I have always hated the fact that AEW puts things on TV that are worth watching.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I really prefer how AEW only does 4 PPVs a year with occasional special episodes. It makes them meaningful and forces them to progress stories on TV rather than running the same matches for 6 months straight.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

That's how NXT was for a long time too, but well.

Also it makes me far more likely to buy a PPV a season then every month with the special episodes as a nice inbetweeny thing.

Yup. I thought it enhanced the WWE ones too because it reinforced it being a “big PPV” if there was a Takeover the Saturday before. It made the whole weekend feel like an event.

Like why are these people so angry that a new character has joined a TV show that they don't watch? I didn't realise KENTA turning up in AEW would trigger so many vincel meltdowns.

Both shows are always trying to pop a rating. The issue is HOW they pop a rating.
I watch both shows every week and I have a hard time knowing what the NXT main event is even as I'm watching the show.

You...really nailed that one. I could not have described it better myself.

(Besides, is anyone actually complaining that Edge appeared on NXT? They do this with every Rumble winner and they established last year that the winner could pick an NXT Title shot.)

I had kind of a "come on, really?" feeling because it wasn't really something they hinted at on raw (to my knowledge) and it's obviously not going to lead to anything.

They didn't have it planned until after Raw, probably, when they realized that Beach Break was a thing that was happening and wanted to take eyes off of it.

The thing now is that with social media you can find any stupid opinion some rando holds and say “oh AEW fans say this”. That said I only saw people saying edge looked real old and haggard and it was sad.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
its funny that a wrestler going to NXT from RAW/Smackdown makes less sense than a wrestler from another promotion showing up on Dynamite because AEW actually acknowledges the existence of wrestling outside their TV show and RAW and Smackdown hardly ever acknowledge NXT exists

Speaking of, what’s the deal with Fatu that he’s all in with MLW and not in either AEW or WWE’s system? My vague understanding is that he has legit star potential.

Heh. I was about to post that. And this is coming from someone who likes Jacob Fatu.

Wouldn't be surprised if that poster was a Cornette fan. Cronette was always going on about how Hammerstone is the future of the business.

this is so so good, a kind of next level dogbrain

like imagine being the kind of guy longing for a more realistic serious wresting and being mad about kenta, one of the baddest dudes in wrestling who works an insanely stiff awesome striking style that inspired a million wrestlers and then denouncing him because you have never seen him wrestle.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

From what I understand AEW and WWE expressed interest in signing him but he had immediately resigned with MLW before anyone had reached out to him

His finisher is a vertical suplex dropped into a Side-Effect (Matt Morgan's old finisher), and he always seems like he's about to botch it every time he does it.

Also, the wrestling in black jeans is not a good look for him.
