I think Maki is actually pretty drat solid in the ring. She has a unique move set and a clearly defined character. She’s a stubborn brat. When things start moving really fast she seems to get a little lost but she’s good at slowing it back down and getting the focus back on her.

Not doing moves well can be mitigated by looking cool, and Maki is very cool.

Dave just said he's on this TiJ this week with Tony Schiavone talking Jim Crockett Promotions so that should be a must listen. I assume it's the Wednesday show as that is usually the wrestling show.

The real galaxy brain but correct Maki Itoh take is that her social media stuff (which AEW leaned hard into) is awful but as a wrestler she's good and getting better - that Miyu match from 1/4 was very good.

My Maki Itoh take is that I'm glad she's gone for a while for no reasons to actually do with her but just because it hopefully means Maki Itoh discourse will stop for a while.

This is where I am, Maki Itoh minus her social media is cool and good and trending towards cool and great and they sky is the limit from there. Once I have read all 200 or something posts in the AEW thread I am looking forward to easing my lovely headache by smugly saying "just loving watch TJPW for more Maki itoh I swear to god"

Incessant Excess posted:why is bryan wearing a bath rug If this is a shoot question it's because a few months ago he was cold right before a show and grabbed one of his wife's vests to wear. Mike and The Twitch Homies gave him so much poo poo about it that when his wife bought him his own vest of the same type, he incorporated it into his gimmick.

Boomers are at retirement age or approaching it, generally have disposable income & a shitload of freetime to rot their minds on repeats of Blue Bloods & NCIS & Tucker Carlson's nightly hate.

Cable as a thing is so hosed up that even when it's cheaper zoomers and young millennials mostly stream. But it should be safe for a little while more at least.

Mal-3 posted:I thought Maki not being a super-good wrestler was part of the character? Like, she's a conceited brat whose ego writes checks that her grappling can't cash. It's more that she's improving. I believe that Maki the person knows she's not the best wrestler and wants to be better. Maki the character knows she's not the best and is incredibly bratty about it, claiming otherwise, being a jerk to make up for insecurities, etc. That's my read at least. PaybackJack posted:B is the key to why Lance's argument falls apart. Yes, both Jillian and Maki have "sings bad" as their gimmick but Maki having a backstory of being kicked out of a J-pop group has a wider appeal than that white girl that gets drunk and screams a song at karaoke night. That's why I mentioned the presentation - singers sound worse if they're trying to sing over the studio recording of them singing. It's setting Maki up to sound bad (alongside audio engineering meant for talking not singing). The_Rob posted:Maki ito’s social media stuff is like half the reason she got over. They should integrate the poo poo posting on screen if she was there longer term.

People like Maki Itoh because she is an interesting character. Because people like her, they become invested in her matches even if you she isn't the best wrestler in the world.

Do I just have a tin ear or something because while I didn't think Maki Itoh's singing was amazing I definitely didn't think it was nails-on-a-chalkboard screechy, intentionally bad like Jillian Hall.

Broadcast TV is still safe and probably not going anywhere as it's one of the few areas of free entertainment (beyond owning a TV). Even Youtube needs an internet subscription to use Cable TV? Probably dying but getting at least a short term lease on life right now oddly due to explosion of streaming services and the costs looking worse than cable in some places or in some markets. And if Streaming Services end up imploading or falling into the worst traps of Cable TV it might even thrive again

Yeah a while ago I would've said ah TV is on its way out, but with everyone attempting their own streaming services and the costs that come with it regular TV isn't looking so bad.
