if this took place in Ichigaya, I would mark. But that's because they take great care to present these things as exciting and interesting.

Don't have a sword on your show if someone isn't going to be sliced and or diced with it.



Also imagine how crazy it would be if the feud ended with Jinder getting decapitated and Drew activating the quickening.


Or it's a bit more grimdark like GoT and Drew is executed and his head is placed on a pike in the thunderdome

Is this the second feud in WWE this year over someone getting called stinky? Why are they writing a show for toddlers when their core audience is in retirement hours?

wrestling always has dumb feuds over silly things. aew had miro feuding over video games and jericho feuding with orange cassidy about orange juice and bubbly, new japan just had a feud over the iron fingers from hell. it happens.

The only problem I really have with the drew-sword angle is that Drew started the promo mentioning that any real heirloom you bring to raw would be stolen or destroyed and then immediately shifted gears into "this is the real sword, here, which I have brought to monday night raw."

having just watched a NPU show where a dude brought out TWO machetes and cut up Mad Man Pondo's forehead with them and multiple other times I've seen dudes fight with knives, not using the sword is a copout.

I don’t understand the drip stick.

Is it a reference to something the kids are into these days? I know what ‘drip’ is, is it something to do with that? Where does the stick come into it and why (in the WWE’s case at least) is it just one of those cheap pool toy water squirter things?

yes and he showed up with one on tv like 4 weeks ago because it complemented (??) his 'johnny drip drip' gimmick

Sure, but unlike ... almost anything ... on WWE TV right now, at least 2/3 of those feuds were fun. I have not seen the NJPW stuff. I'm sure back in the day before Vince went fully senile the WWE also told entertaining stories and put on fun feuds based on silly stuff.

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.
Feels like we could have a Vince criticizing Vince twitter account when it comes to the quotes he said in that one interview about AEW. "More mature story telling" and "We don't do that blood and guys stuff"

Vince literally had Rey Mysterio's fake pingpong eye pop out on a PPV and had Rollins throw up because he had become too violent. AEW sure tried with their Barbed Wire No Ropes Exploding Death Match to be violent but more people were hurt from the Elimination Chamber lol

"more mature storytelling"

Bring on the tomato throwing, cartoon sound effects, feuds about people being stinky and having bad grades in school, 40-something year old men shooting people with squirt guns, haunted dolls and zombies, and multiple concurrent feuds where people steal each others hats.

I don’t recall them saying when the more mature storytelling would start, smart guy.

Cena is coming back next week to call someone poopy and it’s instantly going to get a hundred times classier.

So did they have Alexa disappear the second after receiving a Samoan drop, like did they cleverly edit it to look like the move made her literally blink out of existence the second she hit the mat? Or was it just the usual "lights go out and when they come back up she's gone" kinda bullshit

she got doudrop'd over the barricades and when Eva looked, Alexa was GONE.

Spooky.

Well that's kinda lame

I will say though, you know that the "Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn" cosplay look that was so insanely popular for a while has finally dropped out of the cultural mainstream, now that Vince isn't having Alexa copy it any more

I think they're trying to write off Alexa's spooky powers before they return to live touring again.
