Isnt it one of TNT's best rating shows and an absolute bargain for cost vs reward?

AEW already has a guaranteed 4 year contract lol

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I mean, I think a "guaranteed" tv deal is a little empty unless there's serious money incentives written in, but its definitely a huge mark of confidence from TNT and the notion that they have "buyer's remorse" because numbers have gone done a tick during the quarantine when AEW was airing compromised shows is definitely rooted in the wishful thinking of AEW haters.

TNT’s annual cost on Dynamite is comparable to the budget on a 10 episode season of one of their dramas (Claws season 2 had a budget of $48 million, they’re paying AEW $45 million a year for weekly content).

You routinely get a bunch of junior poo poo stirrers that show up and throw out flaming hot takes just to eat a ban. I really don't get it.

Having to preface a post with "I haven't watched wrestling in 15+ years" to make it seem like you're not licking the boot as you proceed to.......lick the boot.


How could you not realize that talent safety would be the number one question for an entertainment industry that definitely should not be running shows?

I’m sure there’s a couple of devils advocate trolls sprinkled among them but most seem to be entirely sincere dullards who made up their mind years ago that WWE and Vince are blameless and absolutely no amount of evidence to the contrary will persuade them otherwise

And, does it matter, gentlemen, as a practical question, whether we are, in the present case, dealing with stupidity or treason? When the Duma keeps everlastingly insisting that the rear must be organized for a successful struggle, the Government persists in claiming that organizing the country means organizing a revolution, and deliberately prefers chaos and disorganization. What is it, stupidity or treason?

The ratings arguments should be way more embarrassing for the Vincels. WWE has been a marketing powerhouse for decades. WWE branded stuff is in windows of toy shops, all over toy sections, magazine racks, collectable cards in supermarkets, and children will have reinforced brand recognition from their parents and their grandparents. With those advantages WWE's TV ratings should be 100 times bigger than AEW.

I ran some tests and it’s mostly dogged weirdos. WWE has yet to really employ a serious botnet approach to massaging consensus.

Who has the clip of Graves saying that when you're in lockdown you don't want to have sex with your partner because the thought doesn't appeal to you anymore or something, and Carmella looking at him like he's a loving moron as he tries to backpedal?

I give this relationship 4 episodes.

At this point the stupidness isn't caring about Io winning the NXT title, but caring about NXT at all. The best case is that Io does as little as possible and stays healthy until her contract runs out and goes back to Japan or to AEW. Same with Kairi.

E: also this ^^

Kane on Fox

quote:

He said: “We talk about public safety, but the issue is that when the government says something is an emergency. and we can do anything. Then all that has to happen is, you have an emergency. And that’s extremely troubling to me and it should be challenged by the people as well. [They] decided that they have to tell people what to do and that’s not their job. And frankly, I don’t think that they have that authority. No politician gets up there and says, ‘Hey, we’re going to take all your freedoms.’ What they do is they say, ‘well, you know, we have to assume some of these responsibilities.’ And when we look around through history and around the world, that’s generally what happens, especially in democratic societies.”

He was also asked about WWE holding events during the pandemic, which he supported. He added: “I think it’s the right decision because right now there’s just not that much available in the realm of live entertainment. But I think that it gives people a distraction and something else to think about and I think that’s important. I think WWE handled that in a responsible way. You need to walk a mile in someone’s shoes before you judge on that. So certainly in this situation, he did the right thing for him.“
