that would depend on whether they clean their room or not, wouldn't it?

The issue is you’ll have to be as persistent as them. Most of us are past that point and have accepted our fates.

I know JR isn't great right now, but to me Cole is at the bottom. It's not all his fault [since he has to read a bunch of shitty buzzwords/phrases] but he sounds like he's been phoning it in for years.

Also yes, Michael Coke would be more over.
But would he suck any less? |

That's unfair. He's had the job for decades so he's doing something right. He just isn't for me.

I don't think xrod is Kane Knight...I disagree w/ xrod on a many things and he calls me names sometimes, probably more often than I'm aware since I have him on ignore and rarely read his posts...but he's not totally unlikable and pretentious like Kane Knight.
Kane Knight is literally the only poster I'd be fine with never seeing another post from ever again. |

If X-Rod were Kane Knight he'd have a LOT more than 4,000 posts in 11 years.
