Now, granted, this would also apply to a lot of other promotions including AEW, but has anyone worked out how much money WWE would be losing without the TV money? Because the idea that they're drawing money in the traditional sense while shedding viewers at like 4 times the rate of TV ratings decline is hilarious.

Probably a significant sum because tv rights are the primary revenue driver for wrestling now. WWE brings in 300-450 million a year just on Raw and SmackDown. Anyone asserting the current product wouldn’t fly back in the good ol’ territory days is refusing to understand that doesn’t matter anymore because live event gates are not the be all, end all of revenue.

Well, it's that they act like WWE's current product/business model would've worked back then, not like these outlaw 'fake' promotions. Which is absurd when most of those indies like PWG worked by drawing live gates, DVD/iPPV and merch money.

Back in August, Go Shiozaki and Kenou had a hour-long time-limit draw of a match that has received a lot of praise from virtually everyone that has watched it. Here is an exception from a commenter on Cagematch: "I'm reminded of an incident a handful of years ago involving Jack from YouTube wrestling news hub "Cultaholic" a forum that is predominately focused on news and discussion of major wrestling companies (WWE, AEW, NJPW, etc). On the off chance that they report on lesser known or infrequently discussed pockets of the wrestling world, they are often sloppy and inaccurate in their reports, such as when Jack described then-recent NOAH heavyweight Kenoh as originating in "Dragon Gate". Jack and Cultaholic at large was mocked by the small, but vocal puroresu community for such a glaring oversight. While I understand this outrage, in retrospect, I feel as if this comment has aged quite well, as the main event of NOAH's 20th Anniversary show featured what I can only describe as a performance only a Dragon Gate wrestler could pull off, courtesy of everyone's favorite bowlcut wearing, Napoleon complex possessed Fist King. 3600 seconds with little in the way of structure, thematic consistency, or really anything beyond a handful of overboard spots and intense strike exchanges, Jinsei Shinzaki's putulant infant of a trainee truly "Opened The Gate". Kenoh is, and I do not mince words here, the most cringeworthy dolt to hop aboard the Ark since Chris Hero. I'd like to thank "Jack the Jobber" of former WhatCulture notoriety, for putting into words, intentionally or not, what wrestling is truly about. Match was alright I guess."

Cagematch recently opened its Match Guide up to let anyone add a rating to any match that has a listed length in their database. I was going through and trying to put together a list of matches to watch from ~2004 or something, and there's a user giving 8s, 9s, and 10s to 6 minute matches on Smackdown involving JBL. None of their comments are hilarious or overly wrong or anything. It reminds me too much of a real life Banjo to be overly negative on. It was annoying as poo poo for what I was working on, though.

I loving guarantee you JBL is not that wholesome/upbeat. I post the following with the understanding that art is subjective and we all have different tastes. Manami Toyota has one 4 rating on her wrestler page. The comment is: "I like Toyota but she is missing psychology in most of her matches. I do not like her famous tag team matches but like one of her singles matches with Aja Kong. She is too quick for my tastes. She is not the greatest female of all time." The same poster wrote about Omega-Naito from the 2017 G1: [2.0] "I do not enjoy to watch the match. I do not like the arena where the match takes place. The match is really lacking storytelling. I do not like the after match celebration of Naito. I prefer a lot the match between Okada and Omega and the one between Naito and Tanahashi. The matchs shows a lot of problems of modern New Japan." The same match had another comment: "[2.0] "This was just more of the same for modern njpw. The whole of this year the big matches (outside of tana) are just a barage of stupid dangerous moves followed by no selling them completely so they mean nothing. In this match you had ddts on the ring post and piledrivers to the floor, super reverse ranas and other headrops that meant nothing as they would be running around a few mins later with no issue. There is no real stroy to this match other than dropping each other on their heads as much as possible. Omega is always awful but naito can be a good worker as shown by his tana matches but has such awful tendancies when not held on the straight and narrow by a tallent such as tana. Just a gently caress ton of big moves and nothing meant anything just dreadfull wrestling it is crappy indy spotfests moonlighting in a njpw ring. The two points are for the rather great crowd i cannot immagine how bad this would be without it. *1/2" Time for some low hanging fruit: comments on AEW: "it's overhyped to an inexplicable point. the disaster of a women's division and the handling of the big men speak volumes of the inadequate nature. they've got a brutal character like miro and letting him be a gamer who gets angry because best friends broke their arcade game? uh, where is the sports based presentation that was promised? i'm not saying wrestling is not allowed to be fun. but it must depends on the character. my life would be a lot better if i didn't have to see two top wrestler of the company do a musical. hey, if private party did this? alright. not ok by someone like MJF. the weekly wrestling is good. but they already have a hard time topping that in a ppv. apparent by their last one which was pretty bad. the trick is to tone it down in the weeklies, lure your viewers in so they buy the drat ppvs." "Too much comedy stuff for a serious alternative sports based Pro Wrestling company. This is the biggest disappoint in recent years. AEW can make a good cards, but they can't deliver. Right know, they are too exposed, without the fans is impossible to watch all the long matches, and the spotfest doens't get the same impact without crowd noise or when you could see it on every match. The booking is another thing i heavily deslikes, it makes no sense most of times and a lot of storylines are linked with a youtube show, bad bad take. I really hope Tony Khan gets he's not a genius and starts hire people who can write a proper show and storylines, he doens't need to be another out of the touch guy, seriously." "They are the true alternative to the WWE and they are the little engine that could. Will they ever de-throne the WWE ? At this rate, absolutely not. You have illogical booking with Sonny Kiss taking the fight to MMA star, Jake Hager, You have Kip Sabian who you could have built this company around and now he is a comedy act. There are way too many tag teams in this company. The womens division is full of un-trained and un-talented females that don't deserve TV time right now. You have Brandi Rhodes asserting herself into anything and everything she can like she is Stephanie McMahon. There are so many problems with this company and yet there are some really bright spots with this company. You take the good with the bad when it comes with AEW. They are an alternative and if you are sick of the WWE, I recommend AEW and if its not for you ..... then stick to the glory days of pro wrestling." "A very promising company marred by weak undercards and crony hiring practices. The original All In show was a near-perfect supercard featuring the best talents from across the world, and AEW's initial promise of a serious sports-based presentation were enough to get me excited. When the company came to fruition however, we got neither of those things. While the roster has some major talent in the main events, the midcard is often rounded out by green guys who are not there yet, and guys hired solely due to their friendship with the executives. We aren't getting the best and brightest on the wrestling scene, we're getting wrestlers who went to high school with the Young Bucks. I used to be a big PWG fan and remember workers like Peter Avalon and Brandon Cutler fizzling out over there because they weren't good enough. If they weren't good enough for a DVD-based California indie company, why are they now getting jobs for a major, nationally televised promotion? As for the serious UFC-style presentation, that quickly went out the window in favor of a more comedic, silly style that is equal parts PWG, equal parts 80's Crockett. Sometimes it works very well, sometimes it doesn't. So far, the PPVs have all been excellent and I don't think anyone has complained about not getting their money's worth. They truly feel special and deliver on AEW's original potential. Unfortunately, the weekly show leaves a lot to be desired, especially recently now that they're having an abundance of squash matches. Dynamite has turned into a skippable show for me, which is a shame considered I was so hyped for its debut, but ultimately I can still rely on AEW to pull out all the stops for their PPVs."

"Yuka does matches that are full of wacky antics like shoving a stinky shoe in her opponents face, strapping her opponent to a table and sliding them down a flight of steps, doing body slams in kitty pools, and smothering her opponents with stinky socks then passing out in the middle of the ring for well over a minute as if she's dead. She seems like more of a comedian than a actual wrestler. Once you strip away the ridiculousness in most of her matches and look at the actual wrestling you will see that its not that great. Her move set is basic and forgettable. She gets away with alot and often get undeserving credit because fans find her charming" absolutely adore this negative yuka sakazaki review, cagematch really is a goldmine.

This is a review left on AZM's page. I admittedly can't read... Spanish I think it is but I get enough to understand that this is a very silly review to leave "This 14 year old girl is VERY GREEN 0/10". Its especially funny when you consider the fact that AZM is now a very very good wrestler so he was totally wrong!

The biggest poo poo head, overly aggro guys I've ever met have all been really into at least one video game. Usually whatever the hot military thing is. A lot of them also work out a lot. So Miro being a big, roid rage rear end in a top hat and also loving COD seems very natural and normal to me.
